Chapter 73: A Sham Marriage.

Mason ignored her as he adjusted his jacket. He laid his hair back with his fingers, and smirked as he walked past Ivy.

"Mason! Mason!" Ivy yelled, trailing behind him. Despite the anger she felt, she couldn't stop the curiosity from spilling. Her mind swirled with questions.

What was he doing here?

How did he even find this place?

He ignored her again as he marched towards her car. "Gentlemen," he addressed Tim and Bud, “and lady," he bowed to Mary, "You're not supposed to be here."

Ivy's forehead creased into a frown as she caught up. "Excuse me?"

Mason finally acknowledged her as he slowly turned. "Oh, Mrs Stone," he said with feigned politeness. "I didn't see you there."

Ivy scowled at him. "Oh, stop it! I was calling you. What are you doing here, Mason?" Mason turned away from her, ignoring her yet again. "You all need to leave. Now." Tim stepped forward, confusion etched on his face. He looked from Mason to Ivy." What's going on, Ms Stone?"

"Nothing," Ivy responded, before Mason could speak. "We'll discuss everything

tomorrow as planned. I can't wait to see how you'll transform this place," she plastered a smile on her face as she encouraged Tim to leave.

The confusion on Tim's face deepened but he nodded. "Alright." Together with Mary, they walked to their car.

As soon as they were out of earshot, Ivy turned to Mason, her face curled in disgust. "I don't know what sick game you're playing, but you need to stop. Now," she said through gritted teeth.

"Game?" Mason asked, the corner of his mouth tugged in a smirk. "You started this, Ivy."

"I didn't-" She stopped as Tim's car passed. He honked and she waved. Once they were out of the premise, she faced Mason fully, her voice louder. "I did nothing."

Mason's expression darkened, and he stepped closer to her. For a split second, the look in his eyes frightened her. "Nothing?" he repeated, his voice filled with venom. You humiliated me in front of the whole world! At my party, and you have the effrontery to say you did nothing?"

Mason let out a short, bitter laugh. "You poisoned her against me. You and your evil mind ruined everything!"
