Fortunate to Have You This Lifetime - Chapter 429
Chapter 429: Chapter 429: Mysterious Scene l
It couldn’t have been Nathaniel Summers who invited her.
At the last banquet, rumors had already spread, and Nathaniel Summers, to avoid suspicion, had already stopped interacting with Jade Carlson.
Of course, at least that was the case on the surface, as for whether the two of them continued to secretly conspire behind the scenes, Purple Summers had no way of knowing.
Purple Summers saw the noblewoman holding swaddling clothes in her arms and felt curious, who would bring a child to a banquet?
“What connections has Jade Carlson climbed onto now?” Purple Summers wondered suspiciously, “Is she up to more mischief?”
Jade Carlson must have seen her just now, so why did she look so calm?
The calmer it appeared on the surface, the more likely it was that dirt was hidden underneath, Purple Summers thought she should be more vigilant.
She stood with Jane McCain and Zara Jameson to one side, watching Dylan Summers eagerly welcome the noblewoman’s entourage into the banquet hall.
Purple Summers asked Jane McCain, “Who is that woman?”
“Your big brother is really impressive to be able to invite Mrs. Farrell,” Jane McCain first said in shock, then explained in detail to Purple Summers, “Mrs. Farrell is the wife of the secretary to the governor of Wheatley, but she is renowned not because she is married to the governor’s secretary, but because she is a representative figure of the Huaya women’s rights movement! She’s been interviewed by Global Era, very impressive!”
Purple Summers didn’t know who Jane McCain was talking about at first, but once Jane mentioned women’s rights, it clicked, “Oh, you mean Camilla Farrell… She looks different from the photos in the news.”
In the news photos, Camilla Farrell carried a cold and sharp brow, with her red lips slightly pursed, exuding an aura of a smart and capable strong woman.
But that noblewoman just now appeared gentle and graceful, elegant and reserved, lacking any fierce demeanor, with only some faint resemblance in her facial features.
“It’s quite normal for Mrs. Farrell to change her attire and demeanor now that she has upgraded to a mother, maternal love overflowing,” Jane McCain said, “She had her baby well into her forties and is so protective of the child that she takes the baby everywhere.”
“No wonder just now there were so many people…” Zara Jameson murmured, “They looked like assistants, nannies, and bodyguards.”
Purple Summers pondered thoughtfully.
Looking at it this way, Camilla Farrell had absolutely no connection with the Summers family and had no reason to attend the Summers family’s spring banquet; yet, judging from Dylan Summers’ expression just now, he was not at all surprised, which was very strange.
Could this be another trick of Jade Carlson’s?
Jane McCain said, “Mrs. Farrell definitely doesn’t like Max staying in the banquet hall; she finds small animals carry too many germs. Purple, quickly take us to where you live, I haven’t seen it yet.”
Purple Summers came back to reality and agreed with a smile.
In fact, Purple Summers’ guess was correct, Jade Carlson had indeed meddled in this affair.
Camilla Farrell was a well-known advocate for the women’s rights movement, abhorring gender discrimination and inequality the most. Jade Carlson catered to her interests by joining the charity organization founded by Camilla Farrell, actively participating, and claimed she had been treated unfairly.
Her three-year internship was because her boss had given the promotion spot to a male colleague.
Her handle on the serial murder case resulted in a miscarriage of justice because she was scapegoated for the attorney general.
Her resignation from the Prosecutor’s Office was because she faced sexual harassment.
Jade Carlson’s tragic experiences immediately caught Camilla Farrell’s attention, and out of sympathy and admiration for Jade Carlson, Camilla Farrell brought Jade Carlson to work as her assistant, specifically to coordinate and manage the charity organization’s affairs.
And the reason for coming to the Summers family banquet this time was also because Jade Carlson hinted several times that the Summers family had many precious paintings.
Camilla Farrell was an art aficionado.
Jade Carlson also called Dylan Summers to tell him that the wife of the secretary to the governor would be in Clearwater City these days, and if she wasn’t invited to the spring banquet, wouldn’t it be a bit inappropriate? Back when the secretary to the governor was in the Ministry of Justice, he had done favors for Dylan Summers.
Dylan Summers took the hint.
On one hand, someone was keen to curry favor, and on the other hand, it was just pushing the boat with the current, thus Purple Summers witnessed the unexpected occurrence: Mrs. Farrell, a person unrelated by eight degrees, came to the Summers family banquet..
