BXBX NOVEL Chapter 344: Found Half
Purple Summers wore a faint smile on her face, choosing to remain silent.
The atmosphere turned cold for a while.
“…I do apologize if I’ve overstepped my bounds, Ms. Summers. Please don’t mind,” Bella Foster tried to save face whilst feeling annoyed, thinking to herself: I even deign to speak to you! Such ungratefulness when given respect!
She had already investigated thoroughly. Purple Summers was an adopted daughter of the Summers family, even less significant than that Yolanda Summers. Purple Summers couldn’t even be considered a true lady of standing!
Such a lowly status attempting to latch onto Young Master Graves, it’s ludicrous!
Although Bella Foster maintained a smile on her face, her eyes were extremely cold.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt it was impossible for Gavin Graves to be interested in Purple Summers. Even if Purple Summers had stand-out qualities, her status was unworthy, and she was too young. She didn’t fit with Gavin Grave’s aesthetic preferences at all.
At that moment, Lester Williams came downstairs again, “Ms. Summers, Young Master Graves invites you upstairs.”
The smile on Bella Foster’s face nearly faltered, she turned to look at Lester Williams, the corners of her mouth hardened: “Mr. Williams, I’ve been waiting for along time…”
“Ms. Foster, I’ll have to ask you to wait a bit longer,” Lester Williams said. “Young Master Graves would like to meet Ms. Summers first.”
But she was here first!
Even if order of arrival was disregarded, did that Purple Summers actually hold a higher place in Gavin Grave’s heart than her, Bella Foster?!
Bella Foster unconsciously clenched her hand, the recently manicured nails dug deeply into the palm of her hand…
She felt threatened.
Purple Summers followed Lester Williams upstairs.
Lester Williams led Purple Summers to the tearoom, as they entered, a man in a suit was leaving, showing considerable respect for Gavin Graves. He was presumably one of the directors of the Graves Group.
Purple Summers didn’t fully understand. Gavin Graves was evidently very busy, why would he personally need to deal with this matter?
It would plainly be resolved with just a message from him… could there have been unexpected developments that required a face-to-face explanation?
Thoughts whirled in Purple Summers’ mind, filled with both anticipation and unease.
Gavin Graves sat across from her, perhaps due to recently dealing with many documents, he was wearing glasses, a handsome man with an air of elegance.
Purple Summers was eager to ask him: “Young Master Graves, have you found that person?”
Gavin Graves was silent for a moment, instead of responding directly, he asked Purple Summers a question: “Ms. Summers, can you tell me how you found out about Suzanne Saunders’ body being taken away?”
Purple Summers was slightly stunned, “…I’m sorry, but I may not be able to explain that…”
She certainly can’t say she witnessed it as a ghost…
If she were to lie and claim she saw it from the boat or shore, Gavin Graves would undoubtedly inquire about more details, to which she would not be able to respond.
Gavin Graves didn’t get angry but instead smiled, saying, “I suppose Ms. Summers isn’t willing to tell me why you’re investigating Suzanne Saunders either.”
Purple Summers forced a smile.
“Please don’t mind my questions. I’m just trying to see if Ms. Summers could provide any clues,” Gavin Graves explained.
After hearing this, Purple Summers couldn’t help but show her disappointment, “…You haven’t found them, have you?”
If he had found them, why would he need clues from her?
However, Gavin Graves said, “We’ve found half.”
Purple Summers looked confused, “I don’t understand…”
“We’ve found Suzanne Saunders’ body,” Gavin Graves voice grew solemn, speaking slowly, “But, we haven’t found the person who took the body.”
Purple Summers was shocked…
Gavin Graves, with his composed gaze, looked at her, his voice low and resonant: “Ms. Summers, if someone were to take Suzanne Saunders’ body, and my people can’t find a single trace, this person is either on par with the Graves family or surpasses us. Either way, this person is not going to be easy to deal with.”
