Chapter 298: Chapter 298: Second Trial

Translator: 549690339

Alexander Summers’ situation made Purple Summers feel down.

She was in a depressive state, only showing a smile when she was at school with Zara Jameson and Jane McCain.

After attending school for a couple of days, she saw Marcel Jefferson picking her up at her doorstep, and suddenly realized that the day for the second trial had arrived.

In the back seat of the car were the clothes she needed. Marcel was driving while saying, “Mr. Ross has arranged everything, and all major media reporters were invited. Today, we just need to go through the motions. It should be very easy.”

Purple listened to him quietly while putting on her black suit jacket.

“…After the second young master’s acquittal, there will be a celebration banquet tonight. Mr. Ross will undoubtedly be the main contributor, but it’s Young Master Graves’ intention to invite the entire legal team. It will be a lively gathering,” Marcel rambled on.

I thought about it carefully these days and feel that it’s actually a good thing. We don’t have to do anything, we get paid, and we still have the chance to be seen by Young Master Graves. Not bad.”

He finished, glanced at Purple in the rearview mirror, and said, “If you don’t want to go… after the court hearing, I’ll speak with Mr. Williams for you. I know your high school is very strict, and final exams are just around the corner…”

Purple nodded indifferently, seemingly absent-minded.

By the time they got to the courthouse, there were indeed many reporters crowding at the entrance, and various types of cameras lined up in front of the courthouse.

As it was not a public hearing, these reporters couldn’t enter, so they could only wait outside.

When Marcel and Purple entered, most of the other lawyers had already arrived and were all sitting at the defense table.

Young Master Graves wasn’t there, but Mr. Williams was sitting in one of the spectator seats.

Marcel noticed that the defense table was full, and no one seemed to be giving up their seat. He couldn’t help but show irritation in his face.

Purple, on the other hand, remained calm and composed, sitting down in a spectator seat.

“These people are too arrogant.” Marcel said indignantly as he sat down beside Purple, “They look down on others.”

“It’s normal. We didn’t have much to be proud of in the first place.” Purple replied indifferently.

How could a third-rate lawyer and a high school student expect respect?

The attitudes of the lawyers in the legal team were understandable, but it also exposed their narrow-mindedness.

Mr. Ross, the lead lawyer, was chatting and laughing with the others, as if they had victory in their hands. He seemed to notice Marcel but ignored him as Marcel was sitting in the spectator seats.

Marcel became even more resentful.

Soon, the prosecutor, judge, and jury arrived.

Marcel suddenly elbowed Purple, “Miss… look, look over there!”

What’s going on?

Purple turned her head and was surprised to see Jade Carlson.

Why was Jade here?

Seeing Jade following Allen Rivera, Purple understood—after Jade was demoted to an intern, she coincidentally became Allen’s intern assistant.

How ironic.

Both of them used to be Suzanne Saunders’ assistants—one was now able to stand on their own, while the other was still an assistant.

Jade also saw Purple, and her eyes flashed with resentment.

“What are you looking at?” Allen asked her.

Jade came to her senses and hurriedly lowered her head, saying, “Nothing.”

Allen frowned slightly and said, “The court session is starting soon. Stay focused.” f𝐫e𝚎we𝚋n𝐨𝘃el.𝗰𝗼𝐦

“Yes, I’ll be attentive.” Jade agreed, with humiliation surging in her heart…

She had been an assistant before, but she didn’t mind at that time, as she was looking forward to achieving something. However, after she became a prosecutor and tasted that lofty feeling, returning to her previous position felt extremely humiliating!

If it weren’t for Purple, the one sitting in the prosecutor’s seat should have been Jade Carlson!
