William then set up the violin and began playing.
Jasper blinked her eyes and was surprised to see William playing the violin!
Although she knew that he had learned to play the violin and had even performed for her several times before, he had gradually given up the piano and focused mainly on his studies, so he naturally practiced the violin less.
But now, his violin sounded really good, at least his interpretation of Tha?s was beautiful!
Jasper was immersed in the music, and when she met
William’s gaze, she felt as if his eyes contained the vastness of the stars and the sea.
As William played, many people passing by stopped to listen to his performance, and even many young girls looked at him with stars in their eyes, full of admiration.
Such a look, Jasper had often seen it on other girls’ faces since he was young.
After all, William was a guy who attracted girls easily, especially when he played music. His charm became even more obvious.
When a piece of music was finished, William returned the violin to the street performer, and then seemed to say thank you before returning to Jasper’s side.
“You haven’t practiced the violin for a long time, have you? You played so well and didn’t make any mistakes,” Jasper said in amazement to William.
“To be honest, I still practice occasionally. Besides, every time I practice, I only play a few pieces. This
Tha?s happens to be one of the pieces I often practice. Since you want to listen, I’ll play it for you,”
William said.
Jasper smiled sweetly, suddenly feeling like she was being pampered.
It seemed that every time she needed something, he would always try his best to satisfy her.

But William remained callin and when escorting to the dormitory building, he said to her “Okay yeu de Back row your room and reel fires”
“William, is it true that something is happening at school?”
Jasper was interrupted by William before he could finish speaking. “Whatever it is, I’ll take care of it.
Don’t worry.”
In an instant, Jasper understood that what she had guessed, he had actually guessed as well.
“Don’t worry, everything’s fine,” he said. “No need to worry.”
“Don’t worry, everything’s fine,” he said. “No need to worry.””
“Okay,” she nodded. But after William left, Jasper didn’t go back to their dorm room. Instead, he headed towards the security office at the school’s entrance.
She wanted to ask the school security about what happened to William’s grandparents after they left.
But before she could even reach the school gate, someone grabbed her arm and stopped her in her tracks.
Jasper turned around and saw that it was Roger who had grabbed her.
“What are you doing?” she glared at him.
“What about you? What do you want to do?” he asked in return.
“What I want to do has nothing to do with you,” Jasper said.
“You want to go to the security guard at the school gate and ask what happened after you left, don’t you?” he said.
She widened her eyes, looking at him in disbelief. How did he guess that?!
“Jasper, William is already in trouble now. Do you still plan to continue getting involved with him?”
Roger said.
She frowned, “What do you mean?”
“Don’t you want to know what happened after you left?” Roger said, “Well, I can tell you!”
“You know?” She was surprised.
“Yes, I was also in the crowd at that time, but you didn’t see me,” he replied.
Yes, he was watching her in the crowd, but her gaze was fixed on the two elderly people. After William arrived, her attention shifted solely to him.
At that moment, an uncomfortable feeling spread throughout her body.
Jasper paused, unable to recall if Roger was among the onlookers today.
“After you left, someone approached them and asked about their relationship with William. Others used their phones to discover that they were Lily’s parents, William’s mother.”
“Although their current appearance differs greatly from the photos previously captured by the media, there is still a faint resemblance.”
“Later on, not long after, some reporters arrived…”
“What?” Jasper was surprised. “You said reporters came too?”
“Yes, reporters came to interview them. They seemed interested in their current situation, especially since the Atkinson family in Emerald City used to be a prestigious family and even had a marriage engagement with your Reed family,” Roger said.
Jasper pursed his lips. Originally, this matter was only limited to the school, but now that reporters had arrived, it meant that the situation would escalate.
At this point, they had to quickly get their family to suppress any news reports that could be detrimental to William.
At this point, Jasper quickly pulled out her phone, intending to call her father. However, Roger grabbed her hand and asked,
“What? Are you trying to call your father to make him cover this up?”
He seemed to have guessed her intentions once again, leaving Jasper surprised that Roger could anticipate her thoughts.
