"Lyse, amidst the evidence Tristan provided, there''s this particr 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 surveince recording on hisptop. 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.


    Alyssa wasparably calm. She even teased, "That witch is pretty good at keeping her figure."


    "Dr. McAlister has made a great sacrifice here," Cyrusmented.


    Then, Alyssa shut theptop 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 be 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 red at Simon warily.


    Simon held his breath when he sensed a piercing gaze on him. Still, he maintained hisposure and


    jeered, "Ms. Alyssa, you''re very well-connected."


    "Don''t tter 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 que 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 aughingstock when the trial


    begins."


    Standing behind Alyssa and Jasper, Cyrus silently chuckled, amazed by the couple''s resemnce, not


    only in appearance but also in the way theyughed 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 shed 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."
