“You called the law firm?” Mrs. Jason beca anxious upon hearing this, “Why didn’t you discuss it with the family first? Did you tell them everything about your brother’s case?!”
Zara Jason nodded.
Mrs. Jason grew more worried, “What if the information gets leaked? What if the law firm spreads it around?!”
Being accused of rape was indeed a scandal. Although there were already whispers in the school, the Jason Family had been very cautious, fearing the commotion and the embarrassnt of facing others.
However, Mr. Jason noticed sothing unusual in the conversation.
“You explained the situation to them thoroughly?” Mr. Jason inquired gravely, “And they still assured you that they could win the case even after knowing your brother’s situation?”
Zara replied, “I used a fake na when I called, and I didn’t reveal my brother’s identity. They said if he’s truly innocent, he just needs to cooperate with their investigation, and they’ll definitely find strong evidence.”
At first, this statent seed innocuous, but upon closer examination, one could see that they were using a provocation tactic.
It was as if not cooperating with their investigation was an indirect admission of guilt.
Zara, still young and provoked, imdiately said that Henry Jason was definitely innocent!
The other party said if he were innocent, there was a 90% chance of winning the case.
“Zara, don’t worry about your brother’s case anymore. He will find a way to reach a settlent with the other party,” said Henry, who had experienced too much disappointnt recently and was feeling numb. He whispered, “Marrying her is impossible, but I can offer more money, or see if she has any other requests… I’ll try to fulfill them.”
“If Chloe Bennett was after money, she would have directly blackmailed him instead of going to court!” Zara yelled angrily, “Brother! Even if there’s only a glimr of hope, we should try!”
“But…if we lose the lawsuit, there won’t be any room for negotiation. Your brother… will go to jail,” Mrs. Jason was torn, her heart in turmoil.
She couldn’t bear to reach a settlent with the woman who had frad her son, but she was also worried about the consequences if they lost the lawsuit.
The seemingly simple two choices in front of them could lead to irreparable damage to the Jason Family if any mistakes were made…
It was Mr. Jason who made the final decision.
“I’ll call Prominence Law Firm. If they’re scamrs, we’ll drop the matter,” Mr. Jason announced firmly.
“And if they’re not scamrs?” Zara asked.
Mr. Jason was silent for a mont, then said word by word, “If they can really win the case, it would be a lifesaving favor for our Jason Family!”
Avoiding imprisonnt and restoring the family’s reputation, such favor would be as if saving the life of the Jason Family.
“Achoo!”
Purple Sumrs, who was sitting in the car, suddenly sneezed.
Atra Blanc asked with concern, “What’s the matter? Did you catch a cold?”
“No,” Purple wiped her nose and casually replied, “Soone might be thinking about .”
“Don’t tell you caught a chill,” Atra complained, “The air conditioning in the mall was too cold earlier. Your body is sensitive to temperature changes. I’ll make you so pear soup when we get ho… Alexander, you should have so too. It can help prevent colds.”
Alexander, who was driving, nodded and agreed, then drove the car into the Sumrs Family’s garage.
After breakfast, they went shopping, and Atra bought a lot of clothes and daily necessities for her daughter. By the ti they returned, it was almost noon.
Alexander didn’t have a chance to be alone with Purple during the trip, so she enjoyed the shopping.
When they returned to the small house, Purple took her shopping bags to her room.
However, just a mont later, she rushed downstairs, grabbing the railing and shouting at Atra-
“Mom! Mom! There’s a bird on the window ledge in my room! Hurry over!”
When Atra heard her daughter’s call, she hurried to her room. Both the mother and daughter stared at the shivering bird on the window ledge and were dumbfounded…
Bewildered, Atra asked, “Did this… fall from a tree?”
Purple was just as perplexed, “There are no trees outside the window. Maybe a wildcat brought it in….”
