Chapter 573: Chapter 573 Sticky and ssy_1
Jealous?
Jane McCain was deeply perplexed…
She even wondered if she saw things mistakenly last night.
Perhaps it was just an ordinary housekeeper? Perhaps it really wasn’t the high-ranking Mr. King, the steward who was second only to one but above ten thousand others? Otherwise, she found it hard to imagine that the head of a family, a figure of such stature, would be so clingy.
A family head should either be cool and aloof or deeply hidden and unfathomable, but surely they shouldn’t be so sticky and fumbling with a female student, right?
Sothing about the whole picture just wasn’t adding up!
“Janie, how about you co with ?” Purple Sumrs asked Jane McCain, “Are you free this weekend? Zara needs to practice the zither and won’t have ti.”
“Ah?” Jane McCain asked in surprise, “Is that okay? You’re investigating a case, won’t it be a problem to take along?”
“Allen Rivera really wants to look into it thoroughly, but there hasn’t been a formal case opened, right?” Purple Sumrs said with a laugh, “I guess he’s just using the pretense of a visit to scope things out.”
An unfiled case ans it’s against the regulations to investigate privately. If the other party were an average person, they might be intimidated by the prosecutor’s authority and cooperate with one’s questioning and investigation all the way through. But the other party is a Justice, and that’s not soone one can afford to offend.
So, Allen Rivera’s case investigation carried a shade of “sneaking around.”
…
When the weekend ca, Purple Sumrs arranged to et Jane McCain, and they went to the Douglas Residence together.
While still on their way, she deliberately called Alexander Sumrs to explain the situation.
Alexander Sumrs was obviously displeased, starting with, “A lone man and a single woman…”
“I’m with Jane McCain.” Purple Sumrs, prepared for this, imdiately held up her shield.
Alexander was still not satisfied.
“Does this Allen Rivera have designs on you?” he asked darkly, “He could ask his own assistant for help or turn to Marcel Jefferson, or if all else fails, he could hire a private detective. Why is he coming to you specifically, what does that an?”
“Please don’t assu everyone is as dull-witted as you,” Purple Sumrs refused to let him slander Allen Rivera, “Even if he has designs on , it’s for my intelligence, my brain! Unlike you, who covets my beauty, shallow!”
“What can I do?” Alexander Sumrs laughed softly on the phone, “Won in love don’t use their brains. When you’re with , I can only reluctantly covet your beauty.”
Purple Sumrs: “…”
He was actually ridiculing her for being brainless…
Why did it feel like his shalessness had leveled up?
Unable to win the argunt with Alexander, she tried to hang up, but he insisted on a video call to make sure she really was with Jane McCain.
“I’m sorry, he’s just like that, likes to be suspicious of everything.” Purple Sumrs apologetically asked Jane McCain, “You don’t mind, right? Just a quick look on video?”
Jane McCain was a bit nervous.
Was she about to have a video chat with the head of the leading Howard Family?
Really?
Is this for real?
… As the video connected, the screen on the other side was dark.
Alexander Sumrs had not turned on the cara.
Jane McCain imdiately breathed a sigh of relief and at the sa ti felt a bit disappointed. She still hadn’t seen the true face of the head of the Howard Family.
…
Purple Sumrs and Jane McCain arrived at the Douglas Residence. Allen Rivera’s car was parked at the front door, and he sat inside waiting for them.
He brought fruit baskets and gift boxes, which looked like he was rely visiting, nothing like investigating a case.
Jane McCain looked at Purple Sumrs with admiration, thinking she really had a sixth sense about these things.
Allen Rivera rang the doorbell on the gate, and soon a servant opened the door.
Given it was a weekend, the Justice didn’t have to work. Norman Douglas was at ho playing baseball with his son and invited the guests in for tea upon hearing of Allen Rivera’s arrival.
Purple Sumrs followed Allen Rivera, observing the surroundings.
The Douglas Family’s layout was sowhat similar to the Sumrs Family’s, with a large villa connected to a front courtyard and a smaller house in the back garden. The houses and garden were smaller than the Sumrs Residence, with no expansive man-made lakes, but still luxurious and refined.
“Mrs. Douglas moved into the smaller house in the back garden after giving birth and sealed both the front and back entrances.” Allen Rivera suddenly whispered to Purple Sumrs.
