She sat up abruptly and saw Mick standing right in front of the bed.
What made her sweat even more was that her own parents were standing next to her big brother.
Jasper didn’t know how to describe her feelings at the moment, it was probably…mixed.
“Mom and Dad, why did you come here so early?” Jasper chuckled nervously and asked.
“It’s late, I was waiting for you to have breakfast,” said Jason. “I couldn’t find you in your room, and then
I found out that William came yesterday.”
As he spoke, Jason snorted and glared at his daughter and
William, who was sitting next to her with a blanket over him, in a bad mood.
Although William had been under his care since he was young, and he had high hopes for both children, it didn’t mean he was happy to see this situation.
At this moment, Jason felt like the big cabbage he had worked so hard to grow was being eaten by someone else’s pig before it was ready to be harvested.
Jasper awkwardly explained, “It’s because William came here too late yesterday, and he wasn’t feeling well, so I let him in, gave him some food, and let him sleep in the guest room for the night.”
“And how come you’re sleeping in the guest room?” Jason asked irritably.
“I… I just couldn’t sleep in the middle of the night, so I came to check on William,” Jasper licked her dry lips and said.
“Check on him?” Jason raised an eyebrow. “And then you up sleeping together?”
ended
“We didn’t do anything! We were both wearing our pajamas!” Jasper defended herself, but she still felt a bit guilty as she spoke.
After all, she hadn’t exactly done nothing. She had kissed him last night.
After all, she didn’t really do nothing. Last night, she even irised him.
As soon as she spoke, Mick, who had been silently watching from the sidelines, burst out laughing.
Suddenly, everyone in the room turned their gaze towards Mick.
Mick said, “Sorry, just pretend I don’t exist.”
Jason looked at his daughter with annoyance and asked, “What else do you want to happen?”
“I…I didn’t want anything,” Jasper replied, shrinking her neck.
“Alright, let the kids wash up and have breakfast quickly. Otherwise, breakfast will get cold,” Grace finally spoke up.
As a doting husband, Jason naturally followed his wife’s lead when she spoke. He turned to William and Jasper on the bed and said, “Okay, you two wash up and come eat breakfast.”
Jasper was relieved and quickly nodded her head, walking off the bed and heading towards the bathroom.
“Do you plan on getting ready here? Go back to your own room!” Jason said.
Jasper obediently followed behind his parents and older brother, and left the room. Before leaving, he gave William a reassuring look.
Back in his room, Jasper quickly freshened up and changed his clothes before heading downstairs.
William was already at the dining table.
In addition to the people who were in the guest room this morning, Mason was also present during breakfast.
“I heard you guys shared a bed?” Mason’s first words to Jasper were this.
Jasper stumbled and almost slipped, his head almost hitting the table. “Um…it’s just like sleeping together like we did when we were kids,” he explained with a dry laugh.
After all, sharing a bed together…sounds a lot more suggestive!
Mason usually isn’t interested in gossip like this, but now he’s actively gossiping. It’s a bit surprising!
“You’re not a child anymore, you’re an 18-year-old young Jason said. “You two can date if you want, but you can’t do this anymore!”
lady,”
Although he was talking to both William and Jasper, his gaze was only on William.
“I understand,” William replied, “I won’t do it again in the future!”
Jasper also nodded along, behaving like a well-behaved student.
Grace, who was in a better mood than Jason, whose daughter was taken away by another man, smiled at William. “William, if Jasper does anything wrong, please be patient with him.”
“Jasper is great, she’s always the one who’s patient with me,”
Jasper listened and proudly lifted her chin. “Mom, did you hear that?”
“You’re still…” Grace chuckled.
After finishing breakfast, Jason turned to William and said, “Come with me to the study, I have something to tell you.”
William agreed and stood up.
Jasper became nervous, afraid that her father would scold William and say something inappropriate.
She quickly said, “Dad, don’t blame William. Yesterday, I insisted on him sleeping on the same bed with me. He didn’t want to, but I forced him!”
As soon as she said this, everyone’s attention immediately focused on her.
Jason’s forehead twitched. “What nonsense are you talking about?”
