Suddenly, he felt that his previous hesitation and struggle might have appeared like a clownâs antics in the eyes of the other person.
âI can talk to my father about business matters and do as your family wishes,â Jasper continued.
Daniel was shocked to hear this. After all, he and Mason werenât that close, and besides, Mason wasnât the type of person who was kind, innocent, and helpful.
It can even be said that Mason is actually a very âcoldâ person, and he canât be bothered with anything that doesnât involve him or Veronica.
âWhat⦠is your purpose?â Daniel asked, staring at the other person.
âWell, yes,â Mason admitted generously, âMy goal is to get you to break up with Veronica.â
âBreak up?â Danielâs hand, which was hanging by his side, suddenly tightened into a fist. âYou want me to break up with Veronica? Why?!â
âI never thought you could stay by Veronicaâs side for a whole Macon Danielâs body trembled slightly. âWhat do you mean by that? Havenât you already accepted my relationship with Veronica?
You even hung out with us at school events and meals throughout this past year!â
âThatâs not acceptance,â said Mason expressionlessly.
In an instant, the word âsurveillanceâ flashed through Danielâs mind!
If thatâs not acceptance, then is it surveillance? Is he monitoring his relationship with Veronica?!
This⦠Veronica feels like her closest âlittle brotherâ!
âDo youâ¦do you really like Veronica too?â he exclaimed. He had once thought that Mr. Mason of the Reed family had feelings for Veronica that went beyond siblinghood.
Later on, he started dating Veronica, and Mason didnât show any strong reaction, so he thought he was just overthinking things.
But at this moment, he couldnât help feeling that he had overthought things.
âI definitely like Veronica. To me, she is the most important person and the one I want to be with for the rest of my life,â said Mason. His beautiful black eyes were now looking proudly at Daniel.
situation, watching the chess pieces that are already trapped in the game, saying âDaniel, you canât do it, and neither can anyone else!â
Danielâs heart sank suddenly. âSo, our familyâs situation was also part of your scheme, Mason? You are so despicable!â
Mason sneered and looked at the other person with mocking eyes, âDo you really enjoy blaming others for your mistakes just to feel innocent? I donât need to do something like this. All I have to do is wait for a suitable opportunity.â
Daniel was in a state of distress, and then he heard Mason say, âIf you break up with Veronica, then this deal can go as you wish. However, I donât want Veronica to know about our transaction, so you can use other reasons to break up with her. After the breakup, she wonât know that you wanted to use her to get your family out of trouble.â
âIâ¦I never thought of using her! My feelings for her are not what you think,â Daniel defended himself.
âSo, if you really do meet Veronica today and make a request, but she doesnât agree, what will you do?
Will you continue to interact with her as before, pretending nothing happened?â
Daniel was speechless upon hearing this. If it was true, could he still continue his relationship with Veronica?
Once the father is actually imprisoned, the Cross family will such a great calamity. Will he hold no resentment towards Veronica in his heart? Even if he doesnât, his parents will.
So in the end, itâs likely that he and Veronica will break up, right?
