Chapter 709: Chapter 709 Internet Celebrity_1
The next day, Christopher Simonson’s condition improved.
Caitlin Carter breathed a sigh of relief, keeping an eye on her husband’s campaign progress while continuing to prepare for their trip to Clearwater.
However, the headline news that should have belonged to Christopher Simonson was bumped down by someone else—
Netizens went crazy sharing a video that showed Purple Summers in court from a few days ago.
Although it was a closed hearing that day, the gallery was not empty; some potential witnesses and friends and relatives of the plaintiff and defendant were present, and someone had secretly recorded the scene with a mobile phone.
The voice in the video was clear and forceful, and because of the angle, only half of Purple Summers’s profile could be seen. The witnesses and the defense lawyer’s disheartened expressions were all captured, and the short few minutes of courtroom debate were jokingly referred to as having “no dull moment.”
This video was initially shared among close friends, but after three days, it exploded in popularity, skyrocketing to the top headlines.
Taking advantage of this heat, someone immediately created a social media fan group account for Purple Summers, attracting forty thousand followers in just one day!
Purple Summers became… inadvertently an internet sensation.
Caitlin Carter breathed a sigh of relief, because this meant her parents should now accept Purple Summers defending her younger brother, even though they had agreed before, it was somewhat reluctant.
As for the mother-in-law…
After all, the case was a family matter of the Carter Family. No matter how displeased the mother-in-law was, she could only complain verbally and couldn’t forcefully intervene.
While Caitlin Carter was overjoyed, someone else was grinding their teeth in hatred.
Violet Nelson never expected that the trap she carefully set had become a stepping stone for Purple Summers, instead of ruining her reputation, it had made her famous far and wide!
Actually, Violet Nelson’s hatred for Purple Summers wasn’t that intense; if Purple Summers had stumbled this time, Violet might have just laughed it off and then forgotten about the existence of Purple Summers.
However, things didn’t go as she wished.
It felt as if she was walking down the street, kicked a pebble on a whim, only for the pebble to bounce back mockingly and smack her right in the face, stinging painfully!
Anger rushed straight to her head!
The hatred was tearing and growing in this rage, and Violet Nelson wanted to devour Purple Summers alive!
She was genuinely infuriated!
What was most infuriating was that her aunt seemed to really appreciate Purple Summers and even wanted to hire her to help overturn a case!
Could it be that she had carefully selected a legal aid case and sent Lindsay Carpenter to Purple Summers’s side so that Purple Summers could become an esteemed guest of the Simonson Family from then on?
This was too ironic! Violet Nelson would never allow it!
Violet Nelson was very clear that to secure her position in the Simonson Family, in the end, it relied on Christopher Simonson and Caitlin Carter.
Even though the family’s senior Mr. and Mrs. Simonson still maintained their authority, the two elders were already in their seventies, how much longer could they live?
Thinking of these things, Violet Nelson tossed and turned, unable to sleep, her thoughts in turmoil.
She had to come up with a way to make Caitlin Carter dislike Purple Summers, or better yet… come to utterly hate her!
Before Caitlin Carter knew it, the day of her departure arrived.
These past few days Christopher Simonson hadn’t been feeling well, with his low fever returning not long after subsiding, but fortunately, there were no other symptoms, so he was still in fair condition.
But, the mother-in-law couldn’t help but make some insinuating remarks, the gist being that she was only focused on finding a lawyer for her younger brother, neglecting her own husband’s life and death, implying that it was Caitlin’s lack of care that led to Christopher’s illness.
With old age, the elderly can be truly difficult to reason with, and no matter how aggrieved Caitlin felt inside, she could only try to endure as much as possible.
When Caitlin Carter was about to leave, Violet Nelson called out to her.
“Aunt,” Violet looked around and seeing that there was no one nearby, whispered to Caitlin, “I don’t want you to be at a disadvantage, so I’m telling you this in secret. You should keep your distance from that Purple Summers. There’s been talk that… that Purple Summers is an illegitimate daughter that uncle had outside.”
Caitlin Carter’s complexion went instantly pale.
