Reputation Over All is a case featured in Criminal Case, appearing as the seventh case of the game. It is the seventh case set in the city of Crimsonden and also the seventh one to take place in the Crystal Manors district.

Plot

The team rushed to the Bradley manor to investigate who paid the thief on behalf of the family. The team entered the manor, before seeing the manor's ponds, and a body in them, which the team recognized as Felicity Bradley's. The team looked shocked on the body, and started investigating identifying Patrick Bradley, the count, Annabelle Bradley, the countess who hated Felicity and Adrian Bradley as suspects for the murder of Felicity after investigating the dining room as well. The team also learned that the killer drank red wine and played chess, before learning somebody was searching the victim's hunting collection room.

Louis and the player entered the victim's hunting room, to find it completely trashed. The team found evidence to suspect Ada Bradley and Sylvester Bradley, but both of them denied knowing anything about Felicity's murder. The team also learns that the killer reads non-fiction titles, and also learning that Patrick was planning to send Felicity to an old age home because she was being too much of a burden, and that the only reason Adrian was getting close to Felicity was to get Joel, Sylvester and Ada disinherited, before learning that Joel was having a panic attack at the station.

Allison and the player rushed to the station where they saw Nicholas and Rosalyn try and comfort Joel, but he just didn't listen and told the team that they were wrong for suspecting his entire family in one go, and that as an act of defiance, he wouldn't perform any more analyzes for the cases, until the killer could be proven somebody outside the team, before Rosalyn pointed out that as much he hated his family, he was their son, with extreme loyalty, denial over major things and certain darker tendencies, before Joel stormed out saying he was nothing like them. The team searched the hunting artifacts area again to find that Annabelle and the victim had a major falling up, and that Sylvester didn't want to rob Joel off his inheritance and Ada and the victim had gone hunting, but Ada wasn't a good hunter, before finding all the evidence to arrest Ada for the murder of Felicity.

Ada hesitated in revealing her motives saying the team and her family wouldn't understand. Louis pressed on, before Ada burst into tears, saying that Felicity was the Bradley member involved with the conspiracy, and had hired the thief. She continued saying the thief was planted in Crystal Manors to cause chaos, so the real problem in the district, the corruption of the families could go unnoticed. Ada kept on crying, saying that she was so sorry, but she had heard Felicity discussing all her evil plans, and she didn't want to betray her family by going to the police. She said that all the money robbed was in Annabelle's hunting collection, and that she hated that she turned into a murderer, saying her life was over. Louis looked sadly over to Ada saying that she did the right thing by exposing Felicity's crimes, but murder was not needed. Judge Cross sympathized with Ada, saying that she was a confused heiress who had no advice in actual morality which wasn't family loyalty and sentenced her to 3 years in prison.

After the investigation, Joel rushed to the team saying that he wanted to make a choice between being the heir, or getting disinherited and continuing to be the tech expert. The player and Joel went to Sylvester and asked him if he was interested to be heir. Sylvester said that Patrick had been treating him like a heir, but Annabelle insisted the heir had to be Joel. Joel and the player searched the hunting area to find a document by Felicity on duties of the heir. After analyzing the document and making slight changes, Joel decided to step down, before Annabelle started yelling that Joel was the heir, before Joel replied that Sylvester was better equipped and left.

After the confrontation, Midge came to the station, saying that she was staying at the Bradleys home as a guest, and her stuff was stolen along the dining room, and she mentioned they were business documents and stacks of money. The dining room was checked, where the team came to a horrific realization, now that Felicity was dead, the thief was a rogue agent, stealing money and documents which could ruin the economy of the city. The team returned the recovered stuff to Midge, but most of it was stolen.

Colton came to the station asking for a favor. He asked that the Swifts were having the final gala of the year. Colton said that they could plant a trap for the thief at the gala, and asked them to fetch some money from the secret chamber near the ponds. The team analyzed the money to make sure it was a bag that Colton had hidden, and not actually Bradley money. The team then gave the money to Colton who put it infront of the statues, planning to set a trap. The next day, the team suited up for the final party, and approached the manor.... only to see it set aflame.
