Chapter 140: Important Guest
Translator: 549690339 |
The next day, the Summers Family house was even more bustling, as seldom seen relatives had all come.
Summers Corporation was a family business, and while Nathaniel held the majority of shares, the rest were held by shareholders who were all connected to the family, either closely or distantly, through marriage.
As the company’s business condition gradually improved, everyone was pleased.
In the garden villa, music played. The elaborate and glittering chandeliers shone brightly, clusters of roses were gathered near the dance floor, their fragrance rich and lush. In addition, there was succulent steak, premium seafood, delicate desserts, and aged wines, which were served like a flowing river.
The Summers Family had held several funerals in succession, and it had been a while since they last hosted such a luxurious banquet.
But there were a few minor unexpected incidents. Among the invited guests, two or three could not make it because they had to attend an impromptu banquet at the Jameson Family’s home.
The Jamesons are hosting a banquet?
Nathaniel was unaware of this. He specifically called a guest who was about to attend the banquet at the Jamesons’, who said, “It seems to be related to that case. The Jameson Family is hosting a significant guest.”
Further inquiries did not provide much detail.
“They’re probably desperate and seeking someone’s help,” the guest guessed, “You know, their case is about to go to court, and it doesn’t look good.”
The recent headlines in Clearwater City were almost all about the Jameson Family, and everyone was talking about Henry Jameson’s case.
Sexual assault is already a significant scandal, and the fact that the victim was his student was even more reprehensible.
Nathaniel didn’t believe that his friend could do such a thing, and while he wanted to call Henry, he hesitated for fear of making his friend uncomfortable.
Meanwhile, Laura Summers, who was always paying attention to the Jameson Family’s situation, learned about the news and immediately ran to find Yolanda Summers.
“I called Zara Jameson. They’re having a banquet at their house tonight and are especially inviting someone important!” Laura said.
Jade Carlson and Yolanda were entertaining female guests, and they were both taken aback by Laura’s sudden exclamation.
Yolanda lightly laughed, “Even in their current state, the Jameson family still has the mood to host a banquet? I think they’re assuming this important guest to be their last lifeline Aunt Jade, tonight, I think you might be in for a long evening.”
Jade Carlson understood Yolanda’s meaning as her thoughts churned.
Laura was still confused and asked, “Sis, what do you mean? Are you saying that the guest the Jameson Family is inviting is Aunt Jade?”
“Who else could possibly help the Jameson family now besides Aunt Jade?” Yolanda smiled with conviction, “Aunt Jade wanted to help them earlier, but the Jamesons insisted on using a small law firm that couldn’t handle their case. Now that their court session is almost here, they probably don’t know what to do.”
While everyone knew about the Jameson Family’s case, they didn’t know that Jade Carlson had intervened. So, when they heard this, they all looked towards Jade Carlson.
Suddenly becoming the center of attention left Jade Carlson somewhat unprepared. Yet inside, she was very pleased and casually said, “It’s no big deal. It’s all just part of my job. I’ll do my best to help wherever I can.”
“If Ms. Carlson can think of a solution to such a foregone conclusion like the Jameson’s case, you’re really impressive.”
“Yes, not only is Ms. Carlson young and beautiful, but she’s also exceptionally talented. She’s already a prosecutor at such a young age; she’s really an inspiration to us women!”
“We women just drink tea and watch operas. Ms. Carlson, if you don’t mind, please, we’d love to have you visit our homes sometime.”
Given the unavoidable involvement with lawsuits for wealthy families, Jade Carlson, as a prosecutor, quickly became a courting target for everyone.
Word of the Jameson Family’s plan to host Jade Carlson also quickly spread at the banquet..
