Chapter 475
Sean returned to Alyssa’s side after completing his task. He quizzed, “Are you really going easy on Ms.
Harper? This is the nicest you’ve ever been.”
Sean couldn’t help but smile when he noticed Alyssa’s high heels carelessly strewn on the floor. Heneatly
placed them under her table.
Meanwhile, Alyssa was engrossed in a gaming session, relaxing by wreaking havoc in the virtual world.
Lucifer, also known as the Queen of Killers, had become a revered figure for most players in thegaming
community.
Every time she live-streamed her gameplay, she’d attract hundreds of thousands of viewers, further
proving her popularity.
She snickered. “Who do you take me as? Be kind to her? I’m an enthusiastic philanthropist, but I’m no
Mother Teresa.
“I haven’t dealt with her because I do not have solid evidence. Betty was her scapegoat, and shewasn’t directly implicated. My hands are tied now.”
“Looks like Ms. Harper has really rubbed you the wrong way,” Sean said indignantly. “She doesn’tseem remorseful at all. She even shot you a hostile glare before leaving, as if she could tear you
apart!”
“Yeah, like that’s even possible. She should keep her thoughts as thoughts. She wouldn’t want it to
backfire and make herself the clown.”
Her phone rang from Jonah’s call. She hurriedly picked up and cooed, “Jonah!”
“Lyse, are you still at the hotel?” he inquired.
“Yes, I’m in my office.”
“Ah, that means Sean’s with you, right?” he lowered his voice.
Alyssa cleverly excused herself by heading toward the door, pretending she needed to use thebathroom.
She didn’t want the sensitive Sean to catch on that she was intentionally avoiding him.
After closing the door to her private bathroom, she whispered, “What’s going on? Does this havesomething to do with Sean?”
Jonah replied, “It’s not directly related to Sean, but it’s connected somehow. I can’t speak freely withhim around. Javier sought Sean’s brother, Simon. He is helping to bail out Betty. Simon is on his way topick
Alyssa’s expression darkened as she murmured, “With Simon Lynch’s help, Betty has a better chanceof
being released.”
Jonah said, Simon Lynch is crafty and bold. He’s never lost a case in his decades-long career andwon’t
let it happen now. He’ll do whatever it takes to clear Betty’s name.”
He paused and added gently, “If I were him, I’d start by dealing with that reporter. She’s the key witnessnovelbin
against Betty right now.”
Alyssa sighed, “I get what you mean, but I have no influence over Abigail Grant. She’s under Jasper’scontrol at the moment.” She took a deep breath and composed herself.
She added, “I’ll handle this on my own. You and Silas should stay out of it, especially him. I can’t riskinvolving a civil servant in this case. It could be used against us.
After the conversation, Alyssa emerged, looking more somber. She hadn’t cared much about a loserlike Betty. Her true target was Sophia Kirkman.
Her only concern was that these new developments might upset Sean, who was sensitive and carried aheavy sense of responsibility. She didn’t want him crying in front of her again.
Deep in thought, she made her way back to her desk.
“Alyssa.”
She heard a captivating voice call out to her, causing her to halt in her tracks. Her heart squeezed asshe turned around.
To her surprise, there was no one there.
She shook her head and massaged her temples. She must have been seeing things due to her recentlack of sleep.
