Chapter 10 - 10 Betrayal 2
She was afraid Nathaniel Summers might come out too late to see the commotion, so she turned to her sister Yolanda Summers, “Sis! Hurry up and tell uncle! It was Purple Summers who hurt me!”
Yolanda was repulsed by Laura’s clingy, sweaty palm, and was feeling a mix of anger and annoyance!
She was angry at Laura’s clumsiness and irritated at Purple for daring to fight back!
She scolded Purple, “Have you lost your mind? Look at the trouble you’ve caused!”
Purple looked at the people around her indifferently, her calmness resembling cold-bloodedness, “She wanted to pull my hair, I was just getting out of the way, who knew she would fall.”
“What nonsense are you talking?!”
Yolanda was livid, Purple was lying! Did she think Yolanda was blind?!
Jade Carlson pulled out a tissue from her bag and pressed it against Laura’s mouth, anxiously saying, “Let’s stop arguing for now, we need to hurry to the hospital. Laura is bleeding a lot! I hope she hasn’t injured her tooth!”
Laura’s face instantly turned pale.
A split lip was a minor issue, but if she damaged her tooth, wasn’t she doomed to have a missing front tooth in the future?!
She was only seventeen years old, was she supposed to live like an old hag with a fake tooth?!
Laura was filled with hatred! The look she gave Purple was fiery!
Nathaniel was getting a headache from this chaos. He didn’t like the bullish and domineering Yolanda and Laura, and he didn’t especially like the loner and vindictive Purple either.
The funeral of his wife had just ended, and they were causing such a racket at home, so thoughtless!
“I will drive you to the hospital.” Nathaniel said impatiently.
“You can’t drive after drinking, you should rest at home. Let’s have Robby drive us,” Jade said.
Her tone was very familiar.
Purple clenched her fists in silence, noting that Jade was very familiar with the Summers Family, and seemed to know the name of their driver.
Nathaniel was feeling a headache, but insisted, “Let Robby drive, I’ll accompany you guys.” His oldest brother wasn’t around, and he couldn’t ignore his niece’s injury.
The group hurried out, with Laura sobbing incessantly, her mouth covered.
Somehow, Nathaniel looked back.
In the distance, Purple stood her ground. Her face was expressionless, showing neither sadness nor happiness, but there seemed to be a cold hatred in her gaze.
Nathaniel was startled.
… Was it just his imagination? Why did it feel like she was looking at him?
In just a blink of an eye, Purple turned and left, briskly as if none of this was her business.
Even though Laura often bullied Purple, they were still family. To Nathaniel, Purple’s reaction was too indifferent.
An adopted child like her, after all, lacked a bit in upbringing.
Nathaniel thought so.
…
Purple nonchalantly returned to the small garden house.
Halfway there, she met Atra Blanc who had come looking for her.
Atra glanced at the direction Purple came from and asked, “What happened there? I thought I heard Laura crying?”
Purple, whose emotions had already settled, casually replied, “Oh, she tripped and fell. She is at the hospital now.”
Atra took her at her word and lead her daughter away, all the while talking, “As long as they didn’t trouble you, it’s fine. Both Summers sisters are arrogant and have bad tempers. Maybe we should move out. Don’t worry, Mum saved up some money over these years…”
Move out?
How could that work? There was no other place more suitable for investigating the truth.
Moreover, she wanted to take a proper look at her once deeply-loved husband, to see his true colors…
Purple shook her head, “Let’s just stay here, it’s quite good.”
Hearing that, Atra sighed. How could she want to move?
——Every flower and tree here held her precious memories. If she really had to leave, who knows how much she would miss …
