Purple Summers walked along the secluded path in the garden towards the mansion in front.
The splendid and magnificent European-style mansion shimmered in the sunlight, with its pure white pillars standing out even more and the greenery becoming even greener. Water flowed gently from the mouths of the statues in the fountain, making everything around seem so refined.
This was a place that easily aroused romantic feelings.
When she first moved in, she thought she would find happiness here, but who could have known, she lost her life…
Purple Summers stood at the door, with the morning summer sun casting a soft golden hue on her. Her eyes, as black as fine inkstones, seemed to absorb all the splendor around, sparkling brilliantly.
She squinted and smiled, revealing a hint of cunning in her vivacity.
She estimated it well.
At the moment, everyone was having a meal in the dining room. She entered the second floor through the staircase in the living room without crossing paths with anyone.
Purple Summers grasped the door handle, turning it gently, entering the room she shared with Nathaniel Summers…
The room was somewhat different from her memories.
All her belongings had been packed up after her death, but her mourning photo was added to the vanity table.
Purple Summers was not in the mood for reminiscing.
As soon as she entered the room, she saw a storage box by the cabinet with her work files neatly arranged inside it.
A prosecutor’s badge, several indictments that hadn’t been dealt with, pending court records, meeting records, and her laptop.
Even though she occasionally used her computer for work, it was still her personal property.
Purple Summers couldn’t figure out why Jade Carlson wanted to take away the laptop, and there was no time now to think it over. In just a brief moment, she made the safest decision –
She quickly registered a new email, packaged all the files on her laptop’s hard drive and sent it to the email, then the computer was formatted.
Yes, all cleared.
Whatever Jade Carlson wanted, she wouldn’t obtain it.
Her computer stored a huge quantity of case files. As they were all documents and images, sending them was quick. Only the formatting took a long time.
Purple Summers locked the door from the inside, focusing entirely on the slowly advancing progress bar on the screen.
She was not panicked at all.
Even if Nathaniel Summers suddenly returned to the room, it wouldn’t matter, because he would find the door locked. Then he would go to find the servant for the spare key. In the meantime, she could make her exit.
The progress bar on the screen had reached 100%; formatting was completed.
Nathaniel Summers had not returned yet.
Purple Summers put the laptop back in its original place and quickly left the room.
But this time, her good fortune seemed to have run out. She had barely taken two steps, when she heard the sound of a door lock turning from the room ahead!
It was Laura Summers’ room!
She had completely forgotten Laura Summers!
Laura Summers had an injury to her lips, for which she received four stitches at the hospital. Although the doctor assured her that there’d be no scars, for the beauty obsessed young girl, it was a serious disfigurement!
Laura Summers probably wouldn’t go out or meet people for several days, how could she possibly go downstairs for breakfast like everyone else!
This situation happened too quickly and too suddenly! Purple Summers didn’t have time to think and instinctively opened the closest door and slid in!
The room was in total darkness.
Simultaneously, Laura Summers’ complaints came from outside –
“It’s all because of that damned Purple Summers! Dad, when are you coming back? It’s so painful…even just speaking…”
She was on the phone. Her voice interrupted occasionally: “…Yes, the doctor said it would recover before school starts… Dad, can’t you just kick her out? Our Summers family is not an orphanage, we’re not obligated to take care of other people’s children! I can’t even invite my friends over now, it’s so embarrassing!…”
The voice gradually drifted away and disappeared.
Purple Summers sighed a breath of relief.
As she turned around to leave, she found her foot stuck on something and…she couldn’t move….
