Chapter 887: Chapter 887 Still Alive_1
Alexander Summers sat up, his long eyebrows raised in a defiant and uninhibited manner, “Daring to answer another man’s call on my bed, Purple, you’re quite bold.”
“Stop it,” Purple Summers explained, “Young Master Graves had news of my mother and specially called to inform me!”
Alexander retorted, “I think he just wants to pick you up.”
Purple couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time. She found it unlikely, as Gavin Graves was known for having high standards; all his ex-girlfriends were famously talented. As for Purple, she had no artistic talents and lacked a literary cell—she was not connected to art in any way.
“He’s being kind. He’s your friend, and I guess he wants to help me out for your sake.”
“Friends should not covet each other’s wives, I would never befriend someone who takes advantage in such situations,” Alexander said sardonically.
Purple couldn’t help but laugh, “You’re really terrible when you talk.”
She knew that Alexander was upset about being interrupted and tried to cheer him up. She walked over, hugged him, and kissed him, imitating his tone to console him, “Don’t be angry, tonight I’ll help you…”
Alexander looked down at her with a gaze sharp as a wolf’s, “How many times?”
Purple, laughing, pushed him away, “In your dreams! At most once!”
“I’ll take some interest then!” Alexander grabbed Purple and threw her back onto the bed!
The two of them fooled around in bed once again.
…
Gavin Graves sat alone in his study, his cigarette burning down to a stub without a sound, falling into the ashtray, becoming a pile of ash.
He didn’t know why, but he kept listening to the phone call.
Really, he should’ve hung up.
But when he heard the faint ambiguous moaning from the other end, it was like a fine feather tickling his ear, sending a shiver through him, and his mind went blank.
Gavin’s fingers whitened from the tension.
He inexplicably didn’t hang up and kept on listening, listening…
He heard no more sounds, but he never hung up.
Gavin had been with women before; he knew exactly what those sounds meant. Still, he never expected to be caught off guard and hear them on Purple’s call.
…Who could it be?
Was Roy Howard still alive?
After such an explosion, survival would be hard for anyone; how could Roy Howard possibly be alive?
Then was it another man?… Impossible. Purple’s social circle was always simple and clear, with a few male friends who were well-known to her, none of them particularly close.
Gavin gradually came to his senses, wondering if he had heard wrong.
Perhaps he had truly heard wrong.
With that thought in mind, he sat desolate in his study for a long time, forgetting about the passing time.
Gerald Graves knocked on his door, “Brother, Ms. Summers is here. Should I let her come up now?”
Gavin’s frozen thoughts suddenly sparked to life, and after a moment of silence, he said, “She should be addressed as Ms. Simonson now.”
Second Young Master Graves laughed, “Just not used to it yet… Hey, then I’ll invite Ms. Simonson up.”
About to leave the room, he teased his brother, “Inviting Ms. Simonson at this time, brother, are you planning to keep her for dinner? Quite sly.”
Gavin just smiled and didn’t defend himself.
Taking that as a confirmation, Second Young Master Graves cheerfully went downstairs to summon Purple.
Ever since Roy Howard’s incident, Gerald noticed his brother interacting with Purple more frequently, which he saw as a positive development.
For a reserved and beautiful lady is the right match for a gentleman. Purple was attractive and intelligent, with a courage rare in women; it was normal for Gavin to be attracted.
Had this happened before Roy’s incident, Gerald would’ve vehemently objected. After all, Roy was a psychopath, ferociously cruel to a degree that no one dared provoke, and even Gavin, his equal, kept a respectful distance.
Second Young Master Graves certainly didn’t want his brother to get into trouble over a woman.
But now, Roy Howard was dead.

Though it felt somewhat improper, Gerald was honestly happy for his brother!
