Fortunate to Have You This Lifetime

Chapter 372: Young Master Graves’ Thoughts

Marcel Jefferson told Purple Summers that Aria Jackson was undergoing a procedural inquiry for unauthorized investigation and might be punished after being reported.

It’s an exaggeration to say she has been “arrested,” but Aria is indeed restricted in her movements and can’t leave Clearwater City in the short term.

But how could Aria have been reported?

Although an officer cannot investigate at will without permission from a prosecutor, in practice, if a police officer discovers anything suspicious, they are not required to report everything to the prosecutor. To be more efficient, the prosecutor usually turns a blind eye to minor violations of procedure during an in-depth investigation.

Marcel expressed his frustration: “The prosecutor in charge of the Peachwater Village case is too unforgiving! He insists it was an accidental food poisoning and thinks my cousin’s private investigation was deliberately going against him! The prosecutor is about to retire; he’s afraid of making a mistake right before retirement and losing face!”

Purple thought for a moment and then said to Zara Jameson and Jane McCain beside her, “You guys find a coffee shop and wait for me; I’ll go to the police station with Marcel and be back soon.”

Jane replied, “No, let’s go too. Maybe we can help.”

Purple hesitated but concluded it was not appropriate to leave them there.”

“Alright, let’s go together.”

The three girls followed Marcel to the police station by car.

As soon as Jane got in the car, she called her mother and bluntly asked, “Mom, do you know anyone at the police station? A friend of my classmate is having some trouble.”

Mrs. McCain was taken aback, fearing her daughter might have befriended some delinquents, and hurriedly asked, “Which classmate is it?”

After Jane explained the situation, her mother breathed a sigh of relief, “Oh, that’s what it is… Tell Purple not to worry, I’ll help you inquire about it later.”

After hanging up, Gavin Graves, who was reviewing some design drafts, looked up and asked her, “Is anything wrong with Purple Summers?”

Mrs. McCain and Graves Group had a cooperative relationship; she designed gowns for the artists under Graves Corporation. The design drafts she was preparing were mainly for the annual Star Gala held by Graves Group, a significant event for the corporation, which was why Young Master Graves personally reviewed them.

Noticing Gavin’s tone, Mrs. McCain didn’t hide anything and explained the situation in detail.

“… Actually, Officer Jackson is quite famous for solving many major cases in Clearwater. It’s a shame she stumbled in this case,” Mrs. McCain sighed.

Gavin pondered for a moment, then made a phone call, telling the person on the other end, “Please go to the police station in person and assist Ms.

Summers with a matter…”

Mrs. McCain was dumbfounded to see Gavin taking care of Purple’s concerns in just a few words.

She was shocked, wondering what sort of background Purple had to gain the favor of two families simultaneously!

After ending the call, Gavin noticed the astonished look on her face and laughed, “Mrs. Spencer, I hope you don’t mind me being nosy?”

Mrs. McCain’s name was Ruby Spencer; Gavin referred to her as Mrs. Spencer.

She quickly shook her head, smiling and saying, “Not at all! Your one sentence is worth a hundred of mine. With your help, I don’t have to waste my breath. I’ll have Janie come and thank you another day.”

“Janie has a lot of talent. Many people from the fashion industry will be at the Gala; why not bring her along? It would be a good opportunity for her to learn and have fun.” Gavin paused and then continued, “Bring a few more classmates, so the young lady won’t feel uncomfortable.”

Mrs. McCain grasped Gavin’s hints and took them to heart.

Young Master Graves wanted to invite Purple Summers using Jane’s name.

She was even more astonished – did Young Master Graves really need to be so cautious when pursuing a woman?
