De Lawrence: Ambition of the Past
Gaffes
"Thank God." Edgar was relieved, "the big master also advised that young master Ellard could help you take care of the company."
Jessie just smiled in response. He knew Ellard wouldn't like it. The boy has his own desires.
"I have to go back as soon as possible. Be careful when you go home. Look around you."
The last time when commemorating Sophia with the same thing, the woman returned as sad news. He didn't expect Jessie to have the same fate.
"You're still Lawrence for us. Whether you or your sister, you're the same" Edgar argued quickly, "about your identity, it's best to keep it a secret for your safety."
"Is there anything else you want to say?" jessie asked, "about Ellard maybe?" Switching conversations.
"Ah right. Sorry for the sudden arrival, miss. He was too happy because the great master let him go."
"He almost froze to death outside."
"That kid's a bad boy" Edgar licked, "hopefully you don't mind taking care of it either."
"No problem. I like it."
"Thank God." Edgar was relieved, "the big master also advised that young master Ellard could help you take care of the company."
Jessie just smiled in response. He knew Ellard wouldn't like it. The boy has his own desires.
"I have to go back as soon as possible. Be careful when you go home. Look around you."
The last time when commemorating Sophia with the same thing, the woman returned as sad news. He didn't expect Jessie to have the same fate.
"It's true." Jessie smiled wryly.
"Yes?"
"My parents weren't just an accident, were they? And my sister?"
"You mean, Miss?"
"You covered it up with me. The accident was just an alibi to hide the truth from me." What was held in his heart he finally revealed to this man.
There are a lot of irregularities in their stories.
Edgar breathed slowly. It was useless to keep it a secret, but he had promised the great master to keep quiet.
"I know you're just following Grandpa's orders. I just want to say it, Uncle. Thank you for caring for me."
"I'm sorry, Miss."
"I understand."
Edgar bowed, resigned to Jessie. The woman nodded with a smile.
"Thank you, Miss."
Jessie didn't leave even though Edgar was gone. He chose to remain silent in the private room, a restaurant where they met.
Plane crash? If true, their bodies would most likely not have been found. When he received the news, his parents who were stiffened already looked beautiful and neat in a coffin.
The grandfather only said that they were involved in a plane crash that happened on the same day.
His presence in the main mansion certainly invited many eyes and curiosity of the other family members, but the great master protected him by introducing him as Lawrence's companion.
"Sorry, Miss. It's your Bill." The arrival of the servant made it happen.

Jessie grabbed her coat after passing through the door of the restaurant and walked towards her car. The place is parked far enough because when it came the place was very crowded.
While walking towards his car, his steps slowed down when he sensed someone was watching him from behind. Sighing, Jessie again normalized her steps.
Someone's out of the nest. Perhaps Edgar's presence raises suspicion.
Feeling that someone was approaching, Jessie took her step towards the car until someone suddenly pulled her hand.
Jessie screeched but the owner of the hand immediately smothered her mouth.
"Hmph! Hmphh!"
"Hey hey! What's up?"
Jessie was silent as soon as she recognized the owner of the voice. He opened his eyes slowly.
"Xavier!"
"Yes, Baby. Why yell?" Removing sweat on his temple.
He has been following Jessie since he left the restaurant, but Jessie suddenly sped up and worried Xavier.
"That's you?"
"Yes, it's me."
Jessie hugged him.
"What's wrong? Is something bothering you?" Jessie shakes.
"Calm down, I'll protect you."
