It was because Sophia pushed Anne down.
Sophia was a hypocritical, crafty, and viinous woman. She murdered the love of Javier''s life. Yet, he
was entirely in the dark. Not only that, he had kept the murderer by his side and protected her for 20
whole years!
Sophia deserved to die, but Javier wasn''t any better.
Javier clenched his teeth, his gaze piercing straight at Sophia, who looked pale. His eyes were filled
with hatred, and his heart ached.
The evocation of Anne''s presence haunted him. It was like a nightmare that he couldn''t wake up from.
Unconsciously, a tear trickled from the corner of his eye.
Not a single tear was shed at Anne''s funeral, yet at this moment, an overwhelming sense of grief
washed over him. Despite that, it felt toote now; shedding tears seemed meaningless.
Simon staggered backward. He looked at Sophia in extreme shock. He felt as if someone had pulled
the rug from under his feet.
At this very moment, he finally understood.
From the very beginning, Ss'' so-called evidence never existed. He imed to recount the sequence
of events. But he only did so to put pressure on Sophia to question her. It was all fiction that he had
come up with.
He had been setting things up from his very first word. He led the way step by step. Eventually, he
forced Sophia to the point of no return.
Simon shut his eyes. He was overwhelmed by a mix of emotions. He kept trying to think of a way out.
However, he couldn''te up with any other strategy, no matter how he racked his brains.

Sophia had confessed in court. She admitted to pushing Anne down. Not even God could save her
now.
The Taylors were agitated to the point of tears. Colene almost screamed. Fortunately, Mandy stopped
her just in time.
Jonah felt as if his heart was in his throat. He suppressed his whirling emotions. He nced over at
Cyrus, who was by his side. "You''ve all really put on an interesting show." "Ss, Lyse, and I were only
ying supporting roles."
Cyrus looked toward Jasper in admiration. "Our brilliant brother-inw was the one who nned all of
these out. He followed the clues and found the witness, who was in Rnda.
"He was also the one who thought of presenting false evidence in court. Through this, he wanted to
aggravate Sophia into a panic. He wanted to make her lose her nerve and confess. He''s one sneaky
chap! How sinister!"
Jonah shuddered. Surprisingly, he felt a little fearful. "That was too risky. Indeed, it was a thrilling show.
But Ss had to put his future as a prosecutor on the line. Even if he had cooperated with Jasper
willingly, what if Sophia continued scheming? What if she made it to the end without confessing? What
was your n, then?"
Cyrus remained silent for a moment. He then chuckled helplessly. "But Jonah, we had no other choice.
It was a do-or-die situation. We wouldn''t stand a chance if we didn''t take this risk.
"I suppose that Jasper''s mother was watching over him from up there. That was how we managed to
win this time."
Upon hearing that, Jonah couldn''t help but choke on his tears. He had no words to express how
touched he felt.
Alyssa and Jasper upied the front row. She clutched his warm hand firmly in hers, unable to restrain
herself as tears flowed down her face.
"Finally... we''ve won."
"Yes, we''ve finally won."
Jasper tenderly brushed away the tears from the corners of her eyes. His voice quivered, overwhelmed
by the intense emotions he was experiencing.
"Thank you, Lyse. Thank you, Ss, Sean, and Cyrus. I''m grateful to all of you. My mother can now rest
in peace."
