Chapter 3475
After being forcefully kissed by Mason, Veronica was worried
about how to face him since they were in the same class and
sat next to each other.
But the next day, Mason didn’t come to school, which made
Veronica feel relieved.
He didn’t come to school, which is fine, at least it’s not too
awkward!
She never thought that he had such feelings for her.
Love?
No, she didn’t think it was love. It was more like
possessiveness, like a child who doesn’t want to share their toys with other kids.
But now, she has become this “toy”.
In the following days, Mason didn’t come to school, and even
the teachers asked Veronica for the reason.
Veronica could only answer that she didn’t know.
However, she had a vague feeling that his absence from
school might be related to what happened in the private room
been to school for several days. Archer and Rosalind kept
asking Veronica for the reason, but Veronica still answered the
same – she didn’t know.
Archer and Rosalind were also helpless about this. They
couldn’t force Veronica to tell them what happened.
Lionel, Veronica’s younger brother, sneaked into her room one
evening just after she finished her homework.
“Sis!” Lionel said, “Mason hasn’t been to school for several days now. Aren’t you worried?”
Veronica pursed her lips and said, “What do I have to worry about? The Reed family can hire renowned teachers from top
universities to teach him. Even if he doesn’t come to school for
a year, his exam results won’t suffer.”
Lionel raised his eyebrows and asked, “What happened
between you and Mason?”
“It’s nothing, just the same as before,” said Veronica.
Lionel insisted, “There must be something. Did you have a fight with Mason? Did he do something to make you angry?”
Veronica’s movements stiffened for a moment.
Angry things… For a moment, she didn’t know what exactly made her angry, whether it was Mason treating her and
Daniel’s
relationship as a bargaining chip, or him forcibly kissing her, completely shattering the sibling-like bond between them.
“Don’t guess randomly, it’s none of those!” Veronica denied, not wanting to tell Lionel the real reason.
Her relationship with this half-brother from the same father is
not very good.
When they were young, they were like water and fire, but later
on, Mason returned to her roots, which elevated her status in
the Barlow family.
And this half-brother, who shares the same father, but has
a different mother, is quite clever. Plus, their father and stepmother said some things to him, so later on, Lionel would flatter her for no reason, and every time he ate something delicious, he would also try to please her by giving her a portion. As a result, over time, there was no conflict between
the two of them.
Veronica finds some things about her own brother that she doesn’t quite agree with.
The stepmother and father both dote on this younger brother, especially after the Barlow family became associated with the Reed family and their living conditions improved. This naturally attracted some people who wanted to climb
the social ladder. Meanwhile, Lionel associates with some
delinquent students and even some troublemakers in society.
Those people were trying to flatter Lionel because of his connection to the Reed family. Unfortunately, his father and stepmother were proud of it, so even when she tried to remind
them, it had no effect.
