Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1468

Sophia Kirkman's case was brought to court under intense public scrutiny and anticipation.

Early in the morning, Mrs. Rosie changed into a new and clean outfit. She went to the cemetery with a bunch of fresh lilies and placed the flowers in front of Anne's headstone.

Then, she sat cross-legged on the floor, placing an iPad in front of her and making sure it faced Anne's smiling photo.

"Madam, your darling son and daughter-in-law are seeking justice for you. That evil bitch Sophia Kirkman will finally receive her payback."

While polishing Anne's photo, tears welled up in Mrs. Rosie's eyes. She said, "Jasper and Alyssa will visit you after the trial. Before that, I'll keep you company as we watch them in court."

Mrs. Rosie picked up a whiff of lily scent, like a silent answer.

…

Although Sophia's representation had requested a private trial, the court rejected their application due to insufficient grounds. The case would proceed as a public trial instead.

Despite the influence of the Beckett Group and Sophia's esteemed status, after careful consideration, the court denied the application due to the public impact of the case and the fact that it did not meet the criteria for a private trial. The court had decided to proceed with the trial as usual to avoid damaging the court's reputation and integrity.

The media flooded the entrance to the court in the morning. Reporters from various media live-streamed the proceedings due to the tremendous public interest in the case.

At that moment, a black sedan sped down the road and rolled to a stop by the stairs. Simon, who had laid low for a while, appeared in the public eye in a smart-looking suit. The reporters immediately swarmed him.

"Mr. Lynch, how confident are you in winning the case for Sophia Kirkman on behalf of the Beckett Group?"

"No matter who my client is, and no matter what the nature of the case is, I have to fulfill my responsibility to defend them. Besides, today's trial is related to another case involving Mrs. Beckett, which I am confident in winning."

The reporter retorted, "So, Mr. Lynch, are you confident you can let Sophia Kirkman off scot-free from the contract killings?"

Looking amused, Simon wagged his finger casually at the reporter. "To defend a client, I will need to give her my full trust. There is no 'letting her off scot-free' when she's innocent to begin with."

Soon, another sedan halted beside his car. To everyone's shock, Sean appeared from the second car.

He said to someone else, "Madam, watch out."
