Chapter 498: Extortion Letter_1
Purple Sumrs settled into Alexander Sumrs’ manor castle.
Zack Wallace helped her request a week of sick leave.
As for Atra Blanc, Alexander himself called back, saying there was a national high school student technology competition going on in so city, an opportunity that cos once in a blue moon. He took Purple Sumrs to broaden her horizons, and they would return ho in a few days.
Atra Blanc asked worriedly, “Won’t it affect her studies?”
Alexander took it for granted, “Constantly studying is not good for her. It’s about ti she went out to see the world. Otherwise, what if she becos a bookworm later on?”
Atra Blanc then felt that her son made a lot of sense and was comforted, thinking her son had grown sensible and learned to care for his sister.
But what she didn’t know was that her son’s care for his sister was far more comprehensive and flawless than she imagined…
Purple Sumrs comfortably recuperated in the manor, while Second Young Master Graves stayed in Apricot Village, away from the corrupt nightlife. For the first ti in many years, he probably lived so virtuously.
…
Gerald Graves going out to have fun and not returning ho for several days was nothing unusual, so even after three days without a sign of him, the Graves Family didn’t notice anything amiss.
But Bella Foster knew that sothing must have happened to Gerald Graves.
She was especially tense these past few days, barely able to sleep at night. She really wanted to send soone to ask if the matter had been dealt with, but she didn’t dare to contact the other party, fearing she might leave behind traces that could link her to the incident in the future.
Bella Foster endured it with difficulty.
She observed secretly and noticed that the Sumrs Family’s driver had not co to pick up Purple Sumrs from school for many days, which made her feel sowhat relieved and inclined to think that the deed was done.
“Three strong n, there’s no reason they couldn’t subdue a pampered young master and a powerless high school girl,” Bella Foster thought. “It must be done. There’s no need for to panic.”
Just thinking about Purple Sumrs suffering made Bella Foster feel entirely at ease.
She hated Purple Sumrs so much.
— Purple Sumrs made her a laughingstock at the engagent party, stole Gavin Graves’ affection from her, and ruined her reputation at school. The humiliations, each and every one, were enough to make her hold a grudge for life!
She was determined to make Purple Sumrs beg for life and plead for death!
Of course, Bella Foster also thought about Gerald Graves.
When she plotted this, she didn’t an to hurt Gerald Graves, but her mother suggested it, and since it was a kidnapping, if there were no injuries at all, it would seem like a joke.
Bella Foster agreed.
She figured she’d be taking care of Gerald Graves after all. If Gerald Graves beca disabled or sick and couldn’t marry a gentlewoman, she was willing to take care of him, seeing it as repaying her debt.
With that thought, the last bit of guilt in Bella Foster’s heart was gone.
Three days later, Mrs. Foster, Bella’s mother, went to the Graves Family to have afternoon tea with Mrs. Graves.
Even though Bella Foster was on the Graves Family’s blacklist for offending Gavin Graves, it didn’t affect her mother’s close female friendship with Mrs. Graves.
The two won sat in the living room, sipping tea and chatting, and it was at this mont that the extortion letter was delivered.
The servant from outside ran in panicked, holding up the extortion letter and a box-shaped object, “Madam! Sothing terrible has happened!”
Mrs. Foster feigned surprise while covertly anticipating Mrs. Graves’ reaction, wanting to see what her face would look like upon discovering her own son’s finger in the box.
Perhaps she would faint from the shock?
As Mrs. Foster had expected, the blood drained from Mrs. Graves’ face in an instant, and her hand trembled, dropping the extortion letter.
“…Hurry, call the first young master back!” Mrs. Graves tightly grasped the watch in the gift box, tears streaming out, “Tell him, sothing’s happened to the second young master!”
Mrs. Foster looked at the watch in Mrs. Graves’ hand with so confusion.
Wasn’t it agreed to send a finger?
