Chapter 143: Chapter 143: Losing Face (Additional updates for over a thousand recommendation votes)

The music continued to play softly, but no one spoke, and the atmosphere was eerily quiet.

Everyone was dumbfounded, their gazes focused on Purple Summers.

Distant relatives who were not familiar with her whispered, “Who is Purple Summers?”

Once they figured out who she was, they were even more shocked.

Wasn’t she just an adopted daughter? She looked so young and naive. Why would Mrs. Jameson personally present her with this gift and such an important one at that?

Atra Blanc asked in surprise, “Purple, why would Mrs. Jameson give you a gift?”

And the gift was the Goddess of Justice statue.

Purple Summers looked up, glanced at the crowd with various expressions, and her eyes were like a tranquil pond, clear and unruffled.

“Perhaps it is to thank me for helping clear Mr. Jameson’s name,” replied Purple Summers calmly.

Her simple words sent a shockwave through the banquet hall.

Everyone was stunned, and discussions broke out.

“Wasn’t it said that the Jameson Family invited Jade Carlson?”

“Why would they invite the adopted daughter of the Summers Family?”

“Could it be that the case was really solved by the adopted daughter of the Summers Family? That’s impossible, isn’t it…”

“If it wasn’t her who solved the case, why would Mrs. Jameson give a gift? Isn’t that obvious? The people of the Jameson Family aren’t stupid!”

“So, the Jameson Family never actually invited Jade Carlson. Oh my god, did you see? She just reached out to accept the gift…”

“Tsk, she must be thinking too much of herself…”

Jade Carlson’s face flushed red, and she stood rooted to the spot, her blood seeming to freeze in her veins.

Laura Summers and Yolanda Summers looked just as pale and unhappy.

Had Mrs. Jameson lost her mind? Why did she invite Purple Summers?!

Third Grandma Summers squinted at the statue and smiled, “It’s a good item, girl. This is a token of appreciation from an elder, you should keep it safe. Don’t let someone else take it by mistake and cause a fuss. Sigh, ever since my older brother passed away, the Summers Family has been in disarray, bringing all sorts of strange people into the house.”

Purple Summers smiled and agreed.

Jade Carlson’s face had turned purple with humiliation, and she felt unbearably embarrassed.

Third Grandma Summers was clearly talking about her being one of those strange people!

Had the old woman gone senile?! She was actually siding with Purple Summers! An adopted daughter, even more despicable than an illegitimate child, who had been taken in by a mistress!

Jade Carlson was mad with shame and anger!

Laura Summers rushed over angrily and confronted Purple Summers, “What have you done? Mr. Jameson’s trial is about to start, and you continue to deceive the Jameson Family with your lies. Aren’t you afraid that you won’t be able to handle the consequences?! Our Summers Family’s reputation has been dragged down by you!”

She openly called Purple Summers a liar.

“Chloe Bennett has turned herself in,” Purple Summers said calmly and indifferently. “Just two hours ago, she went to the police station and admitted that she had fabricated her statement. The charges have been dropped, and I’m sure the media will report on it tomorrow.”

The crowd exploded upon hearing Purple Summers’ words!

Henry Jameson’s case was really resolved! The other party had voluntarily confessed!

“This is impossible! Impossible!” Laura Summers could not accept the outcome. She had been hoping for Purple Summers to be humiliated, so why had it ended like this?!

Dylan Summers, in the crowd, saw his daughter’s embarrassment and shouted sternly, “Laura, go back to your room!”

But Laura was not willing to give up. She turned to Jade Carlson for help, “Aunt Jade! Didn’t you say that only a settlement could solve this case?! Purple Summers is talking nonsense, right?!”

Jade Carlson once again became the focus of the crowd. Her face turned pale, and she looked as if she was about to collapse.

Dylan Summers could not stand it any longer and angrily commanded, “Yolanda! Take your sister back to her room!”

Yolanda had lost her initial elegance and walked upstairs with her head down, pulling her sister along hurriedly.

Jade Carlson’s face twisted into an ugly smile. Looking at Purple Summers, her eyes were filled with jealousy, anger, and extreme humiliation and hatred.

“….Purple, such good news, and you kept it a secret from the whole family until now?”
