Purple Summers hit Jade Carlson’s sore spot.
Most interns in the Prosecutor’s Office would be promoted after two years, and a few outstanding ones would be promoted in just one year, like Suzanne Saunders once was.
However, Jade Carlson had stayed at her intern position for a full three years.
If it hadn’t been for Suzanne’s accidental death, she would have probably continued to be an intern, as if indirectly telling everyone that she wasn’t good enough and not worthy of becoming a prosecutor.
This was utterly shameful.
And now, an insignificant adopted daughter in the Summers family dared to belittle her and blatantly expose her scars!
Jade Carlson left both furious and embarrassed.
She knew in her heart that she had botched this mediation attempt!
Not only would Dylan Summers not be grateful to her, but he would also blame her for meddling and think she was incompetent!
Jade Carlson couldn’t bear to see things develop this way.
After leaving the Summers Residence, she immediately called Nathaniel Summers.
The phone rang for a while before it was answered, and a tired and hoarse voice came on: “Jade, what’s the matter?”
Jade Carlson told Nathaniel about the mediation.
With a heartbroken tone, she said, “Nathaniel, I never imagined that Purple was going through such a hard time in the Summers family. Even though she’s an adopted daughter, Laura and Yolanda’s actions are really too much, and Dylan never stops them. What’s the difference between this and abuse?”
There was a long silence on Nathaniel’s end.
Jade Carlson continued, “I thought Laura accidentally hurt Purple and agreed to deal with the matter for Dylan, but I never expected that their harm to Purple would be so deep… Nathaniel, I… I’m a prosecutor, and I can’t turn black into white and shield criminal behavior…”
With a deep sigh, she seemed torn between justice and personal relationships.
Nathaniel said, “It’s hard for you, Jade. I’ll talk to Dylan about this.”
Jade Carlson breathed a sigh of relief.
But she also couldn’t let Nathaniel sympathize with Purple.
“For some reason, Purple just won’t listen to advice. She threatened me, saying that if I don’t send her to study with Grey, she’ll publish her diary on the internet, and she said… said…” Jade Carlson deliberately hesitated.
Nathaniel asked her, “What else did she say?”
Jade Carlson spoke in a heavy tone, “She said she wants Sister Suzanne’s Hummer, or she’ll still go to court and sue.”
“What does she want the car for?” Nathaniel was surprised.
Jade Carlson hinted in her words, “A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, it’s inevitable to have some vanity, especially since she was raised by Ms. Blanc, so her character and conduct may be somewhat…”
Jade sighed, “But she’s really too immature. Doesn’t she know that this car was Sister Suzanne’s prized possession when she was alive…”
Nathaniel’s voice indeed became colder, “She’s stirring up nonsense.”
Upon hearing this, the anger and frustration in Jade Carlson’s heart caused by Purple Summers were instantly swept away.
She regained her confidence, and her tone turned gentle again, “Children can be stubborn sometimes, I was wrong to bother you with this at work… Nathaniel, how are you doing over there? How long will it take to come back?”
“It’s a bit tricky… it might be a while.”
“You should take care of your health, don’t work too hard, and relax occasionally…”
After the exchange of some pleasantries, Jade Carlson hung up the phone.
Having gotten rid of the hot potato in her hand, Jade Carlson was in a good mood, but she still felt suffocated when she thought of Purple’s arrogance.
She was just an adopted daughter, even if she was a bit clever, she was still just a lowly adopted daughter. After marrying into the Summers family, there would be plenty of opportunities to deal with her.
With these thoughts in mind, Jade Carlson left with a light step.
That night.
A gentle breeze blew, and the low chirping of insects outside the house highlighted the quietness of the late night.
It would have been a beautiful evening, but Purple Summers was feeling anxious and frightened.
She was afraid that Alexander Summers would come again.
She locked the doors and windows, and after checking them carefully, Purple was still not at ease.
She looked around the room, chose a fairly heavy wooden chair, placed it at the door, and set a vase on top of it.
After all these arrangements, Purple finally breathed a little easier and turned off the lights to sleep.
She thought: Now he definitely won’t be able to get in, right?
