To him, she was like his faith. At that time, he even felt that he could give everything for her.
As long as she liked a song, he would try his best to learn it. Even if his fingers were swollen and painful, it didn’t matter as long as she smiled and said, “It sounds good.” For him, that was the greatest happiness!
But she made him fall from the top of happiness to the depths of hell in an instant.
She easily let go of his hand, even ignoring his pleas for help!
If only she had believed him a little back then, and if only the Reed family hadn’t treated his family like garbage… maybe his parents would still be alive…
“Jasper, it seems that your choices vary for different people. And for you, I’m just a toy that has lost its value after the novelty has worn off, right?” His voice echoed softly in the piano room, but there was no one to answer…
… Although Jasper had already asked his father to help suppress the news related to William, and the
Barlow family was doing the same.
Although mainstream media has not reported on it, there have been many related reports online.
And they directly labeled William as “disliking the poor and favoring the rich”. There is a viewpoint online that William is now the eldest son of the Barlow family, while Harold and Camelia are now down and out, so William has no intention of acknowledging them!
Some even say that William truly has Lily’s blood running through his veins! After all, wasn’t it Lily who, in pursuit of wealth, caused the death of her own sister?
And now, William is someone who values wealth and is willing to return to the Barlow family, but refuses to acknowledge his own biological grandparents!
For a while, rumors about William in school became increasingly rampant, and Jasper couldn’t shake the feeling that an invisible hand was manipulating everything behind the scenes.
Some aspiring internet celebrities also took advantage of the situation to sneak into the school and engage in various forms of paparazzi behavior, hoping to gain more online traffic. Even though the school had reported to the police and caught several of these individuals, the behavior could not be completely eradicated.
Jasper suggested to William, “Why don’t you take a few days off to avoid this situation?”
William replied, “No need. If I really avoid it, some people will feel even more justified in what they’re saying!”
“Have you and my older brother found the person who posted on the forum last time?” Jasper asked.
“We found him. We’ve identified a person, but he’s overseas and he’s probably just a middleman.
There’s someone else behind the scenes,” said William.
“I don’t know why, but I have a feeling that this incident and what happened to your grandparents are somehow related,” Jasper said.
After all, the two incidents happened too close together, and both seemed to be aimed at destroying
William’s reputation.
“Regardless of whether they’re connected or not, I will find the person behind this,” William said firmly.
Later that night, Jasper was looking at sheet music in the dormitory when Meave rushed in and said,
“Jasper, I just got back and saw a lot of people blocking William at the school gate.”
“What?” Jasper was taken aback and asked urgently, “What’s going on?”
Meave gasped and said, “It seems that William’s grandparents had an accident and were hospitalized.
A bunch of small internet celebrities holding their phones and third-rate tabloid reporters blocked
William’s car from entering the school. When he got out of the car to enter the school, those people surrounded him and kept asking all sorts of nonsense questions.”
Upon hearing this, Jasper quickly changed his shoes and was about to rush out of the dormitory.
“Hey, are you… are you planning to go to the school gate?” Meave quickly stopped him.
“Of course I am!” Jasper said.
“If you go out there in the midst of all this chaos, it’s only going to get worse, especially with all those unscrupulous people doing live broadcasts. If you end up being broadcasted online, a lot of people might start blaming you foo,” Meave warned.
After all, all kinds of people exist on the internet these days.
“That’s okay, I don’t mind,” Jasper replied.
“Jasper, do you like William that much? You’re still going to look for him at a time like this? If William treats you badly in the future, I might not help you beat him up!” Meave exclaimed.
As Jasper ran towards the school gate, he couldn’t help but think about what Meave had said.
As Jasper ran towards the school gate, she couldn’t help but think about what Meave had said.
What exactly did she mean by liking William?
Jasper knew that going there might not make a difference and even make things worse, but she couldn’t just leave
William alone!
How deep were her feelings for him?
As she was about to reach the school gate, a figure suddenly appeared from a dark corner and grabbed her. A familiar voice whispered in her ear, “Where are you going?”
Jasper stopped in his tracks and caught sight of Roger’s clear and refined face!
