Chapter 564: Chapter 564 Return of the Disadvantage_1


    “…George Carlson, he knows, doesn’t he?” Jade Carlson asked Evelyn Wird.


    “Those in power, they don’t casually let women outside their circle be pregnant with their children,” Evelyn Wird said. “When I was with him, he always took precautions.”


    Jade Carlson felt cold all over.


    So… George Carlson had been using her all along.


    Her father was not the mayor, but some meaningless man!


    Jade Carlson’s body shook even more fiercely. After all her efforts, what had she gained? Her life, was it all just a joke!


    Subconsciously wanting a smoke, the cigarette in her hand was taken away by Evelyn Wird.


    “You’d better stay away from this stuff,” Evelyn Wird snuffed out the cigarette.


    Jade Carlson watched the ash in the ashtray break into fine strands, her heart continuously sinking into an endless darkness.


    Perhaps this time, she really needed to burn her bridges…<div>


    …


    The next night, Purple Summers was sleeping soundly at home when she suddenly heard some uproar outside.


    The weather in April and May wasfortable, and the night breeze was cool. The windows in the room were open, and the sound from outside came in waves, clearly audible.


    However, by the time Purple Summers got up to see what was happening, the noise had subsided, as if it were just a minor interlude in the night, soon over.


    She found it strange, but now, in the dead of night, to ask for rity, she would have to change clothes and go out looking for someone.


    Purple Summers couldn’t be bothered to move and went back to bed to continue sleeping.


    Not until the next day did she hear from the servants that Nathaniel Summers’s fiancée hadest night.


    They said she arrived in a sorry state, with tattered clothes and several shes on her luggage.


    Nathaniel ordered a guest room to be arranged for Jade Carlson.


    The servants were buzzing with talk.


    “I heard she had nowhere to turn, got chased out of several hotels,” one said.


    “…Couldn’t rent a ce to stay, couldn’t stay in hotels, had to find those informal little motels. Then, she encountered a robbery in the middle of the night, nearly got raped…”


    “How pitiful…”


    “Pitiful? She had iting! She schemed against Mrs. Farrell’s child; this is her just desserts!”


    People always tendentially sympathize with the underdog, even knowing Jade Carlson’s past misdeeds. Now seeing her wretched situation, some still felt pity.


    Some servants alsomented that Mrs. Farrell’s methods were too cruel.


    Purple Summers found it strange. She knew Cami Farrell’s retaliation against Jade Carlson, but arranging a robbery and even attempted rape, such lowly tactics, didn’t seem like Cami Farrell’s style.


    Cami Farrell was forceful, and her methods of suppressing Jade Carlson tended to be hard-hitting.


    Moreover, how could it be such a coincidence that this happened right after the engagement news broke out… as if waiting for this opportunity to legitimize Jade Carlson’s stay in the Summers Residence.<div>


    Purple Summers was full of doubts. She wasn’t afraid of Jade, but having such a person in the house did make her feel less secure.


    However, after a few days of calm, Jade Carlson’s behavior surprised everyone.


    —It was as if Jade Carlson had seen the light,pletely reforming herself.


    Seeing an old servant cleaning the garden, she would eagerly join in to help;<div>


    Staying in the kitchen, the maid suffered from bad skin due to the fumes, so Jade Carlson gave her many skincare masks;


    The housekeeper had an old knee problem, and Jade Carlson specially obtained a recipe for medicinal wine from a traditional medicine practitioner…


    All of a sudden, the Summers Family, up and down, stopped gossiping about her; instead, they all felt she was quite nice.


    Purple Summers found it inconceivable.


    Jade Carlson suddenly turning good? …She didn’t believe it for a second.


    One day on her way to school, Purple Summers encountered Jade Carlson, who gave her a bottle of eye medicine.


    “Reading every day strains the eyes. This eye medicine can relieve fatigue; it’s very effective, just two drops a time.” Jade Carlson’s smile was sweet and harmless.
