Fortunate to Have You This Lifetime

Chapter 373: Chapter 373: Accountability

To put it bluntly, Gavin Graves, with his status and position, could have any woman he desired just by making a phone call, and she would bound towards him with joy and delight.

Even if Purple Summers wasn’t willing, her family would neatly tie her up and respectfully present her before Gavin Graves.

The more cautious and careful a man’s attitude towards a woman, the more it signifies her importance in his heart.

Gavin Graves’ willingness to patiently simmer, rather than summon her with a single phone call, was an act of respect towards Purple Summers.

Remembering the adorable girl she had seen just once at the engagement party, who looked as delicate and exquisite as a porcelain doll, Mrs. McCain couldn’t help but sigh in admiration.

Being the object of affection for two men from prominent families, she wasn’t sure if it was a blessing or a curse.

Purple Summers and her friends rushed to the police station, where they ran into Lester Williams.

The director of the police station warmly greeted him with a handshake and said, “Mr. Williams, it’s very kind of you to personally deal with this minor issue. We would have taken care of everything if you’d simply given us a call.”

“In matters of loyalty, one can’t take chances,” replied Mr. Williams with a smile.

Since Mr. Williams tends to all in the Graves Family, his words indicated that Young Master Graves wanted to protect Aria Jackson.

The director smiled courteously, but was inwardly shocked, thinking, “So, Aria Jackson is related to Young Master Graves?!”

“Actually, it’s all a trivial matter,” explained the director, “Officer Jackson takes her work seriously and investigates every tiny clue thoroughly. Her penalty this time is mainly because the Prosecutor’s Office… they’re too severe.”

“It’s disheartening to see such a good officer facing penalty,” remarked Mr. Williams politely, “I think we should waive the punishment and just give Officer Jackson a reminder. Why cause such a commotion, don’t you agree?” The director hastily agreed, “Yes, that’s exactly right!”

He then took out his cigarette box, offered one to Mr. Williams, and added, “But the Prosecutor’s Office and our department are separate entities. We have no control over their actions. Officer Jackson is definitely no longer allowed to investigate this case; it has already been classified as an accident.”

“Thankyou for the trouble, director,” Mr. Williams complimented him.

As Purple Summers and her friends approached, they greeted Mr. Williams.

“Mr. Williams,” Purple Summers, who had heard the entire conversation, expressed her appreciation, “Thankyou so much.”

When Mr. Williams saw Purple Summers, a humble smile crossed his face, “Ms. Summers, if you ever encounter difficulties again, don’t hesitate to speak to Young Master Graves. Without Mrs. Spencer, we wouldn’t have even known you were in trouble.”

Purple Summers and Jane McCain exchanged astonished glances.

They never expected that Young Master Graves would be involved in this matter.

“A trivial matter like this, I wouldn’t dare disturb Young Master Graves…” Purple Summers felt indebted again and said, “Thank you for your help today. I will make sure to express my gratitude properly on another day.”

“You’re being too polite, Ms. Summers,” Mr. Williams said with a smile. After taking care of business and greeting Purple Summers, he left.

The director personally took them to see Aria Jackson.

Aria Jackson had been deemed negligent in her duties, and in addition to being suspended from all her work, she was harshly interrogated by the supervising department’s personnel. While it wasn’t physical punishment, the questioning was mentally torturing, and she was also required to write a reflective report after the incident.

When Aria Jackson walked out of the interrogation room, her face was sullen.

“Aria, being diligent in case investigation is good, but you cannot miss any procedural steps in your work. Do remember this,” The director, who was in his fifties, said kindly, patting her shoulder, “You’ve been wronged this time, go have a couple of days off to relax.”

“Thankyou, director,” Aria Jackson replied sternly.

Aria Jackson and Purple Summers left the police station together, where Aria told Purple, “The Prosecutor’s Office has forbidden me from investigating this case, so I can’t accompany you to Peachwater Village.”

Purple Summers asked her, “Although investigating privately is wrong, it’s not the first time it’s happened. Why are they holding you accountable this time?”
