Chapter 827: Chapter 825: Getting Closer and Closer to the Truth

So, he didn’t dare to take it lightly and looked up after thinking seriously for a moment, "Mr. Parker, I can’t remember many things from ten years ago very clearly. After thinking carefully just now, if I remember correctly, I did take Joanna to a banquet hosted by the Parker family that year."

"That year... I think it was summer." Benjamin Lawrence recalled as he spoke, "That was the first time 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 remembered this incident.

If it were some unimportant invitations from small households, how could he remember?

Frank Parker suddenly looked up, a tumultuous surge rising in his heart, and something 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 moment 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 me."

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 remember?"

The reason why Benjamin Lawrence still remembered 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 extremely honorable event for him.

It was a matter he had boasted about for a long time.

Secondly, it was because an impressive incident occurred at the birthday party that he still remembered.

Although he had hesitated about whether to mention it, Frank Parker had already asked, so he had no choice but to tell the truth.

"I remember that day, Joanna said she was going to the restroom, and she took quite a long time. When she came back, I found her whole body drenched like she had fallen into the water. At the time, I asked her what had happened, but she didn’t tell me. I was worried she had caught a cold, so I took her home 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 mentioned 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 mentioning this incident.

Courage to say so also came as he saw Frank Parker’s attitude, which didn’t seem like he was here to blame 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.
