Mason shot me a glare, clearly displeased. "You can say that now, but once you officially become my wife, don't ever comment on their rights or wrongs, especially not in front of outsiders."
"What about in front of you?" I asked.
"That's fine," he replied without hesitation.
I was a bit stunned by his bluntness.
I asked, "By the way, you're such a well-mannered man, but why is Joey so different?"
"Because I grew up with Grandma. Joey was raised by that woman," he said, full of disdain. "Joey picked up all her petty, scheming ways."
He wasn't even bothering to hide how much he despised Helen. Was that a sign he was starting to treat me like his real ally?
Since I mentioned that, Mason said something more about his family. It was only through Mason's casual explanations that I finally learned—Martin wasn't actually the true head of the Knight family, but Mason was.
It turned out that Mason's grandparents built the business empire from the ground up. They started with nothing and spent decades braving setbacks, clawing their way forward until they amassed a fortune.
They had four children—three sons and a daughter. Martin was the eldest. The second, Edward, worked in a high-ranking government position. For years, the Knight family's enduring influence in the business world had a lot to do with Edward's connections in politics.
Their third child, Christina, left during the wave of emigration in the '90s. She went to Navorange and never returned. Mason said she usually called on Christmas to offer greetings. Other than that, she barely kept in touch with her family.
Mason didn't know much about this aunt, only that she had a huge fight with Delilah when she was young, then packed her things and left. No one ever explained what the fight had been about.
The youngest child, Samuel, died tragically. At five years old, he was bitten by a dog. Despite getting rabies shots, he developed sepsis and didn't survive.
Samuel's death became a permanent wound in Delilah's heart. She always believed it wasn't the dog bite that killed her son but the hospital's negligence and delays in treatment.
That grief turned into action. Delilah began pouring money into hospitals—first out of rage, then out of hope. She hired top-tier doctors from both domestic and international institutions and brought in cutting-edge medical equipment.
What began as an effort to make sure no other child died like Samuel eventually blossomed into a bigger business.
Hospitals run by the Knight family quickly came to dominate the local healthcare market thanks to their sterling reputation and elite medical staff. They became leaders in the field.
And it didn't stop there. While Delilah focused on medicine, Mason's grandfather succeeded in other industries too. Together, they built a business empire. But more than that, they remained deeply in love and made their ambitions come true.
Still, time didn't wait. As the couple aged, the inevitable question arose: who would take over the business empire?
Martin, frankly, was hopeless. Edward was completely devoted to his government career and had no interest in business. Christina was off in another country, completely out of reach.
Even if Christina were here, Mason's grandparents wouldn't have considered letting a daughter inherit the family business. They believed the empire should be passed down through the male line.
With no suitable candidate among their children, the grandparents turned their eyes to the next generation. But Edward only had one daughter, and his wife had no intention of having more.
Thus, Mason became the proper candidate. From a young age, he'd been raised by his grandparents like a future CEO—groomed in every way to take the helm.
Had things gone according to plan, this would've been a heartwarming family success story.
But when Mason was seven, tragedy struck—his mother died. Just six months later, Martin remarried Helen. Mason's grandparents were strongly against the idea of Martin remarrying less than a year after his ex-wife’s death. They believed it would be a shame to their family name.
But Helen was already eight months pregnant when she married into the family. A prenatal ultrasound revealed it was a boy.
