Is he being protected by the Reed family like before he was recognized by them? Or do they see him as a burden?
âMason, where is Veronica?â Jasper asked again, feeling that Mason was acting strangely.
âDonât ask me where she is from now on,â Mason said and walked away, leaving Jasper alone to ponder what Mason had just said.
What did Mason mean by that? Did he have a fight with Veronica?
Even if they had a fight, knowing Masonâs personality, he would at most sulk and wouldnât say something like that.
But even if they argue, given Masonâs personality, he would at most sulk and wouldnât say something like that.
This statement⦠itâs as if heâs trying to distance himself from Veronica.
Jasper quickly dialed Veronicaâs phone number. After a moment, he heard Veronicaâs tired voice on the other end, âJasper, whatâs up?â
âVeronica, did something happen between you and Mason?â Jasper asked urgently.
Veronica hesitated for a moment before finally saying, âNoâ¦
nothing.â She didnât tell Jasper that Mason was one of the people involved in the kidnapping case they went through.
Even she couldnât explain why she didnât speak up.
âBy the way, tonight I want to stay at my own house, so I wonât go back to the Reed family for now,â Veronica said.
She didnât know how to face Mason, but at least her father and stepmother were taking Lionel to the hospital right now, so she could have a moment of peace.
However, before going to the hospital, her father warned her, âNo matter what, you must apologize to Mason tomorrow and admit that you were wrong. If Mason doesnât forgive you, donât blame me for disowning you as my daughter!â
âI was wrong?â She bitterly laughed, âAs a kidnapped person, did I do something wrong?â
âYes, you were wrong!â said the father with great certainty. âAs you yourself said, he is the Mason of the Reed family, who are high and mighty. Without him, do you think you could live the life you have now?
If it werenât for your previous argument and cold war with him, would he have thought of kidnapping? And your brother got involved in it all because of your relationship!â
Archer kept blaming his daughter.
Veronica felt extremely exhausted and didnât even want to say much to her father!
A kidnapping had led to so many things, and her fatherâs words made her realize that she was just a tool to tie down Mason for her father and this family.
If Mason didnât forgive her, then her existence would become unnecessary!
And what about Mason? He treated her like a toy that he could manipulate at will. Whenever she didnât meet his expectations, he would manipulate her emotions and feelings to make her comply with his wishes.
It was exhausting, and she felt so tired!
That night, the Archer couple didnât come back, and Veronica was the only one at the Barlow familyâs house.
Veronica hardly slept all night, and only dozed off around 4 or 5 in the morning.
But she was awakened by the sound of the doorbell when she fell asleep again.
Have the father and stepmother returned? But they should be able to unlock the password lock on the gate themselves.
Veronica sat up groggily, lifted the blanket off herself, and got out of bed.
As soon as her feet touched the ground, she stumbled and almost fell.
At this moment, she felt weak all over, and her legs were particularly soft. Her throat felt familiarly dry and hot.
Is she⦠catching a cold? Veronica raised her hand and touched her forehead. Sure enough, there was a burning sensation on her forehead.
It seems like she really has a fever.
