Fortunate to Have You This Lifetime - Chapter 1003

Chapter 1003: Chapter 1003: Jane McCain’s Illness_1 Chapter 1003: Chapter 1003: Jane McCain’s Illness_1 To be fair, he was not close with Jane McCain.

He only knew her because of Purple Summers, and his impression of Jane was limited to that of a wealthy heiress with a cheerful and lively personality, nothing more.

Due to the case, their interactions inevitably increased, and so did his understanding of her.

Allen Rivera knew that Jane had a dog named Max, knew she liked cool guys, knew she was extremely talented in design, having won numerous awards, had a particular fondness for jewelry design, and, despite her young age, already held a place in her mother’s design company.

Without this case, Jane’s life would have sailed smoothly.

Allen Rivera leaned back and closed his eyes.

If only…

If Jane were to be incarcerated, her vibrant life would be destroyed by his hands.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door from outside, interrupting Allen Rivera’s thoughts.

Allen Rivera opened his eyes, “Come in.”

A young man entered, looking as if he’d encountered some good fortune, his face brimming with excitement.

“I came to try my luck, and I didn’t expect you to be here! Why are you working overtime on a Saturday?”

“I’ll leave after sitting for a bit,” Allen Rivera said. “Why are you here?”

“I found this!” The other person handed over the document in his hand, eyes shining with excitement, “I really didn’t expect this–she actually had a history of sleepwalking! With this, we can clearly explain why she knew the details of the crime but doesn’t remember killing anyone!”

Allen Rivera furrowed his brow, flipping through the documents in his hand, which were a medical diagnosis report of Jane.

His colleague rattled on: “In 1981 in Arizona, United States, a person named Steven stabbed his wife 26 times while sleepwalking, in 1987 in Toronto, Canada, Kenneth drove 23 kilometers while sleepwalking and killed his mother-in-law, and in 1997, an engineer named Scott stabbed his wife 44 times while sleepwalking and drowned her in the swimming pool!

I’ve already found the doctor who treated her back then, ha! Now she has nothing to say! Even if she won’t admit it, it’s useless, the facts are right in front of us, it doesn’t matter which lawyer she hires!”

After speaking, he looked very pleased with himself.

This person was Ian Conner.

After Allen Rivera requested to recuse himself, the attorney general transferred Jane’s case to Ian Conner for investigation.

The catfish dismemberment case had been unsolved for three years and was considered a major case. Once resolved, it would garner attention on television media, which was a rare opportunity for any prosecutor.

Previously, it was always Allen Rivera in the limelight. Ian Conner never expected such good fortune to come his way. He was thrilled and determined to crack the case!

After reading them, Allen Rivera handed back the documents, patted his colleague on the shoulder, and said indifferently, “Good luck.”

“Definitely!” Ian Conner was beaming.

Allen Rivera didn’t say more, picked up his briefcase, and left the office.

Watching Allen Rivera’s retreating back, Ian Conner stroked his chin, thinking: Allen Rivera seems a bit… a bit dejected today?

Then he thought: Could he be jealous of me?

“Ah, this guy’s really petty. He’s been on TV so many times, what’s wrong with me having a turn?” Ian Conner chuckled to himself for a while, then left the office in high spirits with the documents.

…

On Sunday, Allen Rivera met with Aria Jackson and Purple Summers again.

Purple Summers had classes on Monday and booked a flight back to Kingsley for Sunday evening. Before leaving, she reviewed the case with Aria Jackson and Allen Rivera.

Allen Rivera did not disclose the medical reports in possession of the prosecution.

He could help Jane as a friend after withdrawing from the case, but it was a serious dereliction of duty to use his power to reveal internal information to the defense lawyer.

Fortunately, Aria Jackson found a suspect named Dion Benson, and the case finally had a breakthrough.

When Purple Summers and Aria Jackson discussed the case, they chatted like high school girls without end, while Allen Rivera was like the aloof top student in the class, sitting aside in silence.

Seeing him lost in thought, Purple Summers waved her hand in front of Allen Rivera, “If the case is solved this time, how do you plan to thank Jane?”
