“If you called me here today just to talk about this matter, then I can tell you clearly that my decision will not change,” Mason said coldly.
Snap! Snap!
Veronica cried until tears fell from her cheeks and onto her hands, only then did she suddenly realize that she was crying!
It was because his voice was so resolute, as if there was no room for any hesitation, that all the arguments she had thought of for days were stuck in her throat, and she seemed unable to say a word.

He looked at her tearful face with some hesitation, and his heart was once again stabbed with pain.
Stop hurting! Since they were going to break up completely, then stop hurting! He kept telling himself in his heart.
But her tears were still flowing, and his heart was still hurting.
Mason turned his head away, trying hard not to look at her tears. “Even if you cry, it won’t change the fact that we’re breaking up.”
“I…I didn’t know that we could break up so quickly. I thought this time, we could be together for a long time, but…it turns out that being with me makes you feel so tired…” She choked, “Do you know? When
I heard that you were hypnotized, I was very panicked and afraid that everything between us would be meaningless to you. Later…it really became meaningless.”
She laughed at herself, but her tears fell even more fiercely. “I have regretted it all these years, regretted misunderstanding you in the end and making you choose hypnosis. So when you said you were willing to ‘try’ with me, I was so happy and grateful, feeling that God had given me another chance to be with the person I love the most.”
She said, step by step, approaching him, “Mason, I…I really thank God for bringing you to my side, for giving me the opportunity to protect you, for letting me accompany you for so many years. It’s just that…you loved me too early, and I loved you too late. You said you were tired and didn’t want to continue dating me, then…what about your feelings for me? Do you really not love me anymore?”
She wanted to know how much he still loved her at this moment.
Raising her hand, she wanted to touch his face, but at the moment her fingers touched his cheek, he suddenly stood up and took two steps back.
It was as if he was rejecting her touch.
Veronica felt her last bit of hope shatter.
“So, you really don’t love me anymore, do you?” Despite her heart sinking, she still wanted to hear the answer from his mouth.
He finally turned his face, his expressionless face looking at her with cold eyes, as if he was empty of everything.
It was as if she didn’t exist in his eyes.
“I don’t love you anymore,” Mason heard himself say. Yes, as long as he had enough time, as long as he left Emerald City and stayed away from her for a while, he could adjust his state of mind before they met again.
He could not love her, treat her as a stranger, he could do it.
“If you really don’t love me, then why is this pendant still hanging on your phone?” Veronica suddenly took Mason’s phone out of his pocket.
When he answered the phone in the car earlier, she saw the cat paw couple pendant they had chosen together still hanging on his phone.
And now, his phone was in her hand, and the cat paw pendant was shaking, as if proving something.
“I just forgot to take it off,” Mason said, taking his phone back from her hand and taking the cat paw pendant off his phone. “Now, can you believe what I said earlier?”
The cat paw pendant fell from his hand to the floor.
Veronica stared at the cat paw pendant, her body trembling, her face turning pale, feeling like she was falling into an endless abyss.
How happy she was when she bought this pendant, and now, she was probably as desperate as she could be.
It was so painful to be abandoned by him.
Not only did she abandon the pendant, but she also abandoned him!
This… is the second time he has abandoned her, but she doesn’t want to cry so embarrassingly in front of him. She doesn’t want the last impression he has of her to be her ugly crying face.
Even if they really can’t salvage the relationship and have to break up, she still hopes they can keep the good parts of their relationship.
Veronica took a deep breath, wiped away her tears, and forced a smile. “Okay, I understand. I promise you, we’ll break up!”
Although it sounded calm, it took almost all her strength to say
1.
A glimmer of light flashed through his cold and indifferent eyes.
“Just… one last request. This time, can we break up peacefully? I won’t bother you again in the future, so can you please not hypnotize me again?” Her voice trembled.
She didn’t want to leave nothing behind after the breakup. She didn’t want to be just a symbol in his memory.

At least she hoped that in his heart, there could be a small place for their relationship. Even if it was small, it didn’t matter. At
3/3 least it represented that they had once existed, and that this relationship could continue to exist in his emotions.
Mason remained silent and didn’t answer her.
The air seemed to be filled with a suffocating oppression.
Time passed by second by second, but Mason still didn’t answer Veronica.
And her last bit of hope was slowly shattering.
Veronica forced out, “Um… what I said earlier was just a hope. If… if you don’t want to, it’s okay.”
After all, he had the right to make the decision, and she didn’t have the right to interfere.
“It’s okay?” Mason felt a pang in his heart as he watched Veronica bow her head, restraining himself from reaching out.
