“I don’t know, but the investigation results should be out in a little while,” said Jason. He had already arranged for someone to retrieve all the surveillance footage from the court during that time period.
So Grace stayed in Jason’s office, waiting together for the investigation results.
After all, Lawrence’s situation is a big deal for the Reed family.
They have been searching for Lawrence for years and finally have a lead.
Another half hour passed, and Terrence, who worked as a personal secretary, walked into the office and handed Jason a file containing the investigation results.
Due to the angle of the surveillance camera, it was not possible to clearly see the person’s appearance. However, on that day, the person that Jasper saw did intentionally avoid him after being noticed and even left through a side door of the courthouse afterwards.
Due to the angle of the surveillance, it was impossible to clearly see the person’s appearance.
However, on that day, the person Jasper saw did deliberately avoid him and later left through a side door of the courthouse.
“But the car was a fake license plate, and it deliberately avoided some of the road surveillance, so we couldn’t track it,”
said Terrence.
Jason narrowed his eyes. “Keep investigating and see if there are any other ways to trace where they came from.”
“Okay,” Terrence replied.
After Terrence left the office, Grace asked, “Do you think this person could be Lawrence?”
“Chances are not small,” Grace said.
“But if it’s Lawrence, why would he deliberately avoid it? Is there any compelling reason?” Grace guessed.
After all, no one knew what had happened to Lawrence all those years ago when he disappeared.
“Perhaps there is a compelling reason, or maybe…” Jason pursed his thin lips.
“Maybe what?” Grace asked.
“Not a big deal, I might have overthought it. Let’s wait until we confirm if this person is really Lawrence or not,” Jason said.
“Good point,” Grace nodded. “Should we tell Jasper when we get back today?”
“Let’s wait until we’re sure, so she doesn’t get her hopes up for nothing,” Jason replied.
At this moment, Jason was even more worried that if this person really was Lawrence, it might not be for a good reason. Lawrence might hold a grudge against the Reed family or, more specifically, against Jasper.
If that were the case, as a father, Jason would do anything to protect his daughter and wouldn’t let
Lawrence harm Jasper in any way.
A few days later, Jasper received news from Jason that the person she saw in court was not Lawrence.
“Isn’t it Lawrence?” Jasper’s face was full of disappointment.
“Well, it’s just that he bears some resemblance to Lawrence in appearance, but we’ve investigated and it’s not him,” Jason said, handing his daughter a document.
There is a photo of a handsome young man in the information, who does bear some resemblance to Lawrence when he was 10 years old. However, the information clearly states that the person in the photo is not Lawrence.
So, she really made a mistake that day!
When Jasper told William about it, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. “Wasn’t it Lawrence?”
“Well, Dad showed me the information about that person. He looks somewhat similar to Lawrence, but it’s not him,” Jasper
“Yeah, quite disappointed,” Jasper admitted. “Although I didn’t have high hopes to begin with, when
Dad told me that the person wasn’t Lawrence, I still felt a sense of loss.”
“Perhaps finding him may not necessarily be a good thing,” William said in a low voice. “If he is really still alive, maybe he doesn’t want to appear in front of us after all these years?”
“But it’s also possible that there are other reasons, like amnesia,” Jasper tried to find a reason. “Isn’t that common in movies and TV shows?”
“But those are just movies and TV shows. In reality, it’s not so easy to have amnesia,” William said.
“Regardless, I still want to find Lawrence,” Jasper persisted. This matter had become an obsession for her over the years.
William knew that if they couldn’t find Lawrence, this matter would become a permanent knot in her heart.
The next day, William went to see Jason alone. “Uncle Reed, is the person Jasper saw really not
Lawrence?” he asked directly.
“I don’t know,” was Jason’s answer.
“Not know?” William was surprised that this was not a definite yes or no answer.
“The other party deliberately avoided surveillance, and we found out that the car they were driving was also a fake license plate car. In areas without surveillance, they disappeared without a trace, so we couldn’t find anything,” explained Jason.
William remained silent, realizing that if even the Reed family was difficult to trace, it was unlikely that they would find any results.
“What about the information you gave to Jasper…”
“I just didn’t want her to keep thinking about this matter,” Jason didn’t hide anything.
Suddenly, William understood that the information was probably all fake.
So, was what Jasper saw really Lawrence?
“But I think Jasper is probably right,” Jason said directly, as if he could sense William’s suspicion.
William’s body trembled and his face turned pale. “Is it
Lawrence?” he asked.
“Yes, it’s very likely. I had someone compare the screenshots from the court surveillance with
Lawrence’s old photos.
Although the surveillance footage is blurry, the comparison results are real. The person has some facial features similar to
Lawrence’s, so it’s very likely him!” Jason explained.
However, it was precisely because the person was likely
Lawrence, but had not shown up and even had the ability to evade the Reed family’s pursuit, that made Jason more worried.
He was afraid that the current Lawrence was no longer the same Lawrence from years ago.
William lowered his head and remained silent.
Suddenly, Jason asked, “What will you do if that person is really Lawrence?”
William’s hand, hanging by his side, clenched tightly. If it really was Lawrence, and he appeared in front of Jasper, then…
The possibilities raced through her mind more than once.
Taking a deep breath, William lifted her head and said to
Jason, “I will find him.”
Taking a deep breath, William lifted his head and said to
Jason, “I will find him.”
Jason raised an eyebrow slightly and asked, “Aren’t you worried that Jasper will be too concerned about Lawrence when he’s found?” It seemed like he was implying something.
“I am worried,” William replied honestly, “but if we don’t find
Lawrence, Jasper will never be happy. So, I hope we can find
Lawrence. As for whether Jasper will be too concerned about
Lawrence after he’s found, that’s something we’ll deal with later.”
William wouldn’t let Lawrence easily occupy Jasper’s heart. He would try his best to make Jasper understand what love is and fall in love with him. Over the years, he had been working hard to become better, just so that one day in the future, she could love him and he could be more worthy of her.
As Jason looked into William’s eyes, a hint of approval flashed across his own.
William, this child, grew up watching Jasper. Although his biological mother was Lily, the person who framed Grace back then, this child has good talent and learns things quickly. More importantly, he really cares about Jasper.
After so many years, this care seems to be increasing with the passage of time.
“Well, since we both hope that Jasper can be happy, you also have to promise me that you won’t mention this matter to anyone, especially Jasper, until we really find Lawrence and investigate his situation,” Jason said.
“I understand,” William replied.
At this moment, he had a feeling that sooner or later,
Lawrence would appear in front of him and Jasper. And when that day comes, it’s likely that there will be a lot of trouble.
It’s been three days since school started, but Mason hasn’t shown up for class. Veronica felt a pang of sadness as she looked at the empty seat next to her.
Since the day she learned about hypnosis from Mason, she has been researching a lot about it, even consulting doctors about the possibility of recovery from hypnosis.
She had planned to talk to Mason about it after school started, but now she can’t even see him!
At that moment, Veronica suddenly heard a classmate say to her, “Veronica, why is Mason transferring? Are you also transferring with him?”
“Transferring?” Veronica was taken aback.
“Don’t you know?” the other person asked in surprise.
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Veronica’s face, as many people in the class still didn’t know what had happened between her and Mason.
“How did you find out that he’s transferring?” Veronica asked in response.
“I was passing by the director’s office earlier and overheard someone saying that Jasper came today to process his withdrawal from school…” Before the person could finish their sentence, Veronica abruptly stood up and ran out of the classroom.
Is Mason currently at school?
She wanted to find him, even though she knew that she was no longer the Veronica he cared about, but she couldn’t give
