Jasper had heard Tessa's testimony many times in private. Even so, the pain in his heart was just as
piercing as when he heard it for the first time.
"Fentanyl is a type of analgesic. Its usage is banned in the country. Even a slight overdose could cause
death."
Tears of hatred welled up in Alyssa's eyes, which had already turned red. She had a mother, too. She
could completely empathize with Jasper's pain.
Everyone present in court was staggered. The attendees in the public gallery began to chatter among
themselves.
Simultaneously, the live broadcast was being streamed on the court's official website. The livestream
page was also filled with a stream of comments.
From the commencement of the hearing until now, the court's official website witnessed an
unprecedented surge in viewership, reshares, and comments.
"Sophia was also involved in a homicide? Is she the wife of a plutocrat, or is she the devil?"
"So, Jasper isn't an illegitimate child! Sophia married into the Beckett family after Mr. Javier's first wife
passed away. She was the mistress who used her pregnancy as an excuse to become Mrs. Beckett!
"This means that the illegitimate child is actually Sophia's child! That shameless bitch! How dare she
poison Jasper's mother just for the sake of marrying into the family? She's a heartless witch!"
"Sophia has two daughters. Sophia gave birth to Ms. Lauren after she became officially married to
Javier. Since this is the case, Betty is the illegitimate daughter! What a shameful background she has!
How could she still act so arrogantly? I would be too ashamed to meet anyone if I were her!"
At this moment, Betty was pacing in the courthouse's toilet. She was anxious. She smoked while she
scrolled through the comments online.
Her own mother had implicated her. She was being attacked by the harsh comments that were flooding
in. On the other hand, Lauren was completely unscathed despite being her blood sister.
Her eyes were bulging from her anger. She started screaming frantically in the empty washroom. She
had perfectly inherited Sophia's trait—being a crazy bitch!
It was as if Sophia and Betty were telepathic. In the courtroom, Sophia was also screaming at Tessa,
"Tessa! That's nonsense! I have never poisoned Anne! Neither have I instructed you to swap out her
medication!
"She died from depression. She was the one who jumped because she couldn't bear to live! I had
nothing to do with it!
"How much money did you accept from the other party? What benefits did they offer you? You haven't
appeared in Solana City in the past 20 years. They plotted to capture you and then had you come up
here and twist the knife at this crucial moment. This is slander!"
As Sophia said all that, she glared straight at Jasper menacingly. She looked as if she was going to
leap at him to bite his head off!novelbin
Tessa's fear of Jasper's harrowing power wasn't the sole reason she decided to side with him. It was
also because she had been controlled and watched by Sophia in secret for 20 whole years. She had
enough of it.
She was now almost in a frenzy, relaying her experience.
"I would be struck by lightning if I was lying! Every word I said was true! Back then, you were afraid that
I'd expose all of these. So, you forced me to resign and leave Seaview Manor.
"Even though this was so, you still couldn't rest easy. You even sent me to the remote Rolanda.
Throughout 20 years, you've always sent people to threaten and surveil me in secret! I lived under your
watch every single day. It was no different from being imprisoned!
"I was a native of Solana City. However, I ended up spending my latter days meaninglessly in Rolanda.
I had to suffer so terribly. All these were because of you!"
She divulged her emotional journey in its entirety. Everyone found it very convincing.
The corner of Sophia's lip was twitching. She wanted to respond, but Tessa wasn't going to give her
any chances to do so. Once again, she dropped a bombshell.
"You snuck into Madam Anne's room to swap out her medication at that time. To your surprise, Madam
Anne returned. She caught you red-handed!

Javier's ears were ringing. His vision became blurry. His view of Sophia became distorted. He could
barely recognize her now.
He was appalled. Moreover, all these had happened in his own home. Yet, he had only just found out
about all these now.
"Then... I could clearly hear a heavy thud coming from Madam Anne's room. There was an intense fight
between the both of you."

Sophia glowered. But she hadn't been irritated to the point where she lost her rationality. She was still
clearly aware that, over the years, there had been no concrete evidence.
As long as she continued denying it, the truth of the case would never be revealed.
After listening to the statement, Simon soon became aware of his situation. He had joined hands with
the villain. So, he wasn't going to let this ship sink, no matter what!
