Fortunate to Have You This Lifetime

Chapter 234: Heading Towards the Peak

Translator: 549690339

Jade Carlson was truly happy.

She felt that her life was about to reach its peak. Once the court hearing was over, she would become famous throughout Clearwater City, and later, even throughout the country!

— A female prosecutor who cracked a serial murder case, how prestigious!

She would gain honor and status at the same time: the daughter of the mayor!

Bathed in the halo, she would outshine Suzanne Saunders from before! No matter how excellent Suzanne was, she was only a commoner, while Jade was born noble!

Jade Carlson explained to Nathaniel Summers why she was the daughter of Mayor Carlson.

Of course, her wording was rather exquisite, for example, she said that her mother and Mayor Carlson had been lovers, and only after breaking up did they realize she was pregnant.

However, in fact, her mother was just one of many women who had been with Mayor Carlson. She had Jade Carlson by chance, but was not valued by him.

As a man in politics, having an unchecked private life was a major flaw. Back then, Mayor Carlson wasn’t the mayor yet and saw this as a stain. He never wanted to acknowledge Jade’s identity, especially since his current wife had given birth to three daughters for him, and the Carlson family wasn’t lacking daughters.

Jade Carlson was never contented.

She could have a noble status, blending into high society, so why should she remain nameless and ultimately marry a common man to spend her days?

Jade Carlson worked hard to improve herself, and she had a tenacity that ordinary people lacked, finally achieving her wish to enter the Prosecutor’s Office.

If she could become a prosecutor, Mayor Carlson would certainly be proud and acknowledge her identity.

However, her application was rejected by Suzanne Saunders.

Finally, Suzanne died, and Jade wanted to take the evidence of Mayor Carlson receiving bribes from Suzanne’s computer to ingratiate herself with the mayor. However, the files in the computer disappeared.

But in the end, she turned her luck around!

A three-year unsolved case was solved by her! She became the female hero of Clearwater City! With her as his daughter, Mayor Carlson would not only gain prestige but also benefit his career. She was finally about to acquire the long- desired status!

— Jade Carlson, the daughter of the mayor, a lady from a prestigious family!

The utmost joy was evident on Jade’s face, making her expression intoxicated with self-satisfaction, and her smile was radiant.

“Dad said that not only would there be a family banquet with relatives and friends, but also many leaders would attend the dinner. Nathaniel, can you come?” Jade Carlson looked at Nathaniel Summers with meaningful eyes. “Getting to know these people could be helpful to you in the future.”

She seemed like a dutiful wife, constantly considering how to help her husband’s career.

Nathaniel Summers was somewhat tempted.

But it was not the right time…

Under what identity should he attend the banquet? The identity of an ordinary friend certainly wasn’t enough to attend such a family banquet, but at a deeper level… he and Jade Carlson had not yet reached that point.

Nathaniel Summers had already recovered from the shock of seeing the mayor and looked away, vaguely saying, “We’ll see when the time comes.”

Jade Carlson didn’t mind.

If it had been in the past, she might have been anxious, but now, with the halo of her new identity supporting her, she didn’t believe Nathaniel would refuse her.

If she were an ordinary woman, it would be understandable to stay with Nathaniel with no name and no status, but now she was the mayor’s daughter! Could the mayor’s daughter just be with any man as she pleased?

Jade Carlson’s smile remained gentle on her face, but that gentleness carried with it a sense of triumph and certainty.

She wanted Nathaniel to willingly marry her!

From then on, she would be the most outstanding female prosecutor, the mayor’s daughter of Clearwater City, and the noble and beautiful mistress of the Summers family.

Status, family background, marriage – she would be extraordinary in every aspect!

When Jade Carlson thought of this, her blood seemed to heat up, and she couldn’t wait anymore… The court hearing in a week would be the beginning of all this glory!
