Ss added, "By then, you will no longer be a heartless bastard but a crying bastard.”


    Jasper felt his blood boiling in him. He bit his thin lip and held it in. "All of you may be Lyse''s


    brothers, but Lyse has a man. Besides, all of you are adults now. You should know how to respect


    boundaries.”


    Ss almost choked after hearing his words. He patted his chest and red at him. "If Axel heard


    what you said, he will make sure you pay with your life right here and now."


    "He won''t." Jasper perked his brow slightly. "He wouldn''t want his sister to turn into a widow."


    Ss was rendered speechless.


    Cyrus, absorbed in Sophia''s serious case, was extremely busy. Sophia wasn''t just involved in drugs;


    she had killed people. If he didn''t convict her and avenge the deceased, he couldn''t live with


    himself.


    After dinner, they went to the living hall to discuss some matters.


    Just then, Cyrus’ phone rang. It was a call from his colleague at the station. As he hung up, his face


    darkened gradually.


    "What''s the matter, Cyrus?" Alyssa asked with concern.


    Cyrus looked at Jasper with a conflicted look. "Mr. Beckett, your father hired the best attorney in


    Sna City for Sophia. He is now at the police station asking for a bail for Sophia.”


    "Shit! Does he think we''ll let him bail her just because he asked for it? Does he take the police


    station for his home kitchen?" Xavier seethed with anger.


    Xavier continued, "Some attorneys have no morals. They''d take any case thates their way. How


    is thew fair for everyone? From where I''m standing, he is a ve for money, a degenerate of


    society!"


    "The best attorney in Sna City?"


    Jasper and Alyssa exchanged knowing nces. "Is it Simon?"


    "Do both of you know him?" Cyrus asked, surprisedBelonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    "Please, we know him better than you think. We''re “old pals. Alyssa sneered.


    "Yes, he''s the seasonedckey of Beckett Group!"


    Simon was unscrupulous and conniving. He was not an easy man to handle.


    "We need to convict Sophia of her crimes as soon as possible. If it''s for drug use, the Beckett


    Group''s power and Simon''s legal prowess would likely bail her out.”


    Ss gazed at Jasper with seriousness. "Jasper, I''ve reviewed your mother''s case file. The incident is


    two decades old, so the statute of limitations has expired. If you''re considering suing Sophia for


    first-degree murder, the chances of winning are minimal.”


    Alyssa''s eyes narrowed slightly as she stared in shock at the side of Jasper''s face. She couldn''t


    believe that Jasper had asked Ss for help. He was truly doing everything in his power to avenge


    his mother.


    Moreover, Jeffrey was the one who executed Nina''s murder, while Sophia was the instigator and


    aplice. If Simon defended Sophia by shifting all the me onto Jeffrey, she would only face a


    decade in prison, not the death penalty.


    The air between them suddenly turned still. It was so tense that everyone could barely breathe.


    "Ss, we have a recording of Nina when she was alive. Can''t we convict Sophia of her crimes based


    on the conversation between her and Betty in the recording?”


    Ss shook his head helplessly. "That was recorded secretly. It can''t be used as evidence in court.”


    Alyssa''s body slumped into Jasper''s embrace. It had been a long time since she felt so furious and


    hopeless.


    Jasper scooped her into his arms, using his hand to steady her trembling back. He said calmly, "I


    understand. Even if I manage to find the aplice who assisted Sophia in my mother''s murder, I


    only have a witness. What if I have physical evidence?"
