Chapter 760

"Lyse, you're awesome!" Cyrus exclaimed. He was seated in a corner of the KS World Hotel café with

Alyssa.

He laid out a few photos on the table and remarked, "As you have predicted, the culprit has a secret

room at his house where he kept Sophia Kirkman's photos. He's not a loyal fan of Lyla like he

claimed, but a fanatic supporter of Sophia Kirkman."

Alyssa pursed her lips and said in a hushed voice, "Cyrus, have you found any other important

clues?"

After some hesitation, Cyrus showed her a transparent evidence bag. The bag contained a platinum

necklace studded with diamonds. The design of the jewelry was rather outdated, and the quality

was not the best.

Cyrus explained, "I found this necklace at the attacker's place. He carefully stored it in a case, so I

assume it's very important to him."

Alyssa always had a sharp memory. Somehow, the necklace looked familiar to her. She quickly

looked through some of the photos.

"Look, Sophia has worn this necklace before. It's the same one,” she picked out one of the photos.

Even a seasoned cop like Cyrus was in awe of Alyssa's memory. "Lyse, you should have joined the

force. What a waste of talent!”

She smirked. "Nah, I can never be a cop. I would have beaten the living daylight out of the suspect

at the scene."

Cyrus was speechless at her reply.

She surmised with a squint, "Seems like Sophia has a close relationship with the attacker if he

possesses her necklace. Do you think there's something between them?"

"Even if there is, it is all in the past. The necklace evidence proves they are acquainted, but we

cannot infer any affair between the two,” Cyrus explained sternly.

"I know, but this evidence is enough to get Sophia into trouble,” she mused. She examined the

necklace's charm under the light. Her eyes sparkled brightly.

Then, she said to Cyrus, "Cyrus, the attacker refused to say a thing in your interrogations. They

wouldn't leave any transaction trail behind if he is a loyal fan who worked for Sophia. We can't

prove that Sophia hired him to attack Lyla.

"What I need is to use the available evidence to access more evidence and deliver a blow to

Sophia."

Cyrus widened his eyes and asked, "Lyse, what exactly do you plan to do?"

She leaned backward and tapped her fingers on the table, looking charming yet intimidating. She

replied, "I'll have a chat with Sophia Kirkman."

After parting ways with Cyrus, Alyssa received a call from Miley and learned that Miley would return

to Kontina the next morning. She rushed back to Heightsnew Villa upon hearing that.

Mandy held onto Miley's hands in the living room, chatting tearfully.

"Mom, you're being dramatic,” Miley chirped despite the tears in her eyes. "Kontina isn't far from

Cyrris. They're on the same continent. You can visit me at any time."

"Oh, don't get me started on that! On my last visit, I did not get to see you in the three days I was

there! You were busy accompanying your husband to events. Gosh, I regret having you marry

abroad. You're too far from me now,” Mandy lamented in a teary voice while clasping Miley's hands.

"Mom, it was my fault last time. Jeremy had a sudden engagement, which I had to attend as his

wife. I'm sorry,” Miley apologized and felt bad for Mandy.

"Miley!" Alyssa exclaimed when she got home. She looked sad and reluctant to see Miley leave.

"Can't you stay a bit longer? I didn't even make time to chat with you.”

"We'll have a chance in the future, Lyse." Miley rose from the couch and held Alyssa's hands. "After

the election, I'll come home with Jeremy for a longer stay. We'll get to catch up by then.”
