âAfter the newlyweds proposed a toast, Ms. Foster deliberately remarked that Young Master Forrester had smiled at Ms. Summers, creating the illusion that they knew each other behind the scenes. Thus, even after the incident, if people discovered that Ms. Summers had been drugged, they would only assume she had secret dealings with Young Master Forrester and not question where the drug came from.â
Lester paused, then continued, âThe drug would take half an hour to take effect, so Ms. Foster waited until the dance begun to request Ms. Summers to deliver hangover tea to you. What she handed over, however, was a key card to Young Master Forresterâs room. Ms. Summers went to his room but didnât go in. She threw the hangover tea into the trash and left the card at the room entrance, thus smoothly extricating herself.â
Gavin Gravesâ lips held a faint smile as he said, âLester, you seem to admire Ms. Summers.â
Lester considered this, then replied, âMs. Summers is very kind.â
Gavin asked, âKind? Shouldnât you be praising her for being clever?â
Bella Fosterâs schemes were layered and complex, yet Purple Summers was able to deduce her actions from her odd behavior and strike back. Gavin thought she was very smart.
Lester responded with a laugh, âI have seen many clever people while working with Young Master, those more cunning and meticulous than Ms. Summers are quite numerous. But I have yet to meet someone as kind as her.â
In this day and age, kindness often means loss, indifference, and stupidity.
Kindness has become a derogatory term.
When Lester called Purple Summers kind, he sincerely admired her.
He recounted to Gavin about what happened between Purple Summers and Yolanda Summers at the stairway.
âMs. Summers is an adopted daughter in the Summers Family. I was in their house once, and noticed that Miss Summers was living alone in a small building in the garden. She apparently doesnât get along with the rest of the Summers Family. She could have just watched from the sidelines when this happened, but she drew attention to the consequences, thus preventing Yolanda from getting into trouble.â
Gavin mused, âAt such a young age, she can put aside grudges in difficult situations, not kick someone when theyâre down, and is so open-minded. Thatâs really admirable.â
Typical sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls, when faced with such incidents, would probably be scared witless, let alone analyze the pros and cons for others.
Her composure signifies wisdom; her calm retaliation shows courage; and her willingness to set aside past grievances indicates her magnanimity and long-term consideration.
Coming across such a girl, Gavin was somewhat moved.
Bella Foster always assumed that Gavin preferred mature women, but she misunderstood the meaning of maturity.
Maturity isnât about physical development or wearing heavy makeup. Itâs about demeanor. Some people are born with this demeanor, while others need to weather the storm and endure the test of time to gradually develop it. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Gavin recalled Purpleâs age, which was only a year younger than Bella Foster. If he could accept Bella as his female companion, why did he consider Purple childish?
Perhaps it was her cuteness?
Gavin smiled knowingly.
After the engagement banquet ended, Jane McCain was wary. She watched Gavin leave the banquet alone and rushed to tell Purple Summers, âBella Foster is in trouble! Young Master Graves left alone and didnât take her with him!â
As a female companion, she was supposed to arrive and leave with him. Gavinâs departure alone suggested that Bella Foster had definitely gotten into trouble.
Jane gloated, âYoung Master Graves must have seen her disgrace herself. Serves her right! Letâs see if she dares to harm others next time.â
Zara Jameson was a little worried, looking at Purple, she asked, âWonât Young Master Graves vent his anger on us?â
Purple innocently shrugged, âBella Foster was the one who drugged the drink and went to the groom-to-beâs room. All we did was return the cup.â
If they still got blamed after doing this, she could only give in!
Jane, who never missed an opportunity to stir the pot, joked, âYoung Master Graves even considered promoting Purple to stardom previously, how could he bear to vent his anger? On the contrary, heâs probably too busy sympathizing with her, haha!â
