Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue novel Chapter 1347

To protect Alyssa, Sean turned himself in without hesitation and signed his admission of guilt. Without seeking Josh's approval, Simon executed a bold maneuver to resolve the issue once and for all, catching Alyssa and Jasper off guard.

Jasper hugged Alyssa tight and shot a glare at Simon's smug face. "Simon Lynch, what trick have you pulled on Sean to make him confess?"

"Tricks? Mr. Beckett, I'm breaking under all your verbal assaults. You might have to compensate me for moral damages." Simon rubbed his chest, but the glee on his face betrayed his feelings. "It's the police's job to interrogate the suspect. As an attorney, I have no place to do so. Look, Sean willingly signed the admission of guilt. I did not force him at all."

"Simon Lynch, karma will hit you one day. Besides, it's too early to claim you've won." Alyssa stared at him resentfully as she clutched Jasper's hand tightly, the only way to keep her composure.

"We shall see. I'm intrigued to learn how you'll beat me. Don't keep me waiting too long." The malicious smile on Simon's face was at odds with his gentlemanly appearance.

They had been negligent, forgetting about the threat Simon Lynch posed. Despite the marked contrast in integrity between the brothers, Simon knew Sean inside and out, having grown up together.

Alyssa and Jasper had not arrived at the police station when Simon engaged Sean in the conversation. At that time, Simon threatened Sean with Alyssa and Tatiana's wellbeing, knowing that Sean would willingly sacrifice for them.

The look in Josh's eyes darkened. He was amazed by Simon's secret maneuvers that saved the day. Despite securing Sean's admission of guilt, Josh did not feel thankful to Simon, who had betrayed his family for personal gains.

Josh agreed with Jasper on one thing—Simon was a heartless bastard. If Simon could betray his sibling, Josh knew it was a matter of time before Simon sold him out for personal gain. Therefore, he had to be wary of Simon.

"Mr. Barrett, now that the suspect has admitted guilt, we may kickstart the legal procedure and bring him to court," suggested Simon.

He couldn't wait to indict Sean to get back at Alyssa. Gabe shared the same goal, as he wanted to ingratiate himself with the Schmidts. Therefore, he agreed with Simon, "Now that we have evidence, let's kickstart the procedure—"

"Wait a minute!" To everyone's astonishment, a loud, clear voice cut through the tension, startling everyone.

Alyssa gasped, "Jonah!"

"Lyse, you should have told me if you planned to come here." Jonah playfully glared at his sister. "Am I nothing to you now that you have your man?"

"Exactly! We have been worried about the two of you," Julien chimed in, standing behind Jonah.

Despite the stern tone, Julien winked playfully at Alyssa from behind Jonah.
