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. He neatly 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 the gaming 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 S~ᴇaʀᴄh the Find_Nøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Mother Teresa.

"I haven't dealt with her because I do not have solid evidence. Betty was her scapegoat, and she wasn't directly implicated. My hands are tied now."

"Looks like Ms. Harper has really rubbed you the wrong way," Sean said indignantly. "She doesn't seem 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 the bathroom.

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 have something to do with Sean?"

Jonah replied, "It's not directly related to Sean, but it's connected somehow. I can't speak freely with him around. Javier sought Sean's brother, Simon. He is helping to bail out Betty. Simon is on his way to pick Alyssa's expression darkened as she murmured, "With Simon Lynch's help, Betty has a better chance of

being released."

Jonah said, Simon Lynch is crafty and bold. He's never lost a case in his decades-long career and won'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 witness against Betty right now."

Alyssa sighed, "I get what you mean, but I have no influence over Abigail Grant. She's under Jasper's control 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 risk involving 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 loser like Betty. Her true target was Sophia Kirkman.

Her only concern was that these new developments might upset Sean, who was sensitive and carried a heavy 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 as she 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 recent lack of sleep.
