In the glittering living room of the Summers Family home, Laura Summers sat on the sofa, sobbing to Nathaniel Summers and Jade Carlson beside her.

“I really didn’t mean to. I didn’t know she’d fall… Aunt Jade, you work at the Prosecutor’s Office. You must help me! I don’t want to go to jail!” Her eyes were red and swollen, showing that she hadn’t stopped crying the entire night.

Laura was terrified by Purple’s fall into the water.

Jade comforted her, “Laura, don’t be afraid. In such cases, the outcome is usually what matters. As long as Purple is okay, at most it would be regarded as a public security case, and the police won’t even file a case.”

Nathaniel was more frustrated and harsher than Jade about the incident that happened at home: “Fortunately, no one was killed this time, or no one could help you! Laura, why do you always have to pick on Purple? You’re already 17 years old, not a child anymore. Even if it’s a joke, you should know where to draw the line!”

Laura seemed even more choked, lowering her head and sobbing continuously.

Jade stepped in as a mediator, smiling, “Alright, stop scolding her. You know, the railing on the lakeside pier is indeed too low, and it’s easy for people to accidentally fall when playing around. So you can’t blame Laura entirely…”

While talking, Jade handed a tissue to Laura to wipe her tears, “Stop crying, your Uncle Nathaniel is just trying to teach you a lesson for your own good. Don’t be so stubborn anymore, okay?”

Laura nodded tearfully.

As they were talking, Dylan Summers came back from outside.

He took a day off specifically to handle his daughter’s situation.

Laura immediately stood up, nervously looking at Dylan, “Dad! Did Purple agree to reconcile?”

Dylan was taken aback to see Nathaniel and Jade there, but quickly put on a smile, “Oh, Jade’s here? I heard you were promoted to prosecutor. I haven’t had the chance to congratulate you yet. Have you celebrated?”

Jade modestly smiled, glanced at Nathaniel beside her, and said, “Not yet, I’ve been too busy lately…”

“I see,” Dylan nodded in understanding, not asking any further questions.

He was well aware of the delicate relationship between Nathaniel and Jade. It must be that Suzanne Saunders had recently passed away, and Jade didn’t want to seem too ostentatious, so as not to hurt Nathaniel’s feelings.

Nathaniel advised, “Brother, you should take Laura to apologize in person. We should clear up any misunderstandings. But if you go over now to ask for reconciliation, Aunt Atra might feel that we are bullying them due to our powerful family background.”

Dylan’s face darkened, “Bullying? Nathaniel, you are underestimating that family!”

“They didn’t agree to reconcile?!” Laura couldn’t help but sharply cry out, her eyes anxiously fixed on her father.

Jade, with more experience, directly asked, “What are their conditions?”

“Purple wants to go to Grey Academy,” Dylan said disdainfully, as if he was talking about a joke.

Everyone in the living room was left speechless.

Nathaniel frowned, muttering under his breath, “Ridiculous.”

Jade was also taken aback for a moment before she finally managed a helpless laugh, “That’s really whimsical…”

Everyone thought Purple’s idea was pure fantasy.

Only Laura, who didn’t understand the whole story, begged, “Dad, please just send Purple to Grey Academy! As long as she promises not to pursue this…” “What do you know?!” Dylan suddenly shouted, “Do you know how much it costs to go to Grey Academy?!”

Laura shuddered from the yelling, her tear-choked sobs resuming.

Dylan’s anger seemed to boil over, “All you can do at this time is cry! Can’t you learn something from your sister? You struggle with your academic results, and all you do is cause trouble for me all day long! If Purple insists on not reconciling this time, I’d like to see what you’ll do!”

Jade gently intervened, “Try not to scare Laura too much, Dylan. She’s already reflecting on her mistakes. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of this matter..”
