Fortunate to Have You This Lifetime

Marcel Jefferson has been scorned by them all day today. Upon hearing their request, he hurriedly patted his chest and promised, “Of course! I’ll have someone look into it as soon as I get back.”

After making the promise, he felt odd and asked, “Wasn’t this bought by Chloe Bennett? Do we still need to specifically check it?”

“Chloe Bennett is broke.” Purple Summers glanced at the shabby apartment building, “She’s struggling to make ends meet, and even if she wanted to buy this, she wouldn’t be willing to spend money on it. It’s very likely that someone else bought it for her.”

Marcel couldn’t quite believe it, thinking who would buy something like this and give it to someone, especially a sixteen or seventeen-year-old female student.

Purple Summers saw his stunned expression and thought he was having a hard time with the investigation. She reassured him, “It’s fine if you can’t find out. As long as the DNA comparison matches Henry Jameson’s, the case can be closed.”

How could Marcel allow himself to be looked down upon by a little girl? He emphasized once more, “It’s easy! I’ll find out for you in no time!”

Purple Summers smiled and turned to remind Aria Jackson, “Remember to collect fingerprints and check if there are any others besides Chloe Bennett’s.”

She held her shoulder bag which contained the crow inside and then comfortably stretched her arm, “Mission accomplished, let’s call it a day.”

“I’ll drive you back.” Aria Jackson put her arm around Purple’s shoulder and walked ahead.

Seeing the two walking away, Marcel felt a bit puzzled. After hesitating for a moment, he quickly caught up to them.

“Um… cousin, are we done here?”

“What else do you want to do?” Aria Jackson cast a strange glance at him, “As long as Henry Jameson’s secretion is detected on the replica, along with Chloe Bennett’s fingerprints, it’s enough to prove that it’s all her self-directed act. According to Criminal Law Article 243, those who commit false accusation crimes shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of no more than 3 years.”

Marcel scratched his ear, “I just thought it went too smoothly, didn’t expect we could clear things up so quickly.”

“It was Purple and me, not you! All you did was help rummage through the trash.” Aria Jackson disdainfully gave him a sidelong glance, “If you were the one investigating, who knows when you would find something.”

Marcel: “I…”

Forget it, he’d better not say anything else…

Aria Jackson drove her old and repaired jeep, first taking Marcel back to the law firm, then driving Purple Summers back home.

The jeep stopped outside the Summers Family’s big iron gate with intertwined branches.

Aria Jackson said, “I’ll call you when the results from the forensic department are out.”

Purple Summers agreed, got up, and got out of the car.

Aria Jackson stopped her again, “Hey, how’s your own investigation going?”

Purple Summers shook her head in slight annoyance, “Previously, Jade Carlson wanted to take my computer. I thought there must be some files she cared about, but after a careful examination, I found only some case information. Some cases have been closed, some are still pending, none of them are major or confidential. I don’t understand why she’d want those files.”

Aria Jackson reminded her, “Perhaps the part involving the secrets has not been discovered by you yet, and she mistakenly thinks you’ve found it.”

Purple Summers, deep in thought, slowly nodded, “Hmm, your idea is not bad. I’ll look into it again when I get back.”

The two chatted by the gate for a while, and Aria drove away.

Purple Summers entered the big iron gate with intertwined branches, unexpectedly seeing a person standing under a tree – it was Nathaniel Summers.

Nathaniel was smoking under the tree, his gloomy gaze fixed on her, and it was unclear how long he had been staring.

His gaze made Purple Summers feel very uncomfortable, so she continued walking forward indifferently without intending to pay any attention to him.

But Nathaniel suddenly asked, “Jade Carlson personally drove you back. How did you get to know Jade Carlson?”

Purple Summers’ steps faltered..
