Chapter 908
"Just grit your teeth and it'll be over soon." Mason cast his gaze to the ground. "What's this pain compared to
death?"
| pursed my lips and asked faintly, "Who is this 'she' you speak of?"
If he wantedto cut my face, | had to at least know who this debt belonged to.
"Samantha Grant." Mason looked atwith scarlet eyes. "She was only 18 when she left. It was a beautiful age.
You're 30 now. Having your face disfigured now i s a light punishment."
| sneered. "What's her relationship with Theo?"
Mason squeezed his eyes shut, and there was a sorrowful look on his face. "I can't believe you don't know this.
Looks like everyone in the Grants has forgotten about her. I'll never forget her or the scene of her jumping into
the river."
After a pause, he continued, "She was a child the Grants adopted. She was considered Theo's cousin. Logically
speaking, | should be settling this debt with Theo, but no matter what I do, it seems to not hurt him at all. | have
no choice but to inflict it on you because only you can cause him pain."

"That's ridiculous!"
| could not believe that an outstanding man like him could be this selfish and scary.
"Ridiculous, you say?"
Mason sneered. "Since he causedto lose someone important, I'll do the sto him. Isn't that very fair?
Besides, I'm kind enough to not claim your life. I'll just disfigure you."
Heidi once toldthat there was a grudge between Theo and Mason. | then later heard rumors that it probably
had something to do with a woman.
However, | had no idea what exactly happened between them.
Was it not absurd that Mason was usingas a tool t o get back at Theo?
Mason looked atwith sorrow and complicated emotions in his eyes. "Sometimes, | think you and her are
really similar. | can see her shadow in you. You have the skindness, so | was actually sincere about helping
you get away from Theo. If you had just left him back then, all of this wouldn't be happening now."
| pursed my lips, not knowing what to say.
He seemed uninterested to hear my response and continued to look compassionately at me, saying, "Had you
left Theo at the time, your life wouldn't have been the same. | wouldn't have met Cecilia, much less hurt
you."
After a pause, he continued with a vicious aura, saying, "Theo has hurt so many people. Don't you think he
deserves to die? He'll always control the people around him under the pretense of love. No matter how much you
hate him or resist him, he'll sanctimoniously promise to be good to you and do things that he thinks are good for
you. Yet in reality, he's constantly hurting you.
| frowned. "You're too radical.”
"I'm too radical?”
Mason laughed in anger. "Did | say anything wrong? Theo has done so many hurtful things to you but says that
he loves you. You hate him but have no way of retaliating against him, so you willingly
hold back the pain and dilemma in your heart in order to stay by his side. I'm the same. He has indirectly caused
hell. I hate him but can't ruthlessly retaliate against him. Who exactly should | blame?"
What made us human was simply the fact that we had feelings and desires. However, when feelings and desires

| looked at him, unsure if | pitied him or felt sorry for him. | simply said, "So, you want him to feel pain through
me?”
He smiled. "That's right.”
| cast my eyes down at the dagger on the floor. "If | die, you'll inevitably turn against each other.”
"I know that." There was a sorrowful look on Mason's face. "That's the best way. When we becenemies i n
the future, we won't have to worry so much anymore. Neither of us will feel guilty. Neither one of u s has to bury
our wounds in our hearts.”
Love and hate were distinctly separate. It was easier said than done. How could it be that simple?
| picked up the dagger from the ground and mildly said, "Can you guarantee that Munchkin will grow up
unharmed?"
| was afraid it would be difficult forto raise Munchkin in the future if this dagger cdown on m e.
He nodded with a calm look on his face. "Of course. He's my son. I'll take good care of him and give him all my «
love and care."
