“Although it’s somewhat presumptuous of me, I believe I heard you worrying about hiring a lawyer just now.”
Purple Summers slowly stood up, the hem of her tight-fitting slit dress swaying like enchanting waves, her steps shone radiantly.
“Why not try contacting Prominence Law Firm? They will satisfy you,” Purple Summers said with a smile.
To make such a suggestion to someone she had just met was quite abrupt.
However, Purple Summers was beautiful, particularly with her refined demeanor. One would easily forgive a beautiful person.
Henry Jameson took it to mean that the young girl was inexperienced yet well-intentioned and didn’t take her seriously.
What could a child understand about lawsuits?
He was a gentleman and wouldn’t make someone uncomfortable with his response. He nodded politely, “Thank you.”
Nathaniel Summers, on the other hand, was a bit embarrassed. He explained, “Purple, Mr. Jameson has already consulted many law firms. Rainier Law Firm is number one in the industry. Apart from any unforeseen circumstances, we would have lawyers from Rainier Law Firm take on the case, and Aunt Jade will also help.”
What he implied was there was no need to mention the unfamiliar Prominence Law Firm again, lest they become a laughing stock.
Purple Summers didn’t look at Nathaniel. She quietly watched Henry Jameson and saw the coldness in his eyes. She knew that Henry didn’t take her words seriously.
Although Purple Summers did have her own agenda, she genuinely wanted to help Henry Jameson.
When Henry Jameson saw her earlier, he was captivated for a moment, but it was merely admiration, without any blatant violation, showing that he was not a man driven by lust.
She believed that Henry Jameson didn’t assault the student, and in the judicial judgment, she hoped that he would be treated fairly.
Henry Jameson bid Nathaniel farewell: “When Ms. Carlson returns, notify me by phone. Sorry for the intrusion today.”
Purple Summers took two steps forward. She said: “Mr. Jameson, I have to be blunt. As the anti-bullying law has just been introduced, all cases involving a minor’s interest are closely examined by the courts. Jade Carlson has just been promoted and your case is a significant problem for her. She won’t genuinely help you and will mainly look to reconcile the issue, urging you to settle it with money.”
The young girl looked solemn and firm, her tone decisive as if she was very experienced in dealing with such matters.
If someone else had said those words, Henry Jameson might have believed them. But when a sixteen-year-old girl said them, he couldn’t help but find it amusing.
Worried that Henry Jameson might take Purple Summers’s words seriously, Nathaniel sternly said, “Purple, don’t be ridiculous. Aunt Jade is a prosecutor. She will offer the best solution. You shouldn’t discredit Aunt Jade to recommend other lawyers!”
After saying that, he quietly explained to Henry Jameson, “Purple is going to study at Grey in September. I hope you won’t be bothered…”
Henry Jameson was a teacher at Grey. Nathaniel suggested that Purple was only saying such outrageous things to gain Henry Jameson’s favor.
Anyone else would think likewise. After all, would anyone believe a teenage girl?
Purple Summers felt regretful. She should have found another opportunity. Now that Nathaniel interfered, it would be challenging to make things work.
Henry Jameson was not a narrow-minded man. Upon hearing it, he simply nodded, stating, “Children will inevitably have their fair share of ambitions.”
Purple Summers sighed, “Mr. Jameson, if no lawyer is willing to take your case, it means the chances of winning are meager. That’s why those around you would suggest a mediation. But once you opt for mediation, people will assume that you are guilty and owe an apology to the others. This will ruin your reputation, and your parents will be affected too. You absolutely must not settle this case; you need to face the law in court confidently.”
“Nathaniel, your sister knows quite a lot, she’s very astute,” Henry Jameson lightly praised Purple Summers with a smile.
He referred to Purple Summers as astute rather than intelligent, signifying that he also believed Purple was trying to seize this opportunity to impress..
