"Jasper, it's alright if they don't understand you. I understand you." Alyssa exhaled. She placed her
warm hand on the back of Jasper's hand. "If I were you, I would also do all I can to fulfill my mother's
dying wish.
"At the same time, I understand how your mother felt. What she actually wanted was for you to have
the ability to protect yourself. That was why she hoped that you could become more powerful.
"There's nothing wrong with the path that you have chosen. As much as you may hate your father,
Grandpa Newton has always cared for you. You're indebted to him for raising you. For Grandpa's sake,
your perseverance and toil will not be completely meaningless."
"Lyse... Thank you." Jasper choked on his tears. His voice trembled slightly as he called her name.
"You don't have to thank me. I'm just someone who understands you," Alyssa replied as she smiled
sweetly at him.
"Jeffrey is now willing to testify against Sophia to say that she was involved in contract killings. With
drug possession and substance abuse to top that, she wouldn't be getting a short sentence."
Silas lowered his brows. "But I know that this is still far from what we want. What we want is for her to

"That will be a challenge."
Cyrus frowned and shook his head. The expression on his face was glum. "There is no incriminating
evidence to say that she instigated the murder. Plus, Ms. Nina's voice recording was taken without
consent. It cannot be presented as evidence in court.
"Regarding Jasper's mother's case, it's been over 20 years. Relying on a maid's testimony won't be
sufficient.
"Also, Simon is still Sophia's legal representative this time. We can't be sure what other dirty trick he
has up his sleeve to come against us!"
Sean's face turned pale. He took a deep breath and said, "This time, I will be appearing in court as
Nina's defense attorney."
A shocked look came across Silas' and Cyrus' faces. "You're going to court?"
Alyssa and Jasper, on the other hand, remained calm. They even glanced at Sean with a look of
confidence.
This was because Sean had already shared his plan with them a few days ago. He had also obtained
their support.
Sean had been working as a secretary with the Taylor family for many years. Many, including Simon,
might have already forgotten that he was an outstanding graduate from Solana City College of Law.
The law industry in Solana City wouldn't even have a place for Simon if Sean had intended to compete
with him in the industry.
"This trial will also be a crucial fight between Simon and I."
Sean's eyes were bright and filled with determination. "I know what Simon abhors the most. He hates
the feeling of being crushed in defeat, even more so when he loses to me. That would upset him to
death."
Alyssa nodded with a serious look on her face.
A single phone call would be enough to make countless top-notch attorneys flock toward them to aid
the Beckett Group and KS Group.

However, they had to consider who would bring about the most destruction to Simon. In that case,
Sean would be their most powerful weapon!
"Sorry to have to trouble you, Sean," Silas sighed softly. He was moved.
"Mr. Silas, Mr. Beckett and I have an unusual similarity. He no longer has a father, whereas I no longer
have an elder brother."
Sean poured a drink for himself. He raised his glass toward Jasper and said, "We're in such a similar
situation, Mr. Beckett. Bottoms up, shall we?"
Jasper felt a gush of warmth in his heart. He got up and lifted his glass. "Thank you for always keeping
an eye on Lyse, Sean. I'm really grateful that you're willing to help us out.
"May our wishes come true."
"I'm sure they will." Tears filled Sean's eyes as he nodded enthusiastically.
Alyssa, too, got to her feet. She put her arm around Jasper's waist. She lifted her glass and urged,
"Come on! Bottoms up, everyone!"
The six of them raised their glasses. They were filled with hope that they'd be victorious.
"We can do this!"
