There were a lot of cars on the road.
Kara looked at Adam, who was kicked to the middle of the road by Mason. He was like a leaf that had been swept into a flood. He turned the wheelchair in a hurry and was so scared that he almost cried.
Linda also panicked. He glared fiercely at Mason before she quickly went to save Adam.
Mason sneered and drove the car away.
Kara swallowed. She found that Mason was also very scheming.
No, it should be said that none of the people around James were simple.
Take Nolan for example. He was a top-class hacker who would hack computers, cellphones, bank cards in a minute. That was unbelievable.
Mason noticed that Kara was staring at him and thought that he had scared her.
“Miss Kara, did I scare you?”
“No, no. I was just surprised.”
In the past, Mason always gave her the impression that he was honest and a man of few words, but she did not expect that when he was ruthless, he would not show any mercy.
She had asked James about Mason’s identity out of curiosity, but James didn’t tell her anything. She didn’t ask about it any further.
“Mason, have you practiced martial arts before?”
“Yes, I stayed in the army when I was young. Later, I retired and went to the black market to make money.”
The old man turned his head to look at her whose eyes were full of curiosity as he stared at himself. His expression unconsciously softened, as if he was looking at his own daughter.
If I fight with someone, I can defeat them if I use some skills. But when it comes to business, I can never do it well. I was cheated by someone and went bankrupt. And I was almost killed.
It was Mr. James who has saved me. After that, I became his driver. It has been some years.
“Black market? What do you mean?”
Kara heard an unfamiliar term and did not understand it for a moment.
“Uh, it’s an industry. You might not know it, just like how I don’t understand your drawing.”
Mason realized that he had a slip of his tongue and was flustered. His palms, which were holding the steering wheel, were sweating. He raced his mind, trying to find a way to remedy it.
“It’s a type of black gemstone. It’s very rare and valuable.”
“Oh, I see.”
In fact, Kara didn’t quite understand.
The prison was in the suburbs, and it was a little far away. When Mason passed by downtown, he suddenly stopped.
“Mason, what are you doing?” Seeing him get off the car, Kara was puzzled.
“Miss Kara, wait for me for a while.”
Mason didn’t explain any further. After saying that, he got off and walked into a dessert shop.
Kara was surprised. She did not expect that Mason also liked to eat dessert. She liked it, too.
Five minutes later, Mason carried two delicate cakes into the car and handed them to Kara.
“Mason, are these for me?”
“Yes. Mr. Han sent me a message asking me to buy them for you. I chose the flavors that you usually like.”
In the past, when Kara bought dessert, Mason always wrote it down, and only by that way could he remember it.
“Thank you, Mason.”
Kara was surprised. He took the cakes with a smile. She then took two photos and sent them to James before starting to eat.
James quickly replied.
“Be good and wait for me. I’ll pick you up after work.”
“Okay. James, the cakes are sweet, but you can’t eat them.” She sent an emoji with a cute grimace.
Thinking about how she made the decision on her own and proposed to take Linda to see Kathleen, she pursed her lips.
“James, I want to go see Kathleen. Don’t be angry.”
When he went out to work, he also reminded her not to go out alone. However, as soon as he left, she immediately went out. She was afraid that he would be worried if she told him in his face.
“Little fool, I won’t stop you from doing what you want to do. But you must remember to ensure your safety.”
Kara was moved and stared at the phone for a while before revealing a grin.
“Mason, how do we meet Kathleen later?”
“Nolan has informed the jail about our visit. They will know what to do after we tell them we know Nolan,” Mason told her.
“Thank you, Mason. Although I like this cake, I still want to give it to you as a reward.” Kara ate one and handed the other to Mason.
Mason was surprised. He knew that the little girl liked to eat sweet things. Usually, James would prepare all kinds of snacks for her.
He didn’t expect that she would give him a cake, but he shook his head.
“Miss Kara, please have it yourself. Mr. James bought it for you.”
“It is right because James bought it for me that I can’t eat too much of it. Recently, I’ve been eating a lot of sweet food and I now have a toothache. If I eat too much, James would definitely scold me again and say that I couldn’t control myself.”
She pointed at her teeth angrily. She was an adult, yet she had a toothache because of eating sweets. One could imagine how many sweets she ate every day.
Mason heard her explanation and felt a little helpless.
“Then I’ll eat it.”
When they arrived at the prison, Kara waited for a while before Linda came.
When Linda got out of the car, she began to curse. The driver asked her to pay the fee, and she said she had no money. She pointed at Kara and asked her to pay the driver.
The driver had done a lot for them. He carried Adam to the taxi and helped him out of the taxi when they arrived at the destination.
Now that he asked them to pay, they actually said they had no money. This made him very angry.
“Do you believe that I will call the police?”
“Call the police if you want. It’s not that I don’t want to pay you. It’s that I don’t have money. She has money. Ask her to pay.”
The driver felt a headache and turned to Kara.
“Miss, this old lady said that you are her granddaughter. You should pay the money. I still have to pick up other passengers.”
“I brought you here. Why should I pay the fare for you?”
Kara ground his teeth. It was not that she cared about money. She couldn’t bear to see Kinda bullying others.
“You should ask yourself what you did. You refused to drive us here when you have a car. Instead, you asked us to take a taxi ourselves. And you almost killed my son. I will never let you off.”
Linda pointed at Mason with a fierce expression.
Kara did not want to quarrel with her. She got out of the car and asked the driver how much the fare was. The driver calculated and told her that it was about a hundred and fifty yuan.
She took out her wallet and gave two hundred to the driver. “Keep the change. Thank you for your help.”
The driver calmed down and took the money. He glared at the old lady in disgust.
The old lady was angry and pulled the driver.
“Why don’t you give us the change? It is about fifty yuan.”
The driver shook her off in annoyance. “This young lady said it is a tip for me. You old lady, why are you so petty?”
Your son couldn’t get into the car by himself. I carried him into the car and helped him get out of it. This amount of money is not much for what I have done. This miss wants to tip me, and I am very happy to take it.”
Watching the driver leave, Linda thought about the tip that should have gone to her own pocket, and she felt upset.
She turned around and stared at Kara, muttering, “You spendthrift, you have money, yet you are willing to give it to others, not your own grandmother.”
Kara was not angry. He indifferently walked to Adam.
“You can’t even afford to pay the fare for the taxi, and you still want to raise the child in Rose’s belly. What a joke!
The baby’s milk powder, clothes, diapers, daily necessities, all these need money. If the child has a headache or fever, he will go to the hospital, and that needs money, too. The child will go to school in the future. Can you afford all those?
Since you can’t afford it, why torture your child?”
Adam averted his eyes. All she said was like a bottomless pit, and he knew that he had no ability to fill it up.
But he wanted a son, and Linda also wanted this child, so, even if they knew it was a bottomless pit, they had to hold on.
“You evil woman! How dare you curse my grandson to fall ill and go to the hospital? I’ll fight you to the death!”
Linda did not want to hear anyone say anything bad about his grandson. She glared at Kara fiercely and rushed towards her.
