âLet go of me!â Jasper said.
âAre you planning to go to the school gate?â Roger asked. âDo you think itâs useful for you to go now?
Will it make people criticize William less or help him completely resolve this matter?â
âThis is none of your business!â Jasper said, struggling hard to free his hand from the otherâs grip.
âDonât go over there!â Roger said. âEven if you go now, it wonât be of any use. It might even bring blame upon the Reed family. When youâre exposed in front of those cameras, you wonât just be Jasper, youâll be representing the Reed family.â
âSo what?â Jasper replied.
âEven so, you still want to go?â Roger asked.
âYes!â Jasper answered. âI represent the Reed family, and likewise, the Reed family is my support. I think my family would approve of my decision!â
The two stared at each other for a moment, and then Roger finally spoke up. âWell then⦠donât regret it!â
âI wonât regret it!â she declared.
Once, when Lawrence needed protection, she didnât act quickly enough to protect him. This has been a source of regret for her ever since, so she wonât let herself have any more regrets!
Roger let go of her hand, and Jasper didnât even look back as she rushed towards the school gate.
When some people noticed her, they immediately pointed their phone cameras at her. Some even called out her name and said to the live camera, âHey, everyone, guess who I just saw? Itâs Jasper, the princess of the Reed family! What is she doing here? Is it for William? We canât wait to find out what their relationship is like!â
The cameras, flashes, and all the nonsense made Jasper feel uncomfortable, but at this moment, what she cared about most was William standing in the crowd.
She walked up to William and asked, âAre you okay?â
William frowned and asked, âWhy did you come here?â He didnât want her to face this embarrassment.
âYou were trapped here, so of course I had to come,â Jasper replied.
On her way here, she had already contacted the school security office and knew that they were organizing security and would arrive soon.
âPlease go back quickly!â William urged her.
âDo you think I can still go back now?â Jasper asked.
At this point, they were completely surrounded and the crowd around them was still growing.
Their only hope now was for the school security to arrive quickly.
Sure enough, after a moment, the school security rushed over and pushed their way through the crowd, creating some space.
Jasper grabbed Williamâs hand and they were about to leave.
At that moment, someone in the crowd suddenly asked Jasper, âReed, there are rumors that you and her are not just childhood sweethearts, but also boyfriend and girlfriend. Is this true?â
Jasper paused in his tracks, while others held up their phones, many of which were live streaming.
Jasper pursed his lips, thinking about how to answer.
But her silence had already caused a chorus of voices around her, âTheyâre probably not boyfriend and girlfriend.â
