Purple Summers and Norman Douglas went to the next room.
Fortunately, Prominence Law Firm had been busier recently, and the office had expanded significantly, providing enough meeting rooms for them to choose from.
Upon entering the room, Norman found a place to sit down, and with a tone that seemed to praise but was also somewhat sarcastic, he said, âMs. Summers is quite skilled. At such a young age, she not only knows the prosecutor but also knows lawyers and is friendly with the womenâs federation.â
He sneered, âWhat other tactics have I not seen from you?â
âMr. Douglas seems very resentful,â Purple Summers said with a smile, sitting down.
âYou instigated my wife to divorce me, causing me and my daughter to be estranged. If this were ancient times, this would be an irreconcilable enmity, right?â Norman said. âNot only that, but you actually want to take half of my property. Is that your ultimate goal, Ms. Summers?â
Norman looked at Purple Summers coldly, only feeling in his heart how could such a pure and gentle girl be so malicious? Twisting her brain to tear apart someone elseâs family, did she feel a great sense of achievement?
He didnât believe that Riley Montgomery truly wanted to divorce him. His wife was gentle and easily influenced, she must have been instigated!
And everything Purple Summers did, was very likely for money.
âYou have misunderstood, Mr. Douglas,â Purple Summers said. âWe do not intend to take your property. In fact, Ms. Montgomery is willing to leave without taking anything, but considering her financial situation, the divorce agreement will demand a higher child support, plus compensationâ¦â
âWhat compensation?â Norman asked.
âIt seems Mr. Douglas hasnât read the divorce agreementâs clauses carefully.â
Indeed, Norman hadnât read it carefullyâhe had become so enraged at just the first few clauses. Moreover, he had never planned to get a divorce, so it didnât matter if he read the agreement!
âAfter Riley Montgomery married into the Douglas Family, due to your protection and indulgence, she indirectly lost two children. Mr. Douglas, you bear inescapable responsibility. This compensation is definitely indispensable,â Purple Summers calmly replied.
âBecause of my protection?⦠My indulgence?â Norman was indignant. âMs. Summers, we must speak with evidence! The loss of the children grieves me too! Iâve investigated, and it truly was an accident!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âIs a baseball shattering glass an accident too?â Purple Summers asked him. âMr. Douglas, are you deliberately hiding this incident to protect someone?â
Norman was taken aback for a moment, then his face turned dark.
âYes, it was an accident! At that time, I was with my son practicing baseball. When I hit the ball, I didnât control the angle well and unintentionally shattered the glass. But that doesnât prove anything. I surely wouldnât want to harm my own child, would I?â Normanâs face was stern as he spoke coldly, âI never wanted to hide it on purpose. Itâs just that I didnât want to cause a misunderstanding with the police, so I didnât mention it!â
Purple Summers smiled faintly, âI heard the young master is very smart. He passed his piano exams and his English exams, yet despite spending the longest time on baseball, he hasnât made much progress, having difficulty even hitting the ball. Mr. Douglas, donât you think thatâs strange?â
âWhat are you trying to say?â Norman frowned, looking at Purple Summers.
âIs it possible that you were actually led astray at that time?â Purple Summersâs smile was light and suggestive, âWhile playing with your son, constantly adjusting angles to match him, and finally, you successfully hit the ball into the window. It must be said, Young Master Douglas is indeed the smartest child I have ever seenâ¦â
âYou!â¦â Norman suddenly stood up, glaring at Purple Summers. âMs. Summers! My son is only eight years old. Donât you think your accusation is a bit too vile? Is my son a devil?!â
âOf course, heâs not a devil,â Purple Summers said calmly, her voice gentle. âHe neither understands the value of life nor knows what evil is. He just wants his motherâs love.â
The evil people are not to be feared, but rather, those who do not know what evil is.
