Purple Summers:”…”

As a sixteen-year-old girl who had just experienced a brush with death, what should her reaction be now?

Purple Summers widened her deer-like, moist black eyes, appearing somewhat frightened.

Dylan Summers spoke kindly, “Purple, feel free to voice any requests. I’ll try my best to make it up to you.”

Purple hesitated, “..Anything?”

Dylan nodded, “As long as it’s within my ability.”

Purple carefully contemplated in her heart…

In fact, Dylan wasn’t entirely wrong — if this matter escalated, it would be bad for everyone in the Summers Family.

According to Huaya Country’s Criminal Law, one could be held criminally liable for causing harm through negligence only if the harm resulted in serious injury or death. As an act of negligence, the punishment would generally be lighter; and since Laura was only seventeen, even if she were convicted, she would serve at most a few months in a juvenile detention center.

However, once she returned from the detention center, top universities would undoubtedly reject her, and her father, Dylan Summers, would face difficulties in advancing his career.

That’s why Dylan was so anxious.

But what does this have to do with Purple Summers?

Purple Summers returned to this family not to target Laura, a young girl.

Instead of sending Laura to a juvenile detention center, Purple hoped to benefit from the situation.

The hospital room was silent. Everyone was watching her, waiting for her answer.

Purple moistened her lips and whispered softly, “I want to go to school…”

Dylan’s expression relaxed, and he chuckled, “Purple, you want to go to school? That’s great. Just in time, too, since the new term starts after the summer holidays. I’ll arrange it in a few days. Do you want to continue middle school or go straight to high school?” novelbuddy .com

The original Purple didn’t finish middle school before dropping out.

Purple said, “I want to go to Grey International School and study high school.”

The smile on Dylan’s face that had just relaxed instantly froze.

Even Atra Blanc was surprised and her face changed. She quickly advised, “Purple, that school is hard to get into.”

Atra Blanc was not trying to speak on Dylan’s behalf. She was simply worried that her daughter would not adapt to such a prestigious school. 𝐟𝗿𝗲𝗲𝐰𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

One should know that Grey International School was one of the top three elite schools in the country. The students there were either rich or aristocratic, and the annual tuition fees were exorbitant. It was an unattainable existence for ordinary people!

Even Dylan, who had to pay tuition fees for Yolanda and Laura each year, felt the pinch!

Purple was just an adopted daughter who had dropped out of middle school, and now she had the audacity to want to go to Grey International School to study?!

Dylan felt annoyed in his heart, thinking that Purple was ungrateful.

“Grey… That school isn’t easy to get into.” Dylan’s eyes were a bit cold. “Purple, it’s good to be ambitious, but being overly competitive and vain isn’t. If you really want to study, going to other schools is actually the same.”

“I only want to go to Grey.” Purple’s voice was soft and weak, with a hint of tears, as if she would cry if Dylan said anything else.

Dylan came to mediate and certainly couldn’t make Purple cry.

However, he was reluctant to spend so much money on her education.

He was on the career path of a civil servant, unlike his younger brothers who were businessmen. His income relied on his salary and the dividends from the Summers Family’s shares. Since the family’s business was still in crisis, he didn’t have much money.

Seeing Purple on the verge of tears, Dylan felt annoyed and suddenly disliked the girl.

It was just a childish fight. Wasn’t he generous enough to compromise? She was simply insatiable with her demands.

“Purple, think about it carefully. Besides Grey, there are many other schools that are very good.” Dylan’s tone remained gentle yet distant and indifferent. “I have other matters to attend to. When you’ve made up your mind, let me know.”

That was a refusal.

After Dylan left, Alexander Summers took Purple’s soft little hand, played with it and laughed, “If he doesn’t want to send you to Grey, it’s fine. Big Brother will send you there..”
