Chapter 1320: Chapter 1320: The Mafia Is Involved Too

Aurelia’s gaze instantly turned cold, and the corners of her mouth, once uplifted, were now pressed into a straight line devoid of warmth.

The guard brought over a piece of paper and a pen.

The paper bore the words "Divorce Agreement."

Aurelia’s face showed no expression, her gaze indifferent, yet it inexplicably sent chills through one’s body. Her fingertips gripping the pen were pale, indicating how much force she was using.

After a long time, she finally tightened her grip on the pen.

And wrote her name on the paper.

She threw down the pen and turned to leave.

The last stroke of the signature on the paper had torn through the sheet due to excessive force.

Vespera didn’t know whom Aurelia met, but once she returned, her entire demeanor had changed.

If Aurelia was once like a vibrant painting, now she resembled an ink wash painting devoid of color.

Still striking, yet lacking in color.

Outside, another explosive news piece burst forth, stirring up a storm once again.

At Lennox Quinn’s house, Mason Nightshade’s fingers tightened around his phone, his gaze darkened, "The evidence is conclusive, judged as the murderer? What does this mean? Since when can people in China be so casually judged guilty!"

"Mason, calm down."

During this period, Mason Nightshade had been staying at Lennox’s house. Once back at Nightshade Residence, he was grounded, and Lennox kindly took him in.

Lennox was actually worried that Mason Nightshade might do something irrational outside.

"You know Chinese law, without evidence, it’s impossible to convict someone of being the perpetrator, even if the accused is someone with high power or influence, which I’m sure you know better than I do," Lennox’s words carried a hidden meaning.

Mason Nightshade closed his eyes, breathing deeply, his chest tight with pain, "Is there still no result from Gustavo Yates’ investigation?"

"He’s been obstructed, and was recently ambushed and hospitalized."

Mason Nightshade showed a surprised expression.

Lennox said, "The Mafia likely intervened in this matter. Henry Fletcher dealt with Balthazar Shaw, and the Mafia might want revenge on Aurelia. I’m also investigating the case, but have faced obstruction everywhere. Investigators are either attacked to the point of bed confinement or evidence gets destroyed.

This time, it’s not just about Aurelia, it’s the Mafia’s revenge.

Their base is in M Nation, and our country can’t freely send troops there, yet M Nation seems to deliberately condone this terror faction, wanting the whole world to engage in conflict while they reap the benefits."

"I must see Aurelia!" Mason Nightshade stood up.

If someone wasn’t pushing this matter, it wouldn’t have blown up online.

His heart pounded irregularly, filled with unease.

He had to see her to be at ease.

He wasn’t by her side when she needed someone the most, and now she must be terrified, he wants to see her, to tell her he will find the evidence to free her.

At this moment, Adrian Cooper entered.

He held something in his hand.

Mason Nightshade gazed deeply at him.

Adrian Cooper ignored his gaze and handed the item to Mason Nightshade, "She gave this to you."

Mason Nightshade paused, a foreboding feeling surfacing in his heart as he looked at the file in his hand.

He opened it and saw the divorce agreement signed with the familiar elegant handwriting.

"This is her answer to you," Adrian Cooper spoke to Mason Nightshade, "I made a deal with her to prove her innocence and grant her freedom, in exchange for her leaving you. What you hold is her answer."

Mason Nightshade tore the divorce agreement, his expression cold and grim, "You don’t need to tell me these things. I don’t believe what you say, nor do I believe what she says. I know what’s going on in my heart."
