"Sean? Why would he?" Alyssa's mind went blank. Had Jasper not held her right in time, she would
have lost her balance.
"Is this true? Has Sean Lynch admitted to all the charges?" Gabe's eyes lit up. He repeatedly checked
the document for confirmation.
"It's true, Chief. It's in black and white. Sean Lynch has admitted to assaulting David Schmidt, and he's
willing to receive the punishment."
The turn of events was a welcomed change for the Schmidts. Despite sending in different policemen
across shifts to continuously interrogate Sean, Sean did not budge at all. He'd rather be imprisoned
indefinitely than admit to his guilt.
But why the change of mind? What exactly happened?
"Lyse, how are you feeling?" Jasper was concerned by Alyssa's pale face. He hugged her tight on her
waist and sensed her body stiffening. He felt sorry for her.
"Sean did not do anything wrong. Why did he admit to his guilt?" Alyssa's eyes filled with hatred. She

to prison?"
"Right. How could he?" Simon squinted with a knowing smile. "I'm sure he was aware of the
consequences as a former top student in law school. Ms. Alyssa, what's the point of poking your nose
into his case?"
Feeling a stabbing pain in her heart, she suddenly connected the dots.
An hour ago, Gabe gave Simon special permission to visit Sean discreetly. There wasn't an ounce of
affection between the siblings when they met, only tension and hatred.
"Tsk tsk. Look at you, Sean. What have you done to yourself?" Scrutinizing Sean, Simon shook his
head and clicked his tongue. "If Dad and Mom know you're going to prison for Tatiana Taylor, they'll
pass out from crying. You've given them so much trouble."
"Didn't your owner put you on a leash today? It's annoying, you barking in front of me." Sean closed his
eyes, unwilling to look at his brother.
Simon merely scoffed. He did not seem provoked, merely saying, "We're brothers. Let's play nice."
"Don't call yourself my brother. It disgusts me."
"Haha! Fine. Let's talk about something that might be of interest to you." Simon slowly slid his phone to
Sean. A video was playing. "Take a look at this."
Frowning, Sean turned to the video. Dumbstruck by what he witnessed, he rose and punched the table,
yelping, "Simon Lynch, what are you planning to do?"
The video was a recording of Alyssa and Jasper breaking into the hotel room at the Jesseltons' event.
What happened later was history.
Soon, the scene showed Jonah beating up David, who had already been badly roughed up then. The
video clearly recorded Jonah dragging David away.
Oddly, Sean's presence was nowhere to be seen, even though he was at the scene that night.
"Ms. Alyssa and Mr. Beckett were meticulous. After beating up David, they wiped the footage of their
crime from the hotel surveillance camera, but they slipped up this time. They forgot that deleted footage
is recoverable within a week with the help of experts."

An evil grin played on Simon's lips. He added with a sigh, "To recover the footage, I went to Mosgravia
and spent hundreds of thousands to hire the best hacker. Thankfully, it all paid off."
"Simon, you're falsifying evidence! Aren't you scared of losing your license and being investigated by
the Department of Justice?" Sean growled at his brother, his face turning white. His veins bulged.
"Falsification of evidence? Where?" Simon opened his arms and smiled cunningly. "My dear brother,
you were at the scene that night. You knew who roughed up David Schmidt. It's obvious from the video
that Alyssa and Jasper acted out, and Jonah helped them to clean up the mess. When did you even
beat David? At least I didn't see it."
Sean felt a piercing pain in his chest. He bellowed, "Just come at me! Do not do anything to Ms.
Alyssa!"
"Oh, I need to tell you this as well." Simon's fingers intertwined. Leaning forward, he stared coldly at
Sean, "Ms. Alyssa is on her way to save you. If my guess is correct, she'd turn herself in and take all
the blame to secure your release."
"Ms. Alyssa... No..." Sean repeatedly shook his head as he grappled with the heartache.
"Either you or the Taylors would have to take the responsibility. The video evidence and David's injuries
won't lie. Sean, you're close to Ms. Alyssa. You wouldn't want her involved, would you?"
