Chapter 1169
Olivia shoved a piece of angel food cake into Mason’s mouth in at
panic. She almost choked him.
“Does it taste good?”
“Yes, it’s tasty.”
Mason wanted to talk about what happened before, not the cake.
Olivia added, “Last time I made this, you said it tasted familiar. Have
you eaten this somewhere else?”
Mason said nostalgically, “Nowadays, the desserts on the market are
catered to the tastes of you young people. They’re all sweeter than
before. Back in my day, it was completely different. This is something
I tasted a long time ago.”
“An old lady taught me this recipe. She said there was a cherry tree
where she used to live. They would take the cherries and make angel
food cakes every fall.
“Life was tough back then. Children didn’t even have snacks they
could eat. Most families could only hope for more fruits from the
trees they had. But they wouldn’t let their children eat too much.
because they had to sell those fruits at the market.
“By the way, Grandpa Mason, have you been to Seaburg City before?”
“Of course, I’ve been there before.”
“Oh, what I mean is, have you been there around 50 years ago? There
was a place called Warlot Street. Do you have any memories of it?”
“Warlot Street of Seaburg City?” Mason shook his head. “I don’t really
remember. Those were turbulent times. Even the city names were
changed repeatedly.”
Olivia’s eyes dimmed. Was she overthinking it? Had he never been to
Warlot Street? But the woman in the picture was clearly Ms. Nat.
“Vanessa, you’re acting weird today. You can ask me directly if you
have any questions. You’ve saved my life twice. I’m indebted to you.
I’ll tell you whatever you wish to know.”
Olivia made up her mind. Even if Ms. Nat was his enemy, it should be
fine if she was just asking about her It would be great for her if Mason actually knew Ms. Nat.
“Grandpa Mason, the thing is, I happened to see a picture when I was drinking tea just now…”
Before she could finish her sentence, someone barged in.
“Dad, are you okay? I heard there was another attempt on your life!”
It was Krystal. She rushed in with a worried expression.
“I’m fine. Vanessa saved me in the nick of time.”
“Her? There were so many people on the scene. Why was she the one who saved you?” Krystal asked. She felt like something was wrong.
“Why are you so rude? She saved my life. Instead of thanking her, you’re suspecting her?”
Noticing the anger in Mason’s tone, Krystal’s tone softened.
“Dad, I’m just worried about you. If I knew this would happen, I
would’ve gone with you.”
“It’s fine. I’m unharmed.”.
Krystal muttered under her breath, “You’ve been having bad luck
recently. Who are the ones trying to kill you? And she just happens to
save his life both times too.
Olivia’s expression changed. “Ms. Heath, what are you implying? Are
you saying I’m related to the assassinations? Please don’t make such
bold assumptions without any proof.”
“I’m just saying. There’s no need to get so worked up. Are you actually
feeling guilty?”
“Enough! Get out if you don’t need anything. You’re giving me a
headache.”
Mason felt annoyed at the sight of Krystal and Tatiana.
Krystal stomped her foot and ran out with tears in her eyes. She ran
into Tatiana, who was walking into the room.
“What’s wrong? Why are you crying?”
“Mom, I said that woman’s bad news, but Dad doesn’t believe me. I feel like something’s off about her.”
Tatiana pulled her away. “Don’t say these things to your father.”
After they got to Tatiana’s room, she said, “I feel like something’s off
too. Look at this.”
She took out a picture. It was a photo of Brent escorting Olivia away

couldn’t be seen.