Wasn’t this the situation he wanted? She had already accepted the breakup proposal.
Mason silently left Veronica’s apartment.
In the silent apartment, only Veronica remained. After a long time, the room was filled with the sound of sobbing, which grew louder and louder until it turned into wailing!
Veronica cried almost all night. Throughout the night, she tightly held the cat pendant that originally belonged to Mason.
Although it was something he had discarded, she couldn’t bear to throw it away.
This pair of pendants seemed to commemorate the time they spent together. If she threw them away, it would seem like there was nothing left to remember.
In the following days, she only appeared at school during class, and many students looked at her with various expressions because she was Mason’s girlfriend.
But those people didn’t know that she and Mason had already broken up.
Her friend Shirley Woolery looked incredulous when she found out about the breakup. “Veronica, you…
you broke up?”
“Yeah,” Veronica replied.
“But…that was so fast. You guys weren’t together for very long, were you?” Shirley said.
“Yeah, it was too fast. You can love someone and then quickly stop loving them,” Veronica murmured.
Perhaps Mason, who had a relationship with her for over a decade, wouldn’t just stop loving her like that.
But the current Mason is different, he’s not the same Mason who had those years of emotional connection with her.
His feelings for her are probably just based on the few months since they met again after he returned to the country, so it’s easy for him to fall out of love.
After all, how deep can feelings be in just a few months?
And as for her… her feelings for him have been going on for over a decade… Veronica smiled bitterly.
From the beginning, their relationship and feelings for each other were unequal.
“So, what about you now…” Shirley didn’t know how to comfor her friend, especially since her friend’s relationship with Mason had caused a stir in school and everyone knew about it.
But now, her friend had broken up with Mason again. If the other students found out, who knows what rumors would spread.
“I’m fine,” Veronica tried to cheer up in front of her friend, forcing a smile. “It’s just a breakup, everyone goes through a f breakups in life, do we have to be devastated every time?”
“If you need someone to accompany you, just let me know. I’m always free to hang out with you, go shopping and eat good food together!” Shirley said.
“Okay,” Veronica agreed, looking at the time. “I have to go now.”
“Where are you going?” Shirley asked.
“To visit someone in the hospital,” Veronica said.
Daniel, a new employee in the company, wouldn’t have attracted attention from the higher-ups even if he was hospitalized due to an injury. But somehow, the leaders found out about Daniel’s injury and his intention to sue Mason, and they also knew that she was Daniel’s ex-girlfriend.
So the company leaders asked her to go and persuade Daniel to drop the lawsuit, and if he was willing to focus on recovering and drop the lawsuit, the company would keep his position and let him continue working after he recovered.
If the lawsuit is not withdrawn, the company will naturally not allow him to continue working here. Of course, the leader said this in a rather subtle way. When saying this, the leader made it clear to
Veronica that it is necessary to make Daniel withdraw the lawsuit.
“If Daniel really sues, even if he loses in the end, he is still an employee of our company. This means that the company has offended the Reed family. You must know what kind of existence the Reed family is in Emerald City.” The leader spoke frankly.
The reason why the leader sent Veronica first was nothing more than to let her persuade Daniel and find out his attitude. If Veronica can persuade him, it would be great. If not, then the company’s top management will directly go to Daniel.
Veronica accepted the task and had no intention of refusing.
Firstly, she wanted to see how Daniel’s injuries were, because the severity of his injuries would directly affect the responsibility that Mason might have to bear.
Secondly, if she could really persuade Daniel to withdraw the lawsuit, it would be the best outcome.
However, based on her current understanding of Daniel, this is probably difficult to achieve.
When Veronica arrived at the hospital, Daniel was resting in the ward. His hair was shaved off in the area where he was injured, and he was wearing a hospital gown. Other than that, he looked normal and his complexion was good.
When Daniel saw her, he didn’t seem too surprised, but rather looked like he had expected her to come.
“What, are you here to plead for Mason? Asking me not to sue him?” Daniel sneered at Veronica.
“I’m here because the company’s leader asked me to come. The leader hopes that you can withdraw the lawsuit,” Veronica said.
“Hmph, it’s good to have money and power! Mason was clearly in the wrong, but now I have to withdraw the lawsuit,” Daniel said disdainfully.
“You were originally in the wrong. If you hadn’t taken me to the hospital against my will, nothing would have happened,” Veronica said. “His behavior was stimulated by your behavior. If you don’t withdraw the lawsuit, then I will also exercise my right and hand over all the call records of when you forced me to go to the hospital to the police.”
