BXBX NOVEL Chapter 278: Have You Missed Me?
When the car reached the bustling city area, Purple Summers asked Yolanda Summers to get off.
“Why?!” The anger Yolanda had been suppressing all the way burst out instantly. She couldn’t see Young Master Graves and now she was even being kicked out of the car by Purple Summers!
Purple Summers casually commented, “Don’t you want to go home? Mr. Jefferson and I have something to do elsewhere, do you also want to tag along?”
Yolanda gritted her teeth: “What’s so important that you can’t go tomorrow?!”
“Can’t.” Purple Summers shook her head without thinking, “Tomorrow is Monday, I have to go to class.”
Yolanda had no choice but to step out of the car angrily. She stood in the biting cold wind on the main road, inelegantly waving down a taxi in her high heels. Purple Summers watched her unwillingness, a wicked smile spreading across her face.
After laughing, she felt a little guilty. She knew what Yolanda was thinking but still led her on for nothing… Could she have been contaminated by that pervert Alexander Summers?
Marcel Jefferson asked, “Are we going to the crime scene?”
“Yeah.” Purple Summers nodded on returning to her thoughts, “If we don’t go today, we’ll have to wait another week. It’s almost finals time, I don’t want to take a leave.”
Marcel Jefferson’s mouth twitched, “It’s usual to take a few days off for Young Master Graves’s case… He even gave us so many gold bars…”
Even if she took a leave of absence to investigate the case, it wouldn’t be too much! Alas, the young lady really doesn’t take it seriously…
Purple Summers ignored Marcel Jefferson because her phone had rung.
The caller ID showed: Brother.
The Howard Family and the Graves Family, both being among the four major families, Alexander Summers should indeed know about the Graves family’s residence in Clearwater City.
If he found out that she went to the Graves family’s place, it wouldn’t be surprising if he called to inquire.
Purple Summers anticipated this and subconsciously reached for the pendant around her neck as she answered the call.
As expected, Alexander Summers asked right away, “What are you doing at the Graves Family’s place?”
Purple Summers glanced at Marcel Jefferson next to her and replied, “Young Master Graves asked Mr. Jefferson to help with the investigation, I went with him.”
Alexander Summers seemed to grind his teeth, ” A group of men…”
“And Yolanda!” Purple added quickly. “Yolanda was there too! It wasn’t all men.”
She had agreed to have Yolanda accompany her at the time, specifically to prevent issues with Alexander Summers!
When Alexander heard this, he paused for a moment, and his jealousy seemed to subside, “Stop hanging around the Graves family for nothing, all of Old Man Graves’ sons are worthless. They can’t move when they see a woman, only Gavin Graves can be considered capable.”
Purple was surprised that the prickly Alexander Summers would actually compliment someone. It looks like Gavin Graves must be really remarkable.
“… Young Master Graves asked us to help with the case and offered us a whole box of gold,” Purple shared today’s events with Alexander Summers, “But Mr. Jefferson and I declined it. It’s strange. If he wanted to give us money, he could have just wired it to our bank account. Why use gold bars?”
“Ignorant.” Alexander scolded her, but his tone was rather affectionate and comfortable, “It’s an unwritten rule among the four families. If you want to buy someone’s favor, you can use money, but if you want to build connections and maintain a long term relationship, you need to use gold. You probably didn’t pick up to see it, did you? The gold has a special mark of the Graves family on the bottom. Whoever has this gold is a prestigious guest of the Graves family.” Purple suddenly realized, “Does the Howard family also have such gold?”
“Do you want some?” Alexander teased her, “Should I have Zack Wallace bring a truckload of gold for you to play with?”
“You’re really annoying!” Purple raised an eyebrow and snorted, “I was just asking out of curiosity, who said they wanted to play with gold?!”
Alexander laughed heartily on the phone.
After laughing for a while, he asked her, “Do you miss me?”
Purple Summers: “…”
