Chapter 189: Influential Figure
Translator: 549690339
Jane McCain was furious.
Today was her birthday banquet, and Purple Sumrs was a friend she had invited only to have her slandered in such a way. It was totally uncalled for!
Purple Sumrs, however, did not get angry, and replied calmly, “I was just having a casual chat with a friend, please don’t take it to heart.”
The woman wanted to ridicule her so more, but the man next to her said sternly, “Today is Ms. McCain’s birthday, let’s not make a scene.”
His tone was low and even seed a bit gentle. The woman recoiled a bit upon hearing it, as if she was scared, “…Yes.”
Purple Sumrs beca curious and took a closer look at the man in front of her.
He seed like the other male guests at the gathering, dressed in formal attire, looking like a charming gentleman. But there was sothing different, a sober restraint, his eyes were as deep as a dark abyss, with an undercurrent of intensity in his grace.
His overall deanor felt very mature, Purple Sumrs couldn’t guess his age.
The man asked her, “I heard you ntioning Allen Rivera earlier, do you know him?”
“Not exactly…” Purple Sumrs thought for a mont and responded carefully, “I just know a little about him. Although Prosecutor Rivera is relatively new, he is incredibly capable. If Mr. Graves is interested, you might want to look into it. The cases he handles, no matter how big or small, are always clear cut and orderly.”
Purple Sumrs addressed him as Mr. Graves, she guessed the man in front of her must be Gavin Graves, the chairman of Thunderbolt Entertainnt Group.
As Purple Sumrs was observing him, he was also observing her.
Everyone speaks of his younger brother’s case as a sure victory, yet this young girl claims that there’s a high chance of losing…
His eyes narrowing, he quietly observed Purple Sumrs. His gaze was gentle, yet subtly sharp.
Purple Sumrs remained calm.
She hadn’t offended him, nor did she need anything from him. So there was no need to be afraid.
Even if Thunderbolt Entertainnt Group was a massive conglorate, she believed the boss would be a reasonable man. He couldn’t possibly hold a grudge against a young girl like her just because of a few casual remarks she made, could he?
“No matter how remarkable he is, Prosecutor Rivera has only been handling cases for a year. Surely he’s not that much of a threat to an entire team of top-tier lawyers, is he?” Gavin Graves smiled, his eyes calm and concealed. It was hard to tell whether he was pleased or annoyed.
He smiled faintly, his handso features gentle, giving off a scholarly and cultured deanor.
A man like this, polished by years, exhibited a wise and steady style in every move, his deanor was extraordinary and rather captivating.
Purple Sumrs couldn’t help but admire him a bit.
However, it was rely admiration.
“Of course, the team of top-tier lawyers are formidable, I was just speculating earlier.” Purple Sumrs, with her bright, young face, laughed it off in innocence. “But Prosecutor Rivera is very ticulous with his cases, the chain of evidence he builds up is usually very complete. You should be careful.”
Her last remark, seed both like an offhand joke and a friendly warning. Either way, it didn’t quite match her age or status.
This girl seems quite familiar with judicial procedures…
Gavin Graves couldn’t help but feel a slight surprise.
There were always won trying to approach him in all sorts of bizarre ways to capture his attention, but this one…wasn’t she a bit young?
“Thank you for your advice, young lady.” He asked politely, “What’s your na?”
Purple Sumrs gave a small smile and replied, “I’m Jane McCain’s classmate.”
She didn’t ntion her own na.
She didn’t want to give anyone the wrong impression of trying to develop relationships with influential figures. It would seem cheap to put on airs, and besides, becoming involved with such an influential figure would cause more trouble than it’s worth.
Purple Sumrs didn’t chat with him any longer. After excusing herself, she went off with Jane McCain and Zara Jason.
Jane McCain, with her spirits high, kept looking back from ti to ti.
Once they were a fair distance away, Jane McCain said to Purple Sumrs, “Young Master Graves is still watching you.”
Purple Sumrs, jokingly retorted, “It’s perfectly normal for him to want to look at soone as cute as a few more tis..”
