Fortunate to Have You This Lifetime

“He’s still alive, right?” Purple Summers asked.

Zack Wallace said with a smile, “We wouldn’t dare let him die without your command. He just fainted from the pain; he’s very much alive.”

Purple Summers thought for a moment, then turned to Gerald Graves and asked, “Second young master, do you have anything on you that can prove your identity?”

Gerald Graves seemed not to hear Purple Summers’s voice and just stared blankly at Leroy on the ground.

“Second young master?” Purple Summers called out again, feeling speechless inside. Could it be that Gerald Graves had caught her fever too?

“Ah… Ah?!” Gerald Graves snapped out of his daze and looked straight at Purple Summers, “Oh, yes… yes.”

He removed a watch from his wrist and placed it on the table, saying, “My name is engraved on the back of this watch; my brother would recognize it at a glance.”

“Good, we’ll use this then,” Purple Summers nodded. “When he wakes up, we still need him to cooperate to finish this play and lure out the mastermind behind the scenes.”

She lifted her eyes to Gerald Graves, “Second young master, can you find a place to hide for the next few days? According to their plan, the blackmail letter will be sent to the Graves Family in three days, and they won’t withdraw until after six days. Only then will we find out who is trying to harm us.”

As she spoke, she made a joking remark, “If it turns out to be Bella Foster, would you be shocked?”

Gerald Graves tried to force a smile, only to find that he couldn’t smile at all…

His hands and feet were icy and stiff.

The thought that had it not been for Purple Summers bringing a gun and seizing the initiative, he might now be with broken legs and blinded eyes, living a life worse than death, sent shivers of fear through Gerald Graves.

This conspiracy was truly terrifying!

Even more terrifying than the time he was framed for murder!

Murder would only end in imprisonment and a fine, but this kidnapping was a torture to him!

To a playboy who had never known hardship in the first half of his life, the pain of losing his legs and eyes was unimaginable.

Gerald Graves felt he would rather die!

He would rather die than live and suffer!

Who on earth wanted to harm him like this?!

Fear, confusion, and anger took over all of his emotions. Having always had his big brother to shield him from such events, his heart now fluctuated wildly, unable to calm down.

But Purple Summers seemed very calm; her tone was lazy and indifferent as if she were mentioning an insignificant matter, “I won’t go to school these days either. Ask for some leave on my behalf, and let’s watch the show together in six days…”

Zack Wallace said, “Don’t worry, we will handle everything perfectly.”

Gerald Graves looked at Purple Summers, who was feverish and had a face redder and more tender than usual, her clear and pure eyes holding a glint of breathtaking beauty. Her high fever made her eyes look somewhat hazy, adding to her allure.

Gerald Graves suddenly realized why Roy Howard had taken an interest in a young female student.

However, that interest would probably have to be nipped in the bud; Roy Howard couldn’t afford to create such a big enemy for himself at the critical moment of competing for the position of family head!

It just wasn’t worth it!

“Second young master,” Zack Wallace asked him with a friendly face and a smile, “If you have nowhere to go, my boss has a few other villas.”

Gerald Graves forced a smile, “No need… I’ll just stay here for a few days. It’s like a rural retreat; I might as well experience it for once.”

He definitely did not want to get entangled with Roy Howard, a well-known and malevolent figure who had just killed two people with a bomb not long ago and was currently busy with his wedding reception, a typical sadist who found pleasure in others’ agony!

Zack Wallace left a few people to continue watching over Leroy and then escorted Purple Summers away.

Gazing at their departing figures, Gerald Graves suddenly felt uneasy: wasn’t Roy Howard about to get engaged? And he was keeping a mistress on the side? Wasn’t he afraid the Miss of the Howard Family would explode with rage?!
