She walked out of the room and approached the front door of the house. Upon opening it, she was met with Jasperâs anxious.
face.
Standing beside Jasper was William.
As soon as Jasper saw Veronica, he urgently said to her, âVeronica, Mason is about to board the plane.
Come with me to the airport and stop him!â
âWhat?â Veronica was stunned. âHeâs going to the airport?â
âYes, Mason is going abroad. I donât know what heâs going to do there, but our parents have agreed to it. Veronica, what happened between you and Mason yesterday? Why would he suddenly want to leave the country?â Jasper asked.
Veronica was in shock, as if she couldnât snap out of Jasperâs news.
âVeronica!â Jasperâs voice grew louder. She checked the time and said, âI donât care what happened between you and Mason, but please go to the airport and stop him from leaving.â
As far as Jasper was concerned, only Veronica could stop Mason from leaving the country.
Jasper was only able to grab Veronicaâs hand, but she managed to break free.
âItâs his decision to go abroad, Iâ¦I wonât goâ¦â Veronica said, feeling even more dizzy and aching.
âBut what if Mason doesnât plan on coming back in the short term? My parents told me in private that Mason might be planning to go abroad for a while,â Jasper said.
So, he went abroad to avoid being caught as one of the planners of the kidnapping case and causing trouble? Thatâs why he left first? Veronica thought to herself.
âVeronica, are you really not going to stop my brother Mason?â Jasper asked.
âIâm not going,â Veronica replied. âJasper, Mason went abroad just to avoid legal trouble.â
âAvoid legal trouble?â Jasper asked, confused. âWhat legal trouble does he need to avoid?â
Veronica pursed her lips and remained silent.
âVeronica, if you know something, just say it!â Jasper pressed.
But Veronica Grace didnât speak up, perhaps because she didnât know how to say it.
âIf you really donât want to say it, then Iâll help Jasper find out. Itâs just a matter of a few days earlier or later,â said William confidently.
Veronicaâs body stiffened. She knew that the Barlow family behind William could easily find out.
âThe kidnapping case was initially planned by him and Lionel. They wanted to stage a fake kidnapping to make up with me,â
Veronica said with great difficulty. As the words came out of her mouth, her throat felt even more scorching.
Jasperâs eyes widened at the news. âHow is that possible? Did Mason say that?â he asked.
âNo, it was Lionel,â Veronica replied. âAnd at the time, Mason was also present.â
âNo, it was⦠said by Lionel,â Veronica said. âAnd Mason was also present at the time.â
âDid he explicitly say that he actually did it?â Jasper asked.
Veronica fell silent. She couldnât quite remember what he had said at the time. Her head was spinning.
