After the car accident, Mason calmed down and thought about it. His instincts told him Helen must've had something to do with it.
But no matter how thoroughly he investigated, he couldn't find a single clue. Whoever was behind it had covered their tracks with chilling precision. The mastermind was too calculated, and it didn't feel entirely like Helen's doing.
That was when Mason finally started paying real attention to Richard, the one who always trailed after him and asked questions with an innocent look and a book in hand. Mason realized that Richard wasn't as harmless as he seemed.
After the crash, Katherine's parents didn't blame Mason. On the contrary, they comforted him, saying it must've been their daughter's fate, and that she didn't have the fortune to marry into the Knight family. Their words only deepened Mason's guilt.
When they later decided to emigrate, Mason, wanting to do something for them, paid an astronomical sum to acquire Gordon Group.
The moment the deal went through, Helen and Richard both launched fierce objections. They accused Mason of using the family's assets without board approval, insisting he had no authority to make such decisions on his own.
Mason understood exactly what they were trying to do: push him into giving up his grandfather's inheritance voluntarily. That same inheritance had nearly gotten him killed twice. He'd long grown weary of the endless power struggles and backstabbing. So Mason agreed.
But after the acquisition was finalized, he discovered the truth that Gordon Group was nothing but an empty shell.
He had burned through nearly half of his grandfather's fortune for the company. It wasn't just Helen, but people across the Knight family started voicing their dissatisfaction.
Sensing the opportunity, Helen convinced Martin to strip Mason of his chairman position. The excuse was simple: the acquisition was a failure and had brought enormous losses to the company.
It was a perfect justification for a power grab, yet no one could object.
Of course, Helen knew full well Martin was good for nothing. But now her son was a grown man. It was time to clear the path for him.
Martin, who had never been one for independent thinking, quickly fell in line. With a bit of coaxing, he became convinced Helen was right. He moved to kick Mason out and install himself as chairman instead.
Just when their scheme was about to succeed, Delilah stepped in. She abruptly announced that she would resume the chairman role herself and appointed Martin and Richard as general manager and deputy general manager.
She then reassigned Mason to manage the newly acquired Gordon Group.
No one dared protest. Helen knew full well this was Delilah's way of protecting Mason under the guise of demotion, but she had no grounds to object.
Within just three years, Mason saved Gordon Group, turning losses into gains. He didn't stop there. A year later, it was already showing signs of competing neck and neck with Knight Group itself.
Helen was jealous again. She demanded a share of Gordon Group's dividends. But Delilah told her that if she wanted dividends, the original terms of the inheritance needed to be restored.
Richard was 22 by then. Mason, still haunted by Katherine, refused every arranged date and marriage offer that came his way.
Helen believed that it increased her chances. If Mason never had a child, then Richard's son would inherit everything. Thinking she had the upper hand, she agreed to Delilah's terms.
What she didn't expect was the sudden news that I started working for Knight Group.
It hit Helen like a bolt of lightning. She would never allow anything or anyone to block the path she'd so carefully laid for her son.
And I was the biggest obstacle.
She hadn't even had time to act before I began moving fast inside the company. I took down a marketing manager first, then managed to get the general manager removed.
My actions set off alarm bells for Helen. She didn't dare make a move too soon. Instead, she started watching me closely and tracking my every decision in the shadows.
