Fortunate to Have You This Lifetime Chapter 241 – The Motive for Murder

Chapter 241: Chapter 241: The Motive for Murder

|

Aria Jackson couldn’t stand Jade Carlson gaining advantages. At this moment, she raged, “She sure knows when to pick a fight! Putting on a family reunion drama show right now, aiming to steal the limelight, is she? Why doesn’t she ascend to heaven?!”

After cursing, she grew worried and asked Purple Summers, “Will it affect the court hearing tomorrow? How’s Marcel doing with eliminating the surveillance footage?”

“Don’t worry. This relative of Mayor Carlson might not necessarily acknowledge her,” Purple Summers said coldly and unhurriedly, “But she will definitely want to show off.”

What kind of show it would be, depended on her mood…

After school, Purple Summers went to Prominence Law Firm.

At Marcel Jefferson’s firm, things were lively at this moment.

The keen-eyed receptionist had found surveillance footage that was exactly like the one from camera 2!

Marcel Jefferson was so thrilled that he repeatedly promised to raise the receptionist’s salary!

To compare these videos, he had been pulling two all-nighters. His eyes were bloodshot and his face was alarmingly pale at this point, but that couldn’t suppress his excitement as he laughed and yelled in his office.

Purple Summers was supposed to practice with Marcel Jefferson today, seeing him in this state, she decided to let it pass.

She patted Marcel Jefferson on the shoulder and advised, “Go home and rest. Get some sleep. We have a court hearing tomorrow.”

“We will win, right?” Marcel Jefferson’s mood was still on a high, his eyes bright behind his glasses.

Purple Summers smiled, “Yeah, as long as Mr. Jefferson doesn’t oversleep tomorrow, we will win.”

“Yeah!” Marcel Jefferson pumped his fist, extremely elated.

“Dinner’s on me today! Order whatever you like!” Marcel Jefferson announced extravagantly.

The receptionist suggested, “Boss, how about pizza?”

“Excellent, Larissa is our hero today, whatever Larissa says, we’ll have!”

The firm was in high spirits.

When the delivery arrived, Marcel Jefferson was the first to take a slice.

Worried that he might not wake up on time tomorrow, he hastily finished his meal. Without taking the time to entertain Purple Summers, he rushed home to sleep.

Purple Summers, however, stayed and joined the firm’s employees in their celebration.

Afterward, she stayed alone in Marcel Jefferson’s office, reviewing the case materials and meticulously watching the surveillance footage.

Purple Summers’ strong suit was that she never underestimated her enemies, not even if it were just her former low-ranking assistant.

Having worked under her for more than two years, although Jade Carlson hadn’t gotten much private time with her, Purple Summers was very familiar with her work style. She could almost predict Jade Carlson’s performance in court tomorrow.

Easy to deal with.

But… if Jade Carlson’s father truly was Mayor Carlson, George Carlson, it reminded Purple Summers about something.

She and Aria Jackson had once worked on a major case, involving official bribery.

At that time, clues pointed directly to the incumbent Mayor George Carlson. Vaguely, it seemed like there were higher-ranking officials behind the scene. So, without hesitation, she and Aria Jackson wrapped up the case promptly upon gathering evidence against the minister.

Handling corruption cases was always particularly tricky. Such cases involved a wide range of associations, complicated relationships, and evidence was difficult to gather. A slight slip-up could be fatal.

Even if they risked their lives, they might not get to the bottom of the case. During the process of unraveling the truth, the other party might scapegoat someone, leaving them nothing after all their hard work.

Purple Summers and Aria Jackson felt that their ability and status wasn’t sufficient to confront this powerful force directly. They wisely wrapped up the case.

Being able to topple a minister was a substantial blow to the other party. They didn’t come away empty-handed.

Purple Summers remembered that shortly after she died, Jade Carlson tried to take her laptop.

…Could it be, Jade Carlson thought she possessed damning evidence against Mayor Carlson and thus plotted to kill her?
