Translator: 549690339
Aria Jackson, despite being a beautiful woman, was ferocious when angry. Her eyebrows rose sharply, and her eyes held a stinging coldness that did not lose to a man’s.
Many criminals confessed their guilt under her capable hands. Chloe Bennett, as cunning she may be, was rely a little girl compared to her.
Unable to refute the undeniable evidence, Chloe wailed in humiliation and despair.
Aria was not a man, she didn’t give any sympathy to crying won. She spoke sternly, “You are young. If you confess willingly, the punishnt might not necessarily be severe. But if you adamantly obstruct justice and lie about the facts, even if the Jason Family chooses not to pursue, we as the police have the right to arrest you!”
After severely reprimanding her, she ended with a thud of her handcuffs on the table!
Chloe’s face turned pale and she sobbed uncontrollably, nodding in agreent with a whimper.
Aria explained the situation to Purple Sumrs, saying, “She was crying too hard to respond, but I’m guessing that by tomorrow at the latest, she’ll turn herself into the police station.”
Marcel Jefferson cautiously asked, “And if she doesn’t?”
“She has no choice.” Aria picked up her handcuffs and twirled them on her index finger, her tone threatening. “Unless she wants to handcuff her into the police station.”
“My cousin is such a heroine.” Marcel, with a smirk, offered Aria a milk tea and massaged her shoulders. “I am depending on you, dear cousin, to get more business for my small law firm.”
“Alright, alright. Stop buttering up.” Aria waved dismissively, “You should report back to your financial backer, so he can rest easy.”
Marcel’s financial backer was no other than Henry.
The case was given to Prominence Law Firm. There would naturally be a reward upon completion, and the Jason Family’s mysterious case promised a substantial one.
Overwheld with joy, Marcel nodded repeatedly, “Alright, alright, thank you for your hard work, sisters. I am going to leave first!”
– Rather than picking up the phone, Marcel personally travelled to the Jason Family, demonstrating his sincerity.
He was a self-aware man, applauding Purple and Aria for their hard work while not claiming any credit for himself, showing utmost humility.
The Jason Family was fortunately ho. Upon hearing that their son was no longer a suspect, they were thrilled. After Marcel left, the family discussed throwing a banquet to celebrate.
“Throw a banquet… isn’t that a bit too flashy?”
In addition to feeling relieved and surprised, Henry was a bit stunned, finding it hard to believe…
Just days ago, they were still facing an unsolvable mystery, yet now it seed to have vanished.
“We should be flashy!” Mrs. Jason, who had been holding back her anger, could finally vent it, “Otherwise, people will still think of you as a rapist!”
Mr. Jason subtly nodded, “Yes, we should throw a banquet. Not a big one, but we should always invite our family friends. After being criticized for such a long ti, it’s ti to clear our na, especially for Henry.”
While speaking, his voice softened, “Ms. Sumrs is credited for solving this matter. Be sure to thank her properly, and invite her to the banquet.”
“Of course,” Henry nodded.
Mr. Jason continued, “You and Nathaniel are close, and he helped a lot during this incident. But… don’t invite him to the banquet, to avoid any awkwardness and discomfort.”
After thinking it over, Henry agreed.
Upon returning ho, Purple found the Sumrs Family in a lively mood.
The Sumrs Family was also planning to throw a banquet.
Even though it was tomorrow, preparations started today. Top-grade abalone and oyster had to be ordered in advance, along with taking care of guests’ preferences.
The Sumrs Family had no mistress. Mrs. Sumrs had passed away, and Atra Blanc never took charge. Nathaniel asked Jade Carlson, it was her and Yolanda Sumrs who were preparing for the banquet.
Jade, dressed in a champagne-colored dress, looked like the half mistress of the Sumrs Family. She was busy directing the servants to prepare the living room.
Purple stood at a distance, watching the bustling scene with cold eyes.
This festive scene hardly involved her..
