Once a similar video is found, it would prove that this video is fake. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

There would be a significant turnaround in Caspian Maple’s case!

Marcel Jefferson suddenly felt confident and made an encouraging gesture! – “Great! Starting today, we’11 work overtime to watch the videos!”

Two months, sixty dusks’ worth of footage. Apart from the ones with people and cars passing by, as well as rainy, cloudy, and windy days, there were still more than twenty similar videos left.

What followed was like the most difficult game of spotting differences. Marcel Jefferson gathered everyone in the company, even the receptionist, to search for identical videos together.

Purple Summers attended classes as usual during the day, and after school, she went to Prominence Law Firm to check on the search progress.

Not only was this work physically demanding, but it also tested their endurance and attention to detail. Each video was 120 minutes long, requiring them to compare frame by frame, second by second. Some videos even needed to be watched multiple times.

The court hearing was getting closer, and although Marcel Jefferson deliberately kept a low profile, the news that Prominence Law Firm would be defending Caspian Maple as not guilty still spread.

For a time, there was a lot of abuse online.

Some people said Marcel Jefferson received a huge commission from the Maple family, while others said that Prominence Law Firm was just trying to attract attention. Marcel Jefferson’s ancestors for eighteen generations were insulted, and the Law Firm’s phones were constantly ringing with nothing but abuse on the other end.

Under such pressure, several more people left the firm one after another, leaving only one inexperienced lawyer, an accountant, and the receptionist.

However, Marcel Jefferson was very loyal, persevering without leaking any information about Purple Summers, allowing her to continue attending school in peace.

Before school let out on Thursday, Purple Summers accidentally overheard a conversation in the girls’ restroom.

“Tiffany, are you really not going to the ball this Sunday? It’s so boring without you.”

“I really want to go, but my dad said I can’t miss the family banquet on Sunday, sigh…”

“What kind of family banquet is so important?”

“It’s actually a celebration.” Shelby Carlson said with disdain, “You know the recent serial murder case discussed online?”

“Yeah, the killer is a freak, targeting all five or six-year-old kids. Thank God he’s been caught. I heard the court session is about to take place. I hope he gets the death penalty!”

“Yeah, the court session is on Friday. The person in charge of this case is named Jade Carlson, she’s my dad’s daughter.” Shelby Carlson snorted, “She’s so high and mighty now, I’ll have to call her sister later.”

Purple Summers, who was in the bathroom stall, paused with her hand halfway to the door.

The girl outside gasped in surprise, “She’s really your sister?!”

Shelby Carlson complained, “Yeah, I don’t know which woman’s belly she popped out of, making me call her sister is so disgusting. Ugh, let’s not talk about this, it’s so annoying…”

The girls outside continued talking as they left the restroom.

Purple Summers came out of the stall and washed her hands. As she gazed at her reflection in the mirror, she remained silent for a long time.

She had never expected…

Jade Carlson worked under her, and she had seen her resume. Jade had never mentioned her father in the family section, making Purple assume she came from a single-parent family. Little did she know that her father would be Mayor Carlson.

Purple Summers took out her phone, thinking she should tell Aria Jackson about this.

Just then, Aria Jackson called –

“This Sunday, Mayor Carlson is holding a banquet to celebrate Jade’s success.” Aria Jackson spoke anxiously on the phone, “The director of our police station also received an invitation. Everyone is saying that Jade Carlson is actually the mayor’s daughter!”

“Yeah, I know.” Purple Summers responded.

Aria Jackson was surprised, “You already knew?”

“Yes.” Purple Summers sighed, “Just a minute before you called, I heard Mayor Carlson’s younger daughter say it.”
