The public probably thought it was a common kidnapping case, their attention captivated by the python that saved the day, and the majority of the conversation revolved around that.

Cleo not only became the center of attention but also acted as a sort of fig leaf in a sense.

Only those who attended the banquet that day would be clear about the inside story, such as Mrs. Farrell mistakenly trusting a venomous assistant, and the fact that her assistant seemed to have had an improper relationship with her husband.

All these scandals were suppressed to avoid damaging the reputations of the governor’s secretary and Mrs. Farrell.

Jade Carlson did not lose face in public, which Purple Summers found somewhat regrettable, but considering Jade’s current predicament, she likely had enough bitterness to deal with.

At this moment, Jade was in the detention center, awaiting her fate.

She was well aware that once the procedures were complete, what awaited her was the misery of a jail cell!

But how could she go to jail?! Going to jail would leave a criminal record! Even after getting out, she would have no future!

“Uncle Lowell, I beg of you! Please, talk to my father again, for all the things I’ve done for him, ask him to help me out!” Jade pleaded in agony.

In front of her sat a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses, the housekeeper of the mayor’s family.

“Ms. Carlson, if it were anything else, Mayor Carlson might lend a hand, but this time you’ve committed an offense, and you’ve crossed the governor’s secretary. It’s too difficult for the mayor, truly.”

Jade urgently said, “He can’t just ignore me! I’ve helped him so much…”

The housekeeper adjusted his glasses calmly, “That’s not quite right to say, Ms. Carlson. Though you have helped the mayor quite a bit, he has never been unfair to you, has he? Who helped you pass when you were two points short on your judicial examination? Who helped you get acquainted with Mrs. Farrell after you resigned from the Prosecutor’s Office? Ms. Carlson, you need to recognize what’s been done for you…”

“I am his daughter, he can’t really let me go to jail!” Jade was on the verge of tears, “Uncle Lowell, I can’t go to jail! The mayor’s daughter going to jail would also damage my father’s reputation!”

The housekeeper’s expression turned cold, “Ms. Carlson, please watch your words. Mayor Carlson simply acknowledged you as his goddaughter, nothing more. Whether there is a blood relationship or not, without a paternity test, all those spoken words, even if repeated ten thousand times, count for nothing. I came here today to tell you to watch what you say. If this matter implicates the mayor, you should understand the consequences.”

“Uncle Lowell!” Jade panicked, her tears flowing freely, “I beg you, Uncle Lowell! I did this to better help my father in the future…”

But the housekeeper had already stood up, clearly no longer willing to listen, and said indifferently, “Ms. Carlson, don’t beg me. I think you should fend for yourself.”

“No! Don’t leave me, Uncle Lowell! Uncle Lowell, please!”

No matter how Jade called out, the housekeeper still left the visitation room.

Jade sat dejectedly, her expression vacant. Was this really the end for her?… Going to jail, reforming, spending who knows how many years… before she could see daylight again…

No!

Her life was not meant to be like this!

She couldn’t give up!… Now, there was still one person… Only that person could help her!

…

Purple Summers received a call from Aria Jackson, which was a surprise to her.

“Jade Carlson wants to see me?” Purple Summers said in bewilderment, “What trick is she thinking of pulling now?”

Aria Jackson had been paying close attention to Jade Carlson, so as soon as Jade submitted her request, Aria was informed.

“She went to that mayor ‘dad’ of hers, but he ignored her, just sending the housekeeper instead,” Aria explained, “I think Jade must be at her wit’s end.”

After thinking it over, Purple Summers said, “Let her stew for a few days first.”
