Fortunate to Have You This Lifetime Chapter 319 – The Duties of a Prosecutor

Chapter 319: Chapter 319: The Duties of a Prosecutor

|

Marcel Jefferson was embarrassed and shook hands with Allen Rivera. “Just doing my job and fulfilling my responsibilities,” he said.

“To do your job well is the greatest respect for yourself,” Allen said seriously. He shook hands with Marcel and then turned to Purple Summers, extending his hand again.

Curious, both Marcel and Purple looked at each other.

Purple didn’t expect that Allen would notice her.

Out of politeness, Purple reached out her hand.

As they shook hands, Allen spoke earnestly: “You did a great job as well, giving timely cues to the lawyer during the crucial moments and selecting key information points. It’s very rare.”

Apps_like_Purple and Marcel exchanged glances and laughed together.

After greeting them, Allen packed up his things and left first.

Jade Carlson followed behind him, holding the file materials in her hands, her head drooping, her face looking very bad.

Watching them leave, Marcel said with admiration, “What a nice prosecutor, even after losing the case, he doesn’t hold a grudge against us. He even shook hands with us. Such a broad mind…”

“Why would he hold a grudge against us?” Apps_like_Purple laughed. “The prosecutor’s job is not to defeat the defense lawyer, but to catch the real criminal. In this regard, we share the same stance, and he should thank us.”

“That’s true,” Marcel said, scratching the back of his head and joining her laughter. “I guess I was mistaken.”

The two walked out of the courtroom side by side and saw Gavin Graves and Lester Williams in the hallway outside.

Gavin personally came to pick up his younger brother.

With Gerald Graves released on the spot, all the long-repressed emotions vanished.

Seeing his older brother arrive, Gerald became unrestrained, speaking shamelessly: “Now everyone knows, right? I was framed! Brother, you have to hold a press conference for me, and explain to those reporters. I’ve been playing around for so many years, how could I not know how to please someone, how to kill them with pleasure? S-M is even considered an art form abroad…”

Seeing Gerald’s foul-mouthed remarks, Marcel’s sense of accomplishment for winning the case immediately shrank by half, muttering, “I really don’t know if saving this kind of person is right or wrong…”

At that moment, a janitor passed by accidentally stumbled and fell.

Gerald reached out to help her up and said without respect for her age, “Auntie, at your age, you shouldn’t be working anymore. Go to the wet market, dance at the square, and enjoy life.”

Afterward, probably because he was in a good mood, Gerald even helped the cleaning lady pick up her mop.

Apps_like_Purple witnessed this scene from a distance and exchanged a smile with Marcel, joking, “See, he’s not entirely a lost cause. We did our part, and as for the rest, let’s leave it to the gods.”

Marcel laughed too.

Undoubtedly, Gerald’s small act had eased Marcel’s mind a lot.

Reporters from outside swarmed in, surrounding Gavin and Gerald. Fortunately, with the presence of the Graves Family’s many bodyguards, the situation did not get out of control.

Gavin did not allow his brother to speak carelessly in front of the media. He led Gerald straight outside, but some sharp-eyed reporters spotted Marcel and immediately rushed over with their cameras.

Purple avoided the scene and went into the bathroom. She didn’t need fame or glory.

As usual, she changed clothes inside the restroom, washed off her makeup, and freshened up before coming out.

Unexpectedly, she ran into Lester Williams at the entrance of the courthouse lobby. He had been waiting for her purposely.

“Ms. Summers,” Lester was as humble and respectful as ever, “Young Master Graves has asked you and Mr. Jefferson to join him for dinner. We hope you’ll accept.”

Purple then gave him an apologetic smile, “I’m sorry, Mr. Williams, but I have to go to the hospital now.”

Confusion flashed across Lester’s eyes.

Purple told Lester about Larissa Hamilton’s bag being snatched and her falling down the stairs. “Today has been a fight to the last, and failure would not only disappoint the young master but also stir up unnecessary controversy from the media. Fortunately, our lawyer Mr. Jefferson has made everyone proud,” she said.
