Fortunate to Have You This Lifetime

Chapter 277: Did He Dive

Translator: 549690339

Everyone in the room was taken aback.

Even the well-informed Gavin Graves couldn’t understand Purple Summers’ reaction.

Due to the surprise, Gavin didn’t answer for a moment, but Purple recovered first and realized her abrupt question. She quickly apologized, “I’m sorry, I just want to ask if you went diving in Clearwater… in August this year?”

As she asked the question, her clear and bright eyes stared straight at Gavin, as if to confirm something.

…Could it be him?

Gavin’s eyes were deep and quiet, and after a moment of silence, he smiled and said, “Miss Summers, have you misunderstood something? I was in Australia in August and not in our country.”

Purple came to her senses.

She also thought her question was quite foolish…

But just now, when she suddenly saw a box of gold, she remembered the mysterious person who had taken her through mountains and rivers to see the mage, offering a box of gold in exchange for her resurrection…

Where did that person go…?

“What’s wrong with you?” Marcel Jefferson didn’t understand why Purple suddenly asked this, and worriedly asked, “Does this have anything to do with the case? …But no, if you wanted to swim, you’d go to the sea, not the riverbed with all the darkness and confusion. There’s nothing fun in there.”

“It’s nothing…” Purple forced a smile and didn’t want to discuss the topic further.

She lowered her eyes and looked at the gold bars on the tea table again. Her emotions were now calm, and she smiled and said, “Young Master Graves, why don’t you wait until the case is won to reward me? I am young, and if you suddenly give me so many gold bars, I worry that I won’t sleep well.”

“Miss Summers is too modest,” said Gavin, a gentle, scholarly smile on his face. “This is not your reward. You’ve been working hard for the Graves Family on the case. It’s appropriate to compensate for your efforts. If we win the case, I will express my gratitude further.”

Purple still refused to accept. Gerald Graves’ case still had no leads, and taking the gold bars seemed inappropriate.

But Gavin was insistent.

Unwilling to accept the gold bars or offend Gavin, Purple thought for a moment and came up with a compromise she believed was acceptable.

“Can I use these gold bars to exchange for a favor from Young Master Graves?” Purple looked at Gavin sincerely, “The gold bars are not very useful to me, but Young Master Graves’ favor is.”

Gavin was amused by her serious bargaining and thought Purple was adorable, so he sighed with a smile, “Miss Summers is very smart to know my favor is more valuable than gold bars.”

Purple smiled shyly.

Thus, they reached an agreement between the two parties. Purple took the case file and, with Marcel Jefferson, said goodbye to Gavin.

Lester Williams escorted the two downstairs.

Yolanda Summers was still downstairs.

She had been anxiously waiting for a long time. She never expected to sit there for over an hour without even seeing Gavin and now she was leaving?

“Should I…bid farewell to Young Master Graves?…” Yolanda forced a smile and didn’t want to leave, “Leaving without saying goodbye is somewhat impolite, isn’t it?”

Purple retorted sarcastically, “You go ahead then. Young Master Graves is just getting angry over Ms. Foster suddenly going upstairs. You can comfort and appease him.”

Yolanda was choked up.

If even Bella Foster, who was familiar with the Graves Family, angered Young Master Graves by simply going upstairs, what about her who was a complete outsider?

Seeing the steward, Mr. Williams, with a faint smile on his enigmatic face, Yolanda felt as if a drum was being beaten in her heart, panicked and uneasy, and she dared not speak again.

The Graves Family’s villa was not in the city. The surrounding area featured beautiful rivers and no crowds, traffic, or noise. Lester arranged a car to take them back.

Before leaving, Lester told Purple through the car window, “You don’t have to worry about Ms. Foster’s matter, we will handle things at the school, so as not to cause you any displeasure.”

Purple smiled and said, “Thankyou.”

It was normal for people to question her abilities due to her young age, so there was no need to hold a grudge against others over it. However, when she had been insulted, the feeling was indeed terrible.
