âMason, can you help me put on the necklace? This necklace is like a lucky charm to me, and Iâm so happy to have it back,â
Veronica said.
âSure.â Mason responded and released the embrace, carefully putting the necklace on Veronicaâs delicate neck.
Veronica lifted her hand and gently stroked the pendant of the necklace. âThanks to it, I was protected.
But that day was really lucky for us. How did you get the clue to track it down?â she asked, puzzled.
His eyelashes trembled slightly as he looked down at the pendant hanging from her neck. âItâs a long story. Iâll tell you another time.â
âOkay.â She didnât press for more information, thankfully.
Mason looked at the person in front of him. If she had pressed for more information, what would he have said? How could he tell her that he had secretly installed a tracking device in the necklace he had given her?
Would she be angry if he told her?
He didnât want her to be angry again. It had taken so much effort to become intimate with her again, and he didnât want any more cracks to form between them.
At night, in the Reed familyâs study, Jason looked at his second son. He was surprised that his son wanted to talk to him alone. It gave him a sense of being a father.
âAre you here to talk to me about the kidnapping case?â Jason asked.
âYes,â Mason replied. He then asked directly, âWhen can Lionel be released on bail?â
âAt the moment, he is not suitable for bail,â Jason said.
âHe is not the mastermind,â Mason said.
Jason smiled, âHe may not have the ability to be the mastermind yet, at most heâs just being used by someone. You know it, and I know it too. But this needs to be judged by the court, not by you and me.â
âYou can get him released on bail, I know you can,â Mason said.
Jason raised an eyebrow, âAre you pleading for him? Do you have some brotherly feelings for that kid from the Barlow family after years of being together?â
âNo,â Mason decisively denied, âMy brothers are Mick, and my sisters are Jasper and Jasmine.â
So, this son wants to bail out Lionel because of Veronicaâs relationship? Jason understood, âWhat about Veronica? Isnât she your sister?â
âShe used to be, but not anymore,â Mason said, his dark eyes flashing with a certain determination.
Jason looked at his son and said, âAlright, I will have someone bail Lionel out first. But you were able to find Veronica early this time because there was a tracking device in the necklace you gave her, right?
Does she know about this?â
Masonâs thin lips tightened and his face slightly changed, but he didnât say anything.