“What do you mean? Even if I wanted my dad to cover this up, it’s my business!” she said.
He stared at her and asked, “Is this how much you want to protect William?”
“Yes, of course I will protect him!” she said without hesitation.
But her attitude seemed to provoke him, “He’s just the son of a criminal, and his mother harmed your mother in the past. Don’t you think it’s ridiculous to protect him?”
Jasper’s face darkened and he said seriously, “What’s so ridiculous about it? The mistakes his mother made are her own, and have nothing to do with him! To me, William is my most important friend!”
“Friend?” he sneered, “Do you trust him that much? Aren’t you afraid he’s approaching you with ulterior motives?”
“Don’t slander William again!” Jasper said displeasedly, “If you keep slandering him, I won’t be polite to you!”
Roger laughed even louder, “So this is what you call slander? If you’re so sure that he approached you with no other motive, then why did he do what he did back then?”
His voice suddenly stopped abruptly and he didn’t continue speaking.
“It’s nothing, I just wanted to say that he was really lucky back then. His mother almost destroyed your whole family, but she was temporarily taken care of by your family. He also found his biological father, and you can still trust him so easily. So, what kind of curse did he actually put on you?” he sneered.
“The interaction between people stems from sincerity and trust!” Jasper said. “I trust William because I know he genuinely cares about me. Roger, when you say things like that, is it because you’ve never truly cared about anyone?”
A dangerous glint flashed in his eyes as he tightened his grip on her wrist with all five fingers. “What makes you think that I have never treated anyone sincerely? You keep talking about how relationships between people stem from sincerity, but have you, Jasper, truly treated everyone with sincerity?”
She suddenly choked up, looking at his face, and found it hard to say what she wanted to say.
His face looks so much like what Lawrence would look like when he grows up, just like how she remembers it!
Two people looked at each other, and after a while, he finally let go of her hand. “Now William’s grandparents are in dire straits. Regardless of whether William acknowledges them or not, there may be a storm brewing. If you continue to stand by William’s side, then the Reed family may also be implicated.”
Jasper took a deep breath and said, “No matter if I get implicated or not, I will stand by William’s side!”
Daddy and Mommy have already said that the Reed family will be her support!
So, she wants to follow her heart and doesn’t want to easily do things that she will regret.
Roger looked deeply at Jasper and coldly spat out three words from his thin lips, “Do as you please.”
After saying these words, he turned around and left, leaving Jasper alone standing in the same spot, rubbing his wrist that was hurt by the other person’s grip.
What’s going on with Roger? He seems to be angry, especially with the indignant expression on his face, which makes Jasper feel like he owes Roger something.

Even just a moment ago, she had the mistaken feeling that Roger was Lawrence!
But then, she immediately told herself that she wasn’t!
After all, Roger is not Lawrence! The DNA has already been confirmed, there is nothing to doubt!
So why did he come to her and say these things today? Jasper didn’t understand.
Shaking her head, she cleared her mind of doubts and picked up her phone again, dialing her father’s number…
Meanwhile, Roger arrived at the school’s music room and rented one of the rooms.
As he sat in front of the piano, his fingers pressed heavily on the keys, producing a thunderous sound.
But he didn’t continue playing, instead staring fixedly at the black and white keys.
Jasper… She could trust William so easily, just because he said a few words that made her think he was speaking ill of
William!
But what about back then? She kept saying they were friends, but when the Abbott family had trouble, when his parents were scolded by Grace, and when she heard his mother tell him to please her, she didn’t even want to hear his explanation. She just assumed he was guilty and had ulterior motives for getting close to her!
Why couldn’t she trust him a little back then?!
A wave of pain hit Roger’s heart, causing his fingers, which had been resting on the piano keys, to clench tightly into fists.
-“Roger, when you say things like that, do you ever truly treat others with sincerity?”
Her voice kept ringing in her ears.
Does she know how ridiculous he finds this statement?
Back then, he was so sincere to her, treating her as a benefactor, a redemption, and everything!
