Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 908

"Just grit your teeth and it'll be over soon." Mason cast his gaze to the ground. "What's this pain compared to death?"

I pursed my lips and asked faintly, "Who is this 'she' you speak of?"

If he wanted me to cut my face, I had to at least know who this debt belonged to.

"Samantha Grant." Mason looked at me with scarlet eyes. "She was only 18 when she left. It was a beautiful age. You're 30 now. Having your face disfigured now i s a light punishment."

I sneered. "What's her relationship with Theo?"

Mason squeezed his eyes shut, and there was a sorrowful look on his face. "I can't believe you don't know this. Looks like everyone in the Grants has forgotten about her. I'll never forget her or the scene of her jumping into the river."

After a pause, he continued, "She was a child the Grants adopted. She was considered Theo's cousin. Logically speaking, I should be settling this debt with Theo, but no matter what I do, it seems to not hurt him at all. I have no choice but to inflict it on you because only you can cause him pain."

"That's ridiculous!"

I could not believe that an outstanding man like him could be this selfish and scary.

"Ridiculous, you say?"

Mason sneered. "Since he caused me to lose someone important, I'll do the same to him. Isn’t that very fair? Besides, I'm kind enough to not claim your life. I'll just disfigure you."

Heidi once told me that there was a grudge between Theo and Mason. I then later heard rumors that it probably had something to do with a woman.

However, I had no idea what exactly happened between them.

Was it not absurd that Mason was using me as a tool t o get back at Theo?

Mason looked at me with sorrow and complicated emotions in his eyes. "Sometimes, I think you and her are really similar. I can see her shadow in you. You have the same kindness, so I was actually sincere about helping you get away from Theo. If you had just left him back then, all of this wouldn't be happening now."
