He looked at her, hesitated for a moment and said, âJasper, I think for the next little while, we shouldnât eat together.â
She was taken aback. âWhy?â
She was taken aback and asked, âWhy?â
âUntil I find out who the real poster is, I donât know who is targeting me. If youâre with me, thereâs no telling if thereâs any danger. What if the person targeting me takes it out on you?â William explained.
âBesides, there are a lot of rumors about me at school now. If you continue to be with me, youâll inevitably be criticized by others.â
He didnât care how others criticized him, but he didnât want her to suffer the same criticism.
âI donât want to!â Jasper looked directly at him and spoke up. âIf thereâs no other reason, weâll still have lunch and dinner together every day!â
He frowned, âJasper! What I just saidâ¦â
âI understand!â Jasper said. âIf they want to blame me for targeting you, I can handle it. And even if Iâm criticized, so what? If one day Iâm the one being criticized, are you planning to stop eating with me and avoid me to avoid gossip?â
He was speechless. He would naturally protect her if that were the case.
âSo letâs not say unnecessary things like this in the future,â Jasper said. âBesides, Iâve never been afraid of criticism since I was a child, and Iâm even less afraid now!â

Williamâs eyelashes trembled slightly, and his ink-black pupils were filled with the face in front of him.
Yes, when he was a child, he was a prisoner and was temporarily adopted by the Reed family. The servants and their children all rejected him, and many children even deliberately hit him. At that time, he was covered in bruises and didnât know what to do.
It was her who approached him without any hesitation, insisting on being friends with him and not letting anyone bully him!
During his moments of insecurity and embarrassment, it was her who gave him great courage and made him realize that being alive is a blessing!

âI will definitely find the person who posted that message as soon as possible, and I wonât let you be in danger!â William said.
âOkay,â Jasper smiled, believing that he would definitely find that despicable poster!
In the following days, Jasper openly hung out with William at school, eating together, going to the library together, and even practicing piano together in the music room.
In school, there are many people who say that Jasper is completely love-struck, yet he still hangs out with William.
Some people even say that William has put a curse on Jasper.
And there are others who say that William is successfully getting revenge and may even use Jasper to take over the entire Reed familyâ¦
In any case, there are all kinds of nasty rumors going around!
Of course, people only say these things behind Jasperâs back and no one dares to say it to his face.
After all, the eldest princess of the Reed family is not someone that ordinary people dare to offend easily!
During class that day, Jasper received a call from his father, âIâll have the driver pick you up tonight. I heard that there have been a lot of things happening at your school lately. Donât you want to falk to me about it?â
Jasper bit his lip slightly. Was his father starting to care about this situation now?
That night, Jasper returned to the Reed House and was called directly to the study by his father after dinner.
His mother and older brother were also in the study!
