Lawrence said lightly.
“Do you really think so?” William asked.
Lawrence remained silent, only looking at Jasper, who was being held by William. “I only ask you the last question. Will your answer to the choice I gave you change?”
Jasper was stunned, then understood what he meant.
To marry him and leave Emerald City, in exchange for giving up his hatred.
But her proposal was rejected.
“No, it won’t change. I won’t leave William, nor will I leave my family,” Jasper said, looking directly at
Lawrence.
“Well, I understand,” Lawrence sneered, but in his laughter, there was a self-mockery, as if he was mocking himself for not giving up hope and still fantasizing that he might hear a different answer from her at this point.
In the end, it only made himself more embarrassed.
“William, if you really don’t want me to hurt Jasper, then you protect her and don’t give me the chance to hurt her!” Lawrence said before leaving on his own.
The student who had helped William open the door earlier was now standing awkwardly in place, glancing at Lawrence’s departing figure and then at Jasper and William.
Um…did he just hear something he shouldn’t have?
Jasper and William left the chemistry lab, and William looked at the silent Jasper and asked, “What kind of choice did Lawrence mention just now? What did you and he talk about in the lab?”
Although he could see their actions in the lab through the glass door, he couldn’t hear what they were saying.
Jasper pursed her dry lips and said, “I asked him if he instigated Daniel. He didn’t admit it directly, but it was an indirect admission. However, as he said, there is no evidence to point to him. Unless he confesses, he won’t take any responsibility.”
“You must be feeling very upset,” William said.
“Mm,” Jasper replied with a heavy nasal tone, already feeling a bit choked up.
“After this incident, your family will be more careful about safety in the future. If he wants to make another move, it won’t be so easy,” William said.
“I know,” Jasper said. “After this incident, the Reed family has done everything they should do. Even if
Lawrence is not arrested by the police, he is now an enemy of the Reed family.”
“So what was the choice he mentioned?” William asked.
“He said that if he wants to let go of his hatred, then I should marry him and leave Emerald City with him,” Jasper said, not hiding anything.
William was surprised, but then his eyes showed understanding. Indeed, Lawrence’s thoughts towards
Jasper…
“You didn’t agree, did you?” he asked.
“No, how could I agree when the person I love is not him!” Jasper said, wrapping her arms around
William’s waist and burying her head in his embrace.
After today, she understood that there was no possibility of going back to the way things were with
Lawrence.
Enemies…she never thought that one day she would become an enemy with Lawrence.
The image of playing the piano together in the past can only be seen in dreams in the future.
“William…” Jasper murmured, “Lawrence and I are no longer friends.”
In his low and hoarse voice, there was a strong sense of regret and sadness.
“No matter what happens in the future, I will be by your side,” William said, raising his hand to gently stroke Jasper’s head.
His hand was large and warm, making her feel very secure.
It seemed that since they met, no matter what bad things happened, he would unconditionally stand by her side, making her feel at ease.
“Really?” Jasper asked, looking up.
“When have I ever lied to you?” William asked in return.
Jasper breathed a long sigh of relief. “Fortunately, you are by my side.”
“I should say, fortunately, you fell in love with me,” William said.
Being able to receive her love was his greatest fortune. If she hadn’t fallen in love with him, his life would have been colorless, and he might not have been better off than Lawrence.
In the future, will Lawrence still make a move against the Reed family?
Or will he choose to make a move against Jasper?
At the thought of this, William’s heart sank and he held the person in his arms tighter.
No matter what, he wouldn’t let Lawrence have the chance to harm Jasper!
If one day Lawrence really dared to do such a thing, then he would take care of Lawrence first, no matter what it takes!
Therefore, he must become even stronger, strong enough to fear no one, strong enough to provide her with enough protection.
At this moment, William made a certain determination in his heart!
Mason was discharged from the hospital, and Veronica moved in with the Reed family to take care of him.
The Reed family was happy to see their relationship develop, and even Grace would chat with Veronica about when they planned to get married and whether they would live in the Reed family or buy a villa outside after marriage, making Veronica blush.
