As the incident was drawing to a close, Purple Summers led her pet back.

Her heart ached immensely.

Cleo was the one most afraid of the cold, yet today she was forced to come out, and moreover, had to venture onto the icy surface of the lake to save someone. If there had been any other way, she really wouldn’t have been willing.

Purple was very clear in her mind that Cleo had to come out.

She had to appear before the public and save Mrs. Farrell’s precious daughter! Otherwise, by tomorrow, everyone in Clearwater City would know that there was a young lady from the Summers Family, who kept a terrifying python!

Even if Cleo wasn’t responsible for today’s incident, it wouldn’t matter.

No one could predict how the rumors would eventually twist the truth, and to prevent future troubles, Purple had made this decision.

She had to let all the guests today know that not only does Cleo not harm people, but it can also save them! Otherwise, if someone wanted to target her next time, they would use the python she kept as a sensational topic again.

No matter what, a young lady who kept a python would be considered an oddity, something sinister.

This was also one of Jade Carlson’s goals, and Purple couldn’t let her succeed.

After returning to the small western-style building, Atra Blanc was also brought back.

She had just fainted downstairs upon hearing that her daughter’s python had swallowed Mrs. Farrell’s daughter, and was accompanied by an aunt from the Summers Family.

Now that she had woken up and learned that it had been a false alarm, she breathed a sigh of relief, but she still didn’t look well, the very thought of it filled her with dread.

“How could there be such an evil person!” Atra Blanc gripped Purple’s hand tightly, her complexion pale from the excess fright, “Such a young child, how could she bring herself to do such a thing? Besides, Mrs. Farrell has been so kind to her; this is ingratitude! So wicked!”

The pure-hearted Atra, even her scolding seemed to lack vocabulary.

Mrs. Jameson comforted her on the side, “Purple is smart, and that child is also fortunate. Both came through unscathed, so you should relax and rest well.”

Purple was not implicated, and the child came to no harm; it was as if both had been rescued at once.

Atra nodded, then thanked Mrs. Jameson, “I’m useless and not of any use. Today, I’m so grateful for your support for Purple. Thank you so much.”

Mrs. Jameson patted her hand gently, “To speak such words is too formal. Even if we don’t mention how Purple helped the Jameson Family in the past, even if I hadn’t known Purple, with what happened today, I would have still spoken up if I saw injustice.”

Purple flattened the pillows behind Atra, urging, “Mom, you should lie down and rest for now,”

After a few more words of persuasion, Atra lay down and closed her eyes.

Once Atra had fallen asleep, Purple and Mrs. Jameson left the room and went down to the living room. Zara Jameson and Jane McCain were there.

Mrs. Jameson sat on the sofa and laughed helplessly, “Can you tell me now what exactly happened?”

Zara said, “While we were dancing, Purple smelled the scent of realgar wine. How could there be realgar wine at a Summers family banquet? If a guest brought it, what was their purpose? Who doesn’t know that snakes are most afraid of realgar? At that time, Purple suspected that someone might be up to mischief.”

As she spoke, her face was tight, and a rage that could not be forgiven burned in her eyes.

Zara was a gentle yet strong girl who took issues of right and wrong very seriously. Like when her brother got into trouble, Mr. and Mrs. Jameson were willing to compromise and settle for the sake of their reputation, but only she insisted on getting to the bottom of it.

The actions of Jade Carlson filled Zara with immense disgust.

She continued, “We weren’t sure, we just locked the snake room as a precaution, and left Jane’s dog at the door to stand guard. If someone indeed tried to sneak in and cause trouble, it would stop them. But we didn’t expect her to bring a child here!”
