The paper bag contained a brand new women’s suit jacket.
“Thank you.” Purple Summers took it, immediately taking off her school uniform jacket and replacing it with the clothes inside.
After that, she took out her prepared eyebrow pencil and other makeup products, and applied her makeup in the car. With just a few strokes, her eyebrows became sharp and her entire demeanor matured.
Marcel Jefferson, who was driving, felt a kind of excitement, as if he were about to go to battle.
“What’s our strategy for today?”
“Just watch her make a fool of herself.” Purple Summers smiled.
“Huh?” Marcel Jefferson glanced at Purple Summers through the rearview mirror. She looked calm, showing no signs of nervousness.
On the contrary, it was him, sweating non-stop from his palms.
He had been in court before, but never felt this nervous. Marcel Jefferson was ashamed, feeling like he was inferior to a child.
…But Purple Summers was no ordinary child.
“Just watch. Jade Carlson will definitely make a lot of preparations to make a big splash. She’ll bring out witnesses and evidence one by one to show off her ability, deepening the public’s impression of her.”
“Won’t that be troublesome for us?” Marcel Jefferson worried.
The only evidence they had was a doctored video, and nothing else.
Purple Summers leaned back, comfortably resting on the back seat of the car, and smiled, “My dear Mr. Jefferson, instead of worrying about the trouble later, start thinking now about how to speak when facing the press after it’s over.” “Oh? Will the press interview me?” Marcel Jefferson was excited, practicing his lines while driving, “…I’m very happy that the court made the fairest judgment, and I’m very grateful for everyone’s attention to this case… Is this a bit too rigid? We won’t let any criminals go, nor will we wrongfully convict any good person!… This doesn’t seem fitting either… ”
As Marcel Jefferson rambled on, Purple Summers closed her eyes and took a short nap.
—This was her habit, taking a quick nap for about fifteen minutes before every court session.
Marcel Jefferson saw that she seemed to be resting and lowered his volume, but he couldn’t control his excitement, his face full of expressions.
As the car approached the court, they encountered an issue—a rally from an unknown source was demonstrating in front of the courthouse!
The crowd held eye-catching banners, all of which contained phrases such as “Punish the Sinners” or “Justice Will Prevail.” Security guards and bailiffs were working hard to maintain order, with the scene being boisterous.
Purple Summers was awakened by the noise and frowned, “Who are they?”
“It’s Nana Rowe’s mother, the president of Kaitland Electronics Company.” Marcel Jefferson said, “Ever since she found out we were going to defend Caspian Maple as innocent, she has been rallying on the internet… She also demonstrated outside my office building. Alas, she’s Jade Carlson’s number one fan now.”
The two of them parked the car and headed to the courthouse. As they went, people in the crowd recognized Marcel Jefferson, causing a commotion. One of them even tried to rush towards Marcel Jefferson but was forcibly stopped by a bailiff.
At this moment, two objects suddenly whizzed through the air!
Purple Summers’ quick reflexes took over as she grabbed Marcel Jefferson’s arm and yanked him to the side!
Smack! Smack!
Eggs shattered on the ground, the sticky egg splattering everywhere.
Marcel Jefferson gasped.
Though being hit by an egg wouldn’t kill or injure him, it would disgust him. If he walked into the courtroom with egg all over his face, it was clear how that would affect his composure.
“Thankyou…” Marcel Jefferson snapped back to reality and thanked Purple Summers.
Purple Summers patted his shoulder, “Let’s go in. Don’t worry about it, I’ve been hit with rocks before.”
Marcel Jefferson was astonished:
