William stared at the person in front of him, realizing that she understood him.
She understood his feelings towards blood ties and family.
Just like when he returned to the Barlow family, he didnât feel any sense of familial connection. He only went back because he wanted to be worthy of her in the future.
But through the little things in the Barlow family, his fatherâs care, his grandparentsâ love, he began to feel a sense of family.
He finally slowly integrated into the Barlow family!
All of this was built up through daily interactions, not just relying on the concept of blood ties!
âWilliam, no matter what decision you make, Iâll stand by your side!â Jasper said to William. âThis time, Iâll face it with you!â
His eyes welled up with tears, and he hugged her tightly. âOkay, Iâll handle this matter well! Trust me!â
âI trust you!â She had always believed in him since childhood.
In the evening, William and Jasper went to the Reed familyâs place. At this time, Mick had been working with some computer experts to find the whereabouts of the person who posted on the school forum.
Although they found the poster, the person was overseas and William had never met them before.
They had no connection to the Barlow family.
âThe person on the other side of the foreign country has been found, but upon questioning, he only took money to do the job. The full text of the post was directly printed out by the other party and stuffed under his door, while the money was given through anonymous transfer, making it difficult to trace where the money came from,â Jason called William into the study and told him the result.
William pondered, it seemed that the other party in the dark was very cautious, and even knew that they would investigate.
âHowever, there is something different that we found about your grandparents,â Jason said.
Williamâs heart skipped a beat, âWhat is it?â
âYour grandparents have always been in Deer Capital. The reason they appeared in Emerald City is because someone told them that you were studying at Stanford University and also told them that you were in a difficult situation there because of your motherâs past,â Jason said.
William was taken aback. âWho is that person?â he asked.
âYou know him,â Jason replied, handing William a few photos. The photos showed a man wearing a duckbill cap and a mask talking to the elderly couple in a surveillance screenshot.
There were only a few screenshots, and the manâs appearance was not clear, only his general body shape.
âYour grandparents donât know him because he deliberately concealed his appearance, so they didnât get a good look at him. However, when your grandfather was about to fall, he helped him up, leaving his fingerprints on your grandfatherâs belt,â Jason explained, taking out another photo and handing it to William.
William looked at the photo, but it was a picture of Roger, taken secretly, with Rogerâs gaze not facing the camera.
âThat fingerprint matches his. Heâs a student at your school, and it seems like you and Jasper both know him. There was even some misunderstanding between him and Jasper before,â said Jason.
