Chapter 678: Chapter 678: I’m Not Teasing You_1
Purple Summers had no concept of class, for she herself had climbed up from the bottom, one step at a time.
That was also one of the reasons why she had been popular in the past: as a prosecutor from an ordinary family, she was always easier for the public to relate to, compared to those born into wealth.
Only, after being reborn, Purple Summers dealt with people almost exclusively from rich and powerful families.
If what Lindsay Carpenter said was true, and those carefully selected legal aid cases kept coming to her, it would be a severe blow to Purple Summers’ reputation!
From then on, she would become an outcast among the wealthy classes, subtly ostracized and marginalized.
She fell into silence, pondering what deep hatred the other party might hold against her to scheme in this way.
Seeing her expression, Lindsay Carpenter couldn’t contain her excitement and whispered a reminder, “Ms. Summers, my 45 thousand…”
Purple Summers came back to her senses, smiled, and asked, “Don’t worry, you won’t be shortchanged a cent, just tell me first, who is it? Is it a woman… with very long hair, very beautiful?”
“It is a woman, with indeed very long hair, but the facial features are not clear,” said Lindsay Carpenter. “When we met, it was in a bar with very dim lighting, and she wore sunglasses…”
Fearing that Purple Summers might renege on the payment, Lindsay Carpenter was very humble, saying, “She also contacted another sister of mine, but later probably thought my case was more eye-catching, so she chose me. Ms. Summers, I can call my sister and ask her, maybe she got a clear look at the person’s face.”
However, Purple Summers shook her head, looked down at her phone, and showed a photo from a webpage to Lindsay Carpenter.
“Take a look, is it her?”
Lindsay Carpenter furrowed her eyebrows and looked carefully, then after a moment, she nodded, “Hmm… looks very similar.”
Purple Summers put away her phone and transferred 45 thousand to Lindsay Carpenter’s account.
At that moment, the sound of the notification was undoubtedly the most beautiful melody in the world for Lindsay Carpenter, who hugged her phone excitedly, looking at the amount displayed, and thanked repeatedly, “Ms. Summers, you are a really good person! A great benefactor! Thank you so much!”
With the previous 15 thousand and the 75 thousand from Purple Summers, she had amassed a total of 90 thousand in just a few days!
Lindsay Carpenter was ecstatic!
Purple Summers smiled, stood up, glanced at the herbal medicine package on the table, “…Taking traditional medicine is not out of the question, but remember to go to a regular traditional medicine hospital; don’t delay treatment to save money.”
Now that Lindsay Carpenter had money, even if someone were to berate her, she would be overjoyed, let alone facing the kind reminder from Purple Summers.
She was thrilled and nodded continuously.
As Purple Summers approached the door, she suddenly remembered something and turned to Lindsay Carpenter, “There’s something I want to ask you, it might be a bit presumptuous…”
“Not at all!” Lindsay Carpenter said with a beaming smile, “Please ask whatever you want.”
Purple Summers tilted her head and gazed calmly into her eyes, asking, “Were you really raped by Leon Brown?”
Lindsay Carpenter was stunned, her smile slowly fading. After a long pause, she nodded, “Yes, I was raped by him.”
“Don’t you plan to sue him?” Purple Summers asked with a smile, “If you win, you could get a compensation of 150 to 300 thousand, isn’t that easier than earning it in tens and thirties of thousands?”
Lindsay Carpenter wore a complex expression, forcing a smile, “Ms. Summers, please don’t make fun of me. I know my own status; winning the case is simply impossible… I sought legal aid on an impulsive moment, too rashly…”
“I am not making fun of you,” Purple Summers said, “If they contact you, tell them I’ve taken your case.”
Lindsay Carpenter knew very well: she had to say this to maintain stability with the other party and to prevent them from continuing to trouble Purple Summers with such embarrassing cases.
“Ms. Summers, I understand the principle of taking money for work,” Lindsay Carpenter assured.
Purple Summers took out a business card and handed it to Lindsay Carpenter, “When you’ve made up your mind, you can contact this law firm and tell them I’ve taken the case.”
