The paper bag contained a brand new womenâs suit jacket.
âThank you.â Purple Summers took it, immediately taking off her school uniform jacket and replacing it with the clothes inside.
After that, she took out her prepared eyebrow pencil and other makeup products, and applied her makeup in the car. With just a few strokes, her eyebrows became sharp and her entire demeanor matured.
Marcel Jefferson, who was driving, felt a kind of excitement, as if he were about to go to battle.
âWhatâs our strategy for today?â
âJust watch her make a fool of herself.â Purple Summers smiled.
âHuh?â Marcel Jefferson glanced at Purple Summers through the rearview mirror. She looked calm, showing no signs of nervousness.
On the contrary, it was him, sweating non-stop from his palms.
He had been in court before, but never felt this nervous. Marcel Jefferson was ashamed, feeling like he was inferior to a child.
â¦But Purple Summers was no ordinary child.
âJust watch. Jade Carlson will definitely make a lot of preparations to make a big splash. Sheâll bring out witnesses and evidence one by one to show off her ability, deepening the publicâs impression of her.â
âWonât that be troublesome for us?â Marcel Jefferson worried.
The only evidence they had was a doctored video, and nothing else.
Purple Summers leaned back, comfortably resting on the back seat of the car, and smiled, âMy dear Mr. Jefferson, instead of worrying about the trouble later, start thinking now about how to speak when facing the press after itâs over.â âOh? Will the press interview me?â Marcel Jefferson was excited, practicing his lines while driving, ââ¦Iâm very happy that the court made the fairest judgment, and Iâm very grateful for everyoneâs attention to this case⦠Is this a bit too rigid? We wonât let any criminals go, nor will we wrongfully convict any good person!⦠This doesnât seem fitting either⦠â
As Marcel Jefferson rambled on, Purple Summers closed her eyes and took a short nap.
âThis was her habit, taking a quick nap for about fifteen minutes before every court session.
Marcel Jefferson saw that she seemed to be resting and lowered his volume, but he couldnât control his excitement, his face full of expressions.
As the car approached the court, they encountered an issueâa rally from an unknown source was demonstrating in front of the courthouse!
The crowd held eye-catching banners, all of which contained phrases such as âPunish the Sinnersâ or âJustice Will Prevail.â Security guards and bailiffs were working hard to maintain order, with the scene being boisterous.
Purple Summers was awakened by the noise and frowned, âWho are they?â
âItâs Nana Roweâs mother, the president of Kaitland Electronics Company.â Marcel Jefferson said, âEver since she found out we were going to defend Caspian Maple as innocent, she has been rallying on the internet⦠She also demonstrated outside my office building. Alas, sheâs Jade Carlsonâs number one fan now.â
The two of them parked the car and headed to the courthouse. As they went, people in the crowd recognized Marcel Jefferson, causing a commotion. One of them even tried to rush towards Marcel Jefferson but was forcibly stopped by a bailiff.
At this moment, two objects suddenly whizzed through the air!
Purple Summersâ quick reflexes took over as she grabbed Marcel Jeffersonâs arm and yanked him to the side!
Smack! Smack!
Eggs shattered on the ground, the sticky egg splattering everywhere.
Marcel Jefferson gasped.
Though being hit by an egg wouldnât kill or injure him, it would disgust him. If he walked into the courtroom with egg all over his face, it was clear how that would affect his composure.
âThankyouâ¦â Marcel Jefferson snapped back to reality and thanked Purple Summers.
Purple Summers patted his shoulder, âLetâs go in. Donât worry about it, Iâve been hit with rocks before.â
Marcel Jefferson was astonished:
