â¦Was she being paranoid?
Just because Alexander Summers treated her differently from others?
Purple Summers still doubted Alexander, but at the same time, she felt that she shouldnât miss other suspicious people just because she doubted him.
She pondered quietly, her mood heavy.
Zack Wallace anxiously went to find Alexander Summers.
The meeting was not yet over. Zack carefully walked in and came to Alexanderâ s side in a few steps, whispering, âMaster Xander, Ms. Summers is hereâ¦â
Zack concisely explained Purpleâs unusual behavior to Alexander.
Alexanderâs face darkened slightly, and then he stood up, calmly saying, âEveryone continue. I have a matter to attend to for a moment.â
He went back to the office with Zack, but Purple was not there.
âWhere is she?â Zack asked anxiously, questioning the bodyguard at the door.
The bodyguard said Ms. Summers had just left.
Zack looked at Alexander, âSir, should we chase after her?â
Alexander frowned, didnât say anything, took a cigarette out of the cigarette case, and lit it up. With the smoke around him, his eyebrows were shadowed with gloom.
Zack carefully observed Alexanderâs expression, feeling uneasy.
Alexander said indifferently, âShe wonât give up until she finds the truth. Thatâs just her character.â
He took a puff of the cigarette, blew out the lingering smoke, and added, âYou arrange it for her to find a result, so she doesnât have to worry about this matter all the time.â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âSir, do you mean toâ¦â Zack hesitated.
âLetâs choose Old Ninth.â Alexanderâs face was obscured behind the light smoke, âHe was just assassinated last month, and he happened to be in Clearwater in August. Heâs the best choice.â
Upon hearing this, Zack showed a doubtful expression on his face.
Alexander put the cigarette in the purple bronze ashtray, raising his eyebrows and looking at him, âWhatâs the matter? Is there a problem?â
Zackâs gaze was a bit evasive, and he lowered his head and said, âNo problem. I just suddenly remembered a sayingâ¦â
âWhat saying?â Alexander asked.
Zack carefully replied, âI heard from others that there must not be deception between men and women. If you deceive, you must do it for life. Otherwiseâ¦â
He stopped suddenly, fearing that he would annoy Alexander and raised a sycophantic smile. ââ¦Sir, Iâm afraid Ms. Summers will be angry with you if she finds out.â
Who would want to live in a lie? Just like in a Truman Show, even though the people around you meant well, sometimes deception itself was enough to cause hatred.
Alexander was silent for a long time, his eyes deep and quiet.
âThen let her never find out.â He said.
At dinner, Purple told Atra Blanc that she needed to go out for a few days because of the club activities at school.
The final exams were over, and Atra was willing to let her daughter go out to relax, but she was a little worried when she learned the activities were out of town.
âWhy not let your brother go with you?â Atra tentatively asked.
âMom, all the other students are going by themselves. It would be so embarrassing if I brought my family.â Purple glanced at Alexander next to her, then added, âAnd my brother has work. Heâs really busy.â
She wasnât worried about Atra, but she was afraid Alexander would interfere and not let her go.
Unexpectedly, Alexander didnât object, saying, âCall home to report your safety after arriving there, and when you are about to come back, let me know in advance. Iâll come to pickyou up.â
He even gently rubbed her head, making Purple shiver, feeling that Alexanderâs sudden display of humanity was awkward.
The following day, Purple packed a few change of clothes and daily necessities, carrying her backpack, and went to Clearwater Cityâs train station.
Aria Jackson was waiting for her at the station and waved to her from a distance.
Although she had already heard the news over the phone, Aria still showed a slight shock on her face when she saw Purple. She asked, âIs the news true? How could the body be there?â
