This time, Mason triggered the collapse through a hidden panel in the ceiling, which means that there was also a similar compartment at the international expo gala. In other words, there was a base of the White family there too?

“Fine. I have already seen it." Ryan pressed the Bluetooth headset on his ear. When he found that there might be a secret room on the ceiling, he ordered his subordinates to rush to the last venue. Sure enough, there was indeed a dark room left by White family. He held Rowena's hand and followed Mason inside, "Originally, I just wanted to give it a try. I didn't expect that you seemed to have gathered all the elites brought out from White family there."

"Exactly. My sincerity is quite substantial." Mason paused, sitting down on a sofa. Even upon learning that his hideout had been exposed, there was no trace of fear on his face. "Are you interested in hearing about my cooperation?"

"I think, no matter what, you want these people to come back without success," Ryan exposed. "Mason, from the very beginning, you devised a plan to freeze all the funds of White Corporation, threatening the elderly White to send you so many elite members. You never cared about the survival of the White family, and it even seems you intend to push White Corporation to its doom."

"You've done your homework well," Mason genuinely admired this opponent in front of him. "To have investigated to this extent is no small feat. But unfortunately, all this is just speculation for you. Without concrete evidence, you and the Vance family behind you will ultimately be the losers.”

"You don't need to enrage me." Ryan was not angry at all. He still looked at Mason with a relaxed expression, but the hand holding Rowena tightened, "I'm curious. Why did you suspect Rowena?"

Mason had said too much. There were some things that he did not want Rowena to know.

And even if he quickly changed the topic, Rowena still noticed the abnormality. What did he mean by saying that Vance family behind him was the loser? According to Ryan, she was implicated because of him. However, based on this situation, it seemed that Vance family had some feud with the White family.

She wanted to ask Ryan but realized the time was not right.

"Rosalind." Mason had no intention of hiding it, "I was originally curious and wanted to see what kind of woman could be Sebastian’s woman. But I didn't expect that the first person Rosalind contacted after encountering such a problem was Rowena. You did lock down the information about Rowena, but you ignored Rosalind."

Rowena suddenly understood everything. No wonder Rosalind would make such a series of odd actions. It turned out Mason manipulated everything from behind, intimidating and enticing her.

But even so, if Rosalind was close to Rowena's range of activity, it should be within his range, unless...

"You planted a listening device on Rosalind?"

"Correct." Mason laughed heartily, his voice dripping with a chilling brutality. "I implanted it in her body during our first meeting.”

This demon...Rowena suddenly remembered the scene of Rosalind wrapped tightly like a rice dumpling yesterday. She vaguely understood the meaning of this "implanting".

"No wonder we didn't find out." All taken into account except a tiny defect. Ryan laughed self-deprecatingly, "Tell me, what do you want?"

"Miss Gale, you are a businessman. I want to talk to you about a business deal." Mason looked at Rowena. The latter shrank back a little. He smiled again as if enjoying the feeling of playing with others."You don't have to be afraid. Since we're working together, I won't do anything to you."

"No matter what, you can't bring fear to the negotiation table." Rowena said to herself, and she straightened her back, "Please go ahead."

"You know, my ability to freeze the capital of White Corporation, effortlessly sever ties with the White family, and take away so many talented individuals means I hold a crucial key to controlling them. If you cooperate with me, I assure you that within five years, the White family will be severely crippled, unable to stand against you. Meanwhile, Heartbeating will use White Corporation as a stepping stone to grow, potentially doubling its scale." Mason slowly revealed his trump card, closely observing Rowena's expression.

"Tempting, indeed.” Rowena's expression did not change as she asked, "However, you are also a member of White family. Why did you want to defeat it?"

"Ha, this has nothing to do with Miss Gale." A cold light flashed in Mason's eyes, "And you guys have to offer the corresponding benefits. First, let me control 10 percent of Heartbeating's shares. Second, I heard that you and Mosen have reached an agreement?"

"Yes."

"I wish to add the content I specified in the training of the psychological school. Just one request." Mason shrugged, "It shouldn't be difficult to accept..."

"Impossible." Rowena refused before Mason could finish."Mr. White, I'm not just a businessman. I'm also a psychologist."

She knew the mystery of the people's ideological structure. That was also why she continued to be dedicated to clinical therapy in a small clinic even though she had become the company's president. Only by constantly increasing her practical experience and enhancing her professional knowledge could she be developed little by little toward her ideal as possible. Any slight change could have a huge influence. Also, considering Mason's personality, she could easily infer what content he wanted to add.

"Miss Gale, you seem to be very ambitious." Mason looked at Rowena with a bit of pity, "But you seem to have misunderstood the main point. For this kind of minor detail, to care about too much is too paranoid."

"Mr. White, psychology is my major. I believe I know it better than you, so I have more right to voice." Rowena's eyes were firm. At this point, there was no room for negotiation.

"I don't know what you want to express. Do you want to give up profit for helping people?" Mason looked at her with a funny smile, "I wonder what your grandfather in heaven may feel after knowing your determination."

"Shut up." Ryan interrupted in a stern voice. He did not expect Mason to play the emotion card in the end. He had kept many things from Rowena. Even if she knew, these things would only make her sad.

Ryan knew the taste of hatred. That kind of feeling was almost eroding his whole body. Everything in his eyes would become boring, leaving only a simple bloody target.

Whether it was Rowena's innocence or paranoia, even if she was stupid, it was a state that he would never be able to return to in his entire life. He sincerely cherished it and would rather hide everything and let hatred forever become his burden.

Rowena looked at Ryan in confusion."Grandfather?"

Her mother had never mentioned anything about her family to her. Rowena still vaguely remembered that she had asked her mother about where her grandparents were. But she only answered with silence and tears.

Later, she learned her lesson and never asked her mother a single word. She kept this habit until she reached adulthood. Even when she saw Ryan, she seemed to have forgotten about this question and never mentioned it.

"Mason, Rowena rejected your offer. Can we leave now?" Ryan did not answer Rowena. Instead, he turned to Mason.
