Chapter 439: Chapter 440 Yolanda Summers Assists_1

Mrs. Farrell stood helplessly on the lakeside boardwalk, gazing at her child from a distance.

The swaddling clothes lay still, and whether the child inside was dead or alive, she desperately wanted to rush over but could only hesitate desparately by the lake, unable to move forward.

She did not fear the freezing lake water, but she worried that she would not make it to the center of the lake in time and her actions would cause the cracks in the ice layer to widen, endangering the innocent child with the risk of falling into an ice hole!

In the cold of February, what great suffering it would be for a baby not yet a year old to fall into the icy waters!

“Who can save her… who can save her… who will come save us both, mother and child…” Mrs. Farrell mourned as she slowly crouched down, feeling that if her daughter died, she would have no desire to live either.

Among the guests, someone couldn’t hold back and cursed, “This is so wicked! Whoever took the child shouldn’t have walked towards the lake!”

The crowd sighed in sympathy.

At that moment, the always silent Purple Summers spoke up, “Because he wanted to escape as quickly as possible.”

“Escape?! Where could he escape to?!”

“Has the kidnapper gone mad?!”

Purple Summers, unemotional and composed, said, “He knew in advance that this path would soon be filled with many onlookers, so he frantically chose the lake’s surface as his escape route in panic. Unexpectedly, the ice layer was too thin, and he fell into the ice hole. Fortunately, the child in his arms did not fall with him; otherwise, the people behind this scheme would have indeed committed a grave sin.”

After Purple spoke, she lifted her clear and bright eyes, her gaze cold and piercing as it landed on Jade Carlson.

The situation took a rapid turn, and everyone held their breath.

Someone was indeed causing trouble!

The eyes of the crowd turned towards the assistant who had been by Camilla Farrell’s side, the woman who seemed gentle and kind, but was she really heartless as a snake?!

After crying and shouting, Camilla Farrell’s emotions had eerily settled down…

Her eyes were filled with chilling coldness as she looked at Jade, silent as if waiting calmly for Jade to make her defense.

Jade’s forehead began to be covered with a thick layer of cold sweat.

Once again…

Every time she was about to reap the fruits of her labor, Purple would come like a plague, blocking her path to triumph!

“What are you blabbering about…” Jade slowly turned around, her voice soft but carrying a chilling edge, “It was your snake that hurt people, and now you’re trying to frame me?”

She spread her palm open where a piece of snake scale remained.

There was a flicker of viciousness in Jade’s eyes, “This is the evidence, how do you explain it?”

Purple smiled lightly, “You’re really impressive, Jade Carlson, to have gotten a hold of this. Did you find it in the snake enclosure when our family was visiting the island? But did you know that the dryness of a snake scale can be used to estimate the time when the scale was shed.”

Jade’s expression stiffened.

She tried to maintain her composure, but her expression in that moment betrayed her inner guilt!

To those guests present, who wasn’t shrewd? Anyone with a bit of sense could smell the scent of conspiracy.

——With such a big villa, why did the snake have to enter the room with a baby in it?!

As people looked at Jade again, their glances were meaningful.

In the crowd, Yolanda Summers’s feelings fluctuated wildly.

She may hate Purple, but if the python really killed Mrs. Farrell’s daughter, would the Summers Family have a future? Would she still be able to marry well?

That was Mrs. Farrell! The wife of a governor’s secretary, surrounded by people who were either governors or congressmen, she was indispensable in the realms of money and power!

The Summers Family simply couldn’t afford to offend her!

At this moment, as Purple turned the accusation back on Jade, Yolanda almost wanted to cheer aloud!

“It was you who did it!” Yolanda suddenly burst forth, disregarding everything as she tried to snatch Jade’s bag. “I saw it! There’s something in your bag!”
