Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

There was an uproar in the courtroom. This took the entire nation by surprise!
In an instant, all the blood had drained from Javier's face. He felt as if his seat
had been set ablaze. Without a care for anything else, he shot to his feet. He
looked at Sophia in disbelief.
Anne... Didn't she commit suicide because she had severe depression? Why had
it become a homicide?
How could Sophia be the murderer? She was the woman with whom he had
shared the same bed for 20 years!
"I. 1 didn't. It wasn't me!" Sophia met Javier's gaze. She shook her head while
crying.
Jasper diverted his cold gaze toward Javier slowly. He noticed that Javier's face
was as pale as a sheet. Deep down, Jasper was full of bitterness and
resentment. He couldn't help but let out a piercingly cold sneer.
Javier was a frigid man. Until now, Jasper had never seen him express any
heartbrokenness over Anne. But, more than that, he felt doubtful.
Javier wasn't feeling disturbed because of his love for Sophia. He was merely
unwilling to accept that he had trusted the wrong person. He couldn't believe that
he had been married to a murderer for 20 years!
Simon's ears had started ringing. He felt as if he had been hit at the back of his
head with a hammer.
Without a doubt, Sean had taken him by surprise. Throughout his years of
experience, he had never seen a situation as such. This was a trial for murder-
for-hire. How did Jasper's mother's case become entangled in this?
If Sophia had indeed committed murder, he would also be implicated. His name
would end up being dragged through the mud.
So, Simon shouted in an urgent voice, "Judge Lynch! This witness has nothing to
do with this case. She should be impeached!"
While Steven was hesitating, Sean took the opportunity to chime in, "Judge
Lynch, according to the defense attorney's claim earlier, it was impossible for
Sophia to murder the victim. The reason was that she was an educated and
highly moral woman. She is also the wife of a plutocrat.
"However, the witness I've summoned can testify that the defense attorney's
claims were deceiving. He only said that so that the defendant could be
acquitted.
"This means that this witness’ statement isn't completely irrelevant to the case.
Her statement can become a reference point in this case!"
Finally, Steven gave in. He nodded slightly and said, "Then, counsel, you may
both proceed with questioning the witness."
Simon was so pissed off that his expression had turned dark.
Tessa took a peek at Jasper sitting solemnly in the gallery. She was reminded of
his intimidation. She didn't dare to hide anything any longer.
She revealed everything about the hidden past. She said, "Back then... I looked
after Madam Anne's day-to-day life. I did this under Mr. Javier's orders. At that
time, Sophia was just Mr. Javier's mistress.
"She then became pregnant with his child. Because of that, she was temporarily
accepted into the Beckett family. Even so, Mr. Beckett Senior hadn't truly
acknowledged her."
Sophia's face flushed red at the word "mistress". It was as if her shame was
written all over her face. She couldn't help but roar angrily, "Who did you just call
a 'mistress'? Who were you referring to?
"I wasn't a mistress! I am legitimately Mrs. Beckett! I am Javier Beckett's wife!
Anne was the one who was the mistress! She was the one who stole my man!"
Javier's expression was foreboding. He wished that he could order one of his
men to rush forward and shut Sophia up!
Why didn't he cherish Anne when she was by his side? She was such a gentle
and virtuous woman. Instead, he had gotten himself involved with an ungrateful
woman whose desires could never be placated!
"She's mad. She's delusional.”
Sophia had a vile look on her face. Alyssa stared at her coldly. She shook her
head and mocked, "She was the one who stole from others. Yet, she's insisting
that he was hers.
"I'm amazed at how shameless she is. It's no wonder she could bow and scrape
to stay on with your family. She was even willing to be with Javier without getting
married to him."
"Her subservience was just a guise back then. Mom wouldn't have died such a
horrible death if Sophia was truly willing to yield."
Jasper's heart was pained. The gaze in his eyes remained dark and wintry, just
like a deep body of water that was frozen over with ice.
"She can have all of Javier as much as she likes. He's a hypocrite. He doesn't
deserve my mother's love."
From the side, Alyssa looked deeply at Jasper. She noticed the determination on
his face, but she couldn't quite put into words how she truly felt.
She compared her circumstances and her parents with Jasper's. There was no
question that she was in a way better situation than him.
That being said, she was still unable to tell how sincere Winston was with her
mother, even till now. If his love for her was really as deep as the sea, shouldn't
she have been the only one he loved?
Steven hammered his gavel once again. He reminded coldly, "Please calm down,
defendant. Do not cause such a ruckus!"

"So, she threatened me. She made me swap Madam Anne's depression
medication for regular vitamins. Her goal was to cause Madam Anne's mental
condition to worsen. Through this, she wanted to make Mr. Javier detest Madam
Anne."
"You're lying! I've never instructed you to do such a thing! You're making false
accusations!" Sophia was livid. At the same time, she felt incredibly guilty.

"I didn't. I didn’t! Shut the hell up!"
"In order to get rid of Madam Anne completely... You were no longer satisfied with
replacing her depression medication. Instead, you instructed me to poison her!"
At this point, Tessa was so agitated that she stood up and pointed at Sophia.
"At that time, I was scared. I was so fearful, so I backed out. You couldn't wait
any longer, and you ended up killing Madam Anne on your own!
"A long time ago, I worked at a pharmacy in a clinic. You didn't know this, but I
saw the poison that you prepared for Madam Anne. It was fentanyl!"
