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 shame that he wanted to leave the scene.
After the plaintiff and the defendant delivered their opening statements, the trial
entered the most crucial round of witness examination and questioning.
It was Simon's time to 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. I have a reason to
suspect that you're lying and framing my client to get away from your crime."
"I did not lie! I told the truth. I 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 I know the whereabouts of the payment?"
Jeffrey could not come up with an answer. He had requested cash from Sophia
and later kept the money in the basement of his home in Tsulu. Therefore, there
weren't any transaction records to prove his claim.
At this point, Sophia's men had probably moved the cash away from his house in
Tsulu under her command.
"My client's transaction records displayed a large transfer after the incident, but it
was due to a property purchase in Mosgravia." With that, Simon handed the
judge a document and explained, "This is the record of the property transaction.
The amount matches the outflow of funds from my client's account.”
Steven accepted the document and examined it. Just as Simon claimed, the
purchase amount matched the figure on Sophia's bank transfer record.
Sophia frowned as she maintained an innocent expression, but she was secretly
snickering at Simon's maneuver.
"You accused my client of instructing you to kill the victim, but it did not make any
sense. My client is Mrs. 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." The content is on

"I told you I had never spoken to Nina
before the murder. I wouldn't have
killed her if Sophia hadn't instructed
me to!" 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.

The judges’ negative impression of Jeffrey would play to Sophia's advantage.
"Your Honor," Sean interrupted, "I have a question regarding the defense
attorney's argument.”
