The Barlow familyâs business has become even more difficult.
Archer has repeatedly asked Veronica to reconcile with Mason, otherwise there wonât be anyone willing to do business with the Barlow family like before, which is almost like giving them money.
Veronica responded to her fatherâs request with a simple statement, âDad, Mason and I wonât reconcile.
Even if I try to reach out to him again, it wonât make any difference.â
âWhatâs wrong? Donât you want to drink?â She asked, with a hint of anxiety in her eyes.
âNo rush,â he replied, not really interested in the milk tea.
âIf you donât like this flavor, I can get you something else,â she became even more anxious, after all, her goal today was to get him to drink from the straw!
If he didnât drink it, how was she going to get the straw?
Her anxiety made him a little curious, âDo you really want me to drink the milk tea?â
As Archer watched Veronica refuse to take action, he had no choice but to go to the Reed family himself. However, he hit a snag when dealing with them, which made Archer even more embarrassed.
Veronicaâs situation at school was also becoming increasingly embarrassing.
People often made fun of her and even strangers would point and whisper as she walked through the halls.
One afternoon, while she was carrying her lunch tray to an empty table, someone stuck their foot out and tripped her.
Her food spilled all over the floor and the person who tripped her laughed and said, âI couldnât walk straight earlier, but now I see itâs the Reed familyâs Masonâs sister. Wait, thatâs not right.
Mason only has two sisters, no older ones. And your last name is He, not Reed!â
âYeah, thatâs right. Mason from the Reed family has already distanced himself from her. I heard from my mom that her dad has been asking around for help lately.â
âTheir family is like a bunch of leeches. If it werenât for Mason, would they even have any money?â
These mocking words kept pouring into Veronicaâs ears, and she knew very well that in the eyes of others, she was nothing more than a joke.
Despite being surrounded by so many people, no one came up to her.
Even her former classmates who used to flatter her now kept their distance.
Veronicaâs nose began to tingle, as there was once a figure who would always stand in front of her whenever she was in danger, but now that person was gone and would never return.
This bitter feeling of wanting to cry grew stronger and stronger.
She didnât want to cry because she was being bullied, but because the person she thought she would always rely on was no longer by her side.
Veronica stood up in a disheveled state, determined not to let herself cry.
Even if she wanted to cry, she didnât want to do it in front of these mocking people.
In the evening after school, Veronica left the campus and unexpectedly saw the Reed familyâs driver.
He stopped in front of her and said, âMiss He, the Madam is waiting for you in the car.â
Veronica turned her head and saw a black Maybach parked not far away.
