Chapter 486: It’s none of your business_1
Purple Sumrs watched him warily.
Nathaniel Sumrs discarded the butt of his cigarette and crushed it with the tip of his shoe, his tone indifferent, “Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to you. After all… you are my sister in na now, aren’t you?”
Purple Sumrs pursed her lips, silent.
Living under the sa roof, avoiding each other was not an option, even if facing each other was the last thing they wanted to do. Sooner or later, so matters had to be clarified.
Purple Sumrs got into Nathaniel Sumrs’ car, aware that taking her to school was just a pretext. Nathaniel probably had more to say to her.
Yesterday, neither of them had been calm enough.
Nathaniel Sumrs started the car and took Purple Sumrs to school.
The journey was silent.
…
At the intersection, the car slowed to a stop at a red light.
As if he had marshaled his emotions, Nathaniel Sumrs began, “Yesterday, I was too impulsive. I apologize to you… At that ti, when you suddenly t with an accident, I was in turmoil. Jade Carlson was afraid of taking responsibility and lied to the police, and I had my own concerns… worried that the autopsy would reveal drug substances in the body that couldn’t be explained. But I never abandoned you; I hired many boats to search for you downstream, but we never found you!”
Purple Sumrs sat quietly in the back seat, holding her bag.
Nathaniel Sumrs glanced at her in the rearview mirror before returning his focus to the road ahead. He also knew that so things were too late to say now.
“…What are your plans for the future?” Nathaniel Sumrs asked her.
Purple Sumrs looked up, her eyes clear as springs, devoid of any emotion.
“To live well,” she said.
Upon hearing this, Nathaniel Sumrs felt a dull pain in his chest.
Having died once and gotten her life back, of course, she had to live it well.
As the red light turned green, the cars at the crossroads began to move. Clutching the steering wheel, Nathaniel Sumrs continued to drive.
“I heard you’re investigating your own death,” Nathaniel Sumrs said in a low voice as he drove.
The corners of Purple Sumrs’ lips turned up slightly, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes, “Did Jade Carlson tell you that?”
Nathaniel Sumrs’ expression faltered, a gloominess spreading across his brow.
“Yes,” he nodded slightly, “Both Jade and I are responsible for your death. I won’t shirk my responsibility. After all, it happened on the yacht I arranged. If you need anything, I will do my best to assist you.”
Faced with the issue of her own death, Purple Sumrs dropped her sarcasm and said flatly, “Thank you, but I think there’s no longer a need to continue the investigation. From the existing evidence, it appears to be an accidental death caused by a drug reaction. You must be aware that so people are prone to allergies and even safe dications can have severe side effects. Perhaps I was just that unlucky, experiencing dizziness and hallucinations, and ultimately falling to my death.”
Nathaniel Sumrs’ breathing beca strained, his mouth filled with bitterness.
According to Purple Sumrs’ words, her death had been caused by him and Jade Carlson…
If she hadn’t drunk that tampered with drink, she wouldn’t have gotten dizzy and fallen off the boat; if she hadn’t gone to the bow alone, at least there would have been soone nearby to reach out and grab her when trouble arose.
Nathaniel Sumrs breathed slowly, each breath feeling like a ball of fire scorching his lungs and piercing his heart.
“Let’s talk about Alexander Sumrs…” he gripped the steering wheel tightly, staring at the road ahead, “Alexander set up a Five Yin Tree geomancy formation at ho, and that’s no coincidence. Don’t you think he has ulterior motives? Otherwise, why would he engage in such crooked practices after your death?”
“You don’t need to sow discord,” Purple Sumrs’ gaze was cold, “You don’t have to make any sordid guesses either. I can tell you that before my death, Alexander and I were innocent and did nothing to wrong you. As for after my death… I think, my affairs with him should no longer concern you.”
