Fortunate to Have You This Lifetime - Chapter 1026

Chapter 1026: Chapter 1026: Anger_1 Chapter 1026: Chapter 1026: Anger_1 Purple Summers looked at Norton Young.

Through those thick, bottom-of-the-bottle glasses, she saw confusion and anxiety in his eyes, and a layer of fine sweat had formed on his forehead.

When she saw the video yesterday, her first reaction was indeed to suspect Norton Young.

But after giving it some thought, she felt that Norton Young had no reason to do such a thing.

For one, she and Norton Young had no grudges between them.

Secondly, as a person, Norton Young was cautious and meticulous. He knew he was not very clever, so he believed in the principle of “the early bird catches the worm,” unlike someone who would play conspiracies.

Even if he were to play at conspiracies, it wouldn’t be in this manner, after all, manipulating public opinion was a bit too high-tech for Norton Young.

Moreover, what good would offending her do Norton Young?

When Norton Young first approached her, showing his goodwill, it was out of a certain amount of admiration and desire for friendship. It made no sense for him to pull such a stunt after their relationship had gradually warmed.

“It’s okay, Norton,” Purple Summers smiled slightly, “I don’t care about what they say online, let them talk.”

Norton’s face turned a shade paler as he said anxiously, “You don’t care, even with things being like this?”

“There’s no use in panicking now, with so many mouths talking. Do you expect me to respond to each and every one of them?” Purple Summers maintained her calm demeanor.

Out of compulsion, Norton said, “At least you should clarify things, right? You can’t let them defame you like that. Before that part of the video, there was clearly a phrase, ‘legal and compliant.’ The video was intentionally edited to mislead people…”

“Maybe that’s exactly what they’re waiting for me to do,” Purple Summers chuckled, unflustered.

Norton was taken aback, then he seemed to realize something, looking nervously around before asking Purple in a lowered voice, “You mean, someone has orchestrated all this from behind the scenes?”

Purple’s gaze drifted toward the classroom door. She didn’t answer but simply said with a light smile, “Class is starting.”

Victoria Morrison walked into the classroom, and Norton immediately shrunk his neck and obediently sat back to listen to the lecture.

Purple watched Victoria Morrison without a change in expression.

Could it be her?

It didn’t seem likely…

Purple scribbled idly on a piece of paper, a faint idea of who it might be forming in her mind, though she couldn’t yet determine what they wanted to achieve.

If it was merely about dragging her through the mud via online public opinion, it seemed rather inconsequential.

After all, it was all just grasping at straws. Once the Presidential Palace’s Public Opinion Response Team sprung into action, this small trouble could be easily settled.

So, what exactly did that person want to do? What would their next move be?

Purple continued to ponder to herself.

“Those who don’t want to attend the class can leave now,” Victoria Morrison suddenly spoke up from the podium with a cold voice, “If you think you are above this humble class because you have won a few lawsuits, and look down on it, then there’s no need to waste time here. I hope you have the same leisurely mood when it’s time to collect your credits at the end of term.”

Victoria Morrison was lecturing again.

Purple pursed her lips.

It definitely wasn’t her; if Victoria Morrison wanted revenge, she would surely choose a more straightforward and satisfying method.

…

As the online uproar intensified, Purple was curious to see how it would unfold. She had notified Alexander Summers not to interfere.

In the end, it was Christopher Simonson who couldn’t stand by and watch, instructing his subordinates to intervene.

However, just as Purple had predicted, as soon as the situation seemed to improve slightly, the other party revealed their new hand–
A series of negative news about Alexander Summers was thrown out all at once.

Mixing truth with lies: murder, drug trafficking, smuggling, usury, and illegal money laundering, among others.

This news exploded like a heavy bomb!

If the husband was such a villain, how innocent could the wife be?

The public was in an uproar.

Outraged netizens collectively forgot in that moment just how many lonely elders and out-of-school children Alexander’s charity fund had helped. They were solely led by their rage, vehemently opposing Purple “such an evil person” becoming a legal worker.

There even appeared a petition online, demanding the Judicial Training Institute expel Purple Summers!
