Nathaniel Summers’ advice was met with Purple Summers’ silence.

In fact, Purple originally had no presence in the Summers family. Although she and Nathaniel shared a sibling bond, they hardly spoke a word to each other throughout the year.

Nathaniel didn’t know why, but recently, he couldn’t help but notice his little sister.

He looked at the girl in front of him.

She was beautiful. After washing off her heavy makeup, her skin was white and lustrous like a delicately carved doll. Everything about her was exquisite, especially her gem-like dark eyes that seemed to absorb the sun’s brilliance, shining with every glance.

A gentle breeze blew, swaying the flowering branches behind her, creating an enchanting beauty.

Nathaniel’s mind wandered momentarily, as if he saw a familiar shadow on her.

“Brother,” she said softly, her voice calm, “I should get going.”

Nathaniel was awakened from his fantasy.

“Purple, don’t be stubborn,” he advised, assuming a brotherly demeanor. “It’s Laura’s fault this happened to you. Big brother has promised to make it up to you, and Laura can apologize too. But going to Grey’s school is impossible. Aunt Jade will come to discuss the mediation with your mother.”

Purple didn’t want to listen to him, but when he mentioned Jade Carlson, she couldn’t help but stop.

“…Jade Carlson?” Purple was somewhat perplexed. “She’s just an intern and has no right to intervene in a case investigation.”

“She is now a prosecutor,” Nathaniel looked at her as if she were an ignorant child. “Prosecutors have the power to decide on initiating, launching, and terminating criminal investigations. What happened to you is merely a security issue. Aunt Jade will not initiate a case investigation.”

Upon hearing this, Purple murmured, “Jade Carlson worked as an assistant for three years. After my sister-in-law died, she became a prosecutor?…”

Nathaniel’s face changed, looking uncomfortable at her connecting these two incidents.

Nathaniel said sternly, “According to the regulations, after graduation from the Judicial Training Institute, one will intern in the Prosecutor’s Office for one to three years. After the internship, they become a formal prosecutor. Aunt Jade has already completed her three-year internship. Becoming a prosecutor is perfectly reasonable. Purple, don’t say such things in the future.”

Purple listened to Nathaniel’s rebuttal for Jade and laughed softly, “Brother, although I’m young, I know a thing or two about the Prosecutor’s Office. Jade interned under my sister-in-law, and without her nomination, how could she have been promoted?”

Not waiting for Nathaniel to respond, she continued, “There were not only Jade interned under my sister-in-law. Others were promoted after two years. Why did my sister-in-law always suppress her application?”

Nathaniel finally looked away, his gaze at Purple becoming one of unfamiliarity.

Purple’s mouth curled up with an innocent smile, yet her eyes displayed a sharp edge. “Because Jade Carlson’s capabilities were insufficient to become a prosecutor. Even after interning for three years, she could only be an assistant! Brother, I’m not afraid of Jade Carlson, and I don’t care about Laura’s apology. Grey, I’ve decided to go.”

—Grey, I’m going.

Nathaniel watched Purple walk away, rendered speechless by her words.

At that moment, Purple unexpectedly paused and turned back, revealing a mocking smile.

“Oh, by the way, brother, are you sitting here to reminisce about my sister-in-law?”

Nathaniel couldn’t understand why she abruptly asked him this.

Purple’s eyes were cold and unhurried. “At least… you should wipe off the lipstick mark on your neck before reminiscing, right?”

Nathaniel’s face instantly turned pale!

He hurriedly and awkwardly wiped his neck, and by the time he looked up again, Purple’s figure had long disappeared…
