Female Novel
Chatper 1471
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 younovelbin
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!"
Frowning, he pressed on, "From the sound of it, you were involved in other murders before. Is that
right?"
"No, I did not! Never! Don't slander me!" she agitatedly wailed like a madwoman as she rose from her
seat.
"Alright. Alright. Good to know." Simon leaned backward into the chair, fearing that Sophia might attack
him.
The audience filled the seats in the court for Sophia's trial. The public trial was to be live-streamed on
the court's official website. Still, Javier, in an attempt to prevent suspicious individuals from sneaking in,
had hired acquaintances from the Beckett Group and the legal profession to fill the seats.
Apart from Javier, Betty, who had been out of the public eye, was summoned to appear. Naturally, she
was reluctant to show up at a trial. Plus, she had no feelings left for Sophia anymore.

Betty fell silent but secretly grumbled to herself, "You're only defending that dumb bitch because
Landon Harper has her back."
