Alyssa wore light makeup for the trial and a white pantsuit with her self-designed sapphire brooch on the chest.
She carried herself with elegance and class.
Jasper stood tall beside her in a smart and tailored black suit, accentuating his figure and authority.

Each of her movements tugged at Jasper's heartstrings. Soon, he picked up on her anxiety and hurriedly held her hand. Then, their fingers interlocked.
He comforted her, "Lyse, don't panic. We need to have trust in Steven and Sean. We will win this fight." She looked up into his alluring eyes as her racing heart gradually calmed down.
"Jonah, don't you have an important meeting to attend at the KS Group? Why did you show up? What about the company?" Cyrus questioned with an astonished expression.
