"Lyse, amidst the evidence Tristan provided, there's this particular piece. He insists it be presented in
court, but I'm hesitant. Sophia will be charged with or without this evidence anyway, but Javier will
abandon her if he learns about it," Cyrus revealed.
He then showed them a surveillance recording on his laptop. Although the recording was muted, the
scene itself was shocking. Jasper, taking a deep breath, felt the instinct to shield Alyssa's eyes, even
though they were all adults.
It turned out to be a recording of Tristan and Sophia making love. Closing her eyes in enjoyment, she
rode him naked.
Having been a cop for years, Cyrus remained unfazed by the evidence. He had witnessed more
disturbing scenes, such as spilled brains and bags of dismembered human remains.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlyssa was comparably calm. She even teased, "That witch is pretty good at keeping her figure."
"Dr. McAlister has made a great sacrifice here," Cyrus lamented.
Then, Alyssa shut the laptop and insisted, "Let's treat the recording as if it doesn't exist. This evidence
should never be leaked."
Jasper and Cyrus immediately grasped that Alyssa was safeguarding what remained of Tristan's
dignity, even if Tristan had willingly become a pawn for her sake.
In this chess game, Tristan had never regarded himself as a human being with needs. As long as
Alyssa required his assistance, he would go to any length to help.
"I would be disappointed in myself if I callously sacrifice a person's dignity just for revenge. I cannot be
blinded by hate," Alyssa said through gritted teeth, still grappling with the heartache.
"Lyse ..."
Standing behind her, Jasper and Cyrus stared at her disheartened figure, both speechless.
Cyrus escorted Jasper and Alyssa out of the police station. On their way out, they ran into an
ashenfaced Simon Lynch. Jasper reflexively gripped Alyssa's hand and glared at Simon warily.
Simon held his breath when he sensed a piercing gaze on him. Still, he maintained his composure and
jeered, "Ms. Alyssa, you're very well-connected."
"Don't flatter me," she retorted with a haughty and unpleasant smile. "Mr. Lynch, it's a pity your efforts
have gone to waste.
"I heard you prided yourself on a 100 percent win rate in your career spanning a decade. You even
have a plaque by the entrance of your office to show it off, don't you?" Jasper joined in taunting Simon.
"I suggest you take it down tomorrow morning unless you want to be a laughingstock when the trial
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbegins."
Standing behind Alyssa and Jasper, Cyrus silently chuckled, amazed by the couple's resemblance, not
only in appearance but also in the way they laughed at others. Perhaps they had grown to take after
each other's demeanor from the time they had spent with each other.
Meanwhile, Simon clenched his jaw. Sophia's case wasn't high-profile; it was only a drug offense.
However, losing the case would deliver a huge blow to Simon's reputation in the field and tarnish
Javier's impression of him.
Simon, who had never lost a case, despised the feeling of defeat. Fuming with indignation, he gritted
his teeth and flashed a malicious grin. "Ms. Alyssa, I underestimated you. I thought you were a tough
woman backed by the Taylor family. As it turns out, you're just a seductress who has charmed many
men into sacrificing themselves for you."
