"W-What? Did that bastard walk away scott-free?" bellowed Alyssa.

She left Jasper's arms and stood up in shock, nearly giving Mrs. Rosie a heart attack from her sudden yelp.

Jasper's expression fell after he overheard Cyrus' update.

"That's impossible! Jameson will ensure that he has his enemy crushed. So, how did they manage to bail David out? Is there something wrong with the evidence?" She froze from head to toe and trembled incessantly.
