"It's fine. Dad is at the meeting," Jonah replied while quietly casting a loving gaze at Alyssa. "I came
over because I was worried about Lyse and wanted to lend a hand if any emergency arises."
"Woah, Jonah, you're doting on her like she's your daughter," Cyrus complimented Jonah earnestly as
he stared conflictedly at Alyssa and Jasper. "But we're not going to have many opportunities to stay by
her side. Now that she has her protector, she will not need us as much."
"Such is life. Ever since her 18th birthday, I braced for the day she no longer needs me." Jonah was
flooded with memories of Alyssa's smiling face. Despite the bitterness, he only had blessings for Alyssa
instead of envy. "Isn't it nice that we can entrust her to Jasper? It's also about time we 'retire' from her
life."
The murmurs ceased after the plaintiff, the attorneys, and the prosecutor filed into the court. Sean and
Simon took their seats on both sides, the tension between them palpable.
"Sean, good luck!" Tatiana whispered as she stared keenly at Sean's dashing and spirited figure.
Sitting upright, she felt her nerves tingling.
Silas, dressed in his uniform, marched to his seat. His sharp brows exuded an air of authority, adding to

court? If all the public prosecutors look like Silas, I'll willingly get into trouble once in a while just to go
to court!"
Her remark left Lyla and Tatiana speechless.
Meanwhile, Mandy looked exasperated by Colene's antics. She playfully reminded Colene, "Can you
act like a married woman for once? What do you take the court as, a host club that you can visit as you
wish?"
Silas reflexively glanced at the public gallery, where he found his family in presence. Despite being a
veteran in court who carried himself with a heart of steel, he couldn't help but feel touched at the sight.
In this trial, not only was he responsible for seeking justice for the victim and representing the country
in prosecuting the culprit, but he also bore the heavy expectations of his family.
At the last moment, a slim figure sneaked past the gaps of the closing door. Silas' attention was once
again drawn to the back of the public gallery.
