"It''s fine if you say that. The deceased fell to her death. Even though my client was at the scene, there


    is no one who can prove that my client has anything to do with the victim''s death."


    Upon saying that, Simon looked at Steven with a serious look. "Judge Lynch, the witness whom the


    intiff''s attorney summoned, is in no way a direct witness in this case.


    "Moreover, the witness vanished for 20 years beforeing out to give her statement. It has been 20


    years. Wouldn''t her memory already be fuzzy? Might she have colluded with someone else in secret?


    Her statement is unreliable!"


    There was pin-drop silence in the room. Furious, everyone looked toward Simon''s despicable-looking


    side profile.


    Sophia hung her head low. She was trying her best to control her facial expressions, so much so that


    the muscles on her face were beginning to spasm.


    She was terrified. She was worried that she''d suddenly lose control and burst outughing.


    She thought to herself, "Anne, you bitch! You couldn''t even beat me while you were alive. Did you think


    that you''d be able to win after you died? What a joke!"


    They hade to a dead end. Sean''s eyes were bloodshot with fury. He sat back down, albeit feeling


    dissatisfied. The Taylors really felt like ripping Sophia apart.


    "Damn it! Why do we have to go through all this trouble? We should''ve sent someone to the detention


    center in the first ce. Then, have them strangle her in there, just like how David was dealt with. Or,


    they should just dunk her head in the toilet bowl and make her drown!"


    Colene was up in arms. "Not only that, Simon''s breath stinks like shit! I wasn''t cruel enough. I should


    cut off his tongue so that he can no longer speak!"


    Mandy''s heart ached over what Anne went through. She shook her head and sighed, "It is too easy to


    get rid of someone. If this continues, no one in the world would ever know the truth behind Jasper''s


    mother''s death. Then, he wouldn''t be able to seek justice for his mother, who had died unjustly."


    "Not just that, Javier would also never regret his heartlessness and foolishness," L said coldly.


    Mandy raised the corner of her lip in disdain. She said frigidly, "Now that it hase to this, Jasper no


    longer cares what Javier thinks. Javier didn''t even bother to ensure that his beloved wife''s cause of


    death was properly investigated.


    "He then blindly became married to a murderer for 20 years. What do you think he''d do even if he knew


    the truth? He''s such an arrogant man. I don''t think that he''d feel much regret.


    "If I were Ms. Bartley, I couldn''t care less even if Javier came to my grave to beg for forgiveness! He''d


    just be a nuisance to me!"


    Even at this critical juncture, Jasper maintained a calm expression. He looked so calm that it was so


    nerve-racking to watch.


    Then, he turned his gaze slowly toward Ss, the prosecutor.


    The direct examination and cross-examination segments were over.

    Initially, Sean thought that he had turned the tide. Contrary to his expectation, Simon had pushed back.


    "If the intiff''s attorney has no new evidence to share, the prosecution may proceed with their


    questioning." As the judge, Steven could only proceed ordingly.


    Bright-eyed, Ss rose to his feet. He gave a nod of acknowledgment to the judge and the people in


    the public gallery.


    He then sat back in his seat. Subconsciously, he directed his fiery gaze toward Rose, sitting in the


    gallery''sst row.


    Rose pursed her pink lips slightly. She was wearing a pair of sunsses, which were covering her


    eyes. Her heart raced.


    The moment Ss looked away, she mouthed, "Good luck."


    "After our investigation, I''ve prepared a few questions for the defendant, Sophia Kirkman."
