NovelOnlineMarcelo got straight to the point and asked, "Did you kill Cillian, your own father?"
Mason froze, stunned. "Mr. Byrne, | don't understand what you're saying! My
father passed away in a nursing home. I'm his son, so how could | ever do
something so monstrous?"
Marcelo did not answer. He simply stared at Mason with eyes like steel.
Mason held the gaze, lifting his chin slightly as if to prove his conscience was
clear.
Finally, Marcelo gave a slight nod. "Fine. Let's say | believe you... for now. In that
case, why don't you tellhow your father died?"
Mason hesitated, stumbling over his words. "Well... Mr. Byrne, you've got me
there. Ever since he was forced to step down, he had been... emotionally
unstable. He kept rambling about Mr. Lloyd wanting him dead. Eventually, the
doctors at the care center said he developed sform of schizophrenia."
He continued, "Not long after, we received word that he had passed. Honestly, all
of this is my fault. | wasn't a good enough son."
Marcelo scoffed. "Of course it's your fault, but the one who really deserves to die
is Andrew. That man is ruthless. Cillian gave up everything and even moved into a
care home, yet he still hunted him down."
Mason shivered and said nervously, "Mr. Byrne, we can't say that out loud. You

ill of him behind his back, I'm screwed."
Marcelo's tone turned ice-cold. "He won't be riding high much longer. When the
tide turns, it turns fast. He's been parading around Blumedale like a king for long
enough. If the heavens won't take him, then | will."
Mason's eyes lit up with subtle delight, though he masked it well. He fanned the
flames, saying, "Right now, Mr. Lloyd's power is immense. I'll be honest, Mr.
Byrne... It's almost laughable, but even we, the Ulrich family, with our long-
standing place in the Gabo Creek Chamber of Commerce, have grown afraid of
him."
He continued, "And we're not the only ones. Many others in the chamber are
terrified that Andrew plans to dominate us all and crush the competition one by
one."
Marcelo responded flatly, "Internal chamber politics are your problem. They have
nothing to do with me. That's enough. I've said my piece. Be smart, Mason."
He turned to leave, but Mason
suddenly dropped to his knees,
sobbing hard. "Mr. Byrne, you and
my father were like family. | know
there was something suspicious
about his death. But the Ulrich
family isn't what it used to be. We
didn't dare investigate too deeply. So
I'm begging you, please... bring
justice to his name!"
For a moment, Marcelo's eyes burned with fury. "You have my word. For Cillian's
sake, I'll destroy Andrew with my own hands."
With that, he walked to the edge of the balcony and leaped off.

Mason walked over and peeked
outside. After confirming Marcelo
had vanished, he burst into
hysterical laughter and dropped
onto the couch, finally letting his

It was obvious now that everything
he had just said to Marcelo had
been an act. However, Mason was
unaware that Andrew had witnessed
everything from the ceiling vent.
This new Ulrich family head really had a death wish.
Suddenly, a slow, mocking applause echoed from the doorway.
