…Was she being paranoid?

Just because Alexander Summers treated her differently from others?

Purple Summers still doubted Alexander, but at the same time, she felt that she shouldn’t miss other suspicious people just because she doubted him.

She pondered quietly, her mood heavy.

Zack Wallace anxiously went to find Alexander Summers.

The meeting was not yet over. Zack carefully walked in and came to Alexander’ s side in a few steps, whispering, “Master Xander, Ms. Summers is here…”

Zack concisely explained Purple’s unusual behavior to Alexander.

Alexander’s face darkened slightly, and then he stood up, calmly saying, “Everyone continue. I have a matter to attend to for a moment.”

He went back to the office with Zack, but Purple was not there.

“Where is she?” Zack asked anxiously, questioning the bodyguard at the door.

The bodyguard said Ms. Summers had just left.

Zack looked at Alexander, “Sir, should we chase after her?”

Alexander frowned, didn’t say anything, took a cigarette out of the cigarette case, and lit it up. With the smoke around him, his eyebrows were shadowed with gloom.

Zack carefully observed Alexander’s expression, feeling uneasy.

Alexander said indifferently, “She won’t give up until she finds the truth. That’s just her character.”

He took a puff of the cigarette, blew out the lingering smoke, and added, “You arrange it for her to find a result, so she doesn’t have to worry about this matter all the time.”

“Sir, do you mean to…” Zack hesitated.

“Let’s choose Old Ninth.” Alexander’s face was obscured behind the light smoke, “He was just assassinated last month, and he happened to be in Clearwater in August. He’s the best choice.”

Upon hearing this, Zack showed a doubtful expression on his face.

Alexander put the cigarette in the purple bronze ashtray, raising his eyebrows and looking at him, “What’s the matter? Is there a problem?”

Zack’s gaze was a bit evasive, and he lowered his head and said, “No problem. I just suddenly remembered a saying…”

“What saying?” Alexander asked.

Zack carefully replied, “I heard from others that there must not be deception between men and women. If you deceive, you must do it for life. Otherwise…”

He stopped suddenly, fearing that he would annoy Alexander and raised a sycophantic smile. “…Sir, I’m afraid Ms. Summers will be angry with you if she finds out.”

Who would want to live in a lie? Just like in a Truman Show, even though the people around you meant well, sometimes deception itself was enough to cause hatred.

Alexander was silent for a long time, his eyes deep and quiet.

“Then let her never find out.” He said.

At dinner, Purple told Atra Blanc that she needed to go out for a few days because of the club activities at school.

The final exams were over, and Atra was willing to let her daughter go out to relax, but she was a little worried when she learned the activities were out of town.

“Why not let your brother go with you?” Atra tentatively asked.

“Mom, all the other students are going by themselves. It would be so embarrassing if I brought my family.” Purple glanced at Alexander next to her, then added, “And my brother has work. He’s really busy.”

She wasn’t worried about Atra, but she was afraid Alexander would interfere and not let her go.

Unexpectedly, Alexander didn’t object, saying, “Call home to report your safety after arriving there, and when you are about to come back, let me know in advance. I’ll come to pickyou up.”

He even gently rubbed her head, making Purple shiver, feeling that Alexander’s sudden display of humanity was awkward.

The following day, Purple packed a few change of clothes and daily necessities, carrying her backpack, and went to Clearwater City’s train station.

Aria Jackson was waiting for her at the station and waved to her from a distance.

Although she had already heard the news over the phone, Aria still showed a slight shock on her face when she saw Purple. She asked, “Is the news true? How could the body be there?”
