Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Simon refuted with a fake smile, "Jeffrey Snyder is Nina Carle's murderer. He
was caught at the scene and admitted to it. Mrs. Beckett is unfairly accused of
the crime, and I'm here to clear her name."
Sean merely scoffed at Simon's remark. "So, are you saying that the authorities
are wrong to arrest a woman who is involved in corruption, abuse of power,
slander, and framing others for her crime? She's also a drug user, you know."
"That's just a red herring. Mrs. Beckett has made some mistakes that don't
warrant a harsh punishment. Besides, she has not murdered anyone. She will
admit to the crimes she has committed, but she will not be unfairly blamed. She
has no reason to take the blame for the murder all because you want to settle
personal grudges.”
Frowning, Sean fell into silence. He was wary not to get into a squabble with
Simon, for he'd only give Simon the chance to insult Alyssa.
The reporters fixed their hateful gazes on Simon as anger simmered. They
silently cheered Sean on.
Half an hour before the trial commenced, Simon was granted one more chance
to speak to Sophia.
Sophia seemed to be in excellent condition in the meeting room despite wearing
a prisoner's outfit and being handcuffed. She had carefully styled her hair for the
occasion. Although she was behind bars, she never failed to adhere to her
beauty regimen.
Under the Beckett Group's protection, she managed to live with dignity as Mrs.
Beckett. Knowing that Javier had not fully given up on her, she dared not slack
off. She even went on a strict diet and ate very little just to maintain her figure to
appeal to him.
She was confident she'd make a comeback if she could walk free. She knew she
was capable of winning Javier's heart the way she stole him from Anne 25 years
ago.
Her eyes lit up at the thought as she pleaded urgently, "Mr. Lynch, you need to
clear my name no matter what and get me out of here. I can offer you anything
you want as long as I get my freedom.
"How about you become the Beckett's son-in-law? I'll marry my daughter to you.
Once you're part of our family, you no longer have to fear the Taylors. Your
brother—the Taylors" lapdog—will not pose a threat to you."
Simon was unbothered by her suggestion. He had never taken Sean seriously
anyway. Still, he found the status of the Becketts' son-in-law an attractive offer.
Betty might be known as an evil dimwit, but that did not matter if marrying her
could make him part of the high society. Betty might be vile, but he would outdo
her.
Simon cleared his throat and lowered his voice, saying, "Mrs. Beckett, this will be
our last conversation before the trial, so be honest and tell me everything.
"We're looking at the contract killing charges in this trial. Jeffrey Snyder ratted
you out, but thankfully, he only had witness testimony going for him. There is no
solid evidence. So, we stand a chance of turning this around.
"Tell me the truth. How did you get Jeffrey to carry out the murder?"
"I arranged for Betty, my daughter, to carry it out. I did not show up at any point!"
Sophia snitched on Betty without hesitation.

Then, Simon lowered his voice and added, "I need to know something else. Are
you only involved in Nina Carle's murder? Any other cases that I do not know
of?"
