Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1487

"No… No… No!"

Sophia shook the metal railing so much that they were rattling. She continued to protest. She looked at Silas with a ferocious look on her face.

She shouted, "Silas! You used false evidence to deceive me! As a prosecutor, how could you present false evidence? You were misusing your power! This is malpractice! Your evidence should be made inadmissible!"

Silas stared at her mockingly. He didn't look afraid of her at all.

It was indeed his dream to become a just prosecutor. This time, he had risked being suspended when he used false evidence to trick Sophia.

That said, he didn't regret it a single bit.

It didn't matter who it was who was seeking justice. It could've been someone other than Alyssa's lover. The victim could've been someone other than Jasper's mother. He would have done the same without any hesitation.

His duty wasn't merely to adhere to the procedures of a prosecutor but to ensure justice prevailed, even if it meant confronting the darkest truths at any cost.

"You're right in saying that the evidence was false. This medicine bottle is different from the one you had in the first place. Your prints were not on this bottle either.

"Nonetheless, you have confessed to murder. You admitted to pushing the victim downstairs. This is irrefutable evidence!

"No matter what evidence I presented or how I tried to deceive you, you wouldn't have said all these if you were truly innocent!

"You committed murder 20 years ago, and for 20 years, you've been the wife of a plutocrat. You didn't have to commit murder with your own hands. You could have always contracted a killer.

"You might not necessarily be sentenced to death for your crime this time. However, justice will prevail. Today, you must pay for the sin you committed 20 years ago!"

Silas' every word struck a chord in everyone's hearts.

Everyone in the gallery was silent. The reporters outside the courtroom also kept quiet. Even the viewers watching the livestream on the courthouse's official website paused.

The silence around them was deafening.

Right at this time, an ear-piercing screech came from the sound system on both sides of the courtroom.

Shortly after, a recording played through the sound system. It was the recording that Nina had risked her life to record.

Only a snippet—the most important part of the recording was played. Everyone recognized Sophia's voice immediately.

The Becketts and Alyssa's family recognized that the other voice belonged to Betty. Other than them, no one else could tell that the other person in the recording was Betty.

"What… What is this? How is this recording being played?"

The police officers headed to the AV room to have a look. The judges were shocked, too!

Steven was the only one with a calm expression on his face. As a judge, it was his duty to maintain order in the courtroom.

However, he chose to keep silent at this moment.
