Purple Summers left the rest area and went to see the judge in charge of the case, requesting to withdraw from the proceedings.
The reason was that the defendant had irreconcilable differences with her and took the opportunity to undermine her reputation.
Though the judge wasn't interested in the gossip about the Simonson family, for the sake of ensuring a fair and serious trial, Purple Summers was indeed no longer suitable to continue defending Violet Nelson, so the judge granted her request.
After leaving the judge's office, Purple Summers visited the hospital to see the old lady, and Alexander Summers came to pick her up and went with her.
Although their relationship with the old lady wasn't good, she was taken to the hospital right in front of Purple Summers, so it seemed rather heartless not to visit.
On the way, Purple Summers asked Alexander how he had handled things.
Alexander casually said, "As long as it's done."
