Chapter 791
Cyrus’ gaze darkened as he added in a cold, harsh tone, “So the claim you made earlier about hating
Lyla
out of love for her is completely baseless.”
Ronald clenched his jaw, sneering, “Even if you find out, so what? I am indeed Sophia’s fan. I love her
madly. I can do anything for her, including killing Lyla!”
Furious, Cyrus’s shoulders shook, and he yearned to crush Ronald’s despicable head.
“But when it comes to my relationship with Sophia… Well, there isn’t any. She has no ties to me. It’s all
just my one-sided wish. I’m ready to do anything for her, even if it involves dying or killing. And she
doesn’t have to be aware of any of it.”
Ronald’s audacious words stemmed from his confidence that being charged with intentional harm, the
worst-case scenario would be attempted murder.
Jasper and Lyla were unharmed, and even if the Taylor family wanted to go after him, there wasn’t
much
they could do.

Cyrus knew Ronald’s schemes well. His chest burned with intense anger, his eyes turning fiery red.
After a moment, he dismissed his subordinates and rose from his seat, turning off the recording.
equipment.
“Ronald, it’s just between us now. Let’s be frank.”
Cyrus walked casually inside the interrogation room. With his hands in his pockets, he sat on the table.
with a sarcastic look at Ronald.
“You willingly play the executioner for Sophia, sacrificing yourself for her, even willing to kill for her.
That’s
your choice. But if news of your extraordinary relationship with Sophia gets out, what would the medial
think? What would Mr. Javier think when he hears it?”
He continued, “Everyone will believe Sophia sent you to attack Lyla. And Javier would suspect there’s
something between you and Sophia. If that happens, you’ll end up in prison, but your old sweetheart…
How would she cope with that? Her reputation is already in shambles, but this will be the final blow.”
The first step to murder was to first destroy the soul.
That was what his younger sister, Alyssa, once told him.

Ronald was tense. His eyes were burning red from exhaustion. He stared at Cyrus while his handcuffs
clinked.
“You’re a cop! Revealing case information to the media… That’s against the rules! I’ll report you!”
“Handling someone as vile and uncooperative as you sometimes calls for unconventional methods.
Can you cooperate without them?”
Cyrus fearlessly raised his chin.
“Ronald, you’ve stirred up trouble with the whole Taylor family this time. You dare to harm Lyla Nelson.
I’ll go to great lengths to make sure you and Sophia both suffer in hell!”
Panicking, Sophia looked around with a scattered gaze and stuttered, “That guy… He stole it! While I
was filming, I left the necklace in the dressing room. When I came back, it was gone. He must have
stolen it!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Is that so? Stolen and yet not sold. Instead, meticulously preserved until now?” Alyssa heard Sophia’s
flawed story and couldn’t help but chuckle.
“He’s up to something. How would I know what he’s up to?” Aware that she might not outtalk the sharp-
tongued Alyssa, Sophia chose to play the fool to the end.
Without concrete evidence, what could Alyssa do to her?
“To be honest, I had someone investigate TS Network. I found people who worked with Ronald back
then. They all said that both of you were very close at the time. He never took money from you.
“He willingly played the role of your lackey, ensuring your safety and assisting you in every way. How
could a man so infatuated with you, acting like a devoted fan, possibly steal from you?
“Even if he did steal it, it must have been out of admiration for you, Mrs. Beckett.”
Alyssa squinted, showing a mocking smile that gave Sophia chills.
Alyssa added, “He’s willing to do anything for you-including premeditated murder.”
“Alyssa! Shut up!” Sophia was drenched in cold sweat, her voice breaking.
The gazes of those around her gradually became skeptical and complex.
