“Is this post talking nonsense?” Meave muttered, but as she looked at it, the post seemed to be quite accurate.
If William’s mother really had some grievances with the Reed family, then in Meave’s opinion, Jasper should be wary of William.
After all, it’s better to be safe than sorry!
…On Jasper’s end, she couldn’t get through to William’s phone, so she decided to call her older brother Mick instead.
On Jasper’s end, she couldn’t get through to William’s phone, so she decided to call her older brother
Mick instead.
“Brother, can you help me temporarily shut down the Stanford University forum?” Jasper got straight to the point.
“Shut down your school’s forum?” Mick was confused. “What happened?”
“There’s a post on the forum that talks about our family and William’s mother, and it says that William approached me to seek revenge for his mother!” Jasper explained.
Originally, she just wanted her brother to take down the post, but she thought it would be safer to have him shut down.
the entire forum in case similar posts were made in the near future.
Mick was a bit surprised by this revelation. “William has enemies at Stanford University?” he asked.
“I’m not sure, but at least it doesn’t seem like it on the surface,”
Jasper said. “Anyway, can you help me hack the forum first? I’ll go find William and see if he knows what’s going on.”
“Okay then,” Mick said readily.
After ending the call, Jasper thought about the places William might go and began searching for them one by one.
She searched every place on campus that he might go to, but found nothing!
So she went to the school and checked the surveillance footage. She discovered that William had left the school half an hour ago!
That means he left the school after the post was made on the forum.
Jasper called his father’s secretary, Terrence, and asked him to check the traffic department’s surveillance footage of the roads William would have taken after leaving the school.
William left the school by car, which means he was going somewhere far away.
When she heard from Terrence that William’s car had stopped at a certain location, she was stunned.
It was a cemetery!
Moreover, she had heard her parents mention it once when she was a child – Lily was buried there!
Could it be that William had gone to his mother’s grave?
“Terrence, could you help me find out the specific number of William’s mother’s grave?” Jasper asked.
In the cemetery, each tomb has a number, which can be used to locate its position!
“I’ll check and let you know later,” said Terrence.
“Okay!” Jasper replied, and ran out of the school gate, hailed a taxi and immediately gave the address of the cemetery.
The taxi headed towards the cemetery.
Jasper was worried about William’s situation and wished the car could go faster.
When the car was halfway there, Terrence called and gave Jasper the grave number for Lily’s tomb.
“Thank you, Terrence!” Jasper said.
“Don’t mention it, but what’s going on between you and
William? Did something happen?” Terrence asked.
“Well, there was a little issue and I couldn’t reach William for a while, so I was worried. But now that I know where he is, I’ll find him soon and everything will be fine,” Jasper explained.
“Okay, be careful and just so you know, your father will find out about this today,” Terrence warned.
Obviously, this is telling her that he will still report this matter to her father.
“Okay, I understand,” Jasper said.
Anyway, she already had bodyguards arranged by her father by her side. Even if Terrence didn’t say anything, it’s likely that her bodyguards would report to her father later.
Moreover, she also wanted to figure out what this post was all about. After all, these were all old things, and the relevant news on the Internet had long been deleted. Only some of the older generation in Emerald City knew about the grudges involved.
So how did the poster know about it?
And what is the purpose of the other party posting this thread?
Is it aimed at William? Or is it aimed at the Barlow family?
Disistitaimed at the Reed family?
Athisismoment, Jasper’s mind is full of various speculations.
he can fifially stopped at the entrance of the cemetery. She ot but b6fitbecamin one swift motion and quickly ran into the emetery!/!
though shecheewithe number, finding it was more difficult an she had imaggined After a long search, Jasper finally anaged to located the general area with the help of a metery worker.r.
She ran all the way, stepping on each step, panting as she went up.
Finally, a familiar figure caught her eye.
That is William!
Jasper hurried forward, intending to call out to the other person, but he suddenly stopped when he saw the expression on his face.
From her perspective, she could only see his profile.
He stood there quietly, with his head slightly bowed and his gaze fixed on the tombstone. There was a kind of indescribable sadness and mockery on his face.
She had never seen this expression on his face before.
For a moment, she didn’t know how to change the subject or what to say.
Suddenly, she didn’t know how to change her words or what to say.
She just stared at him blankly, not knowing how much time had passed. It was as if he felt her gaze, slowly turning his body towards her.
Their eyes met.
“How did you come here?” His face had a gentle smile, as if they were meeting normally.
In the past, she always felt comfortable seeing him smile like this.
But today, there was a feeling of sadness.
“I… came to find you,” she said, her nose slightly red.
“I’ve never wanted to come here, never wanted to see this woman,” William murmured. “I hate the mistakes she’s made, I hate that her blood runs through my veins, I hate her even in death for never repenting. During the years I spent with her, she never loved me, I was probably just a tool she could use in the future.”
Jasper listened and walked over to William, reaching out to hold his hand.
It was as if this simple gesture could give him strength.
Because of his current appearance, he looks like a person who is exhausted to the extreme and could collapse at any moment!
“But even so, I think I should be grateful to her, no matter what her reasons were. At least she gave birth to me and gave me life,” William continued.
“William, you are you, and your mother is your mother. Regardless of what happened in the past generation, it has already passed and has nothing to do with us!” Jasper said.
“Is it really irrelevant?” he asked with a bitter smile as he looked at her.
“Well, it’s irrelevant!” she answered firmly.
“You’ve also read that post on the school forum, right?” he suddenly said. “I’m the son of a criminal, so there’s a good chance that I might commit a crime too! Even my friendship with you, getting close to you, might have a purpose – to avenge my mother!”
“I’ve read that post, so I know better than anyone how ridiculous it is!” Jasper said angrily. “Who says that a criminal’s child will definitely become a criminal? And who says that our friendship is just a way for you to seek revenge for your mother? If anyone dares to say that in front of me, I’ll definitely give them a piece of my mind!”
He looked at her with a steady gaze, “Do you really think I won’t?”
“I know you won’t, because you’re William, the same William I’ve known since childhood. I trust you, just like I trust myself!”
she said. “So, no matter who tries to slander you, I won’t believe it! Neither will my family!”
“Jasper…” he called out her name hoarsely, suddenly reaching out to embrace her, resting his head on her shoulder.
It’s as if, at this moment, only she can support his exhausted body.
Jasper raised her hand and hugged William back.
“I’m here,” she said softly, “William, no matter what happens, I will always be by your side. So, please don’t turn off your phone without saying anything again. Don’t make me worry!”
Upon hearing this, he held her tighter and after a while, he slowly uttered one word, “Okay.””
After coming down from the cemetery, Jasper said to William,
“I’m hungry.”
“Then let’s find a place to eat nearby,” William replied.
As this area was near the cemetery and quite remote, and it was already late, there were limited options for places to eat nearby. Eventually, the two of them found a small shop with a simple decoration.
“If you don’t want to eat here, we can drive further and find more shops,” William suggested.
“No need, this place is fine!” Jasper said.
After they sat down, they ordered their food.
William took out his phone, which he had turned off earlier, and turned it back on. He saw that he had missed several calls and messages.
Jasper alone had called him five times!
“You called five times?” he asked her.
