Chapter 600: Chapter 598: 598 Goodnight Baby_1

…Make a phone call? To whom?

Jade Carlson was stunned, looking down at her phone screen, where the contact list showed the name Purple Summers!

She was confused. This matter had nothing to do with Purple Summers, so why did Nathaniel Summers want her to tell Purple?

“Nathaniel, if this gets out, those people won’t let me off…” Jade Carlson hesitated.

Nathaniel Summers smiled, took the phone back, dialed another number, and handed it to her, “Then make this call, how about that?”

The phone screen glaringly showed the emergency number.

Jade Carlson’s back went cold, and she dared not harbor a sliver of hope, her voice trembling, “I’ll make the call… I’ll call Purple Summers…”

Jade Carlson dialed Purple Summers’s number.

From the phone came the monotonous ringing: Beep—Beep—

Time trickled away, each ring of waiting felt unbearably long.

For a long time, no one answered the call.

Jade Carlson cautiously looked at Nathaniel, “Maybe… maybe she’s already asleep…”

Nathaniel Summers knew that Purple Summers was not at home tonight.

And Alexander Summers was not there either.

Just the thought of these two people, possibly sharing a bed right now, even becoming physically intimate, made Nathaniel’s heart feel as if it had been slashed open, oozing with pus of hatred!

He hated them so much!

What had he done wrong? Why was he being treated like this!

“If the call doesn’t go through, keep calling!” Nathaniel Summers said with hatred in his voice, “Call until she answers the phone!”

Jade Carlson, panicked and frightened, dialed Purple Summers’s number a second time after getting no response.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

This time, Purple Summers finally picked up the call.

Her voice was filled with heavy drowsiness, as if she was still not fully awake from her sleep, “…Hello?”

“Purple, Purple Summers.” Jade Carlson swallowed nervously, her voice shaking, “I… I have something I need to tell you.”

“…Jade Carlson?” Purple Summers became a bit more alert; her tone was one of surprise, as she had not expected Jade Carlson to call her in the middle of the night.

Purple Summers asked suspiciously, “What’s the matter?”

“You were investigating Suzanne Saunders’s death before, weren’t you?” Jade Carlson said, “You guessed right, she was murdered, I… I tampered with her medicine, it wasn’t the medicine from Nathaniel Summers, I switched it!”

“Who told you to switch the medicine?” Purple Summers’s sleepiness was completely gone, she sat up from bed and demanded, “Why are you suddenly telling me this?”

“It was—” Jade Carlson was about to speak when there seemed to be someone instructing her on the other end, but the voice was not clear.

Purple Summers furrowed her brows and pressed, “Jade Carlson? …Hello, hello?”

“Purple Summers, do you really want to know? Come to the Summers Residence now, and I’ll tell you face to face.” Jade Carlson suddenly changed her tone, “It’s unclear over the phone.”

Having said that, she hung up the call.

Purple Summers held the phone that had ended the call, staying in a daze for a long while before snapping back to reality.

Alexander Summers asked her what was wrong.

“Jade Carlson called me, said she had something to tell me.” Purple Summers murmured in confusion, “Strange… why would she suddenly tell me this? Could something have happened…”

Alexander Summers’s deep black eyes fixed on her, asking, “Oh, did she say what it was?”

“She said it wasn’t clear over the phone, and that I should go back to the Summers Residence now.” Purple Summers felt the matter was very unusual, “Jade Carlson must be in trouble.”

“Go back to sleep, she’s at the Summers Residence, she can’t get away anyway.” Alexander Summers gently stroked her hair, saying lightly, “We can go back tomorrow and ask her.”

Purple Summers thought for a moment, nodded, and lay back down to sleep.

It was too late now, and the mansion was particularly far from the city, it would be two in the morning by the time she got back, better to ask tomorrow.

After all, Jade Carlson was eager to marry into the Summers family, she definitely wouldn’t run away.

Alexander Summers wrapped Purple Summers in his arms, kissed the top of her head, and whispered softly, “Goodnight, baby.”

Purple Summers smiled, pinching his cheek, “Goodnight, sweetheart.”

Alexander Summers chuckled.

But after the laughter, a subtle shade of melancholy flickered in the depth of his eyes.
