Chapter 690 A Twisting Verdict
- The case against Alexander had suddenly shifted from a grave criminal accusation to claims of him being entrapped by a gold-digging woman. Rosie was painted as someone who, driven by vanity, had pursued Alexander, failed to seduce him, and then accused him out of spite.
- Had the proceedings gone according to plan, Rosie would have supported this narrative, and Alexander might have been acquitted on the spot.
- While his reputation would still suffer—painted as a man desperate enough to frequent a private club and fall for such schemes—it was a far lesser evil compared to being branded a criminal. The damage could be controlled, and life could go on.
