“No! That’s not true!” Beatrice suppressed the panic rising in her chest, forcing out a wounded smile as she defended herself. “Wilda, there must be some misunderstanding. Our family may not be what it used to be, but we’re still respectable. We have our own residence, so why would we covet a donated estate?”

She turned to Amelia, her expression filled with pained disappointment. “Amelia, I know you still hold resentment over what happened back then, but you can make things up about Mom and Dad in front of Wilda. We’re not lacking a place to live. Why stir up conflict over something so trivial?

“And besides, I just secured a deal with the Holden Group. It’s worth billions. The profit from that one project alone is enough to sustain our family for years. Why would we possibly want a donated estate? Amelia, you can’t take advantage of Wilda not knowing the full story and just say whatever you like.”

Wilda’s brows loosened slightly.

It did make sense that someone capable of closing a multi–billion–dollar deal shouldn’t need to fight over a single estate.

“Is that so?” Mason’s tone was calm, yet carried a chilling pressure. “So you’re saying that when I went to your residence and brought Amelia out, I didn’t leave behind any evidence?”

Beatrice’s expression stiffened as she had just swallowed something foul.

“Illegal confinement. Coercion to sign a property transfer agreement.

“Ms. Beatrice, do you want me to send the recordings from that night, along with the surveillance footage from outside your house, to Mr. Jewell and let him judge the character of his business partner?”

“Mason…” Cold sweat had already formed along Beatrice’s back.

No matter how careful she was, she hadn’t expected him to go this far for Amelia, and even holding evidence that could completely destroy her family’s reputation.

Seeing her on the verge of collapse, Pedro finally stepped in, dropping his spectator stance and smoothing things over with a laugh.

“Oh, come on, Mason, aren’t you taking business tactics a bit too far in a family setting?”

As he spoke, he casually pressed the call button on the table, summoning the restaurant manager. “It’s not easy for everyone to get together for a meal, so why make things so tense? Beatrice’s still young; she doesn’t always think before she speaks. As her sister and brother–in–law, you should be a bit more understanding.”

The manager quickly entered. Pedro flipped open the menu with practiced ease and ordered several of Wilda’s favorite dishes.

Soon, plate after plate of exquisitely prepared food was served.

The atmosphere in the room remained heavy, but under Pedro’s deliberate efforts, the visible tension eased somewhat.

By now, Beatrice had regained her composure. She knew the estate issue couldn’t be brought up again, as it would only make things worse.

Casually peeling a shrimp, she placed it on Wilda’s plate and asked as if it had just occurred to her, “Oh, right, Wilda, I heard Mr. Jewell’s niece, Phoebe, has been staying with you recently. With such a lively

gathering today, why didn’t she come along?”

At the mention of Phoebe, the slight improvement in Wilda’s expression vanished in an instant.

Thinking about what happened at the estate yesterday, er anger flared up again.

She shot Amelia a sharp look and replied stiffly, “She’s busy looking for a place to stay.”

“What?” Beatrice’s face filled with exaggerated surprise. Looking for a place? What happened? Wasn’t she staying with you at Mason’s place? She’s new here, so how could a delicate young lady suddenly have to move out?”

Every question was deliberate, and each one was nudging the situation toward conflict.

Before Wilda could respond, Pedro let out a mocking chuckle.

“She was staying there just fine,” he said, casting a sideways glance at Amelia. “But someone here has quite the temper. She made a scene yesterday, and Mason couldn’t bear it. So first thing this morning, he had Grandma and Phoebe escorted out.”

He deliberately emphasized the word escorted, his sarcasm unmistakable.

“Grandma, I told you before that you should’ve just stayed at my place. It might not be as big as Mason’s estate, but it’s peaceful. No one there would dare give you attitude.”
