If it were someone with a thinner skin, they would have definitely turned around and left.

It's as if he didn't understand the eviction order at all, he said with a grin, "Edward White, you can go rest if you're tired. You don't need to entertain me. I'll wait for Mr. White to transfer the shares to Amelia before I leave."

Is Mason Hawkins too naive?
She never expected Benjamin White's words to count for anything. Besides, her grandfather has always favored boys over girls and doesn't know the truth. He still thinks Benjamin White is his own grandson, so even if Benjamin White is willing to keep his promise, her grandfather won't agree to it.
Gabriel White is worried about the health of the two elders, so he's willing to swallow this bitter pill and conceal the truth. Of course, she won't destroy his filial piety for such a small matter.