“Let go of me!” Jasper said.
“Are you planning to go to the school gate?” Roger asked. “Do you think it’s useful for you to go now?
Will it make people criticize William less or help him completely resolve this matter?”
“This is none of your business!” Jasper said, struggling hard to free his hand from the other’s grip.
“Don’t go over there!” Roger said. “Even if you go now, it won’t be of any use. It might even bring blame upon the Reed family. When you’re exposed in front of those cameras, you won’t just be Jasper, you’ll be representing the Reed family.”
“So what?” Jasper replied.
“Even so, you still want to go?” Roger asked.
“Yes!” Jasper answered. “I represent the Reed family, and likewise, the Reed family is my support. I think my family would approve of my decision!”
The two stared at each other for a moment, and then Roger finally spoke up. “Well then… don’t regret it!”
“I won’t regret it!” she declared.
Once, when Lawrence needed protection, she didn’t act quickly enough to protect him. This has been a source of regret for her ever since, so she won’t let herself have any more regrets!
Roger let go of her hand, and Jasper didn’t even look back as she rushed towards the school gate.
When some people noticed her, they immediately pointed their phone cameras at her. Some even called out her name and said to the live camera, “Hey, everyone, guess who I just saw? It’s Jasper, the princess of the Reed family! What is she doing here? Is it for William? We can’t wait to find out what their relationship is like!”
The cameras, flashes, and all the nonsense made Jasper feel uncomfortable, but at this moment, what she cared about most was William standing in the crowd.
She walked up to William and asked, “Are you okay?”
William frowned and asked, “Why did you come here?” He didn’t want her to face this embarrassment.
“You were trapped here, so of course I had to come,” Jasper replied.
On her way here, she had already contacted the school security office and knew that they were organizing security and would arrive soon.
“Please go back quickly!” William urged her.
“Do you think I can still go back now?” Jasper asked.
At this point, they were completely surrounded and the crowd around them was still growing.
Their only hope now was for the school security to arrive quickly.
Sure enough, after a moment, the school security rushed over and pushed their way through the crowd, creating some space.
Jasper grabbed William’s hand and they were about to leave.
At that moment, someone in the crowd suddenly asked Jasper, “Reed, there are rumors that you and her are not just childhood sweethearts, but also boyfriend and girlfriend. Is this true?”
Jasper paused in his tracks, while others held up their phones, many of which were live streaming.
Jasper pursed his lips, thinking about how to answer.
But her silence had already caused a chorus of voices around her, “They’re probably not boyfriend and girlfriend.”
“Yeah, wasn’t William’s mother almost responsible for the
Reed family’s downfall? How could Jasper really be in love with William?”
“After all, William is the son of a criminal. Even if he’s now the young master of the Barlow family, he’ll carry that stigma for life!”
These voices kept ringing in Jasper’s ears, and she knew that
William was hearing them too.
Their hands were still clasped together, but as the voices grew louder, his grip began to loosen.
Jasper’s heart suddenly tightened. She had a feeling that if she let go of his hand now, she might never be able to hold it again.
Subconsciously, her fingers suddenly tightened around his hand, gripping his five fingers tightly.
Her action clearly caught William off guard, and he turned his head to look at Jasper with surprise.
But Jasper’s face remained directed towards the cameras, and she spoke with a clear voice, “Yes,
William and I are indeed in a relationship now!”
As soon as she said this, there was an uproar around them.
Even though security guards were trying to hold back the crowd, some people still managed to rush towards Jasper and
William.
“Miss Reed, is what you just said true? Are you really in a relationship? Do your parents know? Will they approve? Or is this a secret relationship between the two of you?”
“Do you not fear that William, as some online sources claim, is deliberately getting close to you to seek revenge for his mother?”
“Is there any reason why you are in a relationship with him?”
All sorts of questions were thrown at Jasper.
However, Jasper simply held onto William’s hand tightly and said, “I am in a relationship with William because I like him. My parents also approve of our relationship. I like William for who he is, regardless of whose child he is. I like him for him, not for anything else.”
