"Just wait and see. One day..." Betty's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of footsteps. Javier and
Betty spun around to look at the visitors, only for their faces to fall.
Jasper and Alyssa had showed up at court, followed by a few members of the Taylor family—Jonah
Cyrus, Tatiana, and Winston's three wives. They expressed their support for the victim through their
actions.
Landon would have shown up to express his support at such a critical time, but he decided to keep
Lauren company at home because the case involved Lauren's mother. He worried Lauren might suffer
a breakdown when she learned about the details.
Betty clenched her jaw as her eyes rested on Alyssa, but the latter did not pay any attention to her at

outcome, she was glad to see Sophia held accountable.
"Karma is real. Sophia will receive her punishment for the crimes she committed," Mandy comforted
Lyla gently as she clasped Lyla's free hand.
She set an icy gaze on the defendant's seat.
Alyssa overheard the conversation among her three stepmothers. Instead of feeling relieved, she
