Parker, I can’t rember many things from ten years ago very clearly.
After thinking carefully just now, if I rember correctly, I did take Joanna to a banquet hosted by the Parker family that year.”
“That year…
I think it was sumr.” Benjamin Lawrence recalled as he spoke, “That was the first ti the Lawrence family received an invitation from the Parker family.”
For the Lawrence family, this was an honor and a surprise.
That’s why he still rembered this incident.
If it were so unimportant invitations from small households, how could he rember?
Frank Parker suddenly looked up, a tumultuous surge rising in his heart, and sothing rapidly churned in his narrowed eyes.
He asked with a slight tremble in his voice, “Are you sure?
Ten years ago, you took Joanna to a banquet held by the Parker family?”
Benjamin Lawrence looked at him seriously and thought again for a mont before nodding.
“Yes, it was Mr.
Parker’s birthday party back then.
I thought Joanna was close in age to you and it would be appropriate to bring her along, so I took her with .”
Frank Parker’s face still appeared calm.
However, his fingers gripping the coffee cup couldn’t help but tremble slightly.
“About that incident…” Benjamin Lawrence looked cautiously at Frank’s expression, hesitating with a look of wanting to speak but holding back.
Frank Parker took a deep breath, striving to control the intense emotions surging deep in his heart: “What else do you rember?”
The reason why Benjamin Lawrence still rembered that day’s events was firstly, because it was the young master’s birthday, and the Lawrences were fortunate enough to attend, which was an extrely honorable event for him.
It was a matter he had boasted about for a long ti.
Secondly, it was because an impressive incident occurred at the birthday party that he still rembered.
Although he had hesitated about whether to ntion it, Frank Parker had already asked, so he had no choice but to tell the truth.
“I rember that day, Joanna said she was going to the restroom, and she took quite a long ti.
When she ca back, I found her whole body drenched like she had fallen into the water.
At the ti, I asked her what had happened, but she didn’t tell .
I was worried she had caught a cold, so I took her ho early.”
Back then, he thought his daughter had been bullied.
He felt both angry and helpless.
At first, he wanted to find the person who had bullied Joanna, but when he thought that most people at the party were wealthy or from prominent families, if the other party’s family background far exceeded the Lawrences’, he might not only fail to seek justice but also invite trouble.
After thinking it over, he just let it go.
In fact, Benjamin Lawrence didn’t know why he had ntioned this incident.
He simply thought that perhaps the incident Frank Parker was investigating was related to this incident as well.
Otherwise, why would he pursue what happened ten years ago?
Moreover, he kept asking if he had taken Joanna with him back then.
Clearly, the incident he was investigating was related to Joanna, and it happened during his birthday party.
That’s why Benjamin Lawrence suddenly thought of ntioning this incident.
Courage to say so also ca as he saw Frank Parker’s attitude, which didn’t seem like he was here to bla him.
“What did you say?”
The calm Frank Parker had barely managed to maintain shattered upon hearing this, and the white jade-colored coffee cup in his hand nearly cracked.
