Chapter 1486

It was because Sophia pushed Anne down.

Sophia was a hypocritical, crafty, and villainous 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 too late 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, Silas’ so-called evidence never existed. He claimed 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't come 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 glanced over at

Cyrus, who was by his side. "You've all really put on an interesting show."

"Silas, Lyse, and I were only playing supporting roles."

Cyrus looked toward Jasper in admiration. "Our brilliant brother-in-law was the one who planned all

of these out. He followed the clues and found the witness, who was in Rolanda.

"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 Silas 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 plan, 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 occupied 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, Silas, Sean, and Cyrus. I'm grateful to all of you. My mother can now

rest in peace."
