Fortunate to Have You This Lifetime - Chapter 236

Chapter 236: Chapter 236: The Winning One

The physical education teacher recorded Purple Summers’ score, praising her with satisfaction, “You’ve done well in the jump. Did you practice in advance? Everyone should learn from Purple Summers.”

Then Purple Summers broke the women’s 100-meter record, high jump record, shot put record…

Jane McCain stared dumbfounded at Purple Summers, speechless.

…Is this supposed to be a state of just recovering from a serious illness? If she was in good health, would she be flying high?!

When it was time for the 800-meter race, Jane McCain asked again, “You’re not fast at running, right?”

Purple Summers laughed, “Yeah, I’m not fast.”

Then she easily broke the 800-meter record.

Jane didn’t know if she was too shocked or if the drink she had earlier was too strong, as she came in last in the 800-meter race and was notified by the teacher to have a make-up exam next Monday.

She was in complete chaos and went back to Zara Jameson, complaining, “Purple Summers is just a freak! Not only does she dominate our regular exams, but she also aced the sports exams and broke records!”

Purple Summers laughed heartily.

The trivial matters at school made her happy and at ease.

After school, Purple Summers went outside the school gate.

The person who came to pick her up was not the family driver, but Marcel Jefferson. They had agreed to investigate a case on Euphony Road today.

Compared to the carefree Purple Summers, Marcel looked much more downcast, with a look of bitterness on his face.

“What’s the matter?” Purple Summers asked as she got into the car.

Marcel Jefferson was indeed quite depressed. However, as a grown man, it was quite embarrassing for him to complain to a young girl, so he quietly started the car and said nothing.

After driving for a while, he felt there was no need to keep it a secret from

Purple Summers and told her, “Two lawyers in my law firm quit.”

Marcel’s law firm was not large, with only a few lawyers and some interns. The sudden departure of two people was a severe blow to the firm.

On hearing this, Purple Summers laughed and asked, “Are they new hires?”

Marcel looked at her, “How did you know?”

“New lawyers are always ambitious and eager to become the envoys of justice. You want to defend Caspian Maple as innocent, and they probably can’t take it, thinking you’re only out for profit.”

Marcel was silent and then told Purple Summers with frustration, “Two new hires left, and… it seems like some of the experienced lawyers in the firm, although they haven’t left, are looking for new jobs…”

Purple Summers couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

The new lawyers left because they were young and impulsive.

As for the older lawyers, they left because they thought Prominence Law Firm’s reputation would be damaged after the court hearing and they didn’t want to be affected as well.

It’s just human nature.

Marcel grimaced and said, “Miss, don’t laugh… my law firm is falling apart…”

“Once we win the case, we’ll be able to attract more people,” Purple Summers smilingly comforted him.

“Can we really win…?” Marcel looked ahead and murmured softly.

“Yes, we will win.” Purple Summers replied, looking sideways at the scenery outside the car window. Her voice so soft that it was almost inaudible, “We must win.”

At the intersection of Peaceful Avenue and Euphony Road, there was a large area of old houses that had been demolished. With the road renovation, there was no traffic monitoring on this section of the road.

Purple Summers asked Marcel to stop the car and looked around.

Decayed, desolate.

Especially towards Euphony Road, it was even more desolate. One side was a forest, and the other side was a river. The empty and straight road extended far ahead, with a car passing by infrequently.

Purple Summers and Marcel walked a long way along Euphony Road, not seeing any side roads. If it was true as Caspian Maple said that the black car had driven away along Euphony Road, then, unless the car drove into the river, it wouldn’t be possible not to be caught on surveillance.

“Where is the location of the surveillance camera?” Purple Summers asked.

Marcel pointed ahead, “Over there, in front of us is a factory. The boss was afraid that the workers would steal the materials and sell them, so he installed many surveillance cameras.”
