“Daniel, if you ask me, we should keep playing along with this scheme. I can’t let myself suffer for nothing.
I also want to see what Zoey is really up to whether she’s acting on the family’s orders, making her own decisions, or if there’s someone behind her.”
Mason stole a few cautious glances at Daniel before voicing his thoughts.
Daniel’s lips pressed into a thin line, but he didn’t agree right away.
This time, Mason wasn’t in a hurry either, waiting for his answer.
After a moment, having turned something over in his mind, Daniel finally spoke again, “There’s no rush to decide. Your health comes first. I’ll have Emily come check on your condition later, then we’ll decide.”
“Who are you letting make the decision? You’re not thinking of letting Emily decide, are you? You call
your elder!” yourself a man, yet you let a woman call the shots for you, and even for me,
Though Mason had compromised, thinking about Emily’s attitude during their two meetings – so arrogant he couldn’t help but feel angry.
Daniel looked at Mason with a deep gaze, a mocking smile playing at his lips. “Really? I seem to remember when Grandma was alive, you actually knelt before her!
“What nonsense are you talking about, you…”
Mason was shocked. How did Daniel know about that?
Back then, Daniel was only three or four years old.
Daniel looked at Mason with a half–smile. “I guess I have a good memory. I remember things from when I was three or four.”
Mason felt guilty and had no comeback. Finally, he waved his hand helplessly. “Fine, fine, fine. We’ll do everything your way. After all, you’re the one running this household now. I’m old, my words don’t carry weight anymore.”
Daniel pretended not to hear Mason’s words. After giving Zach a few instructions to watch Mason’s health, he left.
After returning, his car stopped downstairs from Emily’s place.

Chapter 263
Daniel stood by the car.
Under the dim yellow light, his sculpted features became even more defined.
He leaned lightly against the car, looking up at the second–floor study.
The light was still on.
Emily probably hadn’t gone to bed yet.
Daniel thought for a moment, then dialed Emily’s number.
Emily had just about finished her work and was planning to turn off the light and return to her room to rest when her phone suddenly vibrated. Seeing the caller ID, she quickly answered.
“Daniel, is something wrong?”
At this hour, given his routine, he should be resting.
Don’t ask her how she knew roughly when he rested – she didn’t have a voyeuristic habit. You could actually tell from taking someone’s pulse.

“I don’t know if it’s convenient right now, but there’s something I’d like to ask you in person,” Daniel spoke respectfully.
Perhaps sensing something.
Emily got up and went to the window. Pulling back the curtain, she saw the car pa
wnstairs and
Daniel by it, looking relaxed yet elegant.
“It’s convenient. Come on in!”
Emily hung up and operated her phone.
The smart door opened.
Emily also went downstairs and led Daniel through the door.
She politely invited him to sit down and was about to pour him some water.
“No need to trouble yourself. I have something I need to ask for your help.” Seeing Emily about to busy herself, Daniel quickly stopped her and spoke.

Seeing Daniel’s serious expression, Emily realized it must be something imp ceremony and sat down beside him.
Daniel then explained Mason’s situation.

“I’d like to ask you to find a chance to check on Grandpa’s health. He took the antidote pill after being poisoned. Today I saw he looked weak, and I’m not sure if the poison has affected his body.”
Emily hadn’t expected Zoey to be so bold as to directly poison Mason.
“This isn’t any trouble. Tomorrow, after my competition I’ll go straight to the Smith Villa to examine Mr. Smith. However, Mr. Smith is getting on in years. Even though I gave him the antidote pill, there shouldn’t be any more incidents of testing poison on his own body. I’m afraid that if someone has murderous intent and the poison is too strong, even taking the antidote pill might be too late.”
Emily added a few more words of reminder.
Daniel nodded, also disapproving of Mason’s actions in his heart. “There won’t be a next time.”
“Good. Has Zoey already started making demands?”
Emily was just curious and gossiping, asking casually.
Daniel answered offhandedly, “Nothing more than the project and engagement!”
Mentioning the engagement.
Emily gave him an extra look.
Daniel immediately realized and declared his loyalty. “But don’t worry, there’s no way I’ll get engaged. I won’t get engaged to any other woman.”
His eyes were bright and determined.
If Emily didn’t believe him, he’d probably start making Mows to prove his loyalty the next moment.
Acting as if Emily were already his girlfriend.
Emily felt something strange stir in her heart.
A man who understands boundaries is a huge plus for any girl with him.

But after all, they weren’t together yet. Emily’s face flushed slightly, feeling a embarrassed. She looked away and changed the subject. “Then I’m afraid Mr. Smith’s suffering was really for nothing. Weren’t you trying to find out who’s behind Zoey? From what I can tell of her mind, someone,
must be pulling her strings.”
The atmosphere had been quite good just now.
Actually, he could sense that Emily wasn’t indifferent to him.
