Without Sophia's strategies, Betty could not survive, like a parasite who had left its host.

Meanwhile, Sophia and Jeffrey were attacking each other in court, bringing Javier so much shthat he wanted to leave the scene.

It was Simon's tto spring into action. Chuckling, he stretched and stood up relaxedly. "Mr. Snyder, you claimed that the defendant paid you off to get rid of Ms. Carle, but there's no evidence to back up your claim. | have a reason to suspect that you're lying and framing my client to get away from your crime." "| did not lie! | told the truth. | never had any exchange with the maid at all. Why would I kill her for no reason?" Jeffrey nervously defended himself.

Sean fixed a stern gaze on Simon's animated face and silently clenched his fist. The secret recordings by Nina were in Sean's possession. She had lost her life precisely over the recordings.

Simon must have been aware of the fact as well, but he remained unfazed because he knew that Nina's stealth recordings did not qualify as evidence.

Simon continued his attacks. "You claimed that my client paid a huge sum to you. May | know the whereabouts of the payment?" Jeffrey could not cup with an answer. He had requested cash from Sophia and later kept the money in the basement of his hin Tsulu. Therefore, there weren't any transaction records to prove his claim.

Beckett of the Beckett Group. Given her wealth, she had no motive to kill a maid who had served the family for five years.

"Before Nina Carle worked for the Becketts, she had served as an HR department employee in my company. She had no connections to the Beckett Group at all." Simon confronted Jeffrey with hostility. "On the other hand, Mr. Snyder, you were involved in illegal activities in Tsulu before you were hired as a special assistant to my client. Not only that, you were involved in murders. The Tsulian police had your criminal records, which we can get our hands on at any time." "| told you I had never spoken to Nina before the murder. | wouldn't have killed her if Sophia hadn't instructedto!" Jeffrey was nearly driven mad by Simon. As a rough hooligan, he was no match for a slick attorney.

"That is your one-sided claim without any evidence. Even if you were not acquainted with Nina Carle, you might have killed her in the heat of the moment. A man like you will not bat an eye at the loss of life," Simon argued, trying his best to paint Jeffrey as a vicious serial murderer.
