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.
Simon sent a glare in Sean's direction after he figured out Sean's strategy.
"Turn it off! Turn it off now! Stop it," Sophia yelled as she blushed in shame.
She finally felt shame at this moment. Sean had submitted the video as evidence to humiliate Sophia in
court.
Alyssa stared coldly at the screen with a smirk. "It'll be intriguing if they play this video at Sophia's
funeral. Wouldn't it be an exciting closure to her evil and sinful life?"
"A funeral?" Jasper clasped her hand with a snicker. "After this trial, Javier will never accord her a
respectable funeral. I bet he wouldn't even make arrangements for a service."

Sophia glowered at Sean, her face turning red in anger.
"Objection, Your Honor! The plaintiff's defense argument is purely hearsay and irrelevant to the case!"
Simon jumped up from his seat, his hand shooting into the air.novelbin
After a pause, Steven turned to Sean. "The plaintiff's defense, please raise questions pertinent to the
case."
