“Is there a problem, prosecutor?” Purple Summers smiled, her expression calm and composed, perfectly at ease.

“You’re the one causing trouble!” Jade Carlson glared at Purple with a venomous stare, hatred simmering in her eyes.

She had put her heart and soul into this case, carefully arranging every step of the court hearing, meticulously preparing every question, all in hopes of making a name for herself and showing off her brilliance to the people of Clearwater City!

But now, her glory, her honor, everything she had carefully prepared—had been completely ruined by Purple!

Jade wished she could grind the girl in front of her into dust!

Purple replied, “You’re giving me too much credit. The court hearing is a serious matter focused on evidence and facts—I wouldn’t dare to mess around.”

Her voice paused for a moment, her bright eyes narrowed slightly, and the smile at the corner of her lips turned mocking: “However, prosecutor Jade, your performance today really opened my eyes. To treat a murderer as a witness for questioning is truly unprecedented and unparalleled, isn’t it?”

Jade trembled with rage. Forgetting any semblance of decorum, she raised her hand to slap Purple!

“You wretched girl!—”

Her palm struck down, but it was firmly caught by Purple.

Jade tried to pull her hand back, but despite several attempts, she couldn’t break free. She gasped in pain and shock.

This Purple was incredibly sinister!

“Your heart isn’t really invested in this work. You see it as a stepping stone to greater success. Jade Carlson, you tarnish this profession while seeking its honor. How laughable is that?” Purple smiled, her expression cold and distant, looking down at Jade with contemptuous pity.

Jade’s fury was ignited by Purple’s eyes.

Being ridiculed and reprimanded left her burning with rage, wanting to spit blood.

Purple released Jade’s hand and walked past her indifferently.

Distinct red marks appeared on Jade’s snow-white wrist. Furious, she shouted, “Purple Summers! I won’t let you off!”

Purple stopped in her tracks and turned to look at her.

On one side was a cold, arrogant face, while on the other, one filled with spite.

“Nathaniel Summers’s and Suzanne Saunders’s wedding party only had close friends and family attending. As an assistant, why were you there? Was Suzanne’s death really an accident?” Purple asked her in a casual tone.

Jade paled as if struck by lightning.

With an icy gaze, Purple ignored Jade and turned away to leave.

Outside the courtroom, the cold wind bit as the sunlight bathed its warmth.

Not far away, Marcel Jefferson was surrounded by reporters, his face flushed with happiness, as he shared his victorious speech, relishing his moment of triumph.

Purple adjusted her scarf, the corners of her lips curling up in a subtle smile.

Today’s court hearing had certainly been entertaining.

As glorious as Jade had been before the hearing, she was now equally humiliated. Thanks to the media, her renown would quickly turn to infamy, making for quite the spectacle.

And as for her so-called father…

Would Mayor Carlson still acknowledge her as his daughter at this point?

Purple took a car back to school, her spirits high all the way. She couldn’t help but laugh when she thought of Jade’s hard-earned recognition from Mayor Carlson, almost securing her place as the mayor’s daughter, only to lose everything and bear the brunt of disgrace.

Jade had schemed against Purple’s life, causing her to lose everything. Now, Purple would take it all back, bit by bit.

High on her success, Purple couldn’t help but share the story of the trial with Zara Jameson and Jane McCain at school. Despite the serious subject matter being far removed from their usual school life, knowing the true criminal had been brought to justice brought cheer.

After school, the three friends gathered for a dinner celebration, laughing and joking well into the night before heading home.

Atra Blanc was cleaning the living room when she saw Purple returning and asked with a smile, “You got back so late. Did you go buy a gift for your brother? What did you get? Let me see!”

Purple thought to herself: Oh no…
