Fortunate to Have You This Lifetime

Lester paused, then continued, “The drug would take half an hour to take effect, so Ms. Foster waited until the dance begun to request Ms. Summers to deliver hangover tea to you. What she handed over, however, was a key card to Young Master Forrester’s room. Ms. Summers went to his room but didn’t go in. She threw the hangover tea into the trash and left the card at the room entrance, thus smoothly extricating herself.”

Gavin Graves’ lips held a faint smile as he said, “Lester, you seem to admire Ms. Summers.”

Lester considered this, then replied, “Ms. Summers is very kind.”

Gavin asked, “Kind? Shouldn’t you be praising her for being clever?”

Bella Foster’s schemes were layered and complex, yet Purple Summers was able to deduce her actions from her odd behavior and strike back. Gavin thought she was very smart.

Lester responded with a laugh, “I have seen many clever people while working with Young Master, those more cunning and meticulous than Ms. Summers are quite numerous. But I have yet to meet someone as kind as her.”

In this day and age, kindness often means loss, indifference, and stupidity.

Kindness has become a derogatory term.

When Lester called Purple Summers kind, he sincerely admired her.

He recounted to Gavin about what happened between Purple Summers and Yolanda Summers at the stairway.

“Ms. Summers is an adopted daughter in the Summers Family. I was in their house once, and noticed that Miss Summers was living alone in a small building in the garden. She apparently doesn’t get along with the rest of the Summers Family. She could have just watched from the sidelines when this happened, but she drew attention to the consequences, thus preventing Yolanda from getting into trouble.”

Gavin mused, “At such a young age, she can put aside grudges in difficult situations, not kick someone when they’re down, and is so open-minded. That’s really admirable.”

Typical sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls, when faced with such incidents, would probably be scared witless, let alone analyze the pros and cons for others.

Her composure signifies wisdom; her calm retaliation shows courage; and her willingness to set aside past grievances indicates her magnanimity and long-term consideration.

Coming across such a girl, Gavin was somewhat moved.

Bella Foster always assumed that Gavin preferred mature women, but she misunderstood the meaning of maturity.

Maturity isn’t about physical development or wearing heavy makeup. It’s about demeanor. Some people are born with this demeanor, while others need to weather the storm and endure the test of time to gradually develop it.

Gavin recalled Purple’s age, which was only a year younger than Bella Foster. If he could accept Bella as his female companion, why did he consider Purple childish?

Perhaps it was her cuteness?

Gavin smiled knowingly.

After the engagement banquet ended, Jane McCain was wary. She watched Gavin leave the banquet alone and rushed to tell Purple Summers, “Bella Foster is in trouble! Young Master Graves left alone and didn’t take her with him!”

As a female companion, she was supposed to arrive and leave with him. Gavin’s departure alone suggested that Bella Foster had definitely gotten into trouble.

Jane gloated, “Young Master Graves must have seen her disgrace herself. Serves her right! Let’s see if she dares to harm others next time.”

Zara Jameson was a little worried, looking at Purple, she asked, “Won’t Young Master Graves vent his anger on us?”

Purple innocently shrugged, “Bella Foster was the one who drugged the drink and went to the groom-to-be’s room. All we did was return the cup.”

If they still got blamed after doing this, she could only give in!

Jane, who never missed an opportunity to stir the pot, joked, “Young Master Graves even considered promoting Purple to stardom previously, how could he bear to vent his anger? On the contrary, he’s probably too busy sympathizing with her, haha!”
