Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Sophia's mind raced as she tried to come up with a strategy.
In the end, she came to a conclusion. It had been 20 years since the incident,
and 20 years had already passed. So what if Tessa was here to give her
statement?
She hadn't witnessed the entire incident with her own eyes. All the evidence was
also long gone.
The thought of that made Sophia feel more at ease. She straightened her back
slowly.
Javier stared at Tessa in surprise. For a number of years, Tessa attended closely
to his beloved Anne. Despite that, he couldn't recall who she was.
Alyssa's heart was pounding. The pace of her breathing had become uneven.
Fortunately, she had Jasper by her side. He had his arm around her waist.
He comforted her in silence. It helped her calm her racing heart.
She wasn't the type of person to lose her patience. This time, however, was
different. This was something related to the person she loved the most. It was a
crucial fight.
This deep-seated hatred had been building up for 20 years. Karma had to be
served today.
Tessa hurried to the witness stand. Both her legs were shaking like jelly under
the table. She didn't take a single glance at the public gallery. She didn't even
dare to look at Sophia either.
Steven took a look at the witness’ information. His pupils constricted. He then
asked in his usual manner, "Witness, please state your name."
"Tessa... Tessa Flores," she answered fearfully.
Steven said, "I took a look at your particulars. You worked as a helper with the
Beckett family 20 years ago."
Javier widened his eyes in shock.
At this moment, he suddenly recalled that that woman was indeed one of their
helpers. She was Anne's personal helper!
After Anne passed away, she had given an excuse and resigned. He had
completely forgotten about this insignificant person. So, he had never expected
to see her in court. Not just that, she was now appearing as a witness.
Javier's heart wrenched at the thought of Anne. Subconsciously, he clutched at
his lapel.
Tessa nodded. She answered, "That's right. I was working at the Becketts'
Seaview Manor 20 years ago. I was the late Mrs. Beckett, Mr. Jasper's mother,
Anne Bartley's helper. I was responsible for looking after Madam Anne's daily
living."
This name had been buried for 20 years. It was the name of someone who was
no longer around. It was now a name that was unfamiliar to most.
Though, Jasper was an exception. His eyes turned red, and they welled up. The
tears in his eyes toned down the burning hatred in his eyes.
Simon scoffed. He thought that they had just gotten a nobody to take the witness
stand. To him, they were just being desperate and were merely complicating
matters.
"I have a question for the plaintiff's attorney. How is your witness relevant to this
case?"

Upon hearing that, Simon couldn't hide the look of disdain on his face.
However, his smugness didn't last for long. What Sean said next made his and
everyone else's jaws drop.
"But, she is someone who is able to testify to Sophia's involvement with a murder
that happened 20 years ago."
