Purple Summers was initially taken aback before finding her voice, angrily saying, “How can you just look through my things?! Do you have any sense of privacy?!”

“Privacy?” Alexander Summers chuckled, “I’ve touched and kissed every inch of you, and you’re talking about privacy with me?”

Enraged, Purple exclaimed, “Shameless!”

Alexander laughed and sighed, “Alright, since you’re awake, let’s go downstairs to eat. I just wanted to see your recent homework, but I didn’t know you were investigating Suzanne Saunders’ case.”

With his explanation, some of the anger in Purple’s heart was extinguished, but her face remained puffed up with annoyance.

Alexander put his arm around her as they went downstairs to eat. As they walked down the stairs together and Purple saw the food on the table, she thought of his hard work throughout the day, and her last bit of anger vanished without a trace.

He must have just cared about my homework. Purple thought.

However, recalling Alexander’s questioning earlier, she began to feel nervous in hindsight.

As an adopted daughter of the Summers family, investigating Suzanne’s case seemed very unusual, no matter how she explained it.

And it seemed that Alexander wasn’t going to ask any more questions.

That didn’t put Purple at ease. Instead, this matter felt like a ticking time bomb, making her even more nervous.

“…Don’t you find it strange?” While having dinner, Purple casually chatted with Alexander, “How could a living person just fall off a boat for no reason? After all, Suzanne had many enemies. The police said it was an accident, and not a single person is suspicious.”

Her eyes showed her puzzlement, as if investigating the case was just childish curiosity.

Alexander calmly replied, “The word ‘accident’ implies something sudden and unexpected, without any apparent reason.”

“So you think it’s an accident too.” Purple, cradling her small bowl of soup and keeping her eyes on Alexander, said, “But I think… Suzanne might have been murdered.”

It’s said that the one involved is often confused, so she wanted to know an outsider’s view of the case.

At her words, Alexander looked up at Purple, the corner of his mouth slightly raised, his face showing a faint smile, “Oh? Then who does Purple think killed Suzanne Saunders?”

“I don’t know.” Purple blinked, putting on an innocent look, “There are so many suspicious people. It could be my third brother, who might be after the insurance money, or Jade Carlson, who might kill out of love? It could also be… my eldest brother, or someone else.”

Alexander couldn’t help but laugh and ruffled her hair, saying, “Focus on your studies.”

He regarded her words as childish prattle.

Purple felt somewhat disappointed…

However, after her disappointment, she felt at ease again, as Alexander didn’t seem to suspect her.

They stayed on the mountain for three days and two nights. When it was time to leave, Zack Wallace came to pick them up personally.

Alexander handed a door key to Purple and said, “When I’m not here, you can come by yourself. It’s quiet here, good for reading and relaxing.”

Purple felt that she should have refused.

But somehow, she accepted the key.

They left the mountain with a full haul.

They brought back various wild fruits from the mountain, as well as pre-prepared gifts. Since Alexander had claimed it was a trip with his sister, they needed to bring back some local specialties to make it convincing.

All the items were unusual ingredients and seasonings, obviously selected according to Atra Blanc’s preferences.

Atra was overjoyed.

Purple’s mood was pretty good, too.

When Alexander wasn’t being a rogue, he was a gentle and attentive man, giving her all kinds of gifts, arranging her food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, learning to cook for her, and even carrying her when she was tired…

However… he definitely couldn’t be considered a good person.

He was overbearing and unreasonable, infuriating her to the point of stamping her feet, and he could never manage to be normal for more than three minutes!

As Purple thought about it, her mind became entirely occupied with thoughts of Alexander..
