Chapter 688: Chapter 688: Delicious Top-Grade Steak _1
“Huh? It’s Marcel’s call.” Purple Sumrs answered the phone, “Hello, Marcel?”
Marcel Jefferson’s cheerful and bright voice ca through from the other side, “Big sis! How did the exam go? It must have been great, right? Don’t forget to treat us to a al when you get back!”
Purple Sumrs nodded with a smile, “You won’t miss out on a al.”
In her words, there was clear confidence about this exam.
Marcel Jefferson congratulated her in advance and then brought up Lindsay Carpenter’s case.
Purple Sumrs was a bit surprised; it had been almost a month since the events unfolded. A month ago, Lindsay Carpenter was unwilling to sue Leon Brown, but what made her change her mind a month later?
Marcel Jefferson said, “I’m going to Kingsley tomorrow to et a witness, and the court session is on Friday. Do you want to co along?”
The case had solid evidence and testimony, just as Purple Sumrs had said—the chance of winning was very high. Marcel could handle it on his own, but since Purple Sumrs was the one who took the case, it would seem inappropriate if she didn’t inquire about it at all.
After a mont of thought, Purple Sumrs replied, “Send the ti and place for the court hearing, and I’ll join you on Friday.”
She had taken a week off for her exam, and the court hearing on Friday fit into her schedule perfectly.
But now, she would have to reschedule her plan to return to Clearwater on Wednesday to Saturday instead. She needed to call Atra Blanc to explain, otherwise, her mother would start worrying.
Purple Sumrs phoned Atra Blanc and earnestly explained the situation to her.
She had ntioned to Atra Blanc in the past about assisting Marcel Jefferson, framing it as a way to gain practical experience, so occasionally attending court hearings with Marcel made perfect logical sense.
Just as Purple Sumrs was sure that Atra Blanc would understand, Atra Blanc hesitantly asked, “Purple… Did your brother tell you to say these things?”
What?
Purple Sumrs was stunned.
Atra Blanc continued to probe, “Is he trying to sweet-talk you into staying in Kingsley for a few extra days? Purple, be good, Mom isn’t unreasonable, it’s just that you’re still young… There are so things that… uh, these past few days, when you two… sleep at night… did you… did you…”
Atra Blanc’s sentences ca out with difficulty, seemingly hard to express.
Alexander Sumrs couldn’t take it anymore.
He didn’t want to carry this bla.
Snatching the phone from Purple Sumrs, Alexander said to Atra Blanc, “Mom, do you really think I want to stay in Kingsley? I’m serving her every al, getting her up in the morning, comforting her to sleep at night, and even helping her morize legal provisions. How about this—I’ll go back tomorrow, and Purple can return after the court hearing on Friday.”
Upon hearing this, Atra Blanc imdiately beca anxious: “How can you just leave your sister alone?!”
Alexander: “…”
Whether he clung to Purple Sumrs or complained about her, Atra Blanc beca anxious either way.
Alexander felt that these two won were his bane, incredibly hard to please.
Fortunately, after such an explanation, Atra Blanc seed to believe Purple Sumrs’ story.
On the phone, Atra Blanc repeatedly urged Alexander not to be impulsive, not to be impulsive… Alexander was so annoyed he wanted to smash the phone, and finally, Atra Blanc hung up.
The room fell silent.
Alexander looked gloomily at Purple, “Okay, the exams are over, and there’s no rush to go back. Aren’t I due so reward for my efforts these past few days?”
Purple Sumrs sat cross-legged on the bed, reminding him softly, “Mom just said not to be impulsive…”
“This isn’t about being impulsive,” Alexander said with a cold laugh. “This is a considered, rational decision.”
Purple Sumrs thought about it seriously. She had indeed been a bit too much these past couple of days.
“Alright then.” She went all out, spreading her hands generously, “You choose. Left or right?”
Alexander’s gaze lingered, as if he were eyeing a succulent pri steak, contemplating where to take the first bite.
“I choose the middle.” Alexander turned off the light with his hand.
Purple Sumrs was dumbfounded, thinking: What new trick can you play with this kind of thing?
