So…

Could the killer be Jade Carlson?

“It’ll all come to light eventually,” Aria Jackson gently patted her shoulder.

In the following few days, Aria asked the Technical Department staff at the police station to analyze the video. They preliminarily determined that the drug was white, in pill or powder form, easily soluble in alcohol, and had no noticeable odor.

They also arranged for people to visit pharmacies near Jade Carlson’s residence.

There should be records of drug sales, but Jade had only bought cold medicine twice.

Purple Summers had her company’s technicians check Jade Carlson’s online shopping records, but they didn’t find anything either.

The investigation seemed to have reached a dead end, losing direction.

But the drug couldn’t have appeared out of thin air. If it was not bought by her, it must have been given to her by someone else!

— Who gave the drug to Jade Carlson?

And for what purpose did they do this?

Purple Summers had no clue.

She found the suspect but couldn’t find conclusive evidence. The confusing truth made her feel anxious every day, depressed and listless. Even Zara Jameson noticed her offbeat mood. When asked, Purple Summers excused herself by saying that the coursework was too difficult.

After a few more days, the arrangement for skipping a grade was finalized.

Purple Summers joined Zara Jameson and Jane McCain’s class. The coursework was even harder and more abundant.

Weekly quizzes, monthly tests – the workload kept her busy, gradually distracting her from mourning her lost past.

Unconsciously, it was already November, deep in the bleak autumn.

Alexander Summers had been missing for nearly half a month.

He said he would be back in a few days, but there was still no news. Atra Blanc had gotten used to her son’s intermittent disappearances, though she still complained occasionally.

Purple Summers thought of him a few times.

Not that she missed him much. In fact, when Alexander Summers wasn’t around, she felt more relaxed and at ease, at least not having to worry about being attacked in her sleep at night.

But…

…well, there was some unease.

What if he died outside? Atra Blanc only had one son… although annoying, he wasn’t entirely without merit – filial, considerate… very attentive…

Ah! Why am I even thinking about this?!

Purple Summers was agitated.

Whenever she thought of Alexander Summers, her emotions became entangled and contradictory, very strange. She decided not to think about it anymore!

On Friday, just after the foreign language test, there was a math quiz in the afternoon.

They had all been tormented by numerous exams recently, so Jane McCain suggested going out to relax on Saturday.

Purple Summers initially didn’t want to go but agreed to join when she saw Jane McCain and Zara Jameson’s enthusiasm to avoid spoiling their fun.

The next day, Purple Summers dressed up and went to the agreed-upon location, but she didn’t see Jane McCain or Zara Jameson. Checking the time, she realized she arrived an hour early.

She wasn’t in a hurry and found a coffee shop nearby. She sipped her coffee while absentmindedly watching the passers-by on the street, waiting idly for the others to arrive.

As a result, she saw a familiar face.

To be precise, she couldn’t say they were close. It was Alexander Summers’ girlfriend.

If not for Atra Blanc occasionally mentioning this person, Purple Summers might not even remember her name—May Francis.

May Francis was across the street, looking a bit strange, as if she was… nervous?

Purple Summers was curious and couldn’t help looking closely.

Not long after, she saw Alexander Summers!

He was accompanied by a woman with big curls, bright red lips, and a seductive appearance and figure, which immediately reminded her of the woman she had met at Jane McCain’s birthday party.

…is this kind of beauty in fashion recently?

The woman was holding onto Alexander’s arm, very close. They walked side-by-side out of the hotel, strolling through the pedestrian street like a couple.

Purple Summers gazed in astonishment.

Though she knew he was a heartless, womanizing jerk, she was still stunned when she saw this scene….
