EuropeNovelAlyssa couldn't bring herself to go home, so she stayed at her office. Unease gnawed at her as long as Jasper's situation remained unresolved. Everything else seemed insignificant in comparison.
When Cyrus updated her, a troubling realization struck-something was off about the witness, Sebastian Bender.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs soon as Jonah, Silas, and Cyrus heard about Jasper's predicament, they agreed to travel overnight and meet Alyssa at the KS Group office.
Worried that Alyssa and Sean might overexert themselves, the three brothers brought food to lighten the tense atmosphere with a touch of familial warmth.
"Sean, Taty askedto bring this for you," Silas said, his eyes gleaming mischievously. "She made this soup herself and insisted you finish every last drop." A playful smirk tugged at his lips. "I checked the ingredients. They're all... nutritious for men." Sean's face flushed crimson as he pressed his lips together. Guilt flickered in his eyes. "She should be resting. She's due to give birth soon. Why go to all this trouble for me?" Jonah placed a box of Lyla's handmade sausage rolls on the table. Alyssa wasted no tstuffing her cheeks with the rolls; her voice muffled as she scolded Sean, "Of course she did it because she loves you. Stop overthinking and eat your soup." Sean chuckled, his heart brimming with warmth, and polished off the entire bowl.
Alyssa, however, barely had an appetite. Still, she forced herself to eat. She needed energy for the battle ahead.
After a few bites, Sean returned to work, leaving the Taylor siblings to focus on Jasper's case.
"This whole thing reeks of convenience," Cyrus fumed. "That doctor showing up just when the police needed a witness? It's too perfect. You can hangupside down if this isn't collusion!" Still reeling from being blindsided by earlier, Cyrus looked ready to flip the table.

Silas didn't quite know how to react. He gave Cyrus a pat on his shoulder. "Cyrus, you shouldn't bet your dignity on it." "Justin's too cunning to leave loose ends. Dr. Bender is clearly his plant, set up to make everything look airtight," Silas continued.
Alyssa rubbed her temples, her gaze sharp and icy. "Even if the witness is part of Justin's scheme, the blood sample they tested is real." Jonah handed Alyssa a glass of ne warm water; concern etched on his face. "Clearing Jasper's nwon't be easy. The public is already talking, and in this age of social media, rumors spread faster than truth. Lyse, you can't stop people from running their mouths."

"We have two options," Alyssa said, her voice steady despite herpounding headache. Her gaze darkened as she laid out their strategy. "First, we could force Bender to change his testimony. Find evidence that the blood test résults were tampered with and get him to switch sides.

We'd have to show that the substance in Kis body cfrom the medication, not drugs." Content belongs to en.kikistoriesCyrus groaned, ruffling his hair in frustration. "But it's been so long. How can we possibly find proof now?" "We can." Jonah took a deep breath, his voice trembling slightly as he spoke. "Julien. He's a doctor and treated Jasper while he was in a coma. If anyone can help, it's him."
