âForget it, things are fine the way they are now,â Veronica said. He wouldnât be trapped by her side and could pursue a broader world.
The Barlow family wouldnât continue to suck the blood of the Reed family like parasites.
The Barlow family wonât keep leeching off the Reed family like parasites anymore.
And she doesnât have to worry about not being able to give him the kind of love he wants.
Maybe this is the best ending they can have now.
Jasper bit his lip and suddenly asked, âBut donât you feel regretful, Veronica?â
Veronica was taken aback and looked up at Jasper.
Jasper continued, âThere are some things that if missed, may lead to a lifetime of regret, just like meâ¦â
She chuckled self-deprecatingly, âI cut ties with Lawrence back then, but later on, when he got into trouble, I realized how immature my actions were. ! donât know if Lawrence is still alive now, but if he is, he probably hates me.â
Jasperâs voice paused for a moment, âI always think that if time could be turned back, I would never cut ties with Lawrence, I would help him and his family, and I wouldnât let myself regret it again.â
Veronica fell silent upon hearing this.
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and William walked in after a moment, âJasper, the charity auction is about to start.â
Jasper then turned to Veronica and said, âVeronica, Iâll go out first. You can rest here for a while.â
âOkay,â Veronica nodded.
Jasper stood up and followed William out. Veronica watched their backs and couldnât help but show a hint of envy in her eyes.
William has always been by Jasperâs side.
And by her side, there was once someone who accompanied her from childhood to adolescence⦠but now, she is left alone.
Jasper and William arrived at the charity auction.
All the items being auctioned off were donated by guests attending todayâs event. The host introduced each item, including the donor.
âDo you see anything you like?â William asked.
By asking this, he meant that if there was something she liked, he would bid on it for her.
âNo,â Jasper shook her head. For her, the donated jewelry and limited edition bags usually didnât catch her interest.
Just then, as the host was moving on to the next item, he announced that it was donated by an anonymous person. The item was a partially damaged musical score.
Jasper immediately looked towards the stage upon hearing this.
On the big screen on stage, the contents of this incomplete sheet music were displayed. The paper was mottled and yellowed, indicating its age. However, the music on the incomplete sheet caught Jasperâs eye.
This is the sheet music for âThe Old Wind,â a song created by a famous musician a hundred years ago.
Unfortunately, due to the turmoil of war, the song is incomplete.
And there are also many copies of the incomplete piece in the music circle, and many people are happy to complete this piece of music.
Everyone has a different feeling towards a piece of music, and the completed piece of music is also different for each person.
Jasper looked at the music score and listened to the host saying that the anonymous donor claimed it was an authentic piece, but they couldnât confirm it because there was no expert to authenticate it.
However, Jasper had a feeling that this should be an authentic piece.
