"It's fine if you say that. The deceased fell to her death. Even though my client
was at the scene, there is no one who can prove that my client has anything to
do with the victim's death.”
Upon saying that, Simon looked at Steven with a serious look. "Judge Lynch, the
witness whom the plaintiff's attorney summoned, is in no way a direct witness in
this case.
"Moreover, the witness vanished for 20 years before coming out to give her
statement. It has been 20 years. Wouldn't her memory already be fuzzy? Might
she have colluded with someone else in secret? Her statement is unreliable!"
There was pin-drop silence in the room. Furious, everyone looked toward
Simon's despicable-looking side profile.
Sophia hung her head low. She was trying her best to control her facial
expressions, so much so that the muscles on her face were beginning to spasm.
She was terrified. She was worried that she'd suddenly lose control and burst out
laughing.
She thought to herself, "Anne, you bitch! You couldn't even beat me while you
were alive. Did you think that you'd be able to win after you died? What a joke!"
They had come to a dead end. Sean's eyes were bloodshot with fury. He sat
back down, albeit feeling dissatisfied. The Taylors really felt like ripping Sophia
apart.
"Damn it! Why do we have to go through all this trouble? We should've sent
someone to the detention center in the first place. Then, have them strangle her
in there, just like how David was dealt with. Or, they should just dunk her head in
the toilet bowl and make her drown!"
Colene was up in arms. "Not only that, Simon's breath stinks like shit! I wasn't
cruel enough. I should cut off his tongue so that he can no longer speak!"
Mandy's heart ached over what Anne went through. She shook her head and
sighed, "It is too easy to get rid of someone. If this continues, no one in the world
would ever know the truth behind Jasper's mother's death. Then, he wouldn't be
able to seek justice for his mother, who had died unjustly."
"Not just that, Javier would also never regret his heartlessness and foolishness,"
Lyla said coldly.
Mandy raised the corner of her lip in disdain. She said frigidly, "Now that it has
come to this, Jasper no longer cares what Javier thinks. Javier didn't even bother
to ensure that his beloved wife's cause of death was properly investigated.
"He then blindly became married to a murderer for 20 years. What do you think
he'd do even if he knew the truth? He's such an arrogant man. I don't think that
he'd feel much regret.
"If I were Ms. Bartley, I couldn't care less even if Javier came to my grave to beg
for forgiveness! He'd just be a nuisance to me!"
Even at this critical juncture, Jasper maintained a calm expression. He looked so
calm that it was so nerve-racking to watch.
Then, he turned his gaze slowly toward Silas, the prosecutor.
The direct examination and cross-examination segments were over.
Initially, Sean thought that he had turned the tide. Contrary to his expectation,
Simon had pushed back.
