Chapter 85 A Big Commotion in Mason's Study

The sky was getting darker by the minute.

At the Smith mansion, Benjamin knocked on the door of Mason's study.

Mason was lounging in a recliner, reading. "Come in," he said.

He didn't bother to turn around, just heard the footsteps and then Benjamin's voice, "Sir, Madam is here."

Even though they lived in the same old mansion, Scarlett hadn't come to see him in ages.

This sudden visit had to mean something big.

"No visitors," Mason said right away.

Mason never liked Scarlett, the unpredictable and unstable mistress of the house, but his son had insisted on marrying her.

And she had stuck around for years.

Now that his son was gone, it was just him and Scarlett left in the house.

And she had given birth to a son and a daughter for the Smith family.

Mason let Scarlett boss the servants around and manage the household.

As long as she didn't cross the line, he couldn't be bothered.

"Yes, I'll just..." Before Benjamin could finish, Scarlett barged in on her own.

"Dad, you can't just shut yourself away all day! You'll drive yourself crazy!" she said, holding a cup of hot tea, looking eager but clearly prepared.

Benjamin, bound by his position, couldn't force her out and could only verbally try to stop her. "Madam, Sir needs to rest..."

"Rest? It's just getting dark. Can you really sleep, Dad? Veda isn't back yet!" Scarlett shot back.