However, living with the Reed family during this time made her feel a kind of relaxation that she had never experienced before.
Perhaps it was because she had completely recognized her feelings for Mason, and the misunderstandings between them had been resolved. She even had hope for the future, so all the negative emotions that had weighed on her in the past had dissipated one by one.
If there were still any worries, one was about Daniel’s trial in court, and the other was about her own family.
She was well aware of her father and stepmother’s greed, and although her half-brother’s nature was still kind, he had been spoiled by her father and stepmother, spending money recklessly and even developing a lifetime of bad habits. If this continued, even his inherent kindness would be erased.
Although her father and stepmother didn’t know about her and
Mason’s reconciliation yet, if they found out, they would probably come to the Reed family to ask for benefits again.
Thinking of her parasitic father and stepmother, Veronica couldn’t help but feel disgusted.
She despised her own family and even felt inferior when she saw the Reed family’s happy scene.
“What are you thinking about?” Mason asked Veronica, who was lost in thought, in the Reed family’s garden.
“We’re together now, but I’m worried that my family will make excessive demands if they find out,”
Veronica replied truthfully.
After a moment of contemplation, Mason said, “Even if they do make excessive demands, the Reed family can fulfill them.”
He was well aware of her family’s character – greedy and insatiable – but any problem that money could solve was not a big deal for the Reed family.
“But I don’t want that,” Veronica said. “If we keep satisfying them, they’ll never be content and will only become more demanding!”
Just like before, her father and stepmother used Mason to gain benefits from the Reed family. In the future, would she become the next object of her father and stepmother’s exploitation?
She didn’t want to be used like that and didn’t want to end up hating herself in the future!
“Mason, I want to eat ties with them Veronica usid, as if the had made up her mind. In fact, Bethes this the loud already cut off almost all contact with her father and depointhur, except sometimes they would come to her for trouble beems of money issues and hope she could speak to the Reed family for them.
Mason was taken aback, clearly surprised by her words.
“Have you thought it through?” Mason asked.
“I’ve actually wanted to cut ties with them for a long time,” Veronica said. “But I’m worried that if I really do cut ties with them, it might have some negative impact on the Reed family…”
After all, she would marry Mason in the future, and cutting ties with her family before marrying into a wealthy family could be interpreted by others as snobbish.
She didn’t care about others’ misunderstandings of her, but she was afraid it would bring a bad influence on the Reed family.
So in this regard, she was also in a dilemma.
“If you really want to do it, just do it. Don’t worry about anything else. The Reed family will handle it, and there won’t be any trouble,” Mason said.
“Really? ” Veronica still had doubts.
“If this kind of thing causes trouble for the Reed family, how could they have been established in
Emerald City for so many years? Don’t worry. When the time comes, tell your father and stepmother. If they have any crooked ideas, they will naturally suffer the consequences. But I’m afraid you’ll be too soft-hearted by then,” Mason said.
Soft-hearted? Veronica frowned. How could she be soft-hearted towards such a father and stepmother!
However, Veronica didn’t expect that the next day after talking to Mason, her father and stepmother would be in trouble.
Because too many things had happened during this period, and the place where she worked had taken too many days off, the personnel at the brokerage company had “tactfully” asked her to handle the handover procedures.
After all, companies like this usually have one person for one job. If she takes a long leave, the company will inevitably recruit new employees to complete her work.
Veronica resigned from the company and had just walked a few steps out of the door when she was surrounded by a group of people.
“You are Veronica, right? Archer and Rosalind are your parents, right?” The leader said maliciously.
Veronica pursed her lips and did not answer directly, guessing who these people were.
“It’s no use denying it. We have already inquired. You are Veronica. Your parents owe us 30 million.
They said you have the ‘ability’ to repay the money. I’m quite curious, what kind of ability do you have?
Is it a special kind of ‘ability’?” The other party said with insinuation, full of vulgar language.
The other party hinted at something with his words.
Veronica frowned. “They owe the money, so they should repay it. I never said I would help them repay it.”
However, this was indeed something her father and stepmother would do.
