He thought Purple knew!
People as high-ranking as Master Xander usually had a woman for show, and their true love hidden. Wasn’t that right?
“Are you dumb?” Zack Wallace blew a smoke ring in his face. “Would you mention your exes when you’re pursuing a girlfriend? Let alone that it isn’t even an ex, but a fiancee! Can you mention it?!”
Ryan Wesley choked. He wanted to say that he would mention it… and would be proud of it. Having exes only proved his charm.
When talking about his fiancee, Zack got a headache and complained to his nephew while smoking, “Master Xander suspects Ms. Summers overheard something when she was at the Graves Family house. Those bastards, what were they doing gossiping about our Young Master’s wedding? What a calamity…”
“Yeah, yeah… haha…” Ryan Wesley felt guilty and involuntarily glanced towards Purple and Alexander.
Zack noticed that something was amiss with his expression and became suspicious, “Brat, did you leak the information?”
“Me?!” Ryan Wesley straightened his back in surprise, “Uncle, how dare I? Such an important secret of state and military matters, I would never breach even the tiniest of facts!”
Zack stared at him intently for more than ten seconds, “Really, it wasn’t you?” “Really, it wasn’t!” Ryan Wesley shook his head firmly.
“Good.” Zack was relieved and threw his cigarette butt in the trash, “Otherwise, Master Xander would flay you alive and I wouldn’t be able to save you.”
Ryan Wesley’s legs were shaking as he forced a smile, “Uncle, I have to go to class now…”
“Hurry up, you’ve already repeated two years. Can you get your act together and graduate next year? If you don’t graduate, I wouldn’t have the face to burn paper offerings for your parents.”
“Yeah… I know… I know…”
Ryan Wesley felt as if he had gone for a walk at the gates of hell!
After two days, Purple had to ask for leave from her teacher again since it was time for the court hearing.
She had good grades, kept a low profile, and didn’t cause trouble, so all the teachers liked her. Consequently, her leave requests were easily approved. However, they reminded her that final exams were approaching and she needed to focus on her studies.
She already knew who the murderer was, and the evidence was solid. Today’s court hearing should go smoothly. If things ended early, she might even be able to make it to her last study session.
That’s what Purple planned in her heart.
When she arrived at the courthouse, she found many reporters gathered at the entrance. They encircled Marcel Jefferson, incessantly asking questions—
“Mr. Jefferson, does the Graves Corporation’s dismissal of their top-tier lawyers and hiring you as the defense for Second Young Master Graves mean that your abilities far exceed that of the lawyers’ team?”
“Second Young Master Graves’ trial has been delayed for months, what is your strategy for today? Are you confident in winning the case?”
“It is rumored that the witness in this case has suspicions of perjury. Has the investigation concluded? If the perjury is confirmed, what impact will it have on the judgment of this case?”
The reporters questioned Marcel incessantly, nearly driving him crazy.
Eventually, it was the receptionist, Larissa Hamilton, who saved Marcel. Her small figure blocked the reporters’ microphones and opened a path for him, “Please make way! Mr. Jefferson needs to prepare for the court session. Your questions will be answered after the hearing ends. Thank you for your cooperation…”
Marcel was deeply moved. After escaping into the courthouse, he gratefully shook Larissa’s hand, “Larissa! I’m so glad you’re here today!”
“Larissa did a great job.” Purple followed and praised her with a smile.
Larissa bent her eyebrows and grinned, “I’m used to this kind of thing. Each time we have an advertisement company, I deal with it.”
Marcel affirmed again, “Very good! I’ll give you a raise when we get back!”
Larissa’s smile widened, “Boss is so kind and generous!”
Purple joined in the laughter.
As the three of them were talking, Purple caught a glimpse of Jade Carlson not far away, watching them.
Jade’s gloomy gaze sent a shiver down Purple’s spine.
Her brow furrowed instinctively, and she wondered: Will today’s court session really go smoothly?
