However, Atra Blanc was not one to be nosy. On hearing this, she just smiled slightly.
Purple Sumrs quietly ate her food, ignoring the two people in front of her.
Alexander Sumrs appeared to not care and was too lazy to bother.
With no one to pick up the conversation, the atmosphere beca a bit awkward.
Jade Carlson felt embarrassed and tried to save face by pointing to a stear of crystal shrimp dumplings on the table, saying, “These look really good.”
She turned to Nathaniel Sumrs, who was looking at the nu, and said, “Let’s also get a stear of crystal shrimp dumplings.”
To her surprise, Purple Sumrs, who had been silent until now, suddenly reacted. She looked up with an innocent smile and said, “I always see you two inseparable. You really have a great relationship.”
As her words fell, the air seed to stagnate for a mont.
Nathaniel’s gaze darkened, his face serious, and his deanor cold.
He thought Purple was being sarcastic, as just yesterday she had scolded him—she hated him, despised him, and even thought he was filthy.
No man could remain calm after being described in such a way.
He even felt humiliated.
—Being accused of having an unclear relationship with his wife’s assistant was indeed embarrassing.
Jade, on the other hand, enjoyed being praised in this way. She laughed and replied, “Purple, don’t misunderstand. I’m just good friends with your third brother, and we get along well.”
Even though she denied any ambiguous relationship with Nathaniel, her face showed a flirtatious shyness, like soone who had their secret love exposed, only making her intentions more obvious.
Jade’s expression disgusted Purple Sumrs…
Purple initially wanted to poke at her ex-husband and his mistress but was now disgusted by their reactions. She regretted her loose tongue.
“Indeed, they are really good friends.” Alexander suddenly interrupted with a casual, laid-back tone, “Is that dress you’re wearing a gift from my third brother, Ms. Carlson?”
Jade shyly nodded her head.
Alexander laughed, “My third brother has a very good sense of Ms. Carlson’s size, just like a good friend would.”
Jade’s smile suddenly froze on her lips, her face gradually turning pale…
She didn’t expect Alexander to be so blunt.
Most people she encountered, like Dylan Sumrs, would pretend to be ignorant even if they knew sothing, avoiding awkwardness between both parties.
Jade believed that this was a gentlemanly quality that all n should possess.
Alexander’s outstanding appearance had led her to mistakenly think he was one of those gentlen.
In reality, he was a scoundrel!
Nathaniel remained silent, his face tight and gloomy.
“Have you finished eating?” Alexander casually asked his sister, patting her head. “If you’re done, let’s go ho. It’s not comfortable for others if you keep sitting here like a lightbulb.”
Purple Sumrs agreed readily, nodding her head, “Yes, I’m done!”
For the first ti, she realized that Alexander’s sharp tongue had a lovely side!
Atra Blanc felt the atmosphere was strange. She followed the siblings and stood up, giving Nathaniel and Jade an awkward smile. “Well… we’ll leave now, you two enjoy your al.”
One by one, the three left the private room.
Purple’s steps were almost cheerful as if she couldn’t wait to get away from sothing unpleasant in the room.
Nathaniel’s face grew increasingly gloomy.
Embarrassed, annoyed, and a little depressed…
He knew that he shouldn’t care about a little girl’s opinion, especially if she was only distantly related to him.
However, his feelings seed to have a mind of their own, and no matter how he tried to rationalize it, he still felt suffocated and frustrated.
Jade whispered beside him, “What kind of people are they? The daughter is an extortionist, and the son is so uncouth…”
Having suffered at the hands of Purple before, Jade now held a grudge against Alexander for his biting remarks, blaming it all on Purple.
“Did you see that dress she was wearing? It’s a Luxe Velvet tight-fitting slit dress, sothing only the wealthy and prestigious can get. No wonder she dared to extort 300 thousand, she must have hooked up with soone powerful… At such a young age, she’s already a lost cause, just like her vixen mother…”
Jade was still preoccupied with the expensive dress, her eyes green with envy.
Nathaniel listened and felt even more uncomfortable.
He should have loathed Purple, but instead of feeling relieved when he heard Jade’s complaints, he felt even more frustrated….
