She accidentally shook her hand and sent it to Grayson Quinn.

She could already imagine how Grayson would reply.

Surely all kinds of sarcastic jabs at her.

Last time, she almost bankrupted the Nightshade Family, and Grayson nearly drove her to a deserted place to deal with it.

Grayson replied quickly, but without the sarcasm Aurelia Shaw expected, though the tone wasn’t exactly friendly either, "Has the wind started blowing west? You actually didn’t ask that dumb and cute idiot Gustavo Yates, but came to ask me?"

Aurelia Shaw replied frankly, "I originally intended to ask him, but my hand shook and accidentally sent it to you."

Grayson: "Your hand didn’t shake when you stabbed Mason Nightshade. Two millimeters, you really dared to stab, if there had been a slight deviation, Mason Nightshade’s life would be gone!"

As expected...

Aurelia sighed inwardly, telling herself it was all her fault.

She replied to Grayson, "Now, now," and sent a message to Gustavo Yates.

Gustavo Yates replied just as quickly, "Yes, Young Madam."

This "Young Madam" made Aurelia Shaw feel a pang of guilt as she touched the tip of her nose.

Previously, she didn’t like Gustavo Yates calling her Young Madam because they hadn’t remarried, and the title was inappropriate.

But now...

She felt guilty.

"Did you come to M Nation for some business?" Although Aurelia sent this, she strongly suspected Mason Nightshade had come for her.

However.

Gustavo Yates replied, "Yes, for business."

"..."

Was it her misperception? Why did it feel like Gustavo Yates’ attitude towards her had become much colder?

Unexpectedly, Grayson sent another message to her. She thought after she had thick-skinnedly replied, given his bad temper, he would ignore her.

"I wasn’t complimenting you! How come I couldn’t tell your skin was this thick on TV!"

They were indeed on the same wavelength.

Aurelia chuckled to herself and replied, "Did you think those two hours I spent in front of the makeup mirror were for praying?"

Sitting on the sofa with his legs propped up on the coffee table, Grayson saw the reply, gritting his teeth in frustration, "I thought you were praying to live a bit longer!"

Aurelia curled her lips; he was still so easy to tease.

Then her mood dropped again, and involuntarily, she confided to Grayson, "I just asked Gustavo Yates about Mason’s whereabouts, and he seemed quite distant toward me."

Grayson gloatingly mocked, "Hmph, you stabbed his master, he’d be strange not to be cold towards you!"

This Gustavo Yates finally wised up.

Back in the day, he was miserable in the army, frail, and could faint just from running. Men don’t usually like overly weak men, and privately made fun of him a lot. He was quite insecure in the army, and his family situation wasn’t good. His family sent him to be a soldier because they couldn’t support another male and to toughen up his body.

But the Chief of Staff saw he wasn’t fit for the military and advised him to leave several times. It was Mason Nightshade who kept him, making him his orderly and giving him individual training to improve his physique.

Plus, leaving the army and becoming Mason’s special assistant was also Mason helping him.

Otherwise, a poor kid from the countryside without education or skills wouldn’t achieve much just by staying in the army."

Aurelia didn’t know there was such a story.

Immediately, Grayson’s cold, mocking voice came through again:

"But this kid finally wised up!"

"No, this kid has always followed Mason’s orders. His distance towards you means Mason has finally given up on you." And he concluded with a gloating "hahaha."
