Purple Summers’s heart tightened, sensing something wrong.

Did Jade Carlson really tamper with the forensic report?

Purple was uncertain, her intuition told her that Jade had some kind of scheme, but rationally speaking, it was an extremely foolish move! Even if the appraisal report couldn’t be used, Marcel Jefferson could easily apply for a re-appraisal, and the lawsuit would be won sooner or later. It was just a matter of time

Jade’s attempts to disrupt the case seemed pointless. Was it just to embarrass Purple today, so she went all the way to ruin the forensic report?

Why would Jade go this far?

As Purple’s thoughts raced, she hurriedly walked out, but it was too late.

A crowd had already gathered at the bottom of the long steps leading to the courthouse entrance, and the security guard at the courthouse was calling the emergency center.

Purple’s heart raced, as she quickly ran down the stairs, squeezed into the crowd, and saw Larissa Hamilton sitting on the ground in pain, her face pale. “Larissa?!” Purple exclaimed in surprise. “Are you hurt? What happened?!” Larissa was in unbearable pain, biting her lip and gasping for breath. A bystander answered for her: “A man suddenly rushed over and pushed this girl off the stairs. She fell so hard from such a high platform, it’s fortunate she didn’t hit her head.”

Larissa spoke up: “Ms. Summers, what should we do? He stole my bag! The appraisal report is still inside!” She was on the verge of tears.

Purple immediately tried to reassure her: “If the report is gone, it’s gone. Your safety is the most important thing. Where did you fall?”

“My leg hurts so much, I can’t move.”

“It might be fractured, don’t move for now. Just bear with it; the ambulance will be here soon.”

Larissa nodded, biting her lip. Beads of sweat the size of beans slid down her forehead, clearly in great pain.

Purple suddenly realized that, despite witnessing so much evil, she had still assumed people were too good.

She thought Jade would steal, swap, or block Larissa, but she hadn’t expected Jade’s heart to harm others! To cause Purple to lose face, Jade would go to such malicious lengths. Although falling from such a high platform might simply result in scrapes and bruises, hitting one’s head or spine could result in fractures and disabilities!

Rage surged in Purple’s heart. She couldn’t forgive what Jade had done!

The ambulance soon arrived, and Purple helped Larissa board it.

Standing at the courthouse entrance, watching the ambulance drive away, waves of anger and urgency crashed through her heart.

Without the appraisal report, how could she convict Robin Harper?

… Apply for forensic appraisal and continue to delay the proceedings?

Purple turned around and walked back into the courthouse, climbing the steps layer by layer. With each step, her heart sank further.

By the time she entered the courtroom, her emotions had completely settled, and she regained her composure.

Marcel Jefferson was questioning Gerald Graves in an attempt to improve his image in the jury’s eyes; nobody noticed Purple.

She silently returned to her seat, turning her head to meet Jade’s somewhat provocative gaze.

Jade looked smug, her eyes filled with contempt and provocation.

But at the depths of Purple’s eyes, there was neither anger nor impatience, only a calmness resembling the still waters of a deep pool at night, without a single ripple.

“Where is the appraisal report?” Marcel Jefferson subtly signaled Purple for an update during a pause in his questioning.

Purple didn’t speak, and instead opened her laptop in front of her, typing a few lines of text in the document.

Marcel read it, and his face turned pale!

“Can this… really work?” He was extremely nervous.

Purple continued to communicate with him via text.

After reading, Marcel clenched his teeth in pain, “… All right, since you say so, I’ll give it a try.”

At this moment, the judge asked, “Defense lawyer, have you finished your questioning?”

Marcel loosened his tie to relieve some tension and stood up to reply: “Your Honor, I’d like to call Mr. Robin Harper to the stand to testify.”
