Chapter 456: Chapter 457 Just an Accident_1
Mentioning Suzanne Saunders, Jade Carlson showed contempt on her face, “Married for a whole year, Nathaniel Summers never touched Suzanne Saunders, and she never even asked once! It shows she never loved Nathaniel Summers, nor cared about what happened to him! She does not deserve to be a wife!”
After Jade Carlson finished speaking, she saw an unusual expression on Purple Summers’s face and her heart skipped a beat, wondering if she had said too much.
She immediately steered the conversation back, defending, “…That drug, it really was just a stimulant, it wouldn’t have any effect on one’s body! You can buy it in any normal adult store!”
“Then why did you trick Suzanne Saunders to go to the bow?” Purple Summers asked.
Jade Carlson couldn’t help but shiver, she even felt terror!
How did Purple Summers know about her tricking Suzanne Saunders to go to the bow? Nathaniel Summers didn’t even know, and there were only the two of them… Could it be that there were bugs on that boat?
What else does Purple Summers know?!
Jade Carlson’s insides turned cold with fear, not daring to hide the truth, she explained, “I… I was just so upset. I helped Nathaniel Summers with his treatment, and just when he was nearly healed, he turned to Suzanne Saunders and even asked me to help him prepare the medication! So I tricked Suzanne Saunders to the bow, wanting to keep her away from Nathaniel Summers!”
Jade Carlson repeatedly stressed, “The death of Suzanne Saunders was truly an accident! I tricked her to the bow, really just to avoid her meeting with Nathaniel Summers! I didn’t harm her, I couldn’t possibly have harmed her!”
A massive wave of shock in Purple Summers’s heart slowly, gradually settled down… like the dead silence of an ancient well, eerily quiet.
The first half of her life, it really was like a joke…
“You helped Nathaniel Summers with his treatment, what exactly did you do?” Purple Summers asked indifferently.
The question was awkward, and Jade Carlson did not want to answer, but since she was now relying on Purple Summers, she had to suppress the resentment and irritation in her heart, and put on a cooperative facade.
“Applying the medicine, cleaning… Sometimes, I would play the role of his wife, we… would have some intimate contact…”
Purple Summers’s lips curled into a cold smile, “Jade Carlson, you are really noble, going so far to help someone else’s husband.”
Hitting a sore spot, Jade Carlson felt both humiliated and angered, but she dared not provoke Purple Summers and had to forcefully suppress the turmoil within her, saying, “Are you satisfied now? I have told you everything I know! You must get me out!”
Purple Summers said, “Rest assured, I am a person of my word.”
She stood up dispassionately and Jade Carlson, unable to be at ease, pursued the question, “What do you plan on telling Mrs. Farrell? Are you confident you can persuade her?”
“You don’t need to worry about that,” Purple Summers said, no longer looking at her, her voice cold, “one way or another, I’ll convince her.”
Purple Summers left the detention center.
Aria Jackson was waiting outside for her.
“What did she say?” Aria Jackson asked.
Purple Summers let out a light sigh, leaning against the wall, “She still insists my death was an accident.”
Purple Summers summarized for Aria Jackson what Jade Carlson had said in a succinct manner.
“…In short, it was just an ordinary aphrodisiac, no conspiracy, no tricks. It was my bad luck, accidentally falling into the river,” Purple Summers said with a self-deprecating smile, “My death really wasn’t worth much.”
“But you said you felt a push, what’s with that?” Aria Jackson frowned, feeling the whole story didn’t make sense, “Could it really be your hallucination? Could that drug cause such real hallucinations?”
“The drug was prepared by Nathaniel Summers, to know its effects and side effects, we’ll have to ask him,” Purple Summers replied.
Aria Jackson nodded, saying, “I’ll check his transaction records first. But since half a year has passed, it might take some effort.”
“No rush.” Purple Summers’s mouth twitched into a faint smile, “At this point, some things… don’t matter anymore.”
At the end of it all, her death was simply an accident.
