Chapter 837: Chapter 837 This is Very Good_1

Violet Nelson brought back news that was undoubtedly exhilarating.

Everyone was in very high spirits.

Of course, if Rieste didn’t take Edward Carter’s case, the Presidential Palace could have settled it themselves, probably by placing all the blame on Edward Carter—the person who committed the killing, and the one who handled the body, had nothing to do with Christopher Simonson.

That would have been the safest course of action, though it would inevitably be affected by public opinion for a while.

But now it was different.

Violet Nelson’s persuasion of Rieste to overturn Edward Carter’s case could not only eliminate the negative impact completely but also required no sacrifices from these politicians.

There was no need to frantically deal with the media’s challenges, nor to exert effort in negotiating with various parties; all they had to do was add a name to the household register.

Skilled at weighing pros and cons weren’t only businessmen but also politicians.

A small change could lead to huge gains, and the officials at the Presidential Office were happy to see this happen.

Their interests were tied to the Simonson Family, but they didn’t care how many daughters the Presidential Palace adopted; the only people who cared about this matter were probably the parties involved, as well as Mr. and Mrs. Simonson.

“I can hardly believe it… how did it come to this?” Christopher Simonson lay back on the bed, sighing heavily, “I acknowledged Purple Summers because I wanted to make amends. I planned to host the grandest banquet, to dress her up like a princess, to let everyone know she was my prized gem, but what has it turned into now?”

His face was thin and pale, his eyes filled with indescribable irritation: “Now it has turned into a transaction of interests, a humiliation for Purple Summers! The more grand and luxurious the banquet, the greater the insult to her!”

Caitlin Carter stayed silent by his side, blowing on the water in the cup until it was slightly cool, then brought it with the medicine to Christopher Simonson.

Christopher Simonson had recently been discharged from the hospital and wasn’t as strong as a normal person; he would be accompanied by medication for at least half a year.

“Violet has grown up before our eyes. Aside from not having social status, she’s really no different from our own daughters; now it’s just a matter of completing her name on the household register…” Caitlin Carter murmured.

Christopher Simonson, in the midst of taking his medicine, looked up at her: “Do you also agree with this?”

“Whether I agree or not, what does it matter?” Caitlin Carter’s expression was dull, her eyes reflecting a helpless melancholy, “Since long ago, your mother has always wanted us to acknowledge Violet as our daughter. Now that we have a ready-made reason and your father’s support, do you think you can refuse?”

Upon hearing this, Christopher Simonson fell silent.

Indeed, that was the case.

Since Christopher Simonson had no children of his own, the old lady had always wanted the couple to recognize Violet Nelson as their daughter, as she had been raised in the Presidential Palace and adding a name to the household register was no trouble.

However, Christopher Simonson was unwilling, and Old Master Simonson also felt it was inappropriate; thus, the matter had been delayed until now.

Now the old lady was determined not to rest until she achieved her goal. She wanted to replace Purple Summers, which Christopher Simonson resolutely refused to do.

Old Master Simonson, in consideration of both his son’s and his wife’s feelings, came up with a compromise: to have Christopher Simonson acknowledge both Purple Summers and Violet Nelson as his daughters.

In this way, they wouldn’t have to replace Purple Summers and could also satisfy the old lady’s request.

Whether judging from the situation or out of filial piety, Christopher Simonson should accept such a compromise.

But Christopher Simonson had a hard time acquiescing. He found Purple Summers and told her that he had made such a decision only to compensate for the emptiness of the elders in their later years. Violet being sent to the Simonson Family had indeed brought joy to Old Master Simonson and the old lady, and that was an undeniable fact.

However, regardless of the official stance, in his heart, he would only consider Purple Summers as his daughter.

Purple Summers was silent for a long time before speaking softly, “You really don’t have to do this, Mr. Simonson. Really…I think it’s fine the way it is.”
