The gory and bloody scenes from Anne's death haunted Sophia. Suddenly, Sophia's scream pierced the air. Drenched in sweat, she quivered with pale lips.
"Mrs. Beckett, are you alright?" Sensing something was amiss, Simon inquired in shock.
"I-I'm fine." She curled her fists under the table and forced herself to stop thinking about Anne.
"Mrs. Beckett, you have not answered my question." Simon repeated, "You need to be frank with me on whether or not you're involved in other murders. This is crucial for me to defend you in court.
"You know very well that Alyssa and Jasper will take advantage of the death of a maid to attack you until you're done for. They will try their best to look into your past and submit unfavorable evidence against you in court. All these are plausible."
Sophia couldn't stop trembling. She bit her lip hard.
"I am asking you the question for no other reason than to increase our chance at winning. You need to be honest with me. Give me your full trust and cooperation. I need to know everything about you so that I can stand undefeated in court."
She cackled in an eerie manner. "Mr. Lynch, are you trying to help me, or are you trying to protect your professional record?"
Simon hated it when people questioned his motive, but he had to coax Sophia because of her status. "Getting you out is more important than upholding my reputation."
"Enough. I do not trust any one of you attorneys!" Feeling anxious, Sophia shook her legs like she was in a seizure. "If I tell you, you'll use it against me one day. I've seen this shameless behavior many times in my life. Don't you ever dream of fooling me!"

The readers' comments on the novel: Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
I am trying to figure out why an author writes one page and it is suppose to be a chapter and then the author gets the audience hooked on the story and just drags it on. Follow the rules please, and at least give the 7 chapters daily. Two chapters every other day is a waste of time. Or just release the book and give us the option to buy it....
Ughhh…can we get more pleeeease! I’m so into this book and literally check daily for updates but it’s only two pages at most. Can you at least do 4 pages a night 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽...
More chapters please the 7 chapters/day would be nice, TY...
Where can i download the remaining chapters?...
Why are we literally only getting one chapter a day?!? I mean can we at least get 4 or something? Irritating🙄...
Hello, more chapters please. It has been over 1 week since we have received 7 chapters. Thank you...
Just wonder what happened to publish 7 chap/day...
