Fortunate to Have You This Lifetime - Chapter 1025

Chapter 1025: Chapter 1025: A Surprise_1 Chapter 1025: Chapter 1025: A Surprise_1 Purple Summers poured her heart out in a long speech, but it was uncertain how much Norton Young took in.

He always wore a bemused expression as if understanding but not quite, yet his gratitude when thanking her was full and sincere–he deeply appreciated Purple Summers.

Purple Summers finally understood why it took Norton five tries to get in.

His concepts were problematic from the outset, almost as if he thought the duty of the prosecutor was to catch bad guys, while the lawyer’s duty was to help good people.

In fact, the work of the prosecutor and the lawyer is similar in some respects: they both work for the court, for the maintenance of the country’s judicial system. Through each individual case, they strive to perfect the judicial process and avoid wrongful convictions; it’s not as simple as just facing good people and bad people.

Of course, defending the bad guys always involves immense psychological stress, and one’s sense of justice can be tormented.

This was one of the reasons Purple Summers leaned towards becoming a prosecutor; she didn’t believe she possessed the psychological fortitude to qualify as a criminal defense lawyer. At the same time, she admired those criminal defense lawyers; they upheld a vital link in the judicial structure.

Purple Summers talked a lot with Norton about his unsatisfactory assignment, and he repeatedly expressed his thanks, cheerfully returning to redo his homework.

His chubby figure made his back look roundish, and his walk, a bit pigeon-toed, seemed inadvertently comical.

Watching him walk away, Purple Summers smiled, and then she went home as well.

Upon arriving home, she got a call from Aria Jackson.

“What’s with all that mess on the internet?” Aria asked her, “Aren’t you going to do something about it?”

It was clear Aria also saw those comments smearing Purple Summers.

Purple Summers was eating yoghurt cheese with blueberries, sweet and sour.

“If it weren’t for someone purposefully instigating, I wouldn’t have suddenly become this infamous. Let’s wait and see for a while,” she said while eating.

Aria asked, “You suspect someone is stirring the pot?”

“I don’t know,” Purple Summers replied nonchalantly. “If nobody is stirring the pot, the fervor should die down in a few days; if someone is…”

“What will happen?”

Purple Summers pursed her lips, her tongue sweeping over the remnants of yogurt at the corner of her mouth, and said lightly, “Probably, they’re preparing a surprise for me.”

Hearing Purple Summers’s indifferent tone, as if she had made arrangements, Aria no longer worried.

Later on, Purple Summers indeed received a surprise.

The next day, a short video exploded on the internet.

The video’s protagonist was Purple Summers, with only one line: “You have to do everything you can to protect his interests, at all costs, even if he is a murderer!”

This out-of-context short video went viral, with the headline: How the President’s Daughter Manipulates Justice at Will.

The views skyrocketed continuously.

The filming angle was from behind Norton, half concealed by his plump form, revealing the other half of Purple Summers’s solemn face.

Because of her serious expression coupled with her forceful tone, she appeared to be haughtily lecturing her classmates, and the content of the lecture was shocking–to exonerate a murderer at all costs.

This was terrifying!

The general public didn’t understand the trial’s triangular structure, the importance of balance between prosecution and defense, nor the value of procedural justice.

From this video, they only understood one thing–that Purple Summers was colluding with the enemy!

For a time, the entire internet was denouncing Purple Summers!

The day after, Purple Summers went to school for class, as if nothing had happened.

On seeing her, Norton immediately began frantically explaining: “I–I’m so sorry! I didn’t know it would turn out like this! What can we do, it must have been one of our classmates… I need to clarify this! I’ll make a statement! They can’t slander you!”
