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 toa 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?" Simon smiled with a hint of arrogance.
"I have never lost a legal case before." In other words, he was confident of his
victory.
However, he seemed to have forgotten about the various times he had lost
against Alyssa and Jasper.
"Mr. Lynch, you were hired by the Beckett Group to bail out Sophia Kirkman
when she was arrested for drug use, but you failed to bail her out until now.
Does that mean you are at a disadvantage in this case?" The smile on Simon's
face froze, and he silently clenched his fists.
Simon's assistant immediately explained, "Ladies and gentlemen, we might have
taken on Mrs. Beckett's case per the Beckett Group's request, but by the time we
worked on it, there was already incriminating evidence against her.
We couldn't do anything about it, so—" "Do you mean that Mr. Lynch could have
gotten her out of trouble if she sought legal help earlier, even if she was guilty of
drug use?" Areporter posed a pointed question at Simon out of his strong distaste
for the attorney.
Many of the court reporters had long disapproved of Simon, the greedy and
obnoxious attorney.
They knew he was no good under his seemingly gentlemanly facade.
Simon snickered.
'My dear friend, I am just an attorney.
Please do not make me the bad guy.
