    Chapter 3024


    If one day Jasper doesn’t want William to y the piano anymore, then William naturally won’t y it


    anymore either.


    Jason clearly understood this, so he didn’t say anything more.


    On the day before leaving Emerald City, Philip took William to Lily’s grave.


    Looking at the ck and white photo of Lily Atkinson on the


    tombstone, Philip felt like he was looking at a stranger.


    He had no feelings for this woman, not even a hint of emotion, to


    the point where he couldn’t even remember what she looked like.


    But it was this woman who gave birth to his only offspring in his


    entire life.


    So his feelings towards Lily are a bitplicated.


    Standing next to Philip, William’s young face was tense and his beautiful eyes were fixed on the


    tombstone in front of him. His


    hands hung tightly at his sides, his small fists clenched, showing


    the tension in his spirit at this moment.


    “Offer incense to your mother. After all, she is the one who gave


    birth to you,” said Philip.


    “I don’t want to,” William refused, to him, the woman he should


    call “mommy” never truly loved him.


    She’s just using him, and even in the end, she’ll use his


    background to deceive people.


    Before, he had never felt warmth, so he didn’t really care.


    But only after truly experiencing warmth, will one know the difference between sincerity and insincerity.


    Upon hearing this, Philip didn’t force it and simply lit three incense sticks and ced them in front of


    Lily’s grave.


    As the smoke rose, William suddenly said, “Is the child of a


    criminal, with criminal blood in their body, going to be a


    criminal in the future too?”


    Philip looked at his son with surprise, “Why do you say that?”


    “Someone said that to me before,” the little boy bit his lip with a


    hint of embarrassment.


    It was when he was with the Reed family before, the children of


    the servants would mock and tease him, saying things like that to

    his face.


    This time, when he returned to the Reed family, his status was


    different, and those who used to despise him would naturally not


    say anything to his face.


    But he identally overheard them talking behind his back,


    saying that he was the child of a criminal and that even though


    he was now a rich kid, he would definitelymit crimes in the future, just like his mother.


    The child of a criminal… it was like an indelible mark on him.


    Philip touched his son’s head and said, “Whether someone bes a criminal is not determined by


    the blood in their body, but by their own choices. If the child of a criminal were to be


    a criminal, then everyone would have to trace their ancestors


    back eighteen generations. It’s likely that even those who have


    never be criminals cannot be found.”


    William blinked his eyes, as if he had never thought about this


    before.


    “You are my son, and I will do everything in my power, as well as


    the Barlow family, to provide you with opportunities. However,


    your future and the kind of person you be is ultimately up to you.” After a pause, Philip added,


    “Your mother’s situation is in


    the past. You are my son, William’s son, and you don’t need to feel inferior in front of anyone.”


    The little one nodded his head.
