Simon refuted with a fake smile, "Jeffrey Snyder is Nina Carle's murderer. He was caught at the scene
and admitted to it. Mrs. Beckett is unfairly accused of the crime, and I'm here to clear her name."
Sean merely scoffed at Simon's remark. "So, are you saying that the authorities are wrong to arrest a
woman who is involved in corruption, abuse of power, slander, and framing others for her crime? She's
also a drug user, you know."
"That's just a red herring. Mrs. Beckett has made some mistakes that don't warrant a harsh
punishment. Besides, she has not murdered anyone. She will admit to the crimes she has committed,
but she will not be unfairly blamed. She has no reason to take the blame for the murder all because
you want to settle personal grudges."
Frowning, Sean fell into silence. He was wary not to get into a squabble with Simon, for he'd only give
Simon the chance to insult Alyssa.
The reporters fixed their hateful gazes on Simon as anger simmered. They silently cheered Sean on.
Half an hour before the trial commenced, Simon was granted one more chance to speak to Sophia.
Sophia seemed to be in excellent condition in the meeting room despite wearing a prisoner's outfit and
being handcuffed. She had carefully styled her hair for the occasion. Although she was behind bars,
she never failed to adhere to her beauty regimen.
Under the Beckett Group's protection, she managed to live with dignity as Mrs. Beckett. Knowing that
Javier had not fully given up on her, she dared not slack off. She even went on a strict diet and ate very
little just to maintain her figure to appeal to him.
She was confident she'd make a comeback if she could walk free. She knew she was capable of
winning Javier's heart the way she stole him from Anne 25 years ago.
Her eyes lit up at the thought as she pleaded urgently, "Mr. Lynch, you need to clear my name no
matter what and get me out of here. I can offer you anything you want as long as I get my freedom.novelbin
"How about you become the Beckett's son-in-law? I'll marry my daughter to you. Once you're part of
our family, you no longer have to fear the Taylors. Your brother—the Taylors' lapdog—will not pose a
threat to you."
Simon was unbothered by her suggestion. He had never taken Sean seriously anyway. Still, he found
the status of the Becketts' son-in-law an attractive offer.
Betty might be known as an evil dimwit, but that did not matter if marrying her could make him part of
the high society. Betty might be vile, but he would outdo her.
Simon cleared his throat and lowered his voice, saying, "Mrs. Beckett, this will be our last conversation
before the trial, so be honest and tell me everything.
"We're looking at the contract killing charges in this trial. Jeffrey Snyder ratted you out, but thankfully,
he only had witness testimony going for him. There is no solid evidence. So, we stand a chance of
turning this around.
"Tell me the truth. How did you get Jeffrey to carry out the murder?"
"I arranged for Betty, my daughter, to carry it out. I did not show up at any point!" Sophia snitched on
Betty without hesitation.

Sophia asked, "Isn't one of the judges your brother? Didn't you talk to him for a lenient sentence?"

Then, Simon lowered his voice and added, "I need to know something else. Are you only involved in
Nina Carle's murder? Any other cases that I do not know of?"
