Fortunate to Have You This Lifetime

After just a few days, Jade Carlson already looked haggard beyond recognition.

Her complexion was pale, with deep dark circles under her eyes, and her gaze carried an air of frantic desperation.

Purple Summers even suspected that if she were to demand Jade Carlson to kneel and kowtow now, Jade would do so without hesitation.

Upon seeing her, before Purple Summers even opened her mouth, Jade Carlson was eager to speak, “I was wrong! I truly realize my mistake, I shouldn’t have targeted you time and again, Purple Summers, I beg you! Can you forgive me?”

Purple Summers appeared as though she had heard nothing, gracefully seating herself in front of Jade Carlson with poised calmness.

Jade Carlson continued to plead desperately, “I was blinded by selfish interests, Purple Summers, you are magnanimous, please don’t hold this against me anymore!”

“I am not magnanimous,” said Purple Summers.

Jade choked for a moment, then continued, “I really had no malicious intent, I knew that your snake wouldn’t bite, that’s why I came up with that plan, Purple Summers, you have to know that it was because of you that I left the Prosecutor’s Office! I had to resort to schemes for the sake of my future, but I truly bore no ill will! Look, Mrs. Farrell’s baby didn’t suffer at all, right?!”

Purple Summers shook her head, “Your departure from the Prosecutor’s Office was your own doing, it has nothing to do with me.”

A bout of bitter bile rose in Jade’s throat, nearly spewing out! With each word, Purple Summers was tearing at her scars, and Jade wished she could pounce on the girl before her and tear her to pieces!

But that was not an option.

Purple Summers was her last hope; she must convince Purple Summers to save her!

“Yes… it was my own doing,” Jade’s hands clenched tightly, suppressing her fury, “Now, I’ve learned my lesson… Purple Summers, you are kind and sensible, you saved Mrs. Farrell’s child, and if you just plead with her, she will surely owe you a favor. You wouldn’t watch me suffer in jail, right?”

Purple Summers couldn’t help but let out a laugh, as Jade Carlson would say anything to save herself, even calling her kind and sensible.

Purple Summers curled her lip, remaining silent, her eyes betraying a hint of mockery.

Jade Carlson was a shrewd person, best at gauging others’ thoughts, or she wouldn’t have become Mrs. Farrell’s assistant.

Seeing Purple Summers’s expression, she knew that Purple wouldn’t reveal anything.

Jade dangled the bait: “Purple Summers, as long as you help me, I can tell you everything I know! Don’t you want to know about your own past? Aren’t you the least bit curious about why you were adopted by the Summers Family?”

Purple Summers thought it over; this seemed somewhat interesting.

“Alright, let’s hear it,” Purple Summers smiled.

Jade said, “Your mother was a friend of Atra Blancs, and after being abandoned by a man, she discovered she was pregnant. Then she sought refuge with Atra Blanc, living at the Summers Family home, where Atra took care of your mother until childbirth. But after you were born, your mother chose to end her own life due to postpartum depression! That’s why Atra Blanc adopted you!”

Purple Summers watched her steadily, her eyes calm and clear, revealing no disturbance.

“Is this the secret you wanted to tell me?” Purple Summers smiled faintly, “This kind of information, anyone could get by asking an old servant of the Summers Family. Using this to bargain with me, isn’t it a bit… lacking in sincerity?”

Jade Carlson said in panic, “I can help you investigate further once I’m out! I will look into it! Your mother’s name, why she separated from your father, I will find out everything for you!”

“In terms of investigating clues, I have more suitable people to do that,” Purple Summers gently shook her head and said calmly, “How about this, my coming here today should not go to waste, I’ll give you one last chance; if your answer satisfies me, I will find a way to get you out.”

Jade immediately said, “As long as you can get me out, I will agree to anything you ask!”

Purple Summers asked her, “How did Suzanne Saunders die?”
