Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

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 to a 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?" A reporter 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.
