Chapter 397: Demonstration
A young girl was being rudely and violently dragged out of the cafe by a man. “You killed my son and you still have the nerve to work here?! Where’s your conscience? Did a dog eat it?! You think you can live a carefree life after killing someone? I’ll show everyone your true face!”
Jessica Cameron cried out, “Please! Don’t do this! I really didn’t harm your son!”
“Now you’re still trying to shirk responsibility?! If it wasn’t for you instigating him, would he have gone to Peachwater Village? I worked so hard to support his education and teach him how to be a good person, hoping he’d have a promising future, and he even got into college with top grades! But what happened? Once he met you, he went astray! And now he’s lost his life!”
The man became more and more furious, almost roaring, and at last, unable to contain his rage, he slapped Jessica fiercely across the face!
Jessica fell to the ground, seeing stars, her face burning with pain!
Someone in the crowd couldn’t stand it anymore and spoke up, “Just talk it out, don’t hit her!”
The man roared at the direction of the voice, “She killed my son! How can I not hit her?! I want her to pay with her life!”
With that, the man made a move to choke Jessica’s neck.
The crowd boiled, and some people hurriedly intervened, causing the situation to spiral out of control.
Jessica was frightened and scared, her hit face was red and swollen, and the tears flowed, causing even more intense pain.
She cried, “I really didn’t harm him! He got poisoned from drinking the sorceress’s talismanic water, the police have already tested it! I didn’t harm him!”
The man stared with wide eyes, his eyes full of bloodshot, “What did you say?!” Jessica, tears streaming down her face, repeated, “I’m not lying to you, the police have already tested it, the talismanic water was poisonous! Both the lawyer and prosecutor came to see me, you can ask them if you don’t believe me! I didn’t harm your son!”
The man muttered dumbfounded, “…It was the sorceress who poisoned my son?”
In the winter morning, sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, warmly illuminating the room, and casting a small rainbow on the wall beneath the fractured light and shadow.
The room was filled with a gentle lavender scent, calming and sleep-inducing, the aroma of evaporating aromatic essential oil.
Purple Summers sank into the soft bed, slowly opening her eyes, and stretched out comfortably.
She had a good sleep last night.
Having finished the case, Purple Summers felt as if she could finally give an explanation to the sorceress.
She got up, washed up, and casually checked the morning news on her phone, only to be suddenly shocked, she couldn’t afford to waste any more time, so she quickly got dressed and left without even eating breakfast.
As she changed her shoes at the entrance, Atra Blanc sighed while serving breakfast, “Purple, why have you been so busy lately? You’re almost busier than your brother…”
Purple Summers smiled apologetically, “Just happened to have something to do, I’ll go out for a bit and be back soon.”
She grabbed her bag and hurried away.
This morning, Prominence Law Firm made headlines again.
But this time, the headline was a blatant negative news piece, with a bold-faced, eye-catching title: Annihilating Humanity! Defending a Murderous Money-seeker!
The photo showed a crowd of protesters below the Prominence Law Firm building.
Countless banners were held high.
“Marcel Jefferson! Get out of Clearwater!”
“Prominence Law Firm, the first disgrace of the legal world!”
“Murderer, pay with your life!”
this case was not as vicious as the previous serial torture and murder case, but the impact it caused was so sensational that it was clear this was a premeditated and organized protest.
Purple Summers was very worried about Marcel Jefferson. She took the case, but he always bore the consequences, and she genuinely felt sorry for him!
When Purple Summers arrived at the building where the law firm was located, some of the crowd had already been dispersed by the building’s security guards, but the eye-catching banners and black and red posters still stood, attracting passers-by to stop and watch.
Purple Summers’ face darkened, her feet kept moving, as she entered the building, took the elevator, and arrived at Prominence Law Firm.
