Translator: 549690339

Jane McCain was furious.

Today was her birthday banquet, and Purple Summers was a friend she had invited only to have her slandered in such a way. It was totally uncalled for!

Purple Summers, however, did not get angry, and replied calmly, “I was just having a casual chat with a friend, please don’t take it to heart.”

The woman wanted to ridicule her some more, but the man next to her said sternly, “Today is Ms. McCain’s birthday, let’s not make a scene.”

His tone was low and even seemed a bit gentle. The woman recoiled a bit upon hearing it, as if she was scared, “…Yes.”

Purple Summers became curious and took a closer look at the man in front of her.

He seemed like the other male guests at the gathering, dressed in formal attire, looking like a charming gentleman. But there was something different, a sober restraint, his eyes were as deep as a dark abyss, with an undercurrent of intensity in his grace.

His overall demeanor felt very mature, Purple Summers couldn’t guess his age.

The man asked her, “I heard you mentioning Allen Rivera earlier, do you know him?”

“Not exactly…” Purple Summers thought for a moment and responded carefully, “I just know a little about him. Although Prosecutor Rivera is relatively new, he is incredibly capable. If Mr. Graves is interested, you might want to look into it. The cases he handles, no matter how big or small, are always clear cut and orderly.”

Purple Summers addressed him as Mr. Graves, she guessed the man in front of her must be Gavin Graves, the chairman of Thunderbolt Entertainment Group.

As Purple Summers was observing him, he was also observing her.

Everyone speaks of his younger brother’s case as a sure victory, yet this young girl claims that there’s a high chance of losing…

His eyes narrowing, he quietly observed Purple Summers. His gaze was gentle, yet subtly sharp.

Purple Summers remained calm.

She hadn’t offended him, nor did she need anything from him. So there was no need to be afraid.

Even if Thunderbolt Entertainment Group was a massive conglomerate, she believed the boss would be a reasonable man. He couldn’t possibly hold a grudge against a young girl like her just because of a few casual remarks she made, could he?

“No matter how remarkable he is, Prosecutor Rivera has only been handling cases for a year. Surely he’s not that much of a threat to an entire team of top-tier lawyers, is he?” Gavin Graves smiled, his eyes calm and concealed. It was hard to tell whether he was pleased or annoyed.

He smiled faintly, his handsome features gentle, giving off a scholarly and cultured demeanor.

A man like this, polished by years, exhibited a wise and steady style in every move, his demeanor was extraordinary and rather captivating.

Purple Summers couldn’t help but admire him a bit.

However, it was merely admiration.

“Of course, the team of top-tier lawyers are formidable, I was just speculating earlier.” Purple Summers, with her bright, young face, laughed it off in innocence. “But Prosecutor Rivera is very meticulous with his cases, the chain of evidence he builds up is usually very complete. You should be careful.”

Her last remark, seemed both like an offhand joke and a friendly warning. Either way, it didn’t quite match her age or status.

This girl seems quite familiar with judicial procedures…

Gavin Graves couldn’t help but feel a slight surprise.

There were always women trying to approach him in all sorts of bizarre ways to capture his attention, but this one…wasn’t she a bit young?

“Thank you for your advice, young lady.” He asked politely, “What’s your name?”

Purple Summers gave a small smile and replied, “I’m Jane McCain’s classmate.”

She didn’t mention her own name.

She didn’t want to give anyone the wrong impression of trying to develop relationships with influential figures. It would seem cheap to put on airs, and besides, becoming involved with such an influential figure would cause more trouble than it’s worth.

Purple Summers didn’t chat with him any longer. After excusing herself, she went off with Jane McCain and Zara Jameson.

Jane McCain, with her spirits high, kept looking back from time to time.

Once they were a fair distance away, Jane McCain said to Purple Summers, “Young Master Graves is still watching you.”

Purple Summers, jokingly retorted, “It’s perfectly normal for him to want to look at someone as cute as me a few more times..”
