The man, Mason Neely, frowned after sensing that something was not quite right.


    An old man then came up to him and said, “Don’t worry, sir. The And Only Jewelry Corporation wouldn’t


    dare to offend us. After all, they have much to gain from having a good rtionship with us!”


    Mason nodded. “Indeed. After all, they’ve already agreed to sell it to us instead of that guy


    Brookbourn!”

    “Hey, Dad, don’t you think Rachel is going to look beautiful with that ne and ring?”


    At one side of the room sat a greasy-lipped fat man who had just bitten down on his huge chicken


    drumstick. That man was Mason’s eldest son. Sitting beside Horus was Mason’s second son, Yoel,


    who could only smile wryly and sigh. He disapproved of his father’s approach, but he did not dare to


    object. because Mason doted on Horus more.


    Yoel and Horus were half-brothers, and Yoel’s mother-despite her dislike of Mason-was forced to marry


    him some years ago. She continued to date her lover despite being married, and since no secret could


    be kept hidden forever, Mason eventually found out about her illicit affair. Heter kicked Yoel’s mother


    out of the home, and the woman died in a traffic ident in less than a week. Yoel had always


    suspected. Mason of hiring someone to kill her.


    Although Yoel was Mason’s son, the affair that Yoel’s mother had driven Mason to never look at Yoel


    the same way again. He disliked his son so much that he even reduced Yoel’s status in the family.


    The phone rang all of a sudden, and Mason frowned before answering the call. After a while, he hung


    up. and clenched his fists angrily. “The Sanchezes are pretty brave to be going back on their word.”


    “What do you mean by that, Dad?” When Horus heard that, he was so frightened that the chicken


    drumstick slipped off his hand and fell to the ground as he stood up abruptly and said, “What


    happened? Aren’t they going to bring us the ring and ne? My woman must be given the best


    things in life, and besides, I’ve already told Rachel about it!”


    Yoel had a surprised look on his face and he could not help but remark, “But how? Why would they go


    back on their word all of a sudden? This is extremely hical!”


    Mason finally said, “I was informed that they have decided to send the pieces to Brookbourn to uphold


    their business’s integrity. They also mentioned that they were willing topensate us for it, as if my


    family would want that puny little sum!”


    Horus then stomped his feet in anger, “They’ve gone too far, Dad! The ne and ring can only


    belong to Rachel! Only my wife is worthy of such beautiful items!”
