Sophia Kirkman's case was brought to court under intense public scrutiny and anticipation.
Early in the morning, Mrs. Rosie changed into a new and clean outfit. She went to the cemetery with a
bunch of fresh lilies and placed the flowers in front of Anne's headstone.
Then, she sat cross-legged on the floor, placing an iPad in front of her and making sure it faced Anne's
smiling photo.
"Madam, your darling son and daughter-in-law are seeking justice for you. That evil bitch Sophia
Kirkman will finally receive her payback."
While polishing Anne's photo, tears welled up in Mrs. Rosie's eyes. She said, "Jasper and Alyssa will
visit you after the trial. Before that, I'll keep you company as we watch them in court."
Mrs. Rosie picked up a whiff of lily scent, like a silent answer.
Although Sophia's representation had requested a private trial, the court rejected their application due
to insufficient grounds. The case would proceed as a public trial instead.
Despite the influence of the Beckett Group and Sophia's esteemed status, after careful consideration,
the court denied the application due to the public impact of the case and the fact that it did not meet the
criteria for a private trial. The court had decided to proceed with the trial as usual to avoid damaging the
court's reputation and integrity.
The media flooded the entrance to the court in the morning. Reporters from various media live-
streamed the proceedings due to the tremendous public interest in the case.
At that moment, a black sedan sped down the road and rolled to a stop by the stairs. Simon, who had
laid low for a while, appeared in the public eye in a smart-looking suit. The reporters immediately
swarmed him.
"Mr. Lynch, how confident are you in winning the case for Sophia Kirkman on behalf of the Beckett
Group?"
Simon smiled with a hint of arrogance. "I have never lost a legal case before." In other words, he was
confident of his victory. However, he seemed to have forgotten about the various times he had lostnovelbin
against Alyssa and Jasper.
"Mr. Lynch, you were hired by the Beckett Group to bail out Sophia Kirkman when she was arrested for
drug use, but you failed to bail her out until now. Does that mean you are at a disadvantage in this
case?"
The smile on Simon's face froze, and he silently clenched his fists.
Simon's assistant immediately explained, "Ladies and gentlemen, we might have taken on Mrs.
Beckett's case per the Beckett Group's request, but by the time we worked on it, there was already
incriminating evidence against her. We couldn't do anything about it, so—"
"Do you mean that Mr. Lynch could have gotten her out of trouble if she sought legal help earlier, even
if she was guilty of drug use?" A reporter posed a pointed question at Simon out of his strong distaste
for the attorney.
Many of the court reporters had long disapproved of Simon, the greedy and obnoxious attorney. They
knew he was no good under his seemingly gentlemanly facade.

The reporter retorted, "So, Mr. Lynch, are you confident you can let Sophia Kirkman off scot-free from
the contract killings?"

Soon, another sedan halted beside his car. To everyone's shock, Sean appeared from the second car.
He said to someone else, "Madam, watch out."
