âWilliam, is it true that something is happening at school?â
Jasper was interrupted by William before he could finish speaking. âWhatever it is, Iâll take care of it.
Donât worry.â
In an instant, Jasper understood that what she had guessed, he had actually guessed as well.
âDonât worry, everythingâs fine,â he said. âNo need to worry.â
âDonât worry, everythingâs fine,â he said. âNo need to worry.ââ
âOkay,â she nodded. But after William left, Jasper didnât go back to their dorm room. Instead, he headed towards the security office at the schoolâs entrance.
She wanted to ask the school security about what happened to Williamâs grandparents after they left.
But before she could even reach the school gate, someone grabbed her arm and stopped her in her tracks.
Jasper turned around and saw that it was Roger who had grabbed her.
âWhat are you doing?â she glared at him.
âWhat about you? What do you want to do?â he asked in return.
âWhat I want to do has nothing to do with you,â Jasper said.
âYou want to go to the security guard at the school gate and ask what happened after you left, donât you?â he said.
She widened her eyes, looking at him in disbelief. How did he guess that?!
âJasper, William is already in trouble now. Do you still plan to continue getting involved with him?â
Roger said.
She frowned, âWhat do you mean?â
âDonât you want to know what happened after you left?â Roger said, âWell, I can tell you!â
âYou know?â She was surprised.
âYes, I was also in the crowd at that time, but you didnât see me,â he replied.
Yes, he was watching her in the crowd, but her gaze was fixed on the two elderly people. After William arrived, her attention shifted solely to him.
At that moment, an uncomfortable feeling spread throughout her body.
Jasper paused, unable to recall if Roger was among the onlookers today.
âAfter you left, someone approached them and asked about their relationship with William. Others used their phones to discover that they were Lilyâs parents, Williamâs mother.â
âAlthough their current appearance differs greatly from the photos previously captured by the media, there is still a faint resemblance.â
âLater on, not long after, some reporters arrivedâ¦â
âWhat?â Jasper was surprised. âYou said reporters came too?â
âYes, reporters came to interview them. They seemed interested in their current situation, especially since the Atkinson family in Emerald City used to be a prestigious family and even had a marriage engagement with your Reed family,â Roger said.
Jasper pursed his lips. Originally, this matter was only limited to the school, but now that reporters had arrived, it meant that the situation would escalate.
At this point, they had to quickly get their family to suppress any news reports that could be detrimental to William.
At this point, Jasper quickly pulled out her phone, intending to call her father. However, Roger grabbed her hand and asked, âWhat? Are you trying to call your father to make him cover this up?â
He seemed to have guessed her intentions once again, leaving Jasper surprised that Roger could anticipate her thoughts.
