Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel 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 plaintiff'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 principles compared 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 pillar 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 his lack 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 claimed. 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 displayed the humiliating video of Sophia getting high after taking drugs at the horseracing event. The indecent scene of Sophia touching herself had been pixelated, but the judges and the audience were disturbed by her moans.
