Chapter 1477

    Sean had kept his silence during Simon''s animated cross-examination, which made him appear like he


    was at a disadvantage.


    Seated in the public gallery, Tatiana felt her heart leaping into her throat. Her eyes were sore from


    focusing on Sean throughout the proceeding.


    Worried about Sean, she hated that she couldn''t be of help to him. All she could do was to silently


    cheer him on.


    "We''ll pass the floor to the intiff''s defense," Steven announced and gave Sean a look of affirmation.


    The Lynch brothers rarely interacted with each other as adults. They were not as close as other


    siblings, and on top of that, they were active in different professional fields. Still, Steven and Sean were


    at least upright, never once acting against their principlespared to the corrupted Simon.


    Meanwhile, Simon had always looked down on Sean and repeatedly described Steven as a strait-


    laced, puritanical goody-two-shoes. Simon perceived himself as the pir of the family, staunchly


    believing that he, the eldest son who had carried his mom''s expectations, was the only source of pride


    for the family after Spencer Lynch''s retirement.


    Little did Simon know that he would pay a steep price for what he was after. In the near future, he


    would pay a dear price for hisck of morals.


    Sean brandished a document with a twinkle in his eyes. "It is public knowledge that the defendant


    Sophia Kirkman is not as innocent as her attorney has imed. Even before this arrest, she had been


    summoned by the prosecution multiple times."


    Sean took a jab at Simon''s bluff by describing the fact as public knowledge.


    "She wasn''t arrested solely on suspicion of contract killing. She has also been charged with drug use in


    public and possession of drugs, among many other offenses."


    The screen in the courtroom disyed the humiliating video of Sophia getting high after taking drugs at


    the horseracing event. The indecent scene of Sophia touching herself had been pixted, but the


    judges and the audience were disturbed by her moans.


    Simon sent a re in Sean''s direction after he figured out Sean''s strategy.


    "Turn it off! Turn it off now! Stop it," Sophia yelled as she blushed in shame.


    She finally felt shame at this moment. Sean had submitted the video as evidence to humiliate Sophia in


    court.


    Alyssa stared coldly at the screen with a smirk. "It''ll be intriguing if they y this video at Sophia''s


    funeral. Wouldn''t it be an exciting closure to her evil and sinful life?"


    "A funeral?" Jasper sped her hand with a snicker. "After this trial, Javier will never ord her a


    respectable funeral. I bet he wouldn''t even make arrangements for a service."


    Betty had sneaked to the restroom to escape from the embarrassment, leaving behind Javier, who shut


    his eyes in resentment. He would have left the public gallery without looking back if it were not for his


    status and rtionship with Sophia. His departure would destroy the morale of those he had hired to fill


    up the seats, which would be much more humiliating for the Becketts.


    Sean argued with an impassive look, "Don''t you think a drug addict who sumbs to her addiction


    regardless of time and ce will be more emotionally vtile than Jeffrey Snyder?


    "I have witnessed drug addicts who were off their heads—they would do anything just to fuel their


    addiction, even losing control of their speech and behavior. Hence, it is highly likely that Sophia


    Kirkman would think of murdering Nina Carle."


    Sophia glowered at Sean, her face turning red in anger.


    "Objection, Your Honor! The intiff''s defense argument is purely hearsay and irrelevant to the case!"


    Simon jumped up from his seat, his hand shooting into the air.


    After a pause, Steven turned to Sean. "The intiff''s defense, please raise questions pertinent to the


    case."? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.
