Chapter 424

"Hey! Did you just scoff at me? If you do it again, I'll—"Alright, I'll tell you." Janet pouted and cut Mason off reluctantly. Staring at his bewitching expression, she felt her defense weakening over time. She always seemed to surrender to his threats, and if this news got out, she would lose the authority as a leader who helmed the MX.Mason flashed a ruffian grin and stared intently as she patiently explained her gift for Old Madam Lowry. Upon learning about that, he raised his brow with an amused expression. Did she send Grandma a piece of rare snow lotus from the mountains? The one that only blooms once every few centuries?Surprised by her valuable gift, he could only hope that his grandma would appreciate the sentiment. Janet's eyes met his slender arms that cornered her, and she put on a helpless look. "Can I leave now?""Where to?" Mason drew back his toned arm and stared at Janet with an intimidating smirk. She then stuck her hand into her pockets and lazily strolled away without any inhibition. "I'm going out for a walk! Staying at home is getting boring!"He lowered his head, chuckled, and asked her dotingly, "Are you implying that our place is so cramped that you feel trapped in here?""On the contrary, it's too huge I can't replace a sense of home here.""With me, you will always have a home." He took out a cigarette, lit it, and inhaled deeply. The wispy smoke billowed around her face, making the sight oddly erotic."You rascal!" She shot him a cold, hard look and walked around him to leave. Suddenly, a pair of long and powerful arms caught her by her wrist, causing her to pause what she was doing. "What is it?" She was rather annoyed. He took out the cigarette from his mouth and placed it on his left hand, careful not to burn her. "Do you want Black Python to drive you?""No." She waved her hand lazily. "He's even more of a rascal."Well, go on your way then." Mason's tone was low and suppressed, which evoked an inexplicable feeling in her. The moment Janet walked out of the entrance of the Lowry Residence, she spotted a Ferrari in Verde Germoglio, and she got into the car. When she was in the car, Lara instantly poked fun at her. "Janet, you're quite bold, aren't you! You're comfortable to keep me waiting at the entrance now." Lara paused for a bit before asking, "Are you not worried that Mason's men might tail us?"Blinking, Janet gave it some consideration and replied in a tone that was hard to interpret, "Well, I'm not worried at all!". Ever since Mason secretly arranged for Black Python to follow her to Markovia, he learned his lesson and grew wary. If he tried to pull the same trick again, Janet might not want to talk to him anymore. Lara smiled at the thought of it. Soon, her expression changed, and her brows furrowed as though she was preoccupied. "What's the matter?" Janet's gaze was fixed on the scenery outside the car, but an occasiona glance at the rear-view mirror made her notice Lara's complicated expression.Lara frowned deeper and hung her head lower. "Someone in Yobril seems to be looking for us. Their men have arrived in Sandfort City."Janet looked surprised. "Yobril?" Chuckling, she asked Lara without hesitation, "Is it the same patient again?""Yeah!" Lara started to express her concerns. These men had relied on sparse information to track down Janet in Sandfort, which was proof of their extraordinary ability. Hence, it would not be wise to offend them. Janet narrowed her eyes threateningly. These men never know how to give up, do they? Sitting beside them, Dexter was excited as he joined Janet to head to the school, where they would receive compliments from various reporters and the school principal. Unexpectedly, the first time he enrolled in a proper school, he ended up as one of the top three scorers in the college entrance exams. As he listened to the conversation between Janet and Lara, he grew more curious. "Boss, what is the illness of that man mentioned by Lara?"Janet lifted a brow in surprise while Dexter blinked at her with a pair of innocent big eyes. Chuckling, she replied, "Even if I told you, you wouldn't have understood!""I'm not as stupid as Tyler, Luke, and Leo. Plus, I'm the top three scorers of the college entrance exams! Just tell me, and I'll definitely understand!" In a hands-on-hips pose, he protested against the dismissal. Janet turned around and stared at the bustling street scene with a sweet smile. "ALS... Have you heard about that?"
