Chapter 270: Chapter 270: Cleo’s Tail

Although it cannot be confirmed that Jade Carlson is the murderer, her role in this case is far from innocent.

It was Jade who tricked her to the front of the boat.

It was Jade that drugged her drink.

It was Jade who deceived Nathaniel, claiming it was suicide.

If Jade cannot be taken down this time, Purple would feel disappointed.

In the following days, she started to pay attention to current affairs news every day.

As Aria Jackson had predicted, online public opinions changed direction, no longer constantly condemning Jade, but accusing the attorney general of evading responsibility and lacking initiative and accountability.

On Wednesday, under the pressure of public opinion, the Prosecutor’s Office held a news conference.

Jade tearfully apologized and bowed to Caspian Maple and his mother Iris Maple in front of the camera. Her weeping bow was captured in close-up photos and made headlines that day.

Behind her, the attorney general’s face was cold.

At the press conference, the attorney general was criticized, and prosecutor Jade Carlson was demoted, citing insufficient work experience and reverted to being an intern.

In this way, public anger was appeased to some extent.

After watching the news, Purple felt it was a pity…

Jade messed up so badly, but the punishment was merely demotion. Next year, she would be eligible for promotion to prosecutor again, and such punishment meant nothing to Purple.

But on second thought, Jade did not come out without any losses.

First of all, Jade could no longer dream of being a wealthy heiress, as George Carlson would not recognize her. Geett the l𝒂test 𝒏𝒐vels on no/v/elbin(.)c/om

Moreover, she was desperate to escape and dragged the attorney general down with her, making her promotion nomination next year uncertain.

Additionally, even though Jade gained sympathy from some people after this incident, her abilities were also questioned, leaving her permanently incapable of achieving prestige and glory.

Purple smiled and felt better, thinking that she now understood.

She shouldn’t be in a hurry to deal with Jade, as haste would make it hard to see Jade’s final cards.

This time, Jade suffered a heavy loss and must be eager to make up for it. What would she do?

Purple looked forward to seeing her moves.

Two days later on Friday, it was exam time again.

Purple was on her period and felt uncomfortable all over. After enduring the pain and finishing the exam paper, she asked the teacher for leave and returned home early.

Her mood was irritable, making the heating at home feel stuffy, and though she wanted fresh air outside, she was too lethargic to move.

Fortunately, Cleo had finished shedding its skin, and its newly-grown snake skin was beautiful, smooth, and cool as water. The long snake body rested on the sofa, providing a soft and cool spot for Purple to lean on, making her feel incredibly comfortable.

She was no longer afraid of Cleo at all.

However, Tiny’s bad habit never changed. Since Cleo no longer stayed in its terrarium, Tiny would take advantage of any opportunity to bite Cleo’s tail tip!

Sometimes it went even further, grabbing Cleo’s tail with its beak and swinging it back and forth as if playing with it, while Cleo, being slow-moving, was powerless to resist.

This snake skin was newly changed! The raven’s beak was hard and sharp, leaving distinct marks after only a few bites, which distressed Purple!

In the end, Atra Blanc came up with a solution.

Atra knitted a tail cover for Cleo using yarn, and even sewed a fluffy ball at the tip. The cover, put on Cleo’s tail, looked adorable.

Purple deviously sprayed some mustard water on the yarn cover. After biting it once, Little Trickster finally stopped biting Cleo’s tail…

But, the stray cats in the backyard began to experience nightmares again…

Purple was troubled by Tiny’s misdeeds and temporarily put aside her period- related distress.

On Sunday, two special guests visited the house.

The Graves family’s steward, Lester Williams, personally came to visit, accompanied by the recently famous Marcel Jefferson.

Upon hearing the news from the servant, Dylan Summers could hardly believe his ears!

That was Lester Williams!

Lester Williams managed the Graves family’s properties and was also a renowned figure.

“What are you standing there for?! Hurry up and invite them in!” Dylan exclaimed excitedly, then suddenly stood up, “Wait! …I’ll invite them in myself!”
