But at this moment, Jasper couldnât let them leave just like that. She immediately grabbed the old couple and said, âWait, letâs clear things up. Who are you? And how do you know Iâm Jasonâs daughter?â
As the people around them slowly gathered, the security guard at the door also noticed the commotion and walked over, asking, âWhatâs going on?â
Jasper hesitated. In reality, nothing had happened. She just suspected that something was off with the old couple, but that suspicion wasnât enough to keep them here against their will.
âWeâre not criminals. Why wonât you let us go? Even if you are Jasonâs daughter, you canât do this!â the old lady said angrily.
The old man turned to the old lady and said, âLetâs just go.â
Jasper hesitated and didnât immediately let go of their hand.
The guard at the door knew Jasper and that she was the eldest princess of the Reed family. In an attempt to please her, they asked, âMiss Reed, do you need me to call the police?â
This suggestion made the old lady angry. She immediately retorted, âDo you really think weâre criminals? Let me tell you, we are Williamâs grandparents who came here to bring some fruit to our grandson!â
Upon hearing this, Jasper was stunned. They wereâ¦Williamâs grandparents?
Jasper had known William for many years, but she had never thought about his grandparents. After Williamâs mother, Lily, died, his grandparents didnât appear. William was adopted and spent some time with the Reed family.
At that moment, someone suddenly rushed over and stood in front of Jasper, saying to Harold and Camelia, âThatâs enough. I donât need you to come see me, and I definitely donât need any fruit from you.â
Jasper stared in surprise at William, who had suddenly appeared. When did William come back?
âWilliam, we just missed you so much, so weâ¦we came to see you,â Camelia explained hurriedly.
âBut I donât want to see you guys!â William said, grabbing Jasperâs hand and leading him not towards the school, but to a car parked nearby. The car quickly drove away, leaving a trail of dust behind.
Camelia couldnât help but cry, while Harold tried to comfort her.
As for the onlookers around, some took out their phones and recorded the scene before them. Among them were some students from Stanford University.
After getting into the car, Jasper looked at William who was driving silently. At this moment, she had too many questions in her mind.
After a long while, she finally spoke up, âDid you already know that they are your grandparents?â
He suddenly turned the steering wheel and stepped on the brake.
The car immediately made a sharp brake sound and stopped by the roadside.
William turned to look at Jasper and asked, âWhat if I said yes?â
His handsome face was filled with a complex expression, and his voice became hoarse as if he was trying to suppress something or was afraid of something.
