Translator: 549690339 |
Aria Jackson couldn’t stand Jade Carlson gaining advantages. At this mont, she raged, “She sure knows when to pick a fight! Putting on a family reunion drama show right now, aiming to steal the lilight, is she? Why doesn’t she ascend to heaven?!”
After cursing, she grew worried and asked Purple Sumrs, “Will it affect the court hearing tomorrow? How’s Marcel doing with eliminating the surveillance footage?”
“Don’t worry. This relative of Mayor Carlson might not necessarily acknowledge her,” Purple Sumrs said coldly and unhurriedly, “But she will definitely want to show off.”
What kind of show it would be, depended on her mood…
After school, Purple Sumrs went to Prominence Law Firm.
At Marcel Jefferson’s firm, things were lively at this mont.
The keen-eyed receptionist had found surveillance footage that was exactly like the one from cara 2!
Marcel Jefferson was so thrilled that he repeatedly promised to raise the receptionist’s salary!
To compare these videos, he had been pulling two all-nighters. His eyes were bloodshot and his face was alarmingly pale at this point, but that couldn’t suppress his excitent as he laughed and yelled in his office.
Purple Sumrs was supposed to practice with Marcel Jefferson today, seeing him in this state, she decided to let it pass.
She patted Marcel Jefferson on the shoulder and advised, “Go ho and rest. Get so sleep. We have a court hearing tomorrow.”
“We will win, right?” Marcel Jefferson’s mood was still on a high, his eyes bright behind his glasses.
Purple Sumrs smiled, “Yeah, as long as Mr. Jefferson doesn’t oversleep tomorrow, we will win.”
“Yeah!” Marcel Jefferson pumped his fist, extrely elated.
“Dinner’s on today! Order whatever you like!” Marcel Jefferson announced extravagantly.
The receptionist suggested, “Boss, how about pizza?”
“Excellent, Larissa is our hero today, whatever Larissa says, we’ll have!”
The firm was in high spirits.
When the delivery arrived, Marcel Jefferson was the first to take a slice.
Worried that he might not wake up on ti tomorrow, he hastily finished his al. Without taking the ti to entertain Purple Sumrs, he rushed ho to sleep.
Purple Sumrs, however, stayed and joined the firm’s employees in their celebration.
Afterward, she stayed alone in Marcel Jefferson’s office, reviewing the case materials and ticulously watching the surveillance footage.
Purple Sumrs’ strong suit was that she never underestimated her enemies, not even if it were just her forr low-ranking assistant.
Having worked under her for more than two years, although Jade Carlson hadn’t gotten much private ti with her, Purple Sumrs was very familiar with her work style. She could almost predict Jade Carlson’s performance in court tomorrow.
Easy to deal with.
But… if Jade Carlson’s father truly was Mayor Carlson, George Carlson, it reminded Purple Sumrs about sothing.
She and Aria Jackson had once worked on a major case, involving official bribery.
At that ti, clues pointed directly to the incumbent Mayor George Carlson. Vaguely, it seed like there were higher-ranking officials behind the scene. So, without hesitation, she and Aria Jackson wrapped up the case promptly upon gathering evidence against the minister.
Handling corruption cases was always particularly tricky. Such cases involved a wide range of associations, complicated relationships, and evidence was difficult to gather. A slight slip-up could be fatal.
Even if they risked their lives, they might not get to the bottom of the case. During the process of unraveling the truth, the other party might scapegoat soone, leaving them nothing after all their hard work.
Purple Sumrs and Aria Jackson felt that their ability and status wasn’t sufficient to confront this powerful force directly. They wisely wrapped up the case.
Being able to topple a minister was a substantial blow to the other party. They didn’t co away empty-handed.
Purple Sumrs rembered that shortly after she died, Jade Carlson tried to take her laptop.
…Could it be, Jade Carlson thought she possessed damning evidence against Mayor Carlson and thus plotted to kill her?
