Fortunate to Have You This Lifetime

Chapter 868: Chapter 868 Damn_1

Purple Summers gripped her cellphone, her heart in turmoil.

She couldn’t be sure whether Atra Blanc was deliberately avoiding her calls or something had happened and she couldn’t answer.

Thinking of Atra Blanc’s gentle nature and recalling Damian Howard’s potential threat, Purple Summers felt anxious.

She couldn’t wait any longer, something might have happened to Atra Blanc!

Purple Summers called Aria Jackson. She wanted to report a missing person. Even though it wasn’t Aria Jackson’s department, they were still at the police station, and having acquaintances there would surely be helpful.

Aria Jackson comforted Purple Summers, asking her not to worry, saying that she would start investigating immediately and notify her as soon as there was a lead.

The police checked Atra Blanc’s prepaid debit card records and found that she had recently stayed at a hotel.

The receptionist said that Atra Blanc had left with a gentleman.

Because Atra Blanc was beautiful and the gentleman was tall and handsome, the receptionist had a deep impression of both.

When Purple Summers arrived at the police station and heard this news, she was dumbfounded.

She couldn’t believe it.

“What you’re saying is, my mother didn’t disappear, she… she eloped with a man?” Purple Summers found this to be ridiculous!

The officer also felt awkward, “Ms. Simonson, I didn’t mean that… I only wanted to say that from the surveillance footage, Mrs. Blanc didn’t appear to be coerced, so… we’re afraid we can’t file a case.”

In the hotel’s surveillance video, a man was walking in front holding a suitcase, with Atra Blanc following behind, head bowed, her face not visible.

Purple Summers recognized that man, it was Clyde Summers!

She was both shocked and furious, taking deep breaths to calm herself, “My mom would never go with him! That’s simply impossible!”

Aria Jackson gently patted the officer’s shoulder, “You can go. I’ll talk to her.”

The officer, as if granted amnesty, hurriedly left the room.

Aria Jackson locked the door from inside and said to Purple Summers, “We can’t pursue this case.”

“Aria Jackson!” Purple Summers was on the verge of breaking down, “She must have been forced! She would never voluntarily go with Clyde Summers!”

Ordinary people seeing such a beautiful woman would likely doubt her faithfulness, but Purple Summers knew Atra Blanc too well! Atra Blanc’s love for Elder Master Summers ran deep to her bones! Even after so many years since Elder Master Summers passed away, Atra Blanc would still shed tears when she thought of him! She couldn’t possibly leave with another man!

“Purple, you need to calm down,” Aria Jackson tried to console her, “No matter what the truth is, once this case is filed, it will be as if the whole world is being told Atra Blanc ran off with her stepson in name. Think about her personality, how can she endure that?”

No one would believe her.

How could a woman of exquisite beauty be willing to remain faithful to a dead old man for over a decade?

When people talked about this matter, they would only find it thrilling and sensational!

As Purple Summers realized these points, her face grew even paler, her concern for Atra Blanc turning into confusion; she had been fixated on finding Clyde Summers and getting to the bottom of this, forgetting that Atra Blanc herself was a fragile and sensitive woman.

“I’ll go to Young Master Graves.” Purple Summers anxious, bit her fingernails, “I can’t let Clyde Summers go! I have to find them!”

Though Purple Summers had her own connections, she was new to the game and no match for the Graves Family’s network throughout Wheatley.

“We cannot investigate this openly, but if Young Master Graves can help, that would be best,” said Aria Jackson, her hand pressing on Purple Summers’s shoulder, “I will also ask colleagues to check the traffic monitoring, maybe we’ll find out which direction they went.”

Purple Summers nodded, her anxiety and indignation undiminished.

“Damn it!” she exclaimed, furiously striking the table, filled with self-reproach and frustration!

After she returned to Clearwater, her mind had been preoccupied with Alexander Summers and Damian Howard, completely ignoring Clyde Summers! She only knew he was Old Master Summers’s most beloved son, beyond that, she knew nothing about him!

What on earth was Clyde Summers going to do? Where had he taken Atra Blanc?!
