Nathaniel Summersâ advice was met with Purple Summersâ silence.
In fact, Purple originally had no presence in the Summers family. Although she and Nathaniel shared a sibling bond, they hardly spoke a word to each other throughout the year.
Nathaniel didnât know why, but recently, he couldnât help but notice his little sister.
He looked at the girl in front of him.
She was beautiful. After washing off her heavy makeup, her skin was white and lustrous like a delicately carved doll. Everything about her was exquisite, especially her gem-like dark eyes that seemed to absorb the sunâs brilliance, shining with every glance.
A gentle breeze blew, swaying the flowering branches behind her, creating an enchanting beauty.
Nathanielâs mind wandered momentarily, as if he saw a familiar shadow on her.
âBrother,â she said softly, her voice calm, âI should get going.â
Nathaniel was awakened from his fantasy.
âPurple, donât be stubborn,â he advised, assuming a brotherly demeanor. âItâs Lauraâs fault this happened to you. Big brother has promised to make it up to you, and Laura can apologize too. But going to Greyâs school is impossible. Aunt Jade will come to discuss the mediation with your mother.â
Purple didnât want to listen to him, but when he mentioned Jade Carlson, she couldnât help but stop.
ââ¦Jade Carlson?â Purple was somewhat perplexed. âSheâs just an intern and has no right to intervene in a case investigation.â
âShe is now a prosecutor,â Nathaniel looked at her as if she were an ignorant child. âProsecutors have the power to decide on initiating, launching, and terminating criminal investigations. What happened to you is merely a security issue. Aunt Jade will not initiate a case investigation.â
Upon hearing this, Purple murmured, âJade Carlson worked as an assistant for three years. After my sister-in-law died, she became a prosecutor?â¦â
Nathanielâs face changed, looking uncomfortable at her connecting these two incidents.
Nathaniel said sternly, âAccording to the regulations, after graduation from the Judicial Training Institute, one will intern in the Prosecutorâs Office for one to three years. After the internship, they become a formal prosecutor. Aunt Jade has already completed her three-year internship. Becoming a prosecutor is perfectly reasonable. Purple, donât say such things in the future.â
Purple listened to Nathanielâs rebuttal for Jade and laughed softly, âBrother, although Iâm young, I know a thing or two about the Prosecutorâs Office. Jade interned under my sister-in-law, and without her nomination, how could she have been promoted?â
Not waiting for Nathaniel to respond, she continued, âThere were not only Jade interned under my sister-in-law. Others were promoted after two years. Why did my sister-in-law always suppress her application?â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Nathaniel finally looked away, his gaze at Purple becoming one of unfamiliarity.
Purpleâs mouth curled up with an innocent smile, yet her eyes displayed a sharp edge. âBecause Jade Carlsonâs capabilities were insufficient to become a prosecutor. Even after interning for three years, she could only be an assistant! Brother, Iâm not afraid of Jade Carlson, and I donât care about Lauraâs apology. Grey, Iâve decided to go.â
âGrey, Iâm going.
Nathaniel watched Purple walk away, rendered speechless by her words.
At that moment, Purple unexpectedly paused and turned back, revealing a mocking smile.
âOh, by the way, brother, are you sitting here to reminisce about my sister-in-law?â
Nathaniel couldnât understand why she abruptly asked him this.
Purpleâs eyes were cold and unhurried. âAt least⦠you should wipe off the lipstick mark on your neck before reminiscing, right?â
Nathanielâs face instantly turned pale!
He hurriedly and awkwardly wiped his neck, and by the time he looked up again, Purpleâs figure had long disappearedâ¦
