Veronica instinctively opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but no words came out.
At that moment, Mason turned around and left on his own.
Archer and Rosalind, who were originally stunned, immediately came to their senses and hurriedly chased after him.
However, when they reached downstairs, Mason had already gotten into his car and left in a cloud of dust.
The couple looked at each other in confusion and fear.
Masonâs words just now were like a complete rupture! If Mason really breaks ties with Veronica, then the Barlow family will be the ones who suffer the most!
After all, the Barlow family owes everything to Mason for the life they have today!
Not to mention, he has a kidnapping case on his hands involving his own son! Without the help of the Reed family, would his son be able to clear his name?
The couple immediately returned home and said to Veronica, âVeronica, how could you speak to Mason like that just now! You need to go back to the Reed family and apologize to Mason!â
âDo I have to apologize even if he initially planned the kidnapping with Lionel?â Veronica retorted.
âOf course!â Archer said fiercely. âEven if he was involved in the kidnapping plot, so what? Youâre fine, arenât you? Donât you dare fall out with him, or I wonât spare you!â
Rosalind also hurriedly spoke up, âVeronica, you donât want to see this family fall apart, do you? And Lionel, heâs only out on bail, the case hasnât been decided yet! If the Reed family doesnât help us, what if Lionel really gets sentenced? What are we going to do?â
They all urged Veronica to apologize to Mason.
Looking at her father and stepmother, Veronica felt exhausted and ridiculous.
Is this her family? They didnât think about how she was hurt, but only about not breaking ties with the Reed family and Mason.
At that moment, Lionel, who was previously nervous and cowering in the corner, suddenly rushed over and grabbed Veronica, pleading, âSis, you have to save me! You must make Mason save me, I donât want to go to jail!â
Veronica felt like she was being crushed by a heavy weight, making it hard for her to breathe.
When Jasper saw Mason return alone to the Reed family, he asked curiously, âMason, why did you come back alone?
Whereâs Sister Veronica?â
After all, Mason and Sister Veronica had been inseparable these past few days!
After hearing her words, Mason lifted his head and looked at her with a mixed expression of crying and smiling. âDo you believe me?â
âOf course I do,â Jasper said naturally.
Masonâs eyelashes trembled slightly. âDo you believe everything I say?â
âYes,â Jasper nodded without hesitation.
âWhy?â
âBecause youâre my Mason!â she replied.
It was that simple, just because he was her Mason! Mason lowered his eyes gently, but⦠he thought the person who trusted him the most in this world didnât believe him!
Even all the good he did was only because he was the Reed familyâs Mason!
If he didnât have this status in the Reed family, how would she treat him then?
