The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 307

"Mr. Quinne, your reputation with Greenhaven is quite high, but now it's time to defend a man accused of being a murderer.. Aren't you worried that this will affect the good reputation you have built up over the years?"

Case Quinne responded politely but firmly, "I'm a lawyer. My job is to fight for the fairest outcomes for my clients, to clear their names. No one should be held accountable for something they didn't do."

Balfour chuckled, "Well, if you say so. I'm all eyes to see how you'll prove her innocence against the solid evidence."

As Ellinor was seated by an officer, the suspect who had attacked Patricia was soon brought in by another officer.

Seeing the suspect, Patricia tucked herself into Balfour's arms out of fear...

Balfour held her, murmuring soothing words. He looked up at the suspect who had once bullied Patricia with a glint of ferocity in his mild eyes.

Case Quinne started questioning, "Mr. Zachary, we've met before, so I won't introduce myself again. Now, please describe in detail how you committed the crime."

Zachary had already confessed and had nothing to defend. He nodded obediently and began:

"Three nights ago, Ellinor asked me to meet by Trent River, transferred me $100,000 as a down payment, asking me to hurt a girl named Patricia, with another $100,000 to follow after I succeed. I thought, I could get the money and sleep with a pretty girl, so I said yes impulsively. Later, Ellinor contacted me, told me where Patricia was in which hospital room, and I went...And then, I was caught by the police."

After he finished, Case Quinne immediately asked, "So you're saying that you only committed the crime under Ellinor's instructions, correct?"

Zachary confirmed, "Yes!"

"So how did you and Ellinor meet?"

"It was accidental. She... found my contact online and reached out to me."
