âSo, did you really conspire with Lionel in this kidnapping?â
Veronica asked in a bitter voice.
The word âconspireâ seemed to trigger something in him, and he looked at her in disbelief. âIs that what you think?â
âItâs not just what I think, itâs what you made me think!â Veronica retorted. âIf not, then how did you manage to find that warehouse before the police did, based on some clue?â
She didnât think about these things before, but now she realizes that there are such obvious loopholes.
How could it be so coincidental to find that place without prior knowledge?
Mason felt his blood slowly freezing, âSo, Veronica, you donât believe what Iâm saying, do you? You donât believe that I really know nothing about the kidnapping case, do you?â
Veronica tightly pursed her lips and stared at her, she wanted an explanation, a reasonable explanation!
She didnât want this kidnapping case to really be related to him, but now⦠âHow can I believe you?
Why do you want to deceive me like a fool? Why do you want to do such a terrifying thing? Even if you originally planned a fake kidnapping, it turned into a real one! If you really want to reconcile with me, why do you do this?
Do you know that I almostâ¦I almostâ¦â
Her voice choked up, releasing all the fear and terror she had endured during her kidnapping, as well as the fear and terror that had caused her to wake up from nightmares several times during these days.
At this moment, she felt so ridiculous. She had been so moved by him rushing to her side and saving her when she was in danger.
But little did he know that he was actually the one who started it all!
âSo, you really donât trust me?â he murmured, âVeronica, do you truly consider me as your closest person in your heart?â
If it really exists, then how could one not believe in it?
In his dark eyes, there seemed to be a layer of sadness. It felt like a sharp pain in her heart, but she quickly tried to ignore the feeling.
âWhat about you? If you really considered me your closest person, you wouldnât have been involved in this kidnapping case with Lionel,â Veronica said. âDo you think that, as the high and mighty Mason of the Reed family, you can easily manipulate peopleâs emotions like this? Making me feel terrible afterwards? Mason, how could you do this? Iâm not your pawn!â She spoke loudly.
His eyelashes trembled slightly. A pawn⦠he had never thought of her as a pawn!
âFor me, you have always been my closest person, Iâ¦â He raised his hand, wanting to touch her face, but she suddenly turned her head away.
âDonât touch me!â
As those three words escaped her lips, he suddenly stiffened, his hand that was reaching out to her froze beside her cheek, not moving any further.
And on that handsome face of his, it was as if a veil had been drawn over it, making it even harder to see clearly.
