Even After Death Novel (Olivia Fordham And Ethan Miller) novel Chapter 1141

Fortunately for Tatiana, the slap didn't sting that much because Mason hadn't fully recovered.

However, there was a red mark on her cheek.

"You slapped me! How could you slap me! Who am I doing this for? It's all for you!" she sobbed.

She continued, "I know that you admire Ethan. Back then, you were afraid that it would be difficult for him to stand on his feet alone, so you pushed Yale up. You chose Yale because Linus was away from us.

"I know how much you approve of Ethan all these years. If we can make him our son-in-law, it can solve all of the problems. I'm not doing this for Krystal. I'm doing this for our family, for our families! I'm also thinking about our future generation!"

"Still … you shouldn't have resorted to such underhanded means. What will he think of you in the future?"

"What will he think of me? He's a divorced man, but we're marrying our daughter to him. He's not in the position to complain when even we're not saying anything."

Mason took a sip of tea to calm himself down. "You're being ridiculous."

"Mason, I know that you're blaming me because this is not an honest move. But what other ideas do we have? Things have come this far, and we don't have any other choice. Mason, we're on the same team now."

She patted the back of his hand and added, "Mason, I'll deal with the consequences for the deeds done. You don't have to do anything. All you have to do is support me."

"I will never acknowledge nor support such a plan." He stood up and spared her a cold glance. "If Ethan were so easy to deal with, I wouldn't have wasted so many years."

"What do you mean?"

"Nothing. Some things aren't as simple as you think they are." He turned around and left.

Tatiana and Mason had been sleeping in different rooms for a long time.

All this time, she assumed that he was simply exhausted from work.

But the truth was, he didn't want to touch her at all.

That year, she drugged him. Apart from his lacking status, another reason why he went along with it was because he needed the Benson family's support.

However, that didn't mean that he could accept the incident. Even after all these years, it was a thorn in his flesh.
