Chapter 831: Chapter 831: Indifference_1
The husband was at the peak of his power, and the younger brother had been in prison for two years. Anyone could weigh their importance.
Despite her emotional struggle to accept it, Caitlin Carter knew it was something she had to do.
She couldn’t let the innocent Christopher Simonson suffer this undeserved accusation!
The impact of the incident was too terrible!
For a politician, once stained, if not promptly cleared, it’s like a wounded beast. All former political enemies would swarm like flies drawn to the scent of blood, starting from the wound, little by little, devouring and corroding the entire beast!
As Caitlin Carter nodded, everyone immediately clarified their direction.
“We must emphasize this point tomorrow, the president had absolutely no knowledge of the matter, he was completely unaware! We absolutely cannot allow the situation to spiral out of control,”
“The servant responsible for cleaning the villa, needs to be immediately controlled. If necessary, her family should be monitored to prevent them from being bought off and used by certain individuals.”
“Contact several renowned editors-in-chief as soon as possible to gain support from public opinion, making the subsequent work much easier to unfold…”
Suggestions were flying, plans were formulated, and details were nailed down. Everyone helped Caitlin Carter repeatedly revise and polish the speech for tomorrow, even marking several places suitable for tears to be shed.
As long as the aftermath was dealt with perfectly, the incident could disappear without a trace, doing no harm to Christopher Simonson’s reputation.
The only regret was that it was not yet perfect.
The Edward Carter murder case would undoubtedly be dug up again — the First Lady’s younger brother was a murdering psychopath — a subject journalists would love, destined to dominate the headlines of some news media.
By the end of the meeting, it was already the early hours of the morning.
Caitlin Carter walked back to her room numbly, seeing Purple Summers waiting at her door.
“Purple?” Caitlin Carter slowly came to her senses and asked, “Why are you still up so late?”
“It’s not just me who hasn’t slept, right?” Purple Summers said. “With such a big incident, I suppose no one in the family will sleep well tonight.”
Caitlin Carter forced a smile, “Don’t worry too much, everyone is looking for solutions. It will be okay.”
“Yes, it will be okay.” Purple Summers smiled faintly and turned to go back to her room.
Watching her leave, Caitlin Carter felt a surge of pale helplessness in her heart.
What was she hoping for? …Just because she saw Purple Summers standing at her door, did she subconsciously think Purple Summers had some good idea?
After all, Purple Summers was just a teenage girl, her hopes were irrational, her disappointments too…
The next day, the whole family gathered for breakfast, the atmosphere at the dining table was heavy and lifeless.
At times like these, no one had an appetite.
Caitlin Carter could only swallow mechanically, needing enough energy to face the deluge of questions from reporters that was to come.
Purple Summers was the first to finish eating.
She gently wiped her mouth and instructed the servant nearby, “Tell the driver to wait for me at the entrance.”
“Yes, miss,” the servant replied.
Everyone at the table was taken aback.
Caitlin Carter asked in a murmur, “Purple, you… you’re going out?”
“Yes.” Purple Summers had already stood up and was walking towards the staircase. “I have an appointment with Autumn today.”
They were going out to play again?! Everyone was shocked.
Purple Summers’s figure had already walked far away, leaving the dining area without a hint of hesitation in her steps.
Her own family member had been discovered with incriminating evidence, her father faced false accusation and attacks, yet she couldn’t care less! Not a single question asked, just taking the ten-year-old girl out to play every day!
Even if the Simonson family had indeed made mistakes in the past, but Christopher Simonson had sincerely repented, Old Master Simonson had done everything within his power to accept her, and Caitlin Carter had been nothing but caring towards her, yet she couldn’t even offer a word of concern, so indifferent she made the servants of the Presidential Palace seem caring in comparison!
