The Reed family’s breakfast was naturally abundant. Veronica glanced at the sandwich and coffee that
Mason was having and said, “I’ll have what you’re having.”
A servant was preparing breakfast for Veronica.
There were only four people sitting at the table now, including Veronica.
At this time, everyone else had already finished brea gone to work or school.
However, due to the Reed family and Veronica’s situation causing a lot of commotion, Jasper didn’t want to be questioned at school, so she took a few days off, and William naturally accompanied her.
Of course, William knew that the biggest reason Jasper took time off was probably because of
Lawrence.
When all the truth was laid out, the current Lawrence was no longer the same person as before.
After the servant brought Veronica’s meal, she picked up her sandwich and started eating.
“Veronica, did you sleep with Mason last night?” Jasper’s voice suddenly rang out in the dining room.
“Ahem…” Veronica almost choked on her sandwich, and awkwardly covered her mouth with her hand.
It took her a while to swallow the sandwich, and then she took a sip of coffee to moisten her throat.
“Ah, sorry, Veronica, are you okay?” Jasper quickly apologized.
Mason gently patted Veronica’s back and helped her breathe.
“I’m…I’m fine,” Veronica said embarrassedly.
“I was just curious about my question earlier because I saw Mason coming out of your room in his pajamas this mor Jasper explained.
Veronica felt embarrassed and said, “Um…I couldn’t sleep last night, so I asked Mason to keep me company for a while.”
She thought she would have trouble sleeping because of what happened during the day, but maybe having Mason by her side made her feel at case.
So she chatted for a while and then fell asleep, sleeping until morning.
“You guys have such a good relationship. If I can’t sleep, Mason definitely won’t come to keep me company,” Jasper said.
Mason gave Jasper a blank look and said, “If you can’t sleep, you can ask William to keep you company.”
“Mason!” Jasper grumbled.
Just then, William’s phone suddenly rang. After listening for a moment, his face changed slightly.
After the call ended, Jasper asked, “What happened? Is something wrong?”
“Lawrence…applied to withdraw from school and booked a flight to leave Emerald City tomorrow,”
William said.
Jasper was surprised. “He’s leaving?”
“Yes,” William replied.
After thinking for a moment, Jasper said, “Where is h he still at bor?
APA
“He’s still applying to withdraw from school,” William said.
“I’m going to the school,” Jasper said, standing up and walking quickly towards the door.
William quickly got up and followed him.
When they got to the garage, William stopped Jasper and asked, “Are you going to find Lawrence?”
“Yes,” Jasper replied. “Since he’s leaving, I want to see him again.”
Although she hasn’t been going to school these days, subconsciously it’s probably to avoid him.
Because if she sees him, she doesn’t even know how to face him.
The person she owed in the past almost killed her loved ones.
His ruthlessness and changes exceeded her imagination.
Even these days, she often dreams of the shy little boy who used to sit in front of the piano and play beautiful music over and over again.
“Then I’ll accompany you,” William said.
Jasper bit his lip. “I’m sorry, but this time, I want to see him alone.”
“No way!” William immediately vetoed. “What if he does something dangerous to you like last time?”
“I will choose a place with more people and surveillance, and I will also have the driver follow not far away,” Jasper said. “You also know that he doesn’t like you very much. I’m afraid that if you come with me, it will only cause conflict.”
William didn’t say anything, but his body blocked Jasper’s way, obviously still worried.
Jasper then said, “Since he has already planned to leave Emerald City, he won’t hurt me. If he hurts me, he won’t be able to leave Emerald City either.”
“But even if there is a one in a million chance of danger, I don’t want to take the risk,” William said.
Jasper hesitated and said, “William, you know that Lawrence has always been a knot in my heart. I want to compensate him, but I also want to bring him to justice. But now, I haven’t done either, and he’s about to leave Emerald City. So I want to see him and say some things that I haven’t said to him yet.”
William looked at Jasper in front of him. They had known each other for so long, and he understood her very well.
He knew that if she didn’t see Lawrence today, this Lawrence’s heart would only sink deeper in her hear
But if he’s not by her side…
After a long pause, he finally said, “Then let’s do what you said earlier. Have surveillance in crowded places, have the driver follow closely, and once it’s over, come back. I’ll be waiting here for you. Don’t worry me too much.”
Jasper smiled, “Okay, I promise. Don’t worry, nothing will happen.”
A woman’s intuition made Jasper understand that Lawrence wouldn’t really hurt her.
Perhaps it was because of his complicated feelings for her that he couldn’t vent his resentment directly on her, so he turned to her relatives.
The driver drove Jasper to Stanford University.
William stood at the Reed family’s gate until the car disappeared from view, then took out his phone and dialed a number.
“Jasper went to school. Keep an eye on her safety. You should know what will happen if something happens to her.”
The person on the other end of the phone was a member of the Barlow family’s security team, specifically left to protect William’s safety.
And now, William wanted these people to protect Ja their might.
The car arrived at the school, and Jasper got out and hurried towards the place to apply for withdrawal.
Along the way, some people recognized Jasper and looked at her curiously, wondering where she was going in such a hurry.
Jasper didn’t pay attention to these gazes, she just kept walking quickly.
Suddenly, her footsteps stopped, and a familiar figure caught her eye.
That’s Lawrence!
Jasper stopped in her tracks and gazed at Lawrence, who was wearing a white shirt.
The young man in white was elegant and refined, just like the beautiful image she had imagined.
She had fantasized many times about how they would reunite, but she never thought it would turn out like this. She never expected his revenge to be directed towards her family instead of her.
Perhaps it was best that she and Lawrence had never met.
At this moment, Lawrence also saw her and stopped in his tracks, staring straight at her.
Their eyes met.
Jasper took a deep breath and walked towards Lawrence.
He looked slightly surprised but stood still, waiting for her to approach.
Finally, she stood in front of him and asked, “I heard you dropped out of school and are planning to leave Emerald City?”
“You seem to be well-informed,” Lawrence sneered lightly.
“When are you leaving?” she asked.
“Tomorrow,” he replied.
“Where are you going?”
“Yemen,” Lawrence said.
Yemen, it’s really far away from here, one in the south and one in the north, it takes more than ten hours by plane.
“Just because you escaped legal sanctions this time, doesn’t mean you can do it again,” Jasper said seriously.
He chuckled, “Is that why you came to talk to me?”
“I also want to tell you, don’t commit any more crimes, whether it’s for revenge or something else,” she said.
“It really sounds like something a naive and ignoran would say,” Lawrence sneered, “But unfortunately, decided by me, not by you telling me what to do or not to do.”
“Yes, your life is decided by you, but the consequences may not be something you can bear,” Jasper suddenly laughed, “Do you know why you can stand in front of me unscathed after what you did to
Mason and the others? Do you really think the Reed family’s reputation in Emerald City is just for show?”
Lawrence narrowed his eyes, “What do you mean?”
“If it weren’t for the Reed family feeling indebted to you, you wouldn’t be fine now,” Jasper said, “So, I’m not the naive and ignorant rich girl you think I am. I know that there is a bright side and a dark side to this world. Although my family has always tried to protect me and keep me in the dark, it doesn’t mean I really know nothing.”
Lawrence tightly pursed his lips and stared at Jasper.
“So, don’t lay a hand on anyone from the Reed family again. Next time, you won’t be so lucky, and I won’t treat you like I used to!” Jasper said.
