Chapter 912: Chapter 912 The Scariest Thing_1
[Sorry, there was a mistake with the name earlier, it’s Henry Jameson, not Heng.]
It was already late, with a thick night settling in, as Henry Jameson saw Purple Summers off.
Once outside the courtyard, Purple glanced at Zara Jameson and her parents, who stood not far away, sighing inwardly. A lawsuit could often overwhelm an entire family.

Looking at Henry Jameson before her, Purple thought his luck was poor, having been entangled in legal cases twice in a row, each more serious than the last.
Last time it was a charge of corruption, this time it was murder, and once the verdict came down, if it was severe, he might face life imprisonment.
“To be honest, the odds of winning this case are not great,” Purple’s voice was low, so low only Henry could hear, “Although I really want to help you, we must face the reality. At the time of the crime, nobody can prove where you and Noelle Nichols were. The victim’s body tested positive for sleeping pills, and those sleeping pills happened to be Noelle’s, which you purchased for her, making you highly suspect as well.
If the prosecutor finds any motive for the murder, it’s almost impossible for this case to turn around, so if you have any relevant clues, anything at all, please be sure to tell me.”
Henry’s lips were tightly drawn into a line, and after a long silence, he uttered, “I really didn’t kill anyone.”
“What about Noelle Nichols?” Purple asked, “She lives close to the scene of the crime, is it possible that she returned to the scene to commit the murder?”
Henry’s face tensed, and he said with unwavering certainty, “Hannah couldn’t possibly commit murder.”
Purple watched him quietly then said after a moment, “Let’s hope that’s the case.”
As she turned to get into the car, Henry abruptly called out to her, “Why doesn’t anyone suspect suicide? Maybe he committed suicide!”
Purple paused, then turned back to look at him, “Because of a sense of dignity, Henry, no one wants to commit suicide naked.”
To be found naked meant the body would be discovered in a state of undress, indecent.
Usually, those who commit suicide wish to leave the world with dignity; subconsciously, they strive for a sense of comfort, like those who jump to their deaths will take off their shoes, and those who overdose on sleeping pills will lie neatly dressed on their beds.
The death of Sean Patterson looked more like someone was deliberately creating the illusion of an accident: the victim drowned in the bathtub after falling asleep from the drug’s effect.
Or perhaps, it really was an accident.
No one knew.
Purple got into the car and immediately leaned into the man sitting beside her.
“Alright… you got your wish, I won’t have to attend the wedding tomorrow,” Purple said with a muffled voice.
“How did it go?” Alexander Summers stroked her hair, which was cool, smooth, and soft, as if he was grooming a cat.
“Not too well,” Purple sighed softly, “There’s no alibi, and there’s a whole bunch of motives for the murder. I’m afraid more incriminating evidence will surface in the next few days.”
“But weren’t there two people? Maybe the other person did it,” Alexander said.
Purple chuckled, whether in exasperation or something else, her tone was complex, “Henry says neither of them is guilty. Sigh, I really hope Sean Patterson committed suicide, otherwise, there is no way to fight this lawsuit…”
With that, she let out a long sigh.
Alexander was silent for a moment, then also sighed.
Purple looked up at him, amused, “Why are you sighing? Worrying for me?”
“My woman is thinking about another man all the time, how can I not worry?” Alexander said.
Purple laughed at his joke, hooked her arm around Alexander’s neck, and gently pressed her lips against his, warm and tender.
“Do you know what the prosecutor is most afraid of?” Purple murmured the question as their lips met.
Alexander asked, “Not catching the criminal?”
Purple shook her head gently, “More than not catching the criminal, a prosecutor fears sending an innocent person to jail.”
