Chapter 1027: Chapter 1027: Starting to Whitewash_1 Chapter 1027: Chapter 1027: Starting to Whitewash_1 Purple Summers looked at the tumultuous waves on the internet with utter confusion.

Was this the person’s purpose?

To expel her from the Judicial Training Institute?

If simply assembling a group of people online to create a petition could force the Judicial Training Institute to expel a student, that would be far too childish.

The purpose of the Judicial Training Institute is to cultivate excellent judicial talents for the nation, and it would never punish any student without proper trial. Otherwise, it would be no different than regressing two thousand years–
Back to a time without laws or order, where it only took one person shouting slogans to stoke the flames of anger, leading emotion-driven crowds to pick up stones and stone the so-called criminals to death.

Purple felt that the play was far from over.

As evening approached, the sky darkened and rainclouds gathered, bringing a light autumn rain.

With the rain came the chill, Purple’s hands and feet were icy, so she curled up in her blanket, quietly watching the raindrops on the glass window slowly gather into streams, tracing crooked watermarks as they slid down.

She faintly heard the sound of a car engine.

Purple was slightly startled, curled up in the blanket and waited for a while, and surely enough, the door opened.

Alexander Summers walked in, their gazes met, and he smirked, “Knew I was coming back and waited on the bed early?”

Purple shrank back into the blanket, “It’s so cold today.”

Alexander took off his clothes and lay down on the bed, pulling her into his arms. Touching her cheek, he found it a bit cold, as were her hands.

“Kingsley has already cooled down, while people in Pearlpoint City are still wearing short sleeves.” Alexander held Purple’s hands in his own and asked, “Is it warmer now?”

Purple giggled, her little toes pressing on Alexander’s calf, “Warm, warm.”

The two of them snuggled under the blanket immobile, and after a while, Alexander broached the topic of the internet.

“Should we have the person arrested?” he asked.

Alexander had found out who the person behind the scenes was, and it matched Purple’s suspicion.

“No need,” Purple gently shook her head, “It’s uncalled for, catching her wouldn’t help.”

Although the internet has been around for a long time, internet-related laws are still not perfected, and even if Purple wanted to sue for defamation, it would be futile since the other party didn’t do anything directly. It was just a group of misinformed netizens being led to continuously post, escalating the situation.

Besides, that edited video was indeed real and didn’t constitute forgery.

As for those news about Alexander, they had already been on the internet. All the other party did was collect and organize to make Alexander’s misdeeds appear even more egregious.

Purple sighed softly, “So much trouble, I really don’t understand what she’s trying to achieve.”

“Maybe she just wanted to disgust you,” Alexander suggested.

So much effort and deliberately distancing oneself, just to disgust Purple Summers?

Purple was skeptical, but she also knew that Alexander was trying to comfort her so she wouldn’t be affected by this incident.

“Or else, shall I teach her a lesson for you?” Alexander offered, “To make you feel better.”

Purple snuggled against Alexander’s chest and said, “No need, I want to wait and see…I always feel like she’s going to do something more.”

Alexander kissed her hair and said no more.

…

The next day, a well-known writer on Twitter posted, claiming that the recent online outrage regarding Purple Summers Simonson, a 19-year-old girl, was worrying. It was an absence of public knowledge and suspected to be a premeditated smear campaign.

This tweet immediately received many retweets from popular verified accounts, including famous artists, idol stars, scholars, journalists, and more.

The “clearing of Purple’s name” began subtly but surely.
