Chapter 1483

"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

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

"Moreover, the witness vanished for 20 years before coming 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 out laughing.

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 had come 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 place. 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," Lyla said coldly.

Mandy raised the corner of her lip in disdain. She said frigidly, "Now that it has come 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 Silas, 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 plaintiff's attorney has no new evidence to share, the prosecution may proceed with their

questioning.” As the judge, Steven could only proceed accordingly.

Bright-eyed, Silas 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's last row.

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

eyes. Her heart raced

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

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