âMiss Barlow, what should we do with them? one of them naked Veronica recognized these two men as bodyguards who used to be with Mason. She had seen them before.
So⦠did Mason send bodyguards to secretly protect her? Veronica thought to herself, then said to the bodyguards, âCall the police and let them handle it.â
âWe⦠we were just chatting casually with Miss Barlow, what law did we break!â the leader of the thugs shouted.
They hadnât even touched Veronicaâs clothes, yet they were knocked down by these two men!
âYes, call the police, weâre the victims!â
âYou should compensate us for our medical expenses!â
The thugs shouted one after another.
Veronica took out her phone and said to them, âI recorded everything you said to me earlier. When we get to the police station, weâll find out who the real victim is.â
After speaking, Veronica immediately dialed the emergency number on her own phone.
âYou bitch!â The leader of the gang wanted to get up and hit Veronica.
But as soon as he showed his intention, he was forcefully pushed down to the ground and cried out in pain.
Soon, the police arrived and Veronica, along with two bodyguards and the gang members, were taken to the police station.
As Veronica and the two bodyguards were finishing their statements and preparing to leave the police station, they saw Mason rushing in.
Veronica understood that the two bodyguards had notified Mason.
âIâm fine. The bodyguards you sent were very useful. Those gang members didnât even get close to me before they were subdued.â Veronica spoke before Mason could say anything.
âYou⦠donât blame me?â Mason hesitated, as he had not told her in advance about the bodyguards following her.
He knew she didnât like being followed, as it made her feel like she was being watched.
But after what happened with Daniel, he couldnât just let her be like before.
He was afraid she would be in danger again, afraid he would How could he lose the treasure he had finally obtained?
If he lost her this time, he would go crazy.
âWhy would I blame you?â Veronica said, âIf you hadnât sent bodyguards to protect me, I might not have been able to escape so easily today. I might have been in danger.â
âBut donât you dislike being followed in the shadows?â he asked.
âI donât really like it, and Iâm not used to it, but compared to safety, these things are nothing. I can endure it,â Veronica said. After experiencing what happened with Daniel, she naturally wouldnât look at things the same way as before.
After all, if she had someone to protect her when she went to see Daniel, maybe she wouldnât have gone through those things, and Mason wouldnât have been hurt.
âLetâs go back,â Mason said, holding Veronicaâs hand and walking towards the police station.
