Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 2387

Despite possessing tremendous willpower, the sensation felt like living hell to Jasper.

"Do you know what this is?" Rio questioned.

Jasper asked in a low voice, "What is it?"

"It is known as Crystal Ice," Rio explained. "It's a new type of drug, currently the most addictive and lethal on the market."

Jasper's pupils constricted, and his breathing became uneven. "What is it again?"

"Mr. Beckett, now that we have concrete evidence, there's no need to continue this charade in front of me, is there? *Rio stated, standing before Jasper and studying him with a frigid gaze. "Come clean with us. Don't waste our time or yours. You're the president of a corporation; I know your time is precious.

"This is your first offence, so you won't receive a severe sentence. You should take responsibility for your actions. Don't dwell on it."

Jasper lowered his eyes, a frown deepening on his face. Zealous balls of rage burned in his eyes.

Sheryl had given him those pills. In other words, Justin had instructed her to do so.

Therefore, Justin had never intended to cure him from the very start. Instead, he was ensnaring him in drug use. Justin had made him engage with the devil, then lured him down into hell little by little.

Jasper felt overwhelmed. At that moment, his temples began throbbing unexpectedly, and his gaze blurred.

Just then, the door to the interrogation room opened once again.

Jasper blinked hard. He then saw a handsome man in a suit walk in. In a deep and confident voice, the man announced, "I am Mr. Beckett's attorney, Steven Lynch. From now on, my client has the right to selectively answer or refuse any unreasonable questions."

'Steven-' Rio stared at Steven in shock.

They worked in the criminal justice system. This was Steven Lynch, the former reputable judge. How could he not know who he was?

*Judge Lynch?' Jasper asked, his lips quivering. Cold sweat beaded on his forehead.

A friendly smile spread across Steven's face. "I haven't been a judge for a long while. I am now simply your attorney, Mr. Beckett."

Rio forced a slight smile. "I should have expected as much from the wealthiest family in Solana City. Of course you'd be able to hire the Mr. Lynch, the ex-judge who was unafraid of those with power."

"Now that I'm in a different position, my perspective has changed. As an attorney, I believe everyone has the right to defend themselves."

Steven calmly sat down next to Jasper. Their eyes met, and he leaned into Jasper's ear, whispering, 'Ms. Alyssa asked me to help you."

Jasper stared intently at him. His heart pounded uncontrollably, as if trying to break free from the chains binding

it.

Thereafter, Steven picked up the test report and said coldly, "Even though the test results came back positive, this doesn't prove that Mr. Beckett did drugs. Some illicit medications from overseas can also produce the same positive test results if taken in excess. Based on this alone, don't you think your conclusion is too far-fetched, Chief Olson?"

The officer next to Rio was extremely displeased. He argued, "But we found Crystal Ice in his office. Although the

quantity was small, it makes him a suspect for drug possession!"

"I've seen these tactics used to frame others too many times." Steven placed the document down. With a sharp glint in his eyes, he continued, "Two months ago, our law firm accepted a case where someone reported their corporation's leader for taking bribes.

"The police found a box of cash in that leader's car. Ultimately, after investigation, it was discovered to be a setup. Someone had broken into the trunk of his car and planted the money.

*Over a thousand employees work at Beckett Group. Even with security, how can they guarantee no one snuck in to plant this bag of pills and frame my client?"

Rio flew off the handle. Through clenched teeth, he sneered. "Mr. Lynch, you're quite eloquent. You're even capable of defending a criminal."

'Also, you accused my client of doing drugs. Does your evidence present the complete picture?"

Rio frowned.

Steven leaned forward. In a steady voice, he questioned, "Do you have evidence of Mr. Beckett purchasing drugs or instructing his subordinate to purchase them on his behalf? Do you?"
