Chapter 480

A day had passed after Betty was subjected to a grueling overnight interrogation by the police. It

had been a harsh ordeal for a sheltered young woman like her.

Although they provided her with food and drinks, she wasn't allowed to lie down or sleep, which left

her with dark circles under her eyes and a disheveled appearance. Her backside ached from sitting

for so

long.

The harsh fluorescent light above her head had nearly dried out her hair, which she had spent a lot

of

money to maintain.

It was truly a torturous experience!

"I didn’t. Abigail wasn't a corporate spy. I have nothing to do with it. This is all Alyssa’s plot to frame

me. I'm innocent...” Despite her fatigue and exhaustion, Betty continued to argue and refused to

give in.

At that moment, the door to the interrogation room opened. A confident and good-looking man in

a suit

entered with a black suitcase in his hand.

The man introduced himself, “Gentlemen, I am Betty Beckett's attorney, Simon Lynch.”

Simon Lynch... Attorney Lynch?

Betty's eyes brightened.

Simon beamed at her with a reassuring look. “I need to talk with my client.”

Betty followed Simon to another room. Her attorney was the only person she could meet with.

“Mr. Lynch, my dad requested you for help, didn't he?” She clutched his hand and started crying.

"Save

me! I can't stand a minute more of this!"

“Ms. Betty, do not worry. I am at least 80% confident in this case if I decide to accept it.” Simon had

a

gentle tone but a pair of eagle eyes.

He advised, “But there is one condition-I need your absolute cooperation. Tell me every single

detail. Do

not hide a thing from me.”

"Of course!” She nodded furiously, knowing that Simon could definitely save her, given how he had

successfully handled Sophia’s scandal before. So, she told him everything about the incident

without

reservation.

Simon listened to her quietly.

“Mr. Lynch, can't you teach Alyssa Taylor a lesson? She's wicked!” Betty slammed the table in anger

and moaned, “I wouldn't have ended up like this if not for that bitch!"

"Ms. Betty, she is the plaintiff, which makes her the victim in this case. You should also be aware of

her

family’s influence,” Simon pointed out.

A look of doubt crossed his eyes as he continued, “Our opponent is powerful. Ms. Taylor is a

ruthless

woman. Consider yourself fortunate if you get out of this unscathed. Don't set your hopes too

high.”

She felt a twinge of indignation at being schooled. Still, she wasn’t in the position to act out, for she

needed Simon's help.

“As for Abigail Grant, she's the one accusing you, and she happens to have a questionable

relationship

with the head of E! News Daily. This could work in our favor to discredit her as a witness,” Simon

explained with a grave look while twirling his pen.

He added, “Bryan Hanssen, the suspect, was Abigail's lover before the incident. This is the key point,

our

breakthrough in this case.”

"So, are you saying we'll make Bryan Hanssen the fall guy?” Betty asked in a hushed tone. He gave

her a knowing smile.

“But... will he do it? I heard he had a falling out with Abigail.”
