Chapter 174

Mason paced in his house, his heart racing as he pressed the phone to his ear.

"Calm down," Joe said from the couch, his legs crossed casually.

Mason didn't say anything, but he could tell Joe was anxious too by the way his mouth kept twitching, though he wouldn't admit.

The phone rang in his ear and so did his heart..

"Hello?" It was finally answered.

"Hi, am I speaking to Beatrice Ave?" Mason asked, his heart quickening.

"Yes," Beatrice replied, her voice soft and professional. "Who's this, please!

He glanced at Joe, whose legs were now uncrossed and shaking. "I am Mason Hunter, and I

"Mason Hunter?" Beatrice's voice rose with surprise. "How may I help you?"

I need your help."

He swallowed hard, his palms already sweaty as he stopped pacing. "I was hoping I could hold an interview on your news blog. Anything to help fix my reputation."

Beatrice didn't respond, and his heart leaped.

"Hello?"

Suddenly, he heard her laugh followed by more laughter in the background.

His cheeks burned as the sound rang in his ear. This was the seventh news person he was calling. TV stations had already declined him.

And here he was, thinking a blogger wouldn't reject him.

Beatrice laughed until she started coughing. "You need me to fix your reputation? I'm sorry, Mr Hunter, I don't help criminals."

“I'm not a criminal!" he snapped. "I have-"

"Just hung up," Joe said, taking the phone. The laughter continued until Joe eventually hung up.

"Fuck!" Mason yelled, stomping his feet.

It was hard to process that this was his life. Ivy had first ruined it, and now Rosie- and Cheryl-were doing the same.

"You need to take it easy," Joe said gently, dropping the phone on the couch.

Mason turned to him, his eyes sharp. "Take it easy? My life is over! My reputation is destroyed! My company is crashing! Cheryl stole my son, and I should take it easy?"

"It's just advice," Joe muttered.

Mason waved a hand and walked to a couch. "Save it."

He sat down, exhaustion gnawing at his bones, He buried his face in his palms

and sighed. Maybe it was time to admit that it was indeed over.

"What's the next line of action?" Joe asked carefully.

"I don't know," he admitted, leaning into the couch.
