Chapter 586: n_1


    Evelyn Wird intended to dy time by providing information that was neither critical nor trivial, which even without Jade Carlson, Nathaniel Summers could have found out on his own.


    Nathaniel Summers said indifferently, “Ask more about the buyer’s situation.”


    He then let Evelyn Wird leave.


    Before leaving, Evelyn Wird’s nce swept over the cigarette box on the desk, noticing the few cigarettes remaining inside, feeling smug, and left the study with a smile.


    Evelyn Wird and Jade Carlson went out shopping together, buying clothes and jewelry, and Jade Carlson took out a lot of cash from her credit card for Evelyn Wird to spend.


    Perhaps because they had amon goal, the rtionship between mother and daughter had eased a lot recently, and they were both in good spirits.


    They bought many luxury items and dressed up like socialites and wealthy women, before heading to Clearwater City’s most upscale Western restaurant to dine.


    After the meal, they went to the beauty salon for skin care treatments, indulging in enjoyment and entertaining themselves until evening.


    Evelyn Wird asked the two beauticians to leave, locked the door, and in the exquisitely decorated room, only she and her daughter remained.


    Evelyn Wird took out a small bottle of powdery substance and a set of syringe tools from her bag.<div>


    “Take them out,” she said.


    Jade Carlson also rummaged through her own bag and took out a pack of cigarettes.


    —These were the cigarettes Nathaniel Summers kept at home, the outer packaging already opened. Lined up neatly before them were 20 cigarettes from a box.


    Evelyn Wird first injected a bit of water into the bottle, mixed it evenly, drew it into the syringe, and then injected it into each cigarette’s tobo.


    She injected a little into each one; the entire solution was just enough for the 20 cigarettes.


    The cigarettes became a bit moist, but the beauty salon had a hairdryer, and a few minutes of hot air made them dry again.


    Once dried, some parts of the cigarettes had tiny wrinkles, but unless scrutinized closely, they looked the same as before.


    This was the method they had been using for some time now to tamper with Nathaniel Summers’s cigarettes.


    Nathaniel Summers rarely smoked originally, but he had be more mncholic and reticent recently, and his addiction to cigarettes had grown, with a cigarette always at hand.


    Evelyn Wird had experienced this substance, knew its allure, and also understood its cruelty—it had shattered countless families, while Evelyn Wird hoped it would make Nathaniel Summerspletely obedient to her and her daughter.


    She had never expected Nathaniel Summers would truly marry Jade Carlson.


    All along, it was she who had been keeping Nathaniel Summers on the hook, just as he was stringing Jade Carlson along. Only asionally did Jade Carlson naively believe that her own charm could truly captivate Nathaniel Summers.


    What were men anyway? Was she not aware? Evelyn Wird had met too many men; she was thoroughly experienced with their kind.


    “The purity is higher this time. If he feels unwell, coax him to drink a few sses of alcohol,” Evelyn Wird instructed as she packed the cigarettes back one by one and resealed them.


    Afterpleting the task, she looked up to see Jade Carlson spacing out.


    “Jade?” Evelyn Wird furrowed her brows.


    “Huh?” Jade Carlson snapped back to reality, came to her senses, and lowered her head to put the pack of cigarettes back into her bag.


    “You haven’t started smoking them too, have you?” Evelyn Wird’s gaze suddenly became sharp, “I’ve told you to stay away from this stuff.”


    “…I know, I have it under control,” Jade Carlson replied nomittally.<div>


    The n of Jade Carlson and Evelyn Wird was progressing silently; perhaps because they did not provoke Purple Summers this time, everything went very smoothly.


    Purple Summers also had her own n in motion.


    After school, she went to the home of the governor’s secretary to visit Mrs. Farrell.


    Because they had arranged it over the phone earlier, Cami Farrell had been waiting at home already, and she had also invited her good friend, the president of the Women’s Rights Protection Federation.<div>


    “The federation is willing to assist every woman in need; as long as the situation is true, we will intervene,” Cami Farrell told Purple Summers. “Women’s rights are human rights; even if the other party is a Justice, they cannot deprive women of their basic rights in marriage.”
