Purple Summers said, she had a favor to ask for.
Mrs. Jameson, hearing this, immediately straightened up in her seat.
“Ms. Summers, if you don’t mind, I will call you Purple,” Mrs. Jameson said gently. “I initially had doubts about your abilities and your motives, but generally, you’ve exceeded my expectations so far. It was my short-sightedness. You’ve done a great service to my family. If there is anything we can assist you with, please feel free to ask.”
Purple considered for a moment, then said to Mrs. Jameson: “When I was in middle school, I had to stay away from school on health grounds and a private tutor was arranged for me. I continued with my studies at home, and now, joining Grey, I wish to study in sophomore year directly instead of the freshman year. However, to do so, I require a guarantor for the jump-a-grade examination application…”
Purple looked up at Mrs. Jameson, “I would like to ask you to be my guarantor, Auntie.”
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Jameson heaved a sigh of relief, a smile of joy appeared on her face.
The sigh of relief was because she was worried that Purple might ask her to cheat on her behalf during the assessment.
The joy was because she had not misjudged Purple, who had proven to be an upright and forward-looking young girl.
“The application for the jump-a-grade examination must be submitted within the first week of school, and the examination will be arranged within a month. Are you confident about passing it?” Mrs. Jameson asked her.
Purple’s eyes were crystal clear, a soft smile hiding in their gloss, “I will complete the high school curriculum as soon as possible and take the judicial examination next year.”
If the judicial examination was her goal, then she must have been fully prepared for the jump-a-grade examination.
Mrs. Jameson remarked, pointing at Purple, to Zara: “Learn from her.”
Whenever Mrs. Jameson complimented someone else’s child, Zara would be upset, but not when she complimented Purple. Zara chuckled and said: “That’s perfect. Once Purple passes the examination, we may be classmates in school!”
When Mr. Jameson and Henry Jameson returned after seeing off the guests, they noticed the sounds of laughter coming from the house, which made them both smile.
The dark cloud that had been hanging over the Jameson Family’s household had completely disappeared.
As the head of the family, Mr. Jameson expressed his gratitude to Purple again and looked at Henry Jameson, “Henry, you should escort Ms. Summers home. Meeting Ms. Summers was truly your good fortune this time around.”
Henry nodded in agreement.
Purple said goodbye to everyone and walked across the courtyard, followed by Henry. The outside was clear and starlit, with the intoxicating fragrance of tuberose in the air. It was a pleasant and clear summer night.
“I really can’t thank you enough for this,” Henry sincerely expressed, “I was busy preparing for the feast today and didn’t have time to prepare a gift. The gift sent to the Summers family was my parents’ sentiment, which is not sufficient to show my gratitude. If you have any requests in the future, please feel free to ask. I will do my best to fulfill them.”
Purple stopped under a magnolia tree, turned around, paused for a moment, and said: “Indeed, I do have a favor to ask… I need to ask Mr. Jameson.”
Henry said, “Please go ahead, Ms. Summers.”
“Could you… resign from Grey?” Purple raised her head, her clear eyes focused on Henry, “Leave Grey and stop being a teacher.”
Henry was stunned.
“Chloe Bennett saw it, didn’t she?” Purple turned her face away and looked at the blooming tuberose in the courtyard under the moonlight, creating a silhouette of graceful elegance.
Henry remained silent and didn’t respond.
Purple’s voice was melancholic, as if she was muttering to herself, “Chloe Bennett was crying all the time when she confessed. She said ‘Why can she do it, but I can’t?’ If I’m not mistaken, Chloe Bennett must have seen your girlfriend. She knew that you would stay with your girlfriend in the apartment for that week, so she secretly watched nearby, waiting for you to come out and throw away the trash.”
She sighed, “Mr. Jameson, you shouldn’t have lied to me..”
