Perhaps studying for exams was too exhausting, leaving them devoid of energy?

Marcel Jefferson thought. For Purple Summers, high school was indeed tough, as the curriculum was already intensive, and final exams were just around the corner. Not only did she have to manage her school work, but she also had to occasionally pay attention to the progress of the investigation. How could a sixteen-year-old girl not be tired under so much pressure?

“Leave everything to me!” Marcel Jefferson assured her over the phone. “You just focus on preparing for your exams. At such a young age, don’t worry too much, or you won’t grow taller.”

He heard Purple Summers let out a soft laugh.

“Alright, thank you, Marcel,” Purple said.

The two ended their call.

Just thinking about how the case was now making progress, Marcel Jefferson was filled with determination. He immediately began preparing the necessary documents for the application.

Afterward, he made a phone call to Mr. Ross, the lead lawyer of their legal team.

In a legal team like this, a representative would typically be chosen to defend the client in court as the lead lawyer.

Since they are called the lead lawyer, they would naturally be the most skilled and prestigious lawyer within the team.

Marcel Jefferson excitedly shared his latest progress on the investigation with Mr. Ross, and also mentioned the delaying tactic that Purple Summers had suggested. Unexpectedly, Mr. Ross denied the idea.

“Many people are watching this case, and we’ve already lost the first instance. If we deliberately delay the second instance, it will only escalate public opinion, which is not conducive to the reputation of Graves Group,”

Mr. Ross gently but firmly refused Marcel’s suggestion. “Mr. Jefferson, you and I both want to share Young Master Graves’ burden, and our eagerness is the same. You don’t have to worry about the second instance, we already have a better strategy in place, which can definitely have the second young master released in court.”

“… A better strategy?” Marcel Jefferson was perplexed.

However, the other party did not elaborate. “You’ll find out on the day of the court hearing,” they said before hanging up.

Marcel Jefferson stared blankly at his phone, finally realizing that he and Purple Summers had been excluded from the legal team…

If there was truly a surefire way to win the case, it would undoubtedly be good news. Originally, when Marcel and Purple joined the legal team, their initial intention was not to flatter the Graves Family. Keeping a distance would be best.

But…

Should he let Purple Summers know?

Marcel Jefferson was torn once more.

He had just assured her that she wouldn’t have to worry about anything, only to face this setback, making him seem so incompetent.

After mulling over it, Marcel eventually sent a text to Purple Summers: The materials for the forensic appraisal application are ready, but Mr. Ross has a new strategy that is said to be able to secure the case. So, let’s wait and see how things go on the day of the court hearing!

With apprehension, he awaited a response.

Purple Summers sent a message.

Her reaction seemed particularly calm, as if she didn’t mind being overshadowed by Mr. Ross. She asked only one question: Does Young Master Graves know about this?

Marcel Jefferson replied: He should know.

The legal team couldn’t possibly make decisions on their own. Once they had a plan, they would definitely inform Young Master Graves immediately.

Purple Summers didn’t send any more messages.

Marcel Jefferson thought about it and understood. Young Master Graves was their employer, and naturally, their best course of action would align with his wishes. They could offer advice but not make decisions on his behalf.

However, Marcel was somewhat unsettled. In the end, Young Master Graves still didn’t trust Purple Summers enough!

On Friday, the mock exams finally ended.

But, the students couldn’t relax for long, as they’d soon have to face their final exams.

Faris Hanson kept his promise. A gathering was arranged at Walker Entertainment City once school was over.

Purple Summers didn’t really want to go.

She hadn’t expected Faris Hanson to choose Walker Entertainment City as the location for their class gathering. It was Alexander Summers’ territory.
