"It's fine. Dad is at the meeting," Jonah replied while quietly casting a loving gaze
at Alyssa. "I came over because I was worried about Lyse and wanted to lend a
hand if any emergency arises."
"Woah, Jonah, you're doting on her like she's your daughter,” Cyrus
complimented Jonah earnestly as he stared conflictedly at Alyssa and Jasper.
"But we're not going to have many opportunities to stay by her side. Now that she
has her protector, she will not need us as much."
"Such is life. Ever since her 18th birthday, I braced for the day she no longer
needs me." Jonah was flooded with memories of Alyssa's smiling face. Despite
the bitterness, he only had blessings for Alyssa instead of envy. "Isn't it nice that
we can entrust her to Jasper? It's also about time we 'retire’ from her life."
The murmurs ceased after the plaintiff, the attorneys, and the prosecutor filed
into the court. Sean and Simon took their seats on both sides, the tension
between them palpable.
"Sean, good luck!" Tatiana whispered as she stared keenly at Sean's dashing
and spirited figure.
Sitting upright, she felt her nerves tingling.
Silas, dressed in his uniform, marched to his seat. His sharp brows exuded an air
of authority, adding to the pressure in the room.
"Ah! Do you guys feel the same?" Colene swooned at Silas. "Doesn't he look
super handsome in court? If all the public prosecutors look like Silas, I'll willingly
get into trouble once in a while just to go to court!"
Her remark left Lyla and Tatiana speechless.
Meanwhile, Mandy looked exasperated by Colene's antics. She playfully
reminded Colene, "Can you act like a married woman for once? What do you
take the court as, a host club that you can visit as you wish?"
Silas reflexively glanced at the public gallery, where he found his family in
presence. Despite being a veteran in court who carried himself with a heart of
steel, he couldn't help but feel touched at the sight.
In this trial, not only was he responsible for seeking justice for the victim and
representing the country in prosecuting the culprit, but he also bore the heavy
expectations of his family.
At the last moment, a slim figure sneaked past the gaps of the closing door. Silas’
attention was once again drawn to the back of the public gallery.

his heart raced like crazy. He spotted
Rose sitting at the last row, dressed
