“Lyse, you’re awesome!” Cyrus exclaimed. He was seated in a corner of the KS World Hotel café withAlyssa.
He laid out a few photos on the table and remarked, “As you have predicted, the culprit has a secretroom at his house where he kept Sophia Kirkman’s photos. He’s not a loyal fan of Lyla like he claimed,but a fanatic supporter of Sophia Kirkman.”
Alyssa pursed her lips and said in a hushed voice, “Cyrus, have you found any other important clues?”
After some hesitation, Cyrus showed her a transparent evidence bag. The bag contained a platinumnecklace studded with diamonds. The design of the jewelry was rather outdated, and the quality wasnot
the best.
Cyrus explained, “I found this necklace at the attacker’s place. He carefully stored it in a case, so!
assume it’s very important to him.”
Alyssa always had a sharp memory. Somehow, the necklace looked familiar to her. She quickly looked
through some of the photos.
“Look, Sophia has worn this necklace before. It’s the same one,” she picked out one of the photos.novelbin
Even a seasoned cop like Cyrus was in awe of Alyssa’s memory. “Lyse, you should have joined theforce.
What a waste of talent!”
She smirked. “Nah, I can never be a cop. I would have beaten the living daylight out of the suspect atthe
scene.”
Cyrus was speechless at her reply.
She surmised with a squint, “Seems like Sophia has a close relationship with the attacker if hepossesses
her necklace. Do you think there’s something between them?”
“Even if there is, it is all in the past. The necklace evidence proves they are acquainted, but we cannot
infer any affair between the two,” Cyrus explained sternly.
“I know, but this evidence is enough to get Sophia into trouble,” she mused. She examined thenecklace’s
charm under the light. Her eyes sparkled brightly.
Then, she said to Cyrus, “Cyrus, the attacker refused to say a thing in your interrogations. Theywouldn’t leave any transaction trail behind if he is a loyal fan who worked for Sophia. We can’t provethat Sophia
hired him to attack Lyla.
“What I need is to use the available evidence to access more evidence and deliver a blow to Sophia.”
Cyrus widened his eyes and asked, “Lyse, what exactly do you plan to do?”
She leaned backward and tapped her fingers on the table, looking charming yet intimidating. Shereplied, ”
I’ll have a chat with Sophia Kirkman.”
After parting ways with Cyrus, Alyssa received a call from Miley and learned that Miley would return to
Kontina the next morning. She rushed back to Heightsnew Villa upon hearing that.
Mandy held onto Miley’s hands in the living room, chatting tearfully.
“Mom, you’re being dramatic,” Miley chirped despite the tears in her eyes. “Kontina isn’t far from Cyrris.
They’re on the same continent. You can visit me at any time.”
“Oh, don’t get me started on that! On my last visit, I did not get to see you in the three days I was there!
You were busy accompanying your husband to events. Gosh, I regret having you marry abroad. You’retoo far from me now,” Mandy lamented in a teary voice while clasping Miley’s hands.
“Mom, it was my fault last time. Jeremy had a sudden engagement, which I had to attend as his wife.I’m
sorry,” Miley apologized and felt bad for Mandy.
“Miley!” Alyssa exclaimed when she got home. She looked sad and reluctant to see Miley leave. “Can’tyou stay a bit longer? I didn’t even make time to chat with you.”
“We’ll have a chance in the future, Lyse.” Miley rose from the couch and held Alyssa’s hands. “After theelection, I’ll come home with Jeremy for a longer stay. We’ll get to catch up by then.”
