Mason Nightshade's icy gaze swept over Hadriel Wilson, full of pressure. "To think of your own student this way—is that what a teacher should do? Shouldn't a teacher see their students as pure and innocent? Hah, this is the first time I've seen a teacher so hell-bent on smearing their own student." "Honey, your teacher here doesn't seem like much of a person, does he?" Mason pinched Aurelia's waist twice, lowered his head, and inhaled the scent of her hair. In the next instant, his brows knit together as sharp pain stabbed his inner thigh. The most sensitive part of his flesh was being viciously twisted by the woman's hand. "You're… You're married?" Hadriel Wilson stared at Aurelia in disbelief, his eyes wide. The others' shocked gazes also fell on Aurelia. Aurelia let out a breath, hidden marriage—that just had to be revealed by this man in front of everyone! Her temple throbbed faintly. "Ah!" Vianne Collins shrieked in surprise. Having spent so many years mingling with all kinds of men, she sometimes brushed shoulders with the upper circle, and she found this man strangely familiar—even thought he might have been a celebrity. Now, looking at him more closely… He… he's… "You're Young Night!" How many people in Q City have the confidence to call themselves Young Night? Everyone quickly connected the dots to that Young Night who had returned to the country just over a year ago, reviving Nightshade Corporation from the ashes, so decisive and ruthless in the business world, mysterious in his methods. Very few had seen his true face; they'd only glimpsed his silhouette, caught by paparazzi in magazines. But now, after Vianne's outburst, looking at the man before them—his figure and presence—besides Mason Nightshade, who else could have this level of intimidation, those razor-sharp eyes? It was rumored Mason Nightshade had retired from the military. No wonder he was able to beat up Teacher Wilson so badly. Aurelia massaged her forehead—well, now, her hidden marriage really couldn't be kept secret any longer. If only she'd dealt with Vianne Collins earlier. "Do you want to head back?" Mason whispered in her ear. Aurelia shot him a frosty glare and got up to leave. She lifted her gaze sharply, noticing how the man couldn't hide the upward curve of his lips. A flash of fierceness passed through her eyes as she brought her foot down on his thigh. "Mason Nightshade, you did that on purpose, didn't you?" "Hm?" Mason put on a puzzled look, but the joy dancing in his eyes betrayed him. "Honey, why would I do it on purpose? Who knew, with how secretive I am, that anyone in that group could recognize me?"

Seeing the car still wasn't moving, Aurelia raised an eyebrow and shot a cold look at Gustavo Yates. Gustavo could feel a chill running down his spine, that icy stare boring right through his back. The Young Madam's word is law! Whatever the Young Madam says, goes. Everything must follow the Young Madam's orders! He spun the steering wheel and quickly drove toward Cloud Pavilion Garden. "Honey…" Mason tried to say something else. But Aurelia didn't even bother to glance at him. Her other phone received a text, and there was only one person who knew this number… She opened it. As expected—the familiar number. "Aurelia, are you playing me? You embarrassed me completely today. Is this your revenge for what happened back then? Hah, you deliberately seduced me, crawled into my bed all those years ago. Does your husband know about that?" Aurelia snorted inwardly. The truth about back then—only the two of them knew best.
