âYes, Jasper investigated him before, thinking he was Lawrence. But in the end, we compared his blood sample with Lawrenceâs DNA and found out they were not the same person,â said William.
âIs that so?â Jason said thoughtfully.
âRogerâs blood sample was obtained by Jasper himself, and I sent it for DNA testing without anyone else handling it in between,â said William.
âSo, youâre saying that if we really want to change the outcome, all we have to do is change the sample?â Jason asked.
âI havenât and I wonât,â William replied.
âYou must also be afraid of Lawrence being found, right? Jasper feels so guilty about Lawrence, no one knows what would happen if she were to see him again. How would she make it up to him? And what would happen to her feelings for him?â Jason said.
These words were like pointing out directly what William feared the most.
William naturally knew that lying in front of someone like Jason would be like lifting a rock and hitting himself in the foot.
âYes, Uncle Reed, Iâm afraid. But I also know that Lawrence is a knot in Jasperâs heart. Even though Iâm scared, I still hope that Lawrence is alive and can help untie this knot in Jasperâs heart,â William said.
Jason looked at William, as if scrutinizing the truth of his words. After a moment, he said, âSo why do you think this Roger went to your grandparents and even instigated them to come to Emerald City to find you?â
âI donât know,â William said. âI only met Roger after I got into Stanford University.â
âIâll have someone investigate him. Since your grandparentsâ situation is related to him, maybe the person behind the school forum post is also related to him,â Jason said.
William pondered for a moment.
If that post is really related to Roger, then what is Rogerâs purpose?
The DNA test results show that Roger is not Lawrence!
Or⦠is there some kind of relationship between Roger and Lawrence? Are they relatives of the Abbott family?
So, is that why his appearance has shades of Lawrence?
But for him, all of this is still just speculation.
These are all just speculations to him.
âI hope we donât tell Jasper about Rogerâs situation before we find out the results. Iâm afraid sheâll overthink it,â William said.
âOkay,â Jason agreed.
Meanwhile, in the living room of the Reed family, Mick was asking Jasper, âAre you really dating William? Was it just for show in front of the media?â
âWhy would I pretend in front of others? If itâs true, itâs true. If itâs not, itâs not,â Jasper replied.
âIt seems that for William, this incident could be a blessing in disguise, otherwise he might not have had his awakening so soon,â Mick said.
Jasper wrinkled his nose and glanced at his older brother. âI already have a boyfriend. When are you going to get a girlfriend?â
âI find it to be a troublesome matter. Iâm not really interested in women,â Mick said with a lack of enthusiasm, Jasper furrowed his brow. âDonât tell me youâre interested in men. Although, if thatâs the case⦠our parents should respect your choice. Mason, Jasmine, and I would also respect your partner. But same-
sex marriage is not yet allowed here, so you would have to register your marriage abroadâ¦â
âWhat are you thinking?â Mick raised his hand and gave his sister a slap. âIf I ever truly like a man, you can say that then.â
âWhat, do you like men?â A cold voice suddenly rang out in the Reed familyâs living room.
