Gabe nearly shed tears of relief when Josh showed up to the rescue. Following closely behind Josh

was Simon Lynch, to everyone's surprise.

After the call just now, Josh was plagued by concern and decided to drop by. He also reached out to

Simon and updated the latter, inviting him to settle this issue concerning David.

Initially, Simon thought of refusing as he had not gotten over Josh's humiliation. However, when he

learned of Alyssa and Jasper's intervention, he immediately grabbed the chance to humiliate the

couple.

Alyssa gritted her teeth as rage flashed across her eyes. Josh's despicable face resembled that of a

movie villain.

"Mr. Schmidt, I had no idea you engaged Simon Lynch's legal assistance." Jasper snickered. "You

probably know his relationship to Sean, don't you?"

"Of course. So what?" Josh flashed a malicious smile. "Is there anything wrong with hiring Simon

Lynch, the top attorney, to work on my brother's case?"

"Why doesn't Simon Lynch support his own brother? Instead, he's helping the plaintiff to put his brother

in prison. What do we call this? Selling yourself to the enemy?" Jasper's eyes were filled with disdain.

Simon glared at Jasper with a smug look on his face. "Gosh, I'm honored to be critized by you, Mr.

Beckett. I'm simply doing my job here. Why would you stand at the moral high ground to criticize me?

"You're only making things difficult for us attorneys. Based on your logic, do attorneys who defend

murderers deserve to be punished as well?"

As if that wasn't insulting enough, he blinked, feigning innocence. "Mr. Beckett, are you feeling worried

because you didn't hire a good enough attorney for Sean? Had I known, I would have declined Mr.

Schmidt's offer!"

Alyssa's veins were throbbing from the anger. She would have knocked out Simon's teeth and kicked

him in the balls, sending him to the hospital just like what she had done with David.

"I have no need to hire an attorney for Sean because he's innocent." Jasper, to Simon's surprise,

wasn't provoked by the insults. Instead, he laughed out loud. "Even if I need an attorney, I would never

hire you.

"Even animals care for their flesh and blood, unlike you, who have no ethics at all. It's best if you work

for Josh Schmidt—birds of a feather flock together."

"Pfft! Well said, Jasper!" Alyssa laughed and applauded Jasper's speech.

Gabe, however, found no humor in the situation. Cowering in a corner, he feared the conflict might

escalate.

"Jasper Beckett, there's no point in arguing," Josh, blinded by rage, retorted. "Our family will make you

pay for what you did to David. You're delusional if you think you can save Sean by leveraging your

influence."

Simon patted Josh on the shoulder, cautioning him against saying more to avoid legal consequences.

He then turned to Gabe and remarked, "Mr. Barrett, you and your colleagues need to improve your

efficiency. We've been conversing with Mr. Beckett and Ms. Alyssa for a while now. Why hasn't the

paperwork been processed yet?"

Gabe and Josh were similarly confused by Simon's remark. Just then, they heard a knock on the door.

A policeman entered with a file in his hand, which he handed to Gabe. He reported, "Chief, this is

Sean's admission of guilt. He's signed it."

Alyssa and Jasper's faces fell upon hearing this.
