Can't Win Me Back



Chapter 2354

"Like you said, Fifth Prison is where many mentally ill criminals are imprisoned. Perhaps that man is also mentally unstable, which was why he claimed that he was sane." Jonah wasn't too bothered. In a cold voice, he continued, "It's just like how drunk people would never admit that they've had too much to drink."

"There's a huge difference between the two," Alyssa interjected, drawing both Sean and Jonah's attention. "In fact, people with mental illness often believe everyone else is insane, while they are the only sane ones in the room."

Sean's eyes lit up. 'That makes sense!"

Jonah nodded. 'Yeah, that sounds right."

"According to what Sean described earlier, that man was very articulate and didn't seem like he was mentally ill. Moreover, he seized an opportune time to dash out before Mr. Steven. This suggests he had been waiting for the right moment, indicating he didn't want to miss his rare chance."Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Alyssa then asked, "Sean, what did your brother do in the end?"

"Steven mentioned that the prison guards dragged that prisoner away before he could get a clear understanding of what was going on. The guards even claimed that the prisoner was absolutely insane. In short, he was more violent than the other prisoners."

A look of dismay came across Jonah's face. "That's strange. Since Mr. Steven was hired to provide legal assistance to prisoners, every prisoner has a right to consult with him and to have their questions answered. Why was that prisoner forcibly restrained?"

Alyssa lowered her eyes and remained silent.

Sean continued, "Afterward, Steven couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. He used a contact from the courthouse to check the case files on that prisoner. But guess what? They couldn't access the files. It turns out they were only available with the Attorney General's approval!

"All other criminals' case files were accessible while his was the only one that couldn't be accessed. Not only that, it's being kept under strict control. Doesn't this sound really strange to you?"

After a moment of silence, Jonah asked, "What is that prisoner serving time for? This should be something that we can find out, at the very least.'

"He's in prison for murder, and not the murder of just one person. According to the other inmates, his victims were two women, and his murders were quite gruesome and brutal.

"But Steven's description of the criminal was that he's not particularly tall, he looks thin and sallow, and he has a congenital disability in one of his legs. He really didn't look like a brutal murderer."

Speaking of a brutal murderer, Alyssa was reminded of Justin's uncle, Zachary, who was also being imprisoned in Fifth Prison.

Coincidentally, that man was also mentally ill and a murderer who had killed two women.

Being the sharp-witted and quick-thinking woman she was, Alyssa always considered things more in-depth than others, especially when it came to coincidences like these.

This was because she did not believe that there could be so many coincidences in the world.

It was just like how she transformed into White Dove and stormed toward the battlefield in Luminara to fight alongside Jasper back then. Their survival had been a result of her pursuit, not mere fate.

Subsequently, she had even pretended to be a caretaker at the nursing home to care for Newton so that she could meet with Jasper and steal a few extra glances at him.

Coincidences and fate?

Those were simply plots that were birthed out of her love for Jasper.

'Sean, find some time to go to Fifth Prison to learn more about that prisoner's background. Also, try finding out how Zachary is doing in prison.

"From my end, I will ask Silas to do his best to help get his hands on the prisoner's case files. He works at the Solana City Investigative Bureau, and with his connections in the judicial system, he should be able to pull some strings."

A serious expression came across Sean's face. 'Got it, Ms. Alyssa."

As Jonah sat on the side of the bed, he gazed at Alyssa with a tender look in his eyes. "Lyse, aren't you getting too involved in this? That man is just a prisoner with no connection to you. Do you have to take this so seriously?"

Alyssa curled her lips slightly and narrowed her eyes. "Of course. What if he's actually innocent?"

Jonah paused, his gaze deepening as he understood her unspoken thoughts. In the end, they both thought along the same lines. He seemed to realize the true meaning behind her actions.