“I’m telling the truth, Dad. Don’t scold him. If you want to scold someone, scold me instead!”
Jason rubbed his forehead to prevent himself from getting so angry that he would start spitting blood.
“When did I say I was going to scold him?”
“Then…”
“I just took him to the study, it doesn’t mean I’m going to discipline him,” Jason said, then glared at his daughter. “Also, you better explain to me later how you ‘forced’ him!”
Jasper’s scalp tingled with anxiety. If she had known it would turn out like this, she wouldn’t have spoken out of turn. Now she was in trouble, and she had no idea how to “explain” it to her dad later!
…Jason and William arrived in the study, and Jason looked at him. “What happened yesterday? How did you end up here in the middle of the night?”
“I went to the hospital last night to see Harold and Camelia, and then I ended up here without realizing it…” William explained, recounting the events of the previous night to Jason.
After all, he had no reason to hide anything from Jason, and with Jason’s shrewdness, he wouldn’t be able to hide anything even if he wanted to.
After listening, Jason spoke up, “Since Jasper likes you, I won’t stand in the way of anything. However, you’re still in school, so I hope you can be careful. If there are things that shouldn’t happen, then don’t let them happen.”
William naturally understood Jason’s hint and immediately said, “I won’t. I want Jasper to finish learning what she wants to learn at Stanford University more than anyone else.”
“Good.” Jason said, then picked up a document from the desk and handed it to William. “Take a look at this.”
William took the document and looked at it. It was an investigation report about Roger.
“Uncle Reed, you investigated Roger?” he asked.
“Since this person is suspicious, I definitely need to investigate,” said Jason.
William flipped through the pages and found childhood photos of Roger.
William knew this wasn’t easy. He had investigated Roger before and couldn’t find much information about his childhood, let alone photos.
As he flipped through the pages, he found a photo of Roger at the age of 10 and realized that there was no resemblance to the current Roger.
Normally, a 10-year-old child would have some resemblance to their future facial features.
But when he flipped to the photo of 12-year-old Roger, he suddenly paused. Was this… Lawrence? Because he looked too similar to the Lawrence he remembered at 10 years old.
If you only look at this photo, he would think that Roger is
Lawrence.
“How could this be? It doesn’t make sense that there’s such a big difference in appearance between a
10-year-old and a 12-year-old!” William said. “Could it be that Roger had plastic surgery for some reason?”
“No, he hasn’t had plastic surgery,” said Jason.
And when William reached the end of the document, he was suddenly shocked, “The document says that Roger has no blood relation with the Elliott family couple?! Then who is he?!”
Jason smiled faintly and asked, “Who do you think he is? Haven’t you guessed?”
William hesitated and guessed… He definitely had some guesses in his mind, but they had already been proven impossible!
“Roger cannot be Lawrence’s, DNA testing has already proven it!” said William.
“But when Roger was 13 years old, he had an illness and underwent a bone marrow transplant. There is evidence that suggests that a very small percentage of patients who undergo bone marrow transplants have changes in their DNA,” Jason said. “So, Roger should be Lawrence. After the Elliott family’s real child died, they adopted Lawrence. It just so happened that the original Roger, due to his health, hardly ever left the house and never went to school. After adopting Roger, all of the Elliott family’s servants and household teachers were replaced, and Lawrence lived under the name of Roger.”
Just then, there was a sudden commotion outside the study door, followed by Mick’s shout, “Jasper, where are you going?!”
William was startled and rushed to the door, opening the study door.
Outside the door, Mick was running towards the stairs. Another slender figure had already run to the bottom of the stairs.
“Jasper!” William shouted, but in just two or three seconds, Jasper had already run out of his sight.
William and Mick followed and chased after her. When they reached the front door, they saw the driver getting out of the car, and Jasper had already driven away from them. It was too late for them to catch up.
The driver who had just gotten out of the car was also confused, looking at the young master who was still standing in place.
He was originally here to pick up the young master to go to school, but now Jasper had taken the car and left!
William asked Mick, who was standing next to him, “What’s going on? How did Jasper drive away?”
Mick looked embarrassed and said, “…She overheard the conversation between you and my dad in the study earlier.”

“Do you know how much she
