Jade Carlson couldn’t help but smile smugly, without offering any explanation. In her heart, she actually believed it was true.

The Jameson family must have realized they were wrong and regretted their previous decision. Therefore, they wanted to ask her for help once again. Hosting a banquet was to show sincerity and gain her forgiveness.

The more Jade thought about it, the more certain she became.

She had already begun to imagine being invited to the Jameson house, Mr. and Mrs. Jameson sincerely apologizing to her, admitting they were blind, and had wrongly believed others. In front of everyone’s eager eyes, she would be treated with great hospitality by the Jameson family, basking in the glory of it all.

Jade almost burst out laughing.

– 1 should change into a more appropriate outfit, so that when the Jameson’s messenger comes to invite me, I won’t appear too shabby.

That was what Jade thought.

Her current dress was rather low-key. After all, she’d come as a friend of the Summers Family to help with the banquet. If she dressed too ostentatiously, she was afraid it would give rise to gossip.

But the situation was different now; she felt it was time for all of these relatives and friends of the Summers Family to see her true splendor!

Jade hurried upstairs to Nathaniel Summers’ room.

She didn’t have any formal wear herself, but Suzanne Saunders did.

In the beautiful white oak wardrobe, half belonged to Nathaniel, the other half to Suzanne. The various dresses hanging on the racks were dazzling, with many of them never even worn, tags still attached.

Jade’s heart raced.

All of these expensive and beautiful clothes would eventually be hers!

She carefully picked out a dress, drew the curtains, and prepared to change. As she did so, she caught a glimpse of the little western-style house hidden in the shadows of trees in the distance.

A lowly foster-daughter, who dared to try and ingratiate herself with the Jameson family—what a joke. People should know their place.

Jade stood by the window, laughing coldly.

Right then, Nathaniel entered the room.

He saw the dress in Jade’s hands and thought it looked familiar, but didn’t think much of it, asking only, “I heard that the Jamesons are holding a banquet today to invite you?”

Jade smiled, her lips pressed together, implying confirmation.

Nathaniel assumed the rumor he’d heard was true.

He had been very concerned about Henry’s case and immediately asked Jade, “Henry has always been law-abiding and would never do such a thing. Jade, you have to find a way to help him.”

Jade didn’t take it seriously. Regardless of how law-abiding one was, had Nathaniel not been just as obedient in the past, like a disciplined monk? And in the end…

Nathaniel asked again, “When are you going?”

The matter hadn’t been settled yet, but Jade didn’t want to be underestimated by Nathaniel. She believed her guess wasn’t wrong and replied, “The Jamesons are hosting a dinner party.”

She would go in the evening.

Nathaniel was reassured, saying, “There are only a few days left until the court session, we must find a way to get the other party to withdraw the lawsuit or else this stain will never be washed away.”

“Nathaniel, don’t worry. As long as we can convince Henry and the female student to get engaged, this case will only be considered an ordinary relationship dispute. There’s no need to worry,” Jade spoke casually.

Nathaniel frowned, feeling it was unfair to ask Henry to accept such a girl. But on second thought, he considered that they could break up later if necessary and pay some money to settle the situation.

“Nathaniel, you haven’t given me a gift for my promotion to prosecutor,” Jade looked at him with a bright smile, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Nathaniel was slightly stunned, recalling it was indeed true. At the time, he had promised to celebrate with her, but then Suzanne had an accident, and he’d lost the mood for celebrations…

If Jade could really help Henry this time, he should indeed show his gratitude.

With his expression softening, Nathaniel asked her, “What do you want?”
