Fortunate to Have You This Lifetime

Chapter 385: Press the Handprint (Make up for last week’s 50,000 recommended tickets)

Purple Summers returned to her room.

The two girls who were getting up heard the door opening and simultaneously poked their heads out of their bed.

“Why were you outside for so long?”

“What did Ryan Wesley say? Is he urging us to get up?”

“We have a train this afternoon, so we can play some more in the morning.

Where should we go for a stroll later?”

“There’s a haunted house we haven’t visited yet, but that attraction only opens at night…”

Jane McCain and Zara Jameson chatted away, but Purple seemed not to hear them. She quietly sat on the bed for a while, then suddenly picked up her phone and made a call—

“Hello, I have a express delivery, the tracking number is… right, I filled in the wrong address, can I still get it back?… What? It’s already been signed for?” Purple’s express delivery that she sent yesterday was signed for by Aria Jackson early this morning, as she chose the fastest courier company for efficiency.

Purple frowned and called Aria Jackson again.

However, she found out that the package had been taken away by Allen Rivera.

“How did he get it?” Purple thought to herself that it was all over. That guy was so upright and meticulous that once it was in his hands, there was no way to get it back!

Aria explained, “The victim’s family was causing a lot of trouble, and they had some connections in the news circle, so the Prosecutor’s Office transferred the case to Prosecutor Allen Rivera for a new investigation. Why, is there a problem with the express package?”

Purple covered her forehead with her hand, feeling powerless. “It’s a long story. I’ll tell you when I get back.”

As soon as Purple hung up the phone, she didn’t bother to greet Jane and Zara, rushed into the bathroom to wash and change, and quickly went out.

She went to the sorceress’s residence.

Unlike yesterday, today the sorceress did not open the door, and the gate was tightly closed.

Purple walked up and knocked on the door. After a while, the door opened and the sorceress stood behind it, holding a black raven in her arms.

To Purple’s surprise, she blurted out, “Why is Tiny with you?!”

Tiny flapped its wings a few times, flew over, and landed on Purple’s shoulder, rubbing its face affectionately against hers. Purple smelled the familiar scent of incense.

The sorceress stepped aside to let Purple in, her elderly voice hoarse: “Ravens are Yin, and they like the smell of the dead around me.”

Then she turned her head and looked deeply at Purple, “You have that same smell, although it’s much lighter now… well, it’s too faint, you can’t smell it unless you pay close attention. I’m old, and my nose isn’t working as well anymore, otherwise, when I first met you, I should have been more careful…” Purple frowned, raised her arm, and sniffed herself, not detecting any scent. But after hearing the sorceress’s words, she still felt uneasy.

The sorceress led her into the house, her tone vicissitudes of life: “What a pity… a raven only recognizes one owner in its life, otherwise, no matter how high the price, I would buy it from you. Such a pity…”

Purple asked her, “Old lady, you have money to buy a bird but not to hire a lawyer?”

The sorceress looked at her strangely, “You really don’t know?”

Purple was puzzled, “Know what?”

“I guess I was talking too much,” the sorceress said with a smile, inviting her to sit down and then turned to pour tea for Purple.

Purple was not in the mood for tea. She was in a hurry and pulled out a pen and paper. In front of the sorceress, she quickly wrote a concise letter of authorization and asked the sorceress to sign it.

“This is an agency contract. After you sign it, Prominence Law Firm will be responsible for your case. To be on the safe side, let’s deal with it this way for now. If you think it’s not formal enough, I’ll have someone from the law firm give you a more comprehensive contract later.”

The sorceress shook her head, “I never went to school and can’t write.”

Purple:

You were pretty capable of drawing symbols!

“Then just put your fingerprint on it.” Purple was annoyed and pointed to the bottom right corner of the contract.
