Fortunate to Have You This Lifetime

The morning tea lost its taste.

In Nathaniel’s mind, there were moments when Purple would scold him harshly, and others when her cold laughter filled with a hint of chillness.

Irritated and confused.

He felt like he was paying too much attention to this nominal sister of his.

There was something strange about Purple, as if there were something on her that would occasionally catch his attention.

“…Only sixteen years old and she’s already dressing so provocatively. I’m afraid she won’t behave after going to Grey International School.” After questioning Purple’s dress, Jade started speculating about her actions. “Nathaniel, this Purple Summers has impure intentions. She’s worked so hard to get into Grey, clearly for the purpose of connecting with the powerful and wealthy, so she can marry into a rich family later on! The students at Grey International School are all from wealthy backgrounds.”

What does it matter if she offends the Summers Family? A girl will get married eventually, and as long as she connects with the influential, she can easily break away from the Summers Family!

She disregards the reputation and prestige of the Summers Family, using a recording that could potentially ruin Laura’s life to exchange for her own future.

What a selfish and malicious girl!

Jade thought she had seen through Purple’s intentions, saying with a frown, “We need to make sure Laura stays alert at school. They’re attending the same school, so we don’t want her reputation to be affected by Purple.”

Nathaniel found every word grating on his ears, saying irritably, “Let’s hurry up and eat. We still need to go to the Jameson Family.”

Noticing Nathaniel’s displeasure, Jade stopped talking, thinking that he was annoyed by Alexander’s sarcasm.

There were three young masters in the Summers Family, each from a different mother. On the surface, they appeared harmonious, but their relationship was not good.

After breakfast, Nathaniel drove Jade to the Jameson Family home.

The Jameson Family eagerly awaited the arrival of the prosecutor. Henry welcomed them early on.

Jade maintained a proper smile on her face as she admired the Jameson Family’s ancient furniture and decorations that carried a sense of the worldliness. She was overwhelmed by the emotions it brought out in her.

If she could accomplish this task and receive help from the Jameson Family, it would be even easier for her to marry into the Summers Family…

Henry introduced Jade to his parents.

“Ms. Carlson is a newly promoted prosecutor this year. She has been working with Suzanne Saunders for the past few years, and her abilities are outstanding. Nathaniel specifically asked for Ms. Carlson’s help in my case this time. She has seen many of these cases in the Prosecutor’s Office, so she’s the most experienced in handling them.”

Mr. and Mrs. Jameson greeted Jade one after another, both without a hint of superior airs, despite being the elders.

Henry felt a sense of sadness seeing his parents’ cautious attitude.

His parents, who were usually busy people, had been running around restlessly because of his incident.

Unfortunately, most of the connections the Jameson Family has were in the cultural circle, with only a few friends knowledgeable in law. Even among those who were, they were hesitant to confide, since Henry’s charges were truly disgraceful. The Jameson Family did not want to make the matter public.

If Henry’s criminal charges were proven true, it would be an unimaginable disgrace.

Henry couldn’t imagine what it would be like when people talked about the Secretary-General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and mentioned that his son was a rapist.

The Jameson Family would be humiliated because of him!

And his sister…

His sister would also be implicated, ridiculed, and insulted. Even her marriage prospects would be affected!

Despair filled Henry’s heart, but for the sake of his family, he had to hold on to every last bit of hope, no matter how slim.

Mrs. Jameson said with a smile, “We’ve heard that Prosecutor Saunders is extremely perceptive and meticulous in her work. Ms. Carlson, working with Prosecutor Saunders, must have some exceptional qualities.”

Although she was being praised, the mention of Suzanne Saunders made Jade feel uncomfortable.

However, Jade didn’t reveal her displeasure, smiling as she said, “Nathaniel has already briefly told me about the case. What is it that you’re seeking right now?”

Mr. and Mrs. Jameson exchanged glances.

Then, Mr.. Jameson cautiously asked, “In Prosecutor Carlson’s opinion, given the current situation, how should we proceed to minimize the damage?”
