Chapter 99 JonathanÂ
Lawrence pieced together those scattered clues like fragments of a puzzle.Â
388Â
Not long before, he personally drowned a boy who, in his past life, had always acted arrogantly in front of them and enjoyed coming up with new ways to bully them.Â
Before dying, the boy struggled wildly. His voice twisted with fear as he shouted, trying to bribe Lawrence with money and promises.Â
It actually felt ridiculous.Â
Those spoiled rich kids always believed they could stand above others. Even when death was right in front of them, they still thought the same tricks could save them.Â
As for what they did in the past, they never believed it was wrong.Â
To them, it was just entertainment.Â
That entire group dismissed all the pain they caused, blaming it on being young, immature, or childish. “Why do you always think you can stand above everyone else?”Â
He bent slightly, leaning close to the water as he watched the boy’s eyes slowly go dull. “Because of your status?Â
“The truth is, when it comes to life and death, money and status are the cheapest things there are.Â
“Just like now. Your status can’t save you.”Â
The resistance under his hands grew weaker until it stopped completely.Â
That was the first time Lawrence had killed someone.Â
He had never felt so calm.Â
There was another time. He personally tied up a girl and dragged her to an empty place.Â
She was one of Kaia’s close friends, always pretending to be righteous while treating Maya like an enemy.Â
The insults, the exclusion, being isolated and pushed around at gatherings.Â
Saying he did not care would be a lie. He hated everything Maya had gone through.Â
Kaia had too many allies. Someone was always ready to stand up for her, to fight for her, to claim they were protecting her.Â
Even when Kaia was wrong, someone would still apologize for her and tell Maya not to take it seriously. But who would pay for his sister’s life?Â
He still remembered pressing the knife against that girl’s throat. She screamed and cried, calling for her parents.Â

Lawrence had no experience.Â
He used too much force.Â
Blood splashed across his face. He raised a finger and wiped it away lightly.Â
On his pale face, a hollow and satisfied smile slowly appeared.Â
Then he walked away as if nothing had happened.Â
He had already destroyed every camera and recording device in advance.Â
Going after those sheltered rich kids raised in luxury was actually easy.Â
Their families guarded against kidnappings, threats, and enemies.Â
But they always ignored the quiet child who barely spoke, barely existed, and stayed distant from everyone.Â
And even if he got caught, so what?Â
He knew that even if there were traces left behind, Thomas would use all his power to clear everything.Â
“What have you been doing this past year, Lawrence!”Â
Thomas rushed in, still covered in dust from travel. He stormed into the room, holding a few blurry photos and reports he had paid a huge price to get.Â
He slammed them onto the table. His hair was messy, his breathing uneven, his voice full of anger. “Those two kids who died before. You did it.”Â
No matter how carefully Lawrence acted, two coincidences in a row were enough for Thomas to start suspecting him.Â
And recently, Lawrence had been acting more and more boldly. Thomas would have had to be blind not to notice.Â
For over a year, his son’s mental state had been unstable, like a string stretched to the limit.Â
Even his behavior and speech were far too mature for his age.Â
Thomas had tried sending him to therapy, but nothing changed.Â
“What are you talking about? I’m just a kid.”Â
Lawrence turned his head, looking slightly surprised. He pulled his coat around himself, his tone gentle and harmless.Â
He had a striking face.Â
His amber eyes were round, giving him an innocent look.Â
But there was no childish softness. His thin face was expressionless, and his presence felt cold and unsettling.Â

“Oh, right. I heard you’ve been getting close to the head of the Filmores lately. Are you planning something?” he asked softly, as if it was casual.Â
Thomas frowned instinctively.Â
This kid usually mocked him. Hearing him speak politely now felt wrong.Â
It made Thomas uneasy, as if something was being planned behind the scenes.Â
“The Filmores’ second son is quite good. When your sister comes back, we can let them spend time together. Maybe as friends first. Maybe later it can become something more.”Â
Thomas had already started arranging a future match.Â
He did not notice that Lawrence’s expression had turned completely cold.Â
“Jonathan Filmore.”Â
The name rolled off Lawrence’s tongue, carrying disgust and killing intent.Â
That man had been Maya’s fiancĂ© in the past life.Â
More than once, he had shown improper interest in her.Â
Yet in the end, he still chose Kaia.Â
Memories surged uncontrollably.Â
“Jonathan said he wants to get engaged to me. He said we’ll be together from now on.”Â
