Chapter 139: Chapter 139: Sarcastic Remarks

Translator: 549690339

Summer was coming to an end, and the evening breeze carried a slight chill. The roses on either side of the road were in full bloom, and their petals fell like rain, covering the cobblestone path like an exquisite oil painting, winding and enchanting.

Purple Summers walked slowly down the garden path.

The servant cleaning the garden greeted her, “Miss Purple Summers is back.”

Purple replied, “Yes, I just got home, and I see it's quite lively here.”

“The company overcame the crisis, so the third young master is holding a banquet to celebrate. He invited many guests, and even some of our esteemed family elders will attend.”

“Really? That's quite a rare occasion.” Purple said with a smile.

But her heart felt desolate.

Nathaniel Summers had saved the Summers Family company with her insurance payout…

And possibly, the one who had tried to kill her was celebrating at this very feast.

How ironic.

She couldn't think about it, it was unbearable to even consider.

Purple tried to endure silently.

However, sometimes it was true that enemies crossed paths inevitably.

As she walked past a rose bush, Purple encountered Jade Carlson and Laura Summers cutting roses.

They were planning to use the roses to decorate the dance floor. The servants had cut a few bouquets, but Jade was unsatisfied and decided to do it herself.

“You should cut the flower buds that are about to bloom, so by tomorrow, the rose flowers will be just perfect.” Jade, who prided herself on her elegance, was teaching Laura hands-on.

Laura noticed Purple and immediately called out to her with a smile, “Purple, have you been out playing again? I heard that Mr. Jameson is being sued. Didn't you recommend a law firm for him? Aren't you worried? And you still have the leisure to play.”

Her tone was somewhat gleeful over Purple's misfortune.

Jade, holding freshly cut roses in her hands, turned to look at Purple.

Laura, who held a grudge against Purple, seized the opportunity today to continue mocking her, “Some people just lack self-awareness. To curry favor and please others, they should first see if they have the ability to do so. Alas, now that trouble has come, I'm afraid someone will need to help clean up the mess. Aunt Jade, can you please help with Mr. Jameson's case?”

Jade softly replied, “As long as a settlement can be reached before the court hearing, and the other party can be convinced to drop the charges, the situation still has room for improvement.”

Laura immediately said, “Aunt Jade has a solution, unlike certain people who only know how to introduce third-rate law firms, causing further trouble! Oh no, if Mr. Jameson really ends up in jail, Aunt Jameson will surely be heartbroken. When that happens, will she expel certain annoying students upon seeing them? Haha…”

As Laura spoke, she let out a crisp laugh, as if she could already see Purple being denied at the school gate, dejected and pathetic. Laura was overjoyed!

“You're talking so much, aren't you afraid that the wound on your lip will split open?” Purple stood still with a light smile, showing no annoyance, “From a distance, I can still see the scar. Are you sure you can hide it with more lipstick when you meet so many friends and family tomorrow?”

Laura's lips were injured last time, and stitches were sewn on them. The marks were still visible.

Although not obvious, it was a great annoyance for a beauty-conscious young girl!

“Mind your own business!” Laura's laughter turned to a hardened expression, her teeth clenched.

Purple smiled and walked away gracefully.

Jade watched Purple's retreating figure, thinking that she had underestimated her foster daughter. Even now, when things were urgent, Purple remained calm and composed. Could the third-rate law firm she introduced truly handle the case?

If that were the case, wouldn't it make her look incompetent?

Jade worried that there might be twists and turns in the case.

Yet upon further consideration, she found it unlikely.

The settlement proposal she had suggested was the best solution, and now the whole city knew about the case. It was the Jameson Family's foolishness, not her fault.

And Purple's composure just now must have been a deliberate show of strength.

That was what Jade assumed..
