The next day…
A beautiful day it was as the sun shone brightly, but Catelyn felt slightly distracted somehow.
She got into a taxi and went to the address provided by the butler. The enormous mansion was situated
north of the city near a national park. There were not many residential estates open for sales around
the area as the policies had limited the selling prices and had caused most developers to opt for
retaining their real estate.
The mansion before Catelyn ranged for over 300 meters with beautiful greenery, a football court, and
even an outdoor swimming pool.
It was the very definition of a grand mansion.
Just as Catelyn looked around with the butler’s supervision, the door to the second floor of the mansion
was pulled open, and a tall figure stepped toward the balcony.
Cedrick’s attention was instantly drawn toward Catelyn, who was standing by the swimming pool, and
he immediately frowned. “Why is she here?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEason followed Cedrick’s gaze and explained, “That’s Miss Catelyn Clark, the designer Young Master
has picked for the interior design of this mansion. Do you know her, Master Cedrick?”
Cedrick rubbed his fingers thoughtfully with a cold expression. “Bring me her portfolio.”
15 minutes later, Catelyn was informed by the servants that Mister Mason wished to see her.
She froze for a brief moment before coming to realization. The ‘Mister Mason’ they referred to must be
the Young Master Mason’s father, the most talented member of the younger generation of the Mason
family, Cedrick Mason.
Rumors had it that he was ruthless, accomplishing the highest sales amount on a single day
throughout the history of Mason Group. He was also known to be the person with the highest potential
to become the next head of the Mason family.
As far as bloodline went, Jamie was supposed to call him his uncle, but the Mason family placed
distinct lines between their main bloodline and other collateral lines. The family that Jamie belonged to
was merely one of the many collateral branches of the enormous Mason family tree, so he was hardly
considered significant.
Catelyn followed the servant to the second floor anxiously and pushed open the door, before stepping
in slowly. She saw a lonesome, tall figure standing by the window with his back facing her. Though she
could not see his face, she could sense the intimidating aura oozing from the man. At the same time,
she felt somewhat familiar with him.
“Catelyn Clark, female, twenty-four of age. An elite student that majored in architecture in Sapphire
University, minored in jewelry design. You’ve once won the prize of the architectural design competition
on campus and obtained a full scholarship two years in a row. Your professor referred to you as the
female architect with the most potential amongst that intake, but you withdrew from school during the
second semester of your second year for an unknown reason,” the man’s cold, husky voice echoed
inside the room as he went through Catelyn’s academic background.
Catelyn bit her lip and the color began to fade from her face.
She could have completed university with the help of her scholarship, but with the twins and all sorts of
pressures she had to encounter, she could only choose to withdraw.
Four years had passed, and all of a sudden, this man had brought it up once again.

“Is there a problem, Mister Mason?” Catelyn asked politely, though she already had an idea of what
was about to happen.
“Why would I let a woman, who hasn’t even graduated from university, design a mansion that’s worth
over a billion?” The man still had not turned around, but his towering height was intimidating enough to
scare people.
Catelyn clenched her fists and said, “Academic qualification isn’t everything; I’m confident that I have
sufficient experience. Besides, BrightGene is supported by the Atherton Family with countless brilliant
designers. We’re all about teamwork, and I believe that we’ll be able to deliver a design that satisfies
you.”
“I trust BrightGene. However…” The man paused.
Shortly after, Catelyn saw the man turn around steadily, revealing a face that shocked her senseless. It
was the man she bumped into on the streets the day before!
That man was Cedrick, the father of Young Master Mason!
