After all, Lawrenceâs situation is a big deal for the Reed family.
They have been searching for Lawrence for years and finally have a lead.
Another half hour passed, and Terrence, who worked as a personal secretary, walked into the office and handed Jason a file containing the investigation results.
Due to the angle of the surveillance camera, it was not possible to clearly see the personâs appearance. However, on that day, the person that Jasper saw did intentionally avoid him after being noticed and even left through a side door of the courthouse afterwards.
Due to the angle of the surveillance, it was impossible to clearly see the personâs appearance.
However, on that day, the person Jasper saw did deliberately avoid him and later left through a side door of the courthouse.
âBut the car was a fake license plate, and it deliberately avoided some of the road surveillance, so we couldnât track it,â
said Terrence.
Jason narrowed his eyes. âKeep investigating and see if there are any other ways to trace where they came from.â
âOkay,â Terrence replied.
After Terrence left the office, Grace asked, âDo you think this person could be Lawrence?â
âChances are not small,â Grace said.
âBut if itâs Lawrence, why would he deliberately avoid it? Is there any compelling reason?â Grace guessed.
After all, no one knew what had happened to Lawrence all those years ago when he disappeared.
âPerhaps there is a compelling reason, or maybeâ¦â Jason pursed his thin lips.
âMaybe what?â Grace asked.
âNot a big deal, I might have overthought it. Letâs wait until we confirm if this person is really Lawrence or not,â Jason said.
âGood point,â Grace nodded. âShould we tell Jasper when we get back today?â
âLetâs wait until weâre sure, so she doesnât get her hopes up for nothing,â Jason replied.
At this moment, Jason was even more worried that if this person really was Lawrence, it might not be for a good reason. Lawrence might hold a grudge against the Reed family or, more specifically, against Jasper.
If that were the case, as a father, Jason would do anything to protect his daughter and wouldnât let Lawrence harm Jasper in any way.
A few days later, Jasper received news from Jason that the person she saw in court was not Lawrence.
âIsnât it Lawrence?â Jasperâs face was full of disappointment.
âWell, itâs just that he bears some resemblance to Lawrence in appearance, but weâve investigated and itâs not him,â Jason said, handing his daughter a document.
There is a photo of a handsome young man in the information, who does bear some resemblance to Lawrence when he was 10 years old. However, the information clearly states that the person in the photo is not Lawrence.
So, she really made a mistake that day!
When Jasper told William about it, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. âWasnât it Lawrence?â
âWell, Dad showed me the information about that person. He looks somewhat similar to Lawrence, but itâs not him,â Jasper âYeah, quite disappointed,â Jasper admitted. âAlthough I didnât have high hopes to begin with, when Dad told me that the person wasnât Lawrence, I still felt a sense of loss.â
âPerhaps finding him may not necessarily be a good thing,â William said in a low voice. âIf he is really still alive, maybe he doesnât want to appear in front of us after all these years?â
âBut itâs also possible that there are other reasons, like amnesia,â Jasper tried to find a reason. âIsnât that common in movies and TV shows?â
âBut those are just movies and TV shows. In reality, itâs not so easy to have amnesia,â William said.
âRegardless, I still want to find Lawrence,â Jasper persisted. This matter had become an obsession for her over the years.
William knew that if they couldnât find Lawrence, this matter would become a permanent knot in her heart.
