Fortunate to Have You This Lifetime-Chapter 856 - Facing _1

Chapter 856 -856 Facing _1

The Old Mrs. Carter looked at Purple Summers, and perhaps it was her mood that made her more and more fond of the girl before her, as if she truly saw a reflection of her younger self.

Purple had won the lawsuit and once again helped Christopher Simonson resolve a crisis, and had also made her look very respectable in front of Old Mrs. Carter; now, Old Mrs. Carter’s fondness for Purple had greatly increased.

“You eat too little on a daily basis, my child, nutritional supplements alone won’t do. You can’t skip any of the three meals a day, and if there’s nothing to your taste, just let the kitchen know. I hear you young people like Western food? The cooks here can make that as well…” she rambled on with a tone full of elder’s care.

Purple kept her head down and silently ate her bird’s nest porridge, listening quietly.

The other people at the table each had a subtle expression on their faces.

Old Mrs. Carter then mentioned that Purple’s trip to Kingsley had already caused her to miss over half a month of school, suggesting it might be better for her to stay and study in Kingsley and actively listed several decent high schools.

Old Master Simonson finally couldn’t help but cough softly a few times, signaling to Old Mrs. Carter to stop talking.

Even Old Master Simonson couldn’t help but suspect what Old Mrs. Carter’s intentions were as her attitude changed so abruptly.

“Purple and her foster mother are very close. We can’t just decide to leave her behind without saying anything. Besides, she only has half of the school term left. After she finishes, she’s supposed to come to Kingsley anyway. There’s no rush for this last half year,” Old Master Simonson said.

Old Mrs. Carter’s brow furrowed slightly, looking somewhat displeased.

Because Old Master Simonson brought up Purple’s foster mother, Old Mrs. Carter naturally thought of Purple’s origins and the way she was born and then adopted by someone else.

“Indeed, no golden or silver nest is better than one’s own dog nest. No matter how one stays here, it will never feel quite right. You should go back early to show filial respect to your foster mother, lest people think you despise poverty and adore wealth.”

Disgust creeping into her voice, Old Mrs. Carter spoke with a sharp tone.

Yet everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

This was the Old Mrs. Carter they knew…

The way she was acting before really was unaccustomed.

The atmosphere around the dining table finally returned to normal. Purple, holding a white porcelain spoon delicately painted, slowly savored the bird’s nest porridge in her bowl and found it extremely delicious.

…

The news of Edward Carter’s release from all charges, after a day of ferment on the Internet, had become a wildly discussed topic with countless hot keywords.

Experts humorously commented that this was the first case in Huaya Country’s history that truly “had eggs to stand on.”

Under the news, the rubbernecking crowd started making various comments—

SeaJun: Look, these eggs are crucial!

Bashful Frosty: Eggs are indeed important.

Unexpected: Has eggs to stand on.

Blue Shower: It’s got an egg’s worth of use

“Has eggs to stand on” became the catchphrase of the year, as netizens began to share photos of their own eggs, including silkworm eggs they raised in childhood, insect eggs they stumbled upon accidentally on the roadside, and fish roe they picked out while eating fish.

Those who couldn’t find any eggs displayed chicken eggs instead, and some even shared their B-ultrasound images from their pregnancies.

In short, those with eggs were the winners.

Zara Jameson called Purple to ask when she would be back in class and told her, “Everyone’s ready.”

Purple couldn’t help but laugh and cry, “Don’t be silly.”

She was amazed at the wit of this bunch, wondering how every time she fought a serious lawsuit, it ended up being turned into a joke.

Having received a few more calls to “mock” her, she passed another day in fits of laughter. When she woke up the next day and realized it was the day of the banquet, she felt a kind of resigned anticipation.

Today, Christopher Simonson would announce she was his daughter.

Just like Violet Nelson said, she would achieve her goal and then return to Clearwater to face everything she needed to face.

… to face Nathaniel Summers’ years of resentment, Damian Howard’s looming threat, and also, the uncertainty about Alexander Summers’ life and death.
