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!
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…"
Tessa ended up bawling at this point. She continued, "And then… Then, Madam had fallen. You then ran out of her room in panic. If it wasn't you who killed Madam Anne, who else could it have been?"
"That's rubbish! Everything you said was rubbish! She was the one who jumped on her own volition! You claim to be the witness, but I was the one who witnessed it! I saw her jump with my own eyes!"
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!

The readers' comments on the novel: Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
seems to have come to a halt useless...
Where are the chapters please ? Over a week no updates....
Just tell me where to purchase the book I definitely will buy it...
Need more chapters please...
It’s dwindled down to 1 page a day??...
7 chapters a day would be great...
I am trying to figure out why an author writes one page and it is suppose to be a chapter and then the author gets the audience hooked on the story and just drags it on. Follow the rules please, and at least give the 7 chapters daily. Two chapters every other day is a waste of time. Or just release the book and give us the option to buy it....
Ughhh…can we get more pleeeease! I’m so into this book and literally check daily for updates but it’s only two pages at most. Can you at least do 4 pages a night 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽...
More chapters please the 7 chapters/day would be nice, TY...
Where can i download the remaining chapters?...
