BXBX NOVEL Chapter 9 - 9 Betrayal 1
Once acknowledged that his wife had committed suicide, it meant Nathaniel Summers had chosen to quit investigating the truth.
——There was no conspiracy, no killer; she died simply because she chose to give up her life willingly.
Yes, he might be blinded by the life insurance money now, so how could he examine carefully, the actual cause of his wife’s death…
Resentment surged in Purple Summers’ heart!
She was betrayed! She was deceived! She was murdered!
But he was enjoying the flirtations of another woman!
The couple sat on the sofa, each leaning on the other, comforting and confessing to each other, as intimate and harmonious as an affectionate couple.
They looked more like husband and wife.
Purple silently watched them, her resentment and hatred gradually turning into insurmountable despair…
She could expose the conspiracy, she could bring the murderer to justice, but… she couldn’t change the fact her husband had betrayed her.
Purple slowly regulated her breathing.
She had always been someone who chased results. Now what, should she rush forward and question the opposite party like a shrew: why treat me this way? Do you truly love me?
How laughable.
And pointless.
Since she was reincarnated, she didn’t need to care about the affection between husband and wife, she wanted to uncover the truth, to make the murderer confess and be punished!
The lovers’ act in the living room was too repulsive for Purple; she didn’t want to see them anymore and decided to leave.
But she bumped into the two daughters of the eldest son of the Summers family——Yolanda Summers and Laura Summers.
By hierarchy, Purple would be their aunt, but the sisters looked down upon this antisocial and introverted foster girl in their home and often ridiculed her.
Laura called out to her, “Hey! Ugly! What are you doing here?”
Being called ugly was highly unpleasant, let alone when Purple was already in a dreadful mood.
She didn’t answer and walked straight to the backyard.
Laura was very angry that Purple was ignoring her, and yelled, “Stop right there! Ugly, are you deaf! Didn’t you hear me talking?”
Purple stopped walking and coldly asked her, “Are you calling me?”
It was when Laura saw Purple’s face that she was taken aback.
It was weird, usually, Purple dressed up in a ghostly fashion every day. How is it that she became prettier after leaving the hospital?
Laura was staring at Purple’s innocent and bright face, feeling irritated, and spitefully said, “Yes, I’m calling you, you’re always dressed in pitch black, scaring people, if that’s not ugly then what is it?!”
She was two years younger than Yolanda, even more favored by Dylan Summers, and more domineering in personality.
Purple emotionlessly replied, “Good manners, I will be sure to compliment you in front of your elder brother.”
Dylan Summers was the director of the Justice Bureau of Clearwater City, he valued his reputation. If he found out his two daughters were disparaging their foster sister at home, he would definitely give them a severe lesson!
“You dare to tell father?!”
Suddenly, Laura was enraged! She rushed at Purple to pull her hair, she was going to teach her a lesson!
But Purple reacted faster, she dodged to the side, grabbed Laura’s shoulder, and kneed forward, causing Laura to fall heavily face-first!
The porch outside the living room was paved with star-spangled marbles, clean and beautiful, but also very hard.
Laura had used all her strength when she charged at Purple, and now fell even harder, blood started pouring out!
Before she could even scream, she tasted the salty, fishy flavor in her mouth, she touched it and her hand was completely covered with fresh red blood!
“Ah!!!!”
The girl screamed in fright, looking at her bloody hand in bewilderment.
The screams attracted the servants of the Summers family, as well as Nathaniel Summers and Jade Carlson in the living room.
Nathaniel scanned the chaotic scene, and demanded, “What is going on!”
Laura wailed out mournfully, “Uncle! Did you see that?! It was Purple who pushed me!”
