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 The design of the jewelry was rather outdated,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!
assume it’s very important to him.”
Alyssa always had a sharp memory. Somehow, the necklace looked familiar to her. She

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
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKontina 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.”
