Chapter 1118: Chapter 1118: The Drug Research from Fifteen Years Ago

Aurelia lay half-asleep on Mason Nightshade’s shoulder, enjoying the rare privilege of having Mason bathe her.

Once he finished washing her, Mason washed himself, grabbed a towel, tossed it on her head, dried her off, and carried her back to bed.

Holding the woman in his arms, Mason let out a long sigh from his chest.

He had never felt so fulfilled.

As long as this woman was by his side, he felt entirely content, even if he owned nothing, as long as she was there...

This time, it was his mistake, involving her in his risky moves.

He shouldn’t have let her get involved with those people.

He still hadn’t fully understood their background and didn’t know if they posed any danger to her.

"Sigh." Mason sighed. Once there’s a weakness, many thoughts emerge, yet he didn’t regret acquiring this weakness—he was even happy about it.

Meeting her was the happiest moment in his life.

She made him understand what happiness truly felt like.

Aurelia probably would never know how much her existence meant to him.

For the first time, he had this overwhelming urge to protect a woman with his life and to give her happiness.

...

The next morning, Aurelia woke up without seeing Mason. Hearing from the servants, she learned Mason had gone to the main building to discuss matters with Adrian Cooper and seemed quite busy.

A servant came in, "Miss Shaw, Ms. Junia Simpson is here."

Junia Simpson walked in.

Last night, Mason had mentioned that Junia would take her for a detailed check-up today. Junia, who disliked small talk and formalities, simply said, "Let’s go."

Aurelia nodded, "Let me go upstairs and change first."

...

In the presidential main building’s study room.

Adrian Cooper and Mason Nightshade sat face to face, their expressions serious, with a stack of documents on the table regarding the lab, all memorized by Mason with his exceptional memory.

Mason said seriously, "It’s related to the drug research from fifteen years ago."

Fifteen years ago, Mason’s father, Godwin Nightshade, conducted a secret drug research project with government support, but something happened in between, and Godwin jumped to his death.

The Nightshade Corporation nearly collapsed.

Fortunately, at this time, Mason’s cousin—Adem Nightshade, took over the Nightshade Family, averting bankruptcy and dissolution.

However, three years ago, Adem suddenly passed away...

The Nightshade Family was reported again for non-compliant products and tax evasion.

At that time, netizens were particularly resistant to substandard products.

The Nightshade Family’s stock plummeted, products were unsold, partners terminated contracts, facing another bankruptcy crisis.

At that time, the Nightshade patriarch called his grandson, Mason Nightshade, back from the army to take over the family business.

Mason lived up to expectations, restoring the Nightshade’s glory within a year, using decisive and strategic means in the business world, no less than Adem Nightshade.

But in truth... after taking over the Nightshade business for a few years, Adem had also restarted the drug research initially handled by Godwin.

Adem’s death was closely tied to this drug research.

After Mason stabilized the Nightshade business, he had tried to find those research records, but the research base was destroyed, and all the data disappeared.

Recalling Adem’s death is a lingering pain for Mason, the explosion... the look on the man with a similar appearance who pushed him away to let him escape...
