Chapter 521 Missing Jade Carlson_1
Jade Carlson, when pushed to the brink, never divulged that secret; could Nathaniel Sumrs really expect to get answers by confronting her now?
Purple Sumrs held little hope for that.
Undoubtedly, Nathaniel knew this too; he was just too infuriated, and the thought of Jade swapping the dication filled him with rage, making him desperate to confront her imdiately.
“Actually, you don’t have to do this,” Purple Sumrs said. “Although you betrayed first, I must admit I never fully committed or invested myself, and my perfunctory attitude toward marriage led to the loss of my own life, while you received the insurance money and suffer the tornt of a guilty conscience. We are even now.”
Nathaniel was montarily stunned.
He hated how she always tried to sever all ties with him!
“Do you think your death is just your own affair?” Nathaniel said coldly. “My wife was murdered, the young lady of the Sumrs family was murdered, and I have every right to pursue the killer!”
Purple Sumrs frowned slightly, remaining silent.
She sat quietly, her dense ink-black hair draping over her shoulders, casting a soft glow under the light, further accentuating her skin’s creamy white jade-like appearance, alluring and striking.
This dignified and tranquil deanour, now devoid of a young girl’s liveliness, was strikingly reminiscent of Suzanne Saunders from before.
“I will find out the truth,” Nathaniel took a deep breath, softening his tone.
“…I won’t stop you from investigating, but you need to understand,” Purple Sumrs said, “regardless of whether you find the real murderer or not, we will never return to how we were. In fact, you might live more comfortably if you let go of these things.”
Nathaniel’s expression stiffened. Purple Sumrs’ words were like a sharp sword, piercing his heart with spasms of pain!
She was cold and heartless!
Nathaniel comforted himself inwardly: It was normal for her to change after experiencing life and death, and it was normal for her to keep him at a distance. But even if they couldn’t return to how things were, so things he simply had to do!
Because he couldn’t accept it…
Nathaniel hurriedly left.
No sooner had he left than the attendant brought over two cups of coffee.
After school, Purple Sumrs had rushed over and was now feeling hungry; with the evening rush hour in full swing outside, there was no telling how long a cab ride ho would take, so she decided to stay a bit longer at the cafe and ordered a few cakes and pastries.
As she ate the cake, she pondered over Jade Carlson’s situation.
Why had Jade, facing the threat of prison, kept silent about this matter? Was it fear of inciting a homicide case, or was it loyalty, an unwillingness to expose the mastermind behind the scenes?
Loyalty… The word was ludicrous when applied to Jade Carlson.
Perhaps there was soone Jade dared not offend… the mayor, maybe? Or soone else…
Tracing the dicine had beco too difficult, so Purple Sumrs called Aria Jackson to discuss Jade Carlson’s case.
“Too much ti has passed, and gathering evidence is too difficult,” Aria Jackson sighed after hearing the details, also believing that Jade wouldn’t tell the truth.
“Let’s change our approach,” Purple Sumrs said. “Don’t trace the dicine, look into the people she’s been in contact with.”
“Hmm, it’s worth a try,” Aria responded.
…
Jade Carlson always loved to show off her wide network, but in reality, her social connections were quite simple.
She disdained ordinary people, and the daughters of prominent families looked down on her, leaving her with no real friends. While she used to socialize with so colleagues when she worked at the Prosecutor’s Office, now without a job and a tarnished reputation, she was shunned and spat upon like a street rat.
When Nathaniel found her residence, he discovered the tenants had been changed.
“Jade Carlson?” questioned the new tenant, puzzled. “I don’t know her. I just moved in last week, you should probably ask the landlord.”
Nathaniel found it strange that Jade would move without any apparent reason.
He thanked the person and went downstairs to make a call, but Jade’s phone went unanswered…
