When the Family Reads the Fake Heiress‘ Mind
Chapter 157 Thinking of a Way
Since Asher was firmly insisting that Thomas was the real culprit-
It was very likely that Asher had actually seen Thomas at Tri Street that night.
But why hadn’t Thomas shown up on the surveillance footage?
The real biggest suspect seemed to have just disappeared…
In any case, this situation could be described as both simple and complicated-
The truth itself was simple. Asher was clearly innocent.

But with the lack of evidence and the many suspicious details that couldn’t be easily explained, proving Asher’s innocence had become extremely difficult and complicated.
In the eyes of the law, evidence was everything.
And right now, the odds were clearly stacked against Asher.
“I’ll think of something,” Jean finally said softly after a long moment of thought.
Sofia sounded startled. “You’ll think of something?”
In her mind, Jean was just a pitiful girl from a tragic background, someone with no connections and no power, barely able to take care of herself. How could she possibly help Asher?
“Jean, don’t get me wrong,” Sofia quickly softened her tone. “I didn’t tell you all this because I expected you to help or worry about it. I just… didn’t have anywhere else to vent.”
“You don’t need to worry too much,” Sofia added, her tone turning grim. “Some things are just beyond our control. All we can do is take it one step at a time… And since you know Thomas, you should also know how rich and powerful his family is in Blairford. If he really did it… how could the three of us possibly take him down…”
Jean pressed her lips together and pretended to agree. “Yeah, I was just saying. It would be great if we could find a way to save Asher…”
Finally, the long call ended.
The moment she hung up, Jean immediately went online and started digging for information about Asher
case.
The entire internet was flooded with reports about Dominic, along with a slew of leaked photos.
Cerwise, her connection
Jean suddenly felt a little relieved at least no clear photos of her had surfaced. C

to the Ginger family would have been exposed to the entire internet by now.
She kept browsing quietly, and finally found some articles about Asher.
Compared to Dominic’s coverage, Asher’s situation hadn’t gotten as much attention, but it had still trended online and stirred up a lot of debate.

“Male trash is gross at any age.”
“Even if he’s a minor, he deserves to be severely punished! No leniency!”

“So young and already this messed up? Why not put that energy into studying instead of being disgusting?”
“When will there be a verdict? I can’t wait to see this guy get punished.”
“A Stellarford Academy student, huh? Why hasn’t he been expelled yet? Ruining the school’s reputation.”
“Stellarford Academy really has fallen – producing scum like this.”
“Those Stellarford Academy kids must think they’re better than everyone else. Think they can just humiliate vocational students?”
“Go to hell, you disgusting piece of trash!”
Jean also came across an “interesting” report. A journalist had actually gone to Stellarford Academy to interview Asher’s classmates-
Which, of course, meant Jean’s classmates too.
The spoiled rich kids from Class Three couldn’t wait to tear Asher down. Taking advantage of the fact that he was locked up and couldn’t defend himself, they exaggerated and slandered him, painting him as some morally bankrupt degenerate…
Reports like these only made things worse, pouring even more fuel on the fire surrounding Asher’s case.
