For a while, rumors about William in school became increasingly rampant, and Jasper couldnât shake the feeling that an invisible hand was manipulating everything behind the scenes.
Some aspiring internet celebrities also took advantage of the situation to sneak into the school and engage in various forms of paparazzi behavior, hoping to gain more online traffic. Even though the school had reported to the police and caught several of these individuals, the behavior could not be completely eradicated.
Jasper suggested to William, âWhy donât you take a few days off to avoid this situation?â
William replied, âNo need. If I really avoid it, some people will feel even more justified in what theyâre saying!â
âHave you and my older brother found the person who posted on the forum last time?â Jasper asked.
âWe found him. Weâve identified a person, but heâs overseas and heâs probably just a middleman.
Thereâs someone else behind the scenes,â said William.
âI donât know why, but I have a feeling that this incident and what happened to your grandparents are somehow related,â Jasper said.
After all, the two incidents happened too close together, and both seemed to be aimed at destroying Williamâs reputation.
âRegardless of whether theyâre connected or not, I will find the person behind this,â William said firmly.
Later that night, Jasper was looking at sheet music in the dormitory when Meave rushed in and said, âJasper, I just got back and saw a lot of people blocking William at the school gate.â
âWhat?â Jasper was taken aback and asked urgently, âWhatâs going on?â
Meave gasped and said, âIt seems that Williamâs grandparents had an accident and were hospitalized.
A bunch of small internet celebrities holding their phones and third-rate tabloid reporters blocked Williamâs car from entering the school. When he got out of the car to enter the school, those people surrounded him and kept asking all sorts of nonsense questions.â
Upon hearing this, Jasper quickly changed his shoes and was about to rush out of the dormitory.
âHey, are you⦠are you planning to go to the school gate?â Meave quickly stopped him.
âOf course I am!â Jasper said.
âIf you go out there in the midst of all this chaos, itâs only going to get worse, especially with all those unscrupulous people doing live broadcasts. If you end up being broadcasted online, a lot of people might start blaming you foo,â Meave warned.
After all, all kinds of people exist on the internet these days.
âThatâs okay, I donât mind,â Jasper replied.
âJasper, do you like William that much? Youâre still going to look for him at a time like this? If William treats you badly in the future, I might not help you beat him up!â Meave exclaimed.
As Jasper ran towards the school gate, he couldnât help but think about what Meave had said.
As Jasper ran towards the school gate, she couldnât help but think about what Meave had said.
What exactly did she mean by liking William?
Jasper knew that going there might not make a difference and even make things worse, but she couldnât just leave William alone!
How deep were her feelings for him?
As she was about to reach the school gate, a figure suddenly appeared from a dark corner and grabbed her. A familiar voice whispered in her ear, âWhere are you going?â
Jasper stopped in his tracks and caught sight of Rogerâs clear and refined face!
