The music continued to play softly, but no one spoke, and the atmosphere was eerily quiet.
Everyone was dumbfounded, their gazes focused on Purple Sumrs.
Distant relatives who were not familiar with her whispered, “Who is Purple Sumrs?”
Once they figured out who she was, they were even more shocked.
Wasn’t she just an adopted daughter? She looked so young and naive. Why would Mrs. Jason personally present her with this gift and such an important one at that?
Atra Blanc asked in surprise, “Purple, why would Mrs. Jason give you a gift?”
And the gift was the Goddess of Justice statue.
Purple Sumrs looked up, glanced at the crowd with various expressions, and her eyes were like a tranquil pond, clear and unruffled.
“Perhaps it is to thank for helping clear Mr. Jason’s na,” replied Purple Sumrs calmly.
Her simple words sent a shockwave through the banquet hall.
Everyone was stunned, and discussions broke out.
“Wasn’t it said that the Jason Family invited Jade Carlson?”
“Why would they invite the adopted daughter of the Sumrs Family?”
“Could it be that the case was really solved by the adopted daughter of the Sumrs Family? That’s impossible, isn’t it…”
“If it wasn’t her who solved the case, why would Mrs. Jason give a gift? Isn’t that obvious? The people of the Jason Family aren’t stupid!”
“So, the Jason Family never actually invited Jade Carlson. Oh my god, did you see? She just reached out to accept the gift…”
“Tsk, she must be thinking too much of herself…”
Jade Carlson’s face flushed red, and she stood rooted to the spot, her blood seeming to freeze in her veins.
Laura Sumrs and Yolanda Sumrs looked just as pale and unhappy.
Had Mrs. Jason lost her mind? Why did she invite Purple Sumrs?!
Third Grandma Sumrs squinted at the statue and smiled, “It’s a good item, girl. This is a token of appreciation from an elder, you should keep it safe. Don’t let soone else take it by mistake and cause a fuss. Sigh, ever since my older brother passed away, the Sumrs Family has been in disarray, bringing all sorts of strange people into the house.”
Purple Sumrs smiled and agreed.
Jade Carlson’s face had turned purple with humiliation, and she felt unbearably embarrassed.
Third Grandma Sumrs was clearly talking about her being one of those strange people!
Had the old woman gone senile?! She was actually siding with Purple Sumrs! An adopted daughter, even more despicable than an illegitimate child, who had been taken in by a mistress!
Jade Carlson was mad with sha and anger!
Laura Sumrs rushed over angrily and confronted Purple Sumrs, “What have you done? Mr. Jason’s trial is about to start, and you continue to deceive the Jason Family with your lies. Aren’t you afraid that you won’t be able to handle the consequences?! Our Sumrs Family’s reputation has been dragged down by you!”
She openly called Purple Sumrs a liar.
“Chloe Bennett has turned herself in,” Purple Sumrs said calmly and indifferently. “Just two hours ago, she went to the police station and admitted that she had fabricated her statent. The charges have been dropped, and I’m sure the dia will report on it tomorrow.”
The crowd exploded upon hearing Purple Sumrs’ words!
Henry Jason’s case was really resolved! The other party had voluntarily confessed!
“This is impossible! Impossible!” Laura Sumrs could not accept the outco. She had been hoping for Purple Sumrs to be humiliated, so why had it ended like this?!
Dylan Sumrs, in the crowd, saw his daughter’s embarrassnt and shouted sternly, “Laura, go back to your room!”
But Laura was not willing to give up. She turned to Jade Carlson for help, “Aunt Jade! Didn’t you say that only a settlent could solve this case?! Purple Sumrs is talking nonsense, right?!”
Jade Carlson once again beca the focus of the crowd. Her face turned pale, and she looked as if she was about to collapse.
Dylan Sumrs could not stand it any longer and angrily commanded, “Yolanda! Take your sister back to her room!”
Yolanda had lost her initial elegance and walked upstairs with her head down, pulling her sister along hurriedly.
Jade Carlson’s face twisted into an ugly smile. Looking at Purple Sumrs, her eyes were filled with jealousy, anger, and extre humiliation and hatred.
“….Purple, such good news, and you kept it a secret from the whole family until now?”
