Translator: 549690339
Nathaniel Sumrs looked puzzled, not expecting to see soone so unexpected!
“…Mayor Carlson?” Nathaniel was taken aback.
Mayor Carlson actually ca in person to visit Jade Carlson?! …Was he here to offer his condolences?
Nathaniel’s gaze swept over the secretary and the reporters.
The mont Mayor Carlson appeared, the ward was already filled with people. Reporters set up their caras, ready to start filming at any ti. The mayor’s secretary gave a beaming smile as he presented flowers, and Jade wore a gentle smile as well.
For a mont, Nathaniel felt out of place…
He and Jade were not related, and standing there made his identity awkward.
But it seed that no one noticed him.
All the attention was on Mayor Carlson and Jade.
“Ms. Carlson, shortly after becoming prosecutor, you cracked the cold case of a child murder. What are your thoughts now that the long-ti fugitive suspect has been caught?”
“This case has been unsolved for three years. How did you notice the clues and find the real culprit?”
“As a female prosecutor, is there anything you would like to say to your fellow won working in the judicial field?”
“The court hearing is about to begin. Will Ms. Carlson represent the prosecution?…”
In the endless barrage of questions, Jade’s face radiated with happiness in the midst of flowers and praise.
She humbly replied, “I only did my duty. I will continue to be diligent and stand on the side of justice.”
Her answer was strong and resolute, reminiscent of Suzanne Saunders in her pri.
At Jade’s side, Mayor Carlson smiled, “It’s a blessing for Clearwater City to have a hero like Jade.”
This was high praise.
Nathaniel knew that every word they said would be published in the most widely-read newspapers in Clearwater City the next day.
After about twenty minutes of questioning and interviews, the mayor’s secretary arranged for the reporters to leave the ward, but Mayor Carlson stayed behind.
Jade introduced them, “This is Nathaniel Sumrs, the chairman of Sumrs Group.”
She looked at Nathaniel, her cheeks still flushed with excitent, “Nathaniel, this is Mayor Carlson, my… my father.”
Nathaniel’s eyes widened slightly, as if in disbelief. He had never heard Jade ntion her father! And he had never heard that Mayor Carlson had a daughter working as a prosecutor!
Mayor Carlson shook hands with Nathaniel, very amiably, “Mr. Sumrs, it’s nice to et you. Jade has often ntioned you to . To shoulder the responsibility of the family business at such a young age is not an easy feat.” Nathaniel was surprised and flattered, “…Thankyou for your praise, Mayor.” He never thought that Jade’s father would be the mayor!
Mayor Carlson laughed, “You young people spend ti together, and occasional small quarrels are inevitable. Just talk it out, and there’s nothing that can’t be resolved. Don’t let it hurt your feelings.”
His words seed to carry advice like a gentle warning, but also hinted at sothing deeper.
Nathaniel quickly agreed.
After the mayor’s secretary finished escorting the reporters, he returned to the ward and whispered sothing to the mayor.
Mayor Carlson told Jade to take care of her health, and then left with his secretary.
The mayor hurriedly arrived and left just as quickly.
On the hospital bed, Jade’s expression was joyful and shy. She apologized to Nathaniel, “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you… It’s just that my father’s position is special, and I have to consider my family’s feelings, so it’s inconvenient to publicly acknowledge my identity.”
As she spoke, her face broke into a smile, “My father said that after the court hearing, he would hold a family dinner to formally introduce my identity to everyone. Nathaniel, I’m so happy.”
