Chapter 562: Chapter 562 Congratulations (New Year’s Extra) _1
Aria Jackson’s text message made Purple Summers feel both disgusted and shocked. freeweɓnovel.cøm
She had thought that after exposing Jade Carlson’s true nature, Nathaniel Summers would want nothing to do with Jade, but surprisingly, they were actually going to get engaged!
In fact, it wasn’t just Purple Summers who was shocked; Aria Jackson was too! Otherwise, she wouldn’t have followed that sentence with three question marks.
Purple was at school, surrounded by classmates, and it wasn’t convenient to call for inquiries, so she sent a text to Aria asking where she got the news from.
Aria replied quickly, saying Nathaniel Summers had specifically texted her to tell her.
Purple Summers was even more speechless…
“Could he be trying to deliberately upset you?” This was Aria Jackson’s most immediate feeling, “He knows we are good friends, so did he deliberately tell me this, thinking I’d pass it on to you? Since when did Nathaniel become so childish?”
“If it’s really just to annoy me, then it doesn’t matter that much,” Purple Summers’s fingers rapidly typed on the phone, “I’m worried this might be another one of Jade Carlson’s schemes.”
Jade Carlson was really too restless.
Every time things quieted down for a while, she would cause a fuss again, which made Purple Summers feel like everything related to Jade Carlson was steeped in conspiracy and trickery.
Aria Jackson replied, “We’ve been struggling to catch her red-handed; the more she stirs up trouble, the better. Perhaps this will give us a chance to find out where the drugs came from.”
Purple Summers deeply agreed.
All the clues led to Jade Carlson and then stopped. Jade never told the truth, layering lies upon lies, like a bottomless pit that one couldn’t fathom.
Perhaps this engagement could really be an opportunity.
If they could just push Jade Carlson into a corner one more time… maybe she would divulge the truth.
The bell signaling the start of class rang, pulling Purple Summers’s thoughts back to the classroom.
…
Evelyn Willard returned to her living space and discovered that the corridor had been splashed with fresh red paint.
The pristine white walls were written on in a bold, fierce font saying “Pay what you owe,” like a message written in blood.
She tugged at the corner of her mouth, not surprised at all, and nonchalantly stepped in her high heels to her front door, taking out the keys to unlock it.
The door was double-locked from inside; Evelyn Willard turned the keys several times before she could fully open the security door.
Jade Carlson stood anxiously in the living room.
Upon seeing Evelyn Willard enter, she relaxed a bit and asked, “Have they left?”
“They’ve left.” Evelyn Willard had already guessed what happened when she saw the paint. Annoyed, she kicked off her shoes, switched to slippers, and sat on the sofa to make a phone call.
“Baldy sent people again, making a mess everywhere,” Evelyn Willard said to the person on the other end of the call. “Come over and clean it up, I can’t manage it alone.”
After a brief conversation, the call ended quickly.
Jade Carlson was not interested in whom Evelyn was talking to. Lately, her mood had been terrible, and with the continuous scares, her emotions were starting to become unstable.
Seeing Evelyn Willard’s excessively calm demeanor, and recalling her own fears while at home, Jade felt increasingly that it was unfair, and said angrily, “How much money do you owe? Why would debt collectors come to our home?! I’ve given you so much money before, where is it? Where did you spend it?!”
Evelyn Willard replied, “They just came to cause trouble; I’ve paid back the principal a long time ago. Only the interest is left.”
“Loan sharks make their money from compounded interest!” Jade Carlson yelled furiously, “Continuing to live here, you’ll end up getting me killed sooner or later! I’m moving out today!”
She turned and ran back to her room, starting to pack her bags immediately.
Evelyn Willard, helpless, walked over to persuade her, “Stop fussing, you have nowhere to go.”
Jade Carlson kept stuffing clothes into her suitcase, ignoring her.
After thinking for a moment, Evelyn Willard revealed a smile, “Hey, I’ve brought back some good news, Nathaniel is going to get engaged to you.”
Jade Carlson’s movements in her hands paused, and she looked surprised, “What did you say?”
“I said, congratulations, you’re going to be the Summers family’s third young lady soon,” Evelyn Willard smiled.
