Chapter 1211: Chapter 1211
After it was over, Purple Sumrs felt every bone in her body relax, and she had no strength left to move.
Alexander Sumrs leaned in playfully, opening his laptop and placing it in front of her, “Shall we continue watching?”
Purple Sumrs wanted to tell him to “get lost,” but her throat was hoarse and weak, she didn’t want to speak, and simply glared at him.
“Want to read it to you?” Alexander, satisfied, was full of energy, his smile especially gentle.
Purple Sumrs closed her eyes, not wanting to look at that annoying face.
Alexander didn’t really start reading.
After a while, Purple Sumrs groggily felt soone wiping her down. She opened her eyes, thought for a mont, and asked Alexander, “How did you et Maeve?”
They had agreed to be honest as husband and wife, right?
They had agreed to trust each other, right?
So it was reasonable for her to ask this question, not out of jealousy or pettiness, right?
“We t in France, she helped with a case.” Alexander smiled, “At that ti, I was doing very poorly, and got into a fight with so street hooligans, accidentally killing soone. Maeve was the court-appointed lawyer. According to her, it was her first ti defending in court, so it was very significant.”
Purple Sumrs’ eyes widened slightly, “Did you win the case?”
“Yes.” Alexander nodded, “Otherwise, for accidental manslaughter, I would’ve been sentenced to at least twenty years.”
Purple Sumrs felt a bit dazed, thinking how amazing the connections between people could be.
“If you had really been sentenced to twenty years, you’d still be in prison now. Should we buy so gifts to thank her?” Purple Sumrs asked.
Alexander wiped her clean and hugged her in his arms, her cool skin soft and smooth, mixed with a milky fragrance, like a piece of panna cotta, making him want to take a bite.
He truly did so.
Nibbling and licking, Purple Sumrs cried out in disgust, and only then did he stop.
“What’s there to thank for, she was just doing her job.” Alexander kneaded the soft flesh at her waist, indifferently saying, “Later, because of my case, she beca sowhat famous, caught the eye of an industry bigshot and was hired with a high salary to the United States. If you think about it, the one who should be thanked is her.”
Purple Sumrs scolded him with a smile, “You’re really heartless.”
After cursing him, she was sweetly pleased, thinking it was indeed good for Alexander to be heartless…
…
A week later, Purple Sumrs t Maeve again.
Although it was a closed hearing, there were still quite a few people in the audience, mainly relatives of the Smith Family, and the witnesses Maeve had arranged, including the neighbors of the involved parties, an obstetrician, and people from the Won’s Rights Protection Federation.
Purple Sumrs glanced around, gently pressing Sydney Bennett’s shoulder, “Relax.”
Sydney Bennett was an orphan, and aside from the people from the Won’s Rights Protection Federation, none of the other attendees were her family or friends. Purple Sumrs didn’t want her to feel unnecessary pressure.
Sydney Bennett shook her head with a faint smile, her expression indifferent, as if unmoved by anything.
Although she was her client, Purple Sumrs had taken over halfway through and hadn’t interacted much with Sydney Bennett. She only felt that this woman was extrely calm, almost emotionless.
This undisturbed trait might be sothing a surgeon possesses, but it inevitably seed cold.
“Shortly after we got married, I beca pregnant, but my husband thought we were still young and shouldn’t be tied down by a child. I didn’t want to give up the child, but he insisted, and in the end, I compromised and went to the hospital for an abortion. The fetus was already four months old at the ti.”
Sydney Bennett looked towards Stanley Smith in the distance, a gentle smile on her face, “Interesting, isn’t it? When a man decides not to have a child, nobody says anything. But if a woman decides not to have a child, then she is naturally subject to criticism. As if once she has a child, a mother must sacrifice. If you don’t sacrifice, then you are guilty.”
