âBy the way, I heard Lawrence has been found?â Hadwin spoke up. His wife was always a big mouth and had the closest relationship with Grace. Therefore, thanks to his wife, everyone knew about Lawrence being found.
âHmm, itâs quite surprising. He was actually adopted by the Elliott family,â Jason said.
âWhich Elliott family?â Brian asked.
âNot in the country, but overseas. They made their fortune in shipping,â Jason replied.
âOh?â Hadwin pondered thoughtfully. The Stephenson family was the leader in shipping in the country.
If it was about shipping, the Stephenson family would naturally know more. than others. âCould it be the Elliott family from Yemen?â
There are many wealthy families in Yemen.
âYes, itâs that Elliott family,â Jason said.
âHe was adopted by that family?â Hadwin asked.
âTo be precise, he replaced the original heir of the Elliott family who had passed away,â Jason said.
Hadwin frowned. âThat Mrs. Elliott from the Elliott family seems to have some mental problems.â
âThe information I found says sheâs already better,â Jason said.
âSometimes only the parties involved know whether itâs really better or not,â Hadwin said lightly. âBut Lawrence has been found. Jasper should be happy. Itâs also considered fulfilling one of her wishes.â
âMaybe finding him is just the beginning of trouble,â Jason said. âLawrence now is not the same simple kid as before.â
âAre you scared?â Brian asked.
âNot really, but Iâm worried he might do something stupid and hurt Jasper,â Jason said. In fact, he didnât really care about how Lawrence was doing. He only cared about his daughter. âSpeaking of which, Jasper gave him an invitation to her birthday banquet today. He should come. You can take a look at him then.â
Everyone present was aware of Lawrenceâs situation, as all the families had helped in the search for him.
Meanwhile, the women were chatting about William and Jasper.
âIs Jasper really dating William?â Lina, the most gossip-prone, started the topic.
âYes,â Grace replied with a smile.
âItâs like a childhood crush that turned into reality,â Lina sighed. âIâve thought they had something going on since they were kids, like a fairy tale. I wish I had a childhood sweetheart like that!â
âYou donât, but your daughter does,â Grace teased.
âWell, yeah, now that you mention it, Tina and Chandler are childhood sweethearts too. But who knows if it will turn into love in the future,â Lina said, as her daughter was only 13 and still in the innocent stage of love.
Tina was engaged to Chandler since birth, and no one knew what the future held for them.
Chandler had developed feelings for Linaâs daughter, but Tinaâ¦
Lina worried about what would happen if Tina didnât love Chandler in the future. The thought of how the Stephenson family and the Hunter family would handle it gave her a headache.
âThere are other childhood sweethearts too,â Kyla said. âHarley and Lornell are also close. Maybe theyâll end up like William and Jasper.â
Valda smiled. âThey do get along well.â
âBy the way, are Lornell and Chandler coming over today?â Amber asked.
