No one else knew about Yale's ambitions as well as Mason did. He was even prepared to negotiate with the Kingstons.
Even if he was going to sever ties with Krystal completely, this incident with Krystal still had to be settled.
The Kingstons would not stand for this humiliation.
But he didn't expect Yale to say something like that. He wondered if Yale was just putting on a show.
In the past, Olivia would think the same. But it was different this time.
She knew Yale meant what he said.
He didn't want a future that was paid for by Molly's sacrifice.
Tatiana wasn't able to keep up a friendly demeanor anymore.
"Yale, please don't be rash. There's no need to resign over something like this! Really, that's too much."
Mason stared at Yale intensely. "I need a reason."
Yale had never felt as calm and unburdened as he did at that moment.
"I'm tired of all the conflicts and competitions."
His attitude was like that of a young man who had just entered the workforce. He didn't even try to come up with a grand-sounding excuse.
"I thought I would be able to get what I wanted if I had more power. But in the end, I can't even protect my own family."
The light in Yale's eyes had been extinguished. He had lost his ambitions.
Mason didn't speak. He seemed to be thinking of a solution.
Krystal started yelling, "Are you fucking insane? Are you just going to throw away everything you've worked for all these years?"
Yale ignored her.
"My third demand is that I will be hiring the best lawyers for this lawsuit. Krystal broke into my home and assaulted someone. I have witnesses and proof."
Realization struck Mason. The two demands before were made to set the stage for this one.
Yale rejected everything the Heath family could have given him so that he could make Krystal pay!
