This time, Roger admitted quite readily, âOf course I know they are your grandparents. Is there a law that says I canât see them?â
âWhy did you go all the way to Deer Capital to see them? Deer Capital is not close to Emerald City.â
âJust curious,â Roger answered. âI read the post about you on the school forum and became curious about the incident where your mother sent Mrs. Reed to jail. I found out that Lilyâs parents should still be alive, so I searched for clues about them online. The internet is very developed now, and I found a post saying that Lilyâs parents, who were once popular stars, were seen picking up trash on the street in Deer Capital. So I went to Deer Capital and happened to run into them.â
âSo youâre really idle, going all the way to Deer Capital just to meet two scavengers?â William said.
âI guess itâs because I find it interesting,â Roger replied. âTo ordinary people, you and Jasper should be mortal enemies, but you two have been childhood sweethearts and now youâre even boyfriend and girlfriend. So I became curious about your motherâs family, who were also involved in helping the tyrant and causing Mrs. Reed to be imprisoned.â
âInteresting? Do you think this is a very interesting thing?â Williamâs voice was cold. For him, this was the source of his pain, but in the eyes of the person in front of him, it became something amusing.
âIsnât it?â Roger asked back. âWith life experiences like yours, full of ups and downs, there are probably not many people like you in this world. You seem to have been lucky all along, even though your mother is a criminal, you were able to find your biological father, became the heir of the Barlow family, and have such a close relationship with the Reed family, who should have been your enemies. I just donât know how long your luck can last.â
âNo matter what youâre planning, I can tell you that you wonât get what you want in the end!â William stepped forward and grabbed the other personâs collar.
âIs that so? Well, Iâm looking forward to it,â Roger lazily replied.
The tension between the two was palpable.
Just then, Jasperâs voice rang out, âWhat are you guys doing?â
The two turned their heads and saw Jasper walking towards them. William let go and said, âNothing, just chatting casually.â
Jasper looked at the two of them suspiciously, then turned to William and said, âThe gifts have been sorted out and itâs getting late. Letâs go back.â
âOkay,â William responded.
Just as the two were about to turn and leave, Roger suddenly spoke up from behind them, âWilliam, arenât you planning to go. to the hospital to see your grandfather-in-law? His illness is not light, and you might not be able to see him again in the future.â
William paused in his steps and coldly uttered, âTo me, heâs just Harold.â
