The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Chapter 260 The Opportunity to Rescue the Beauty Was Snatched Away

Mason had always looked up to Alexander since they were kids. Alexander was smart, got great grades, and was the kind of kid every parent dreamed of.

Mason grew up with them. Landon wanted to be a cop and went to the police academy, while Declan got into a prestigious university abroad and left the country with Alexander.

Mason got into a local university but couldn't measure up to Alexander and Declan.

When they came back, Mason went abroad for his master's degree and got involved with international conglomerates.

After returning home, Mason managed the Grey Group pretty well, but soon after, a bad decision led to a financial crisis. Mason asked Alexander for help, but Alexander, who had the means, refused. This made Mason resentful.

Alexander said, "Mason, you come from a good background. The Grey Group might not be a top-tier company, but if managed well, you could still be one of Skycrest's wealthy families. The Grey Group could have been profitable, but you were too greedy, investing everything into the Golden Gate Gardens project. Your greed led to the financial collapse!"

Mason responded, "Was it my greed, or your heartlessness? You all could have helped me, but none of you did!"

Declan and Hunter looked at Mason. Honestly, no one wanted their friendship to end like this, but Mason's extreme behavior had nearly exhausted their goodwill.

Declan said, "Mason, when you were in trouble, Alexander and I were also facing issues with our companies. We didn't have the funds to help you. But Alexander found a buyer for you. If you had sold the project, you could have turned things around. But you refused!"

Hunter said, "Mason, I don't know what happened back then, but knowing Alexander, he wouldn't just leave you to fend for yourself!"
