Teresa sank into her seat, her legs almost giving out beneath her. She hated Irene so much it hurt. ‘If only it were Irene sitting in the defendant’s seat instead of Jennifer,‘ Teresa thought bitterly.

She thought, ‘I wish Irene could finally taste what it’s like to be hated and spat on by everyone. But sitting right next to that old hag is Jonathan.‘

It was only at this moment that Teresa finally glanced at him. This was the same Jonathan who had once crossed thousands of miles from Nareigh to Jarisburg just to see her. The same man who had almost killed Yalena by mistake.

The same Jonathan who had grown up fatherless, raised by his mother alone. And more than that, he

was the father of their children. He was also the one she kept buried deep in her heart, the one she

never dared to admit she loved.

Seeing the pain and restraint on Jonathan’s face, Teresa welled up with tears in her eyes. Suddenly realizing the gravity of the situation, she hurriedly tried to salvage things, turning anxiously to

Jennifer. “Apologize to her. Right now!”

Gary, standing nearby, quickly jumped in as well. “Jennifer, apologize to Irene. Just say you were joking earlier.”

Jennifer’s fists clenched so hard her knuckles cracked. She thought, ‘Me? Apologize to Irene? Yeah, right. If I could actually apologize to Irene, I wouldn’t be the one on trial right now.’

Since Jennifer was still refusing to apologize, her defense lawyer quickly spoke up, “Your Honor, my client was simply too impulsive. People blurt out all kinds of things they don’t mean when they’re

upset.”

“Wait a second,” the plaintiff’s lawyer jumped on that. “If she was really just acting on impulse, how come she couldn’t even say a single word of apology?

“Your Honor, Jennifer not only forged a DNA test and has zero respect for the law, but she even threatened to kill my client right here in court. Someone like this, who openly defies the law and shows no remorse at all, deserves a heavy sentence.”

If Jennifer really got hit with a heavy sentence, that was three years, minimum. Teresa got flustered. “She just blurted it out because she was upset. I’ll apologize to Irene for her…”

“Wait, no!” Jennifer finally spoke up, her fists clenched so tightly her knuckles turned white.

She felt so guilty and indebted to Teresa far more than she could ever make up for. There was no way

She locked her icy gaze on Irene, her eyes like frozen glass…utterly emotionless, not a trace of warmth

to be found.

“Sorry.” Jennifer forced the broken word out between clenched teeth, biting down so hard she could taste blood in her mouth.

Irene sneered, a cold smirk curling at the corner of her mouth. “What did you say? I didn’t hear a thing,” she taunted.
