Chapter 690: Chapter 690: The Most Beautiful Judicial Candidate_1
Leon Brown is the son of a real estate magnate, with a wealthy and influential family behind him. Lindsay Carpenter is suing Leon Brown, and his lawyers would not sit idly by.
Bribing witnesses before the hearing is the most direct and effective method.
Marcel Jefferson should have been prepared for this.
But he had just arrived in Kingsley from Clearwater, and his actions were not as convenient as those of the Kingsley locals, thus losing the initiative.
“Can you get in touch with your sister, Charlotte Bishop, right now?” asked Marcel Jefferson.
Lindsay Carpenter hurriedly replied, “Yes! Do you need me to contact her now?”
Marcel Jefferson said, “After you find her, you two should find a place to stay for a couple of days. It would be best not to let her come into contact with anyone from the Brown Family before the court hearing.”
“Okay,” Lindsay Carpenter nodded.
Marcel Jefferson pondered for a moment; he still had the hospital’s injury report in his hands. As long as he protected Charlotte Bishop, there was still a chance to win this lawsuit.
Naturally, Purple Summers wasn’t kept in the dark about this, and Marcel Jefferson immediately called to inform her.
Purple Summers had the same idea as Marcel Jefferson, to isolate and protect the witness first to prevent the other party from finding loopholes.
After hanging up the phone, Purple Summers held her mobile phone and spaced out a bit.
Alexander Summers asked her what was wrong.
“One of the witnesses was swayed by the other side,” Purple Summers told him.
Alexander said, “Buy the witness back with money?”
If the other side offered double, he would offer triple, five times, ten times more. There’s nobody who could resist money in this world.
But Purple Summers shook her head, “If they’ve already done this, they’ll definitely be on guard against us. If we try to bribe the witness, they could use that to accuse us instead, and then we wouldn’t even be able to go to court over it.”
Having lost the initiative, any move they made seemed reactive.
Watching a lawsuit that had victory within reach suddenly face complications would unsettle anyone.
Purple Summers and Alexander Summers had planned to go out for fun that day, but after receiving the call from Marcel Jefferson, Purple Summers lost the mood for entertainment and started carefully reading through the case materials.
Alexander poured her a cup of warm water and gently placed it beside her.
Purple Summers took a sip from the cup, looked up and saw Alexander staring at her unblinkingly. She couldn’t help but smile and asked him, “Why are you staring at me the whole time?”
“You’re beautiful,” Alexander said with a smile.
Purple Summers took it as him sweet-talking her into a good mood again, and with a sweet smile, she went back to her reading.
Alexander liked her current state.
She was like an athlete on a racetrack, focused on a target, then running towards the light, without hesitation, without confusion.
Confident and resolute, she lived a life people envied. Whatever happened, she would give her all, fighting for what she stood by, her bright eyes seeming to shine—
That was the light he had longed for during the dark, chaotic, and aimless days of his past.
When illuminated by her light, he felt truly alive.
…
On Thursday, Purple Summers’s phone was flooded with messages.
Zara Jameson, Jane McCain, and her classmates all sent messages, praising her for looking beautiful on camera and joking that the reporters had good taste.
Only then did Purple Summers realize she had become a little famous.
Her interview from last time, along with other candidates, was edited together and broadcast. Although it lasted only a short ten or so seconds, it caused a wild spree of sharing online.
Netizens gave her the title of “Most Beautiful Judicial Candidate.”
Under the news video, many people commented:
“It’s like seeing hope for the future of the judicial field.”
“A rising star is on the ascent.”
“We strongly demand the examiners admit this student!”
Students from Grey actively left comments, proudly saying, “She is our All-Powerful Queen from our school!”
This piece of news was like a charming little splash in Kingsley, small, yet full of interest.
That evening, on the country’s most authoritative news talk show, the host followed up on the trending news, throwing a question to the recently popular presidential candidate—
“Mr. Simonson, do you pay attention to hot comments online? The Most Beautiful Judicial Candidate made a comment about this year’s exam questions; what are your thoughts on this?”
