"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! Yo

    Silas spoke with confidence. He watched Sophia with a piercingly sharp gaze. He looked as if he was able to see through her. His overbearance was not to be belittled. Sophia's heart was pounding. She felt a lump stuck in her throat. Even Simon felt his chest tighten. He had heard that Silas was the top prosecutor in Solana City. He was a stubborn man and extremely difficult to handle. The job of a prosecutor was very sensitive. They were people in a position of power. The powerful and wealthy often want a prosecutor or two on their side. This was so they could use the prosecutors at a crucial moment. Many prosecutors looked righteous. However, they would work for the tycoons in secret, with both parties reaping mutual benefits. As for Silas, he wasn't just born with an overwhelming sense of justice. He was even the second generation of a plutocrat.What would happen if anyone tried to bribe him? Hah, his pockets were so deep that they'd be suffocated! Silas presented new

    "I… I didn't. I didn't poison her!" Sophia was essentially being put on the spot. Silas disregarded her denial. He continued in a deep, cold voice, "At that time, you panicked. You fled from the crime scene. But you forgot to take this medicine bottle with you. "That year, the victim's death was determined to be a suicide. This made you let your guard down. You never went back to the scene to double-check. "The Beckett family figured that it was bad luck that someone had died in that room. So, they ended up locking the room up. Unexpectedly, this unintentional decision has helped the police preserve the crime scene to this day. "This medicine bottle used to contain the victim's depression medication. It was placed by her bedside. Its contents were swapped out. But there was some drug residue in the bottle. "We lifted samples for testing and found that it wasn't fentanyl. It was cyanide." Cyanide? That was the most poisonous of all poisons! Coming into contact with it woul

    It was because Sophia pushed Anne down. Sophia was a hypocritical, crafty, and villainous woman. She murdered the love of Javier's life. Yet, he was entirely in the dark. Not only that, he had kept the murderer by his side and protected her for 20 whole years! Sophia deserved to die, but Javier wasn't any better. Javier clenched his teeth, his gaze piercing straight at Sophia, who looked pale. His eyes were filled with hatred, and his heart ached.The evocation of Anne's presence haunted him. It was like a nightmare that he couldn't wake up from. Unconsciously, a tear trickled from the corner of his eye.Not a single tear was shed at Anne's funeral, yet at this moment, an overwhelming sense of grief washed over him. Despite that, it felt too late now; shedding tears seemed meaningless.Simon staggered backward. He looked at Sophia in extreme shock. He felt as if someone had pulled the rug from under his feet.At this very moment, he finally understood.From the very beginnin

    "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 a

    The corridor was previously empty. The loud footsteps of the Beckett family broke the silence in the hallway. Javier had a frosty expression on his face. His eyes were red. He was seething with rage as he strutted forward. The Beckett family members behind him held their breath. Rory followed closely behind Javier. He kept a straight expression on his face. But this hearing gave him an inexplicable feeling of relief in his heart.His heart harbored unspoken words for far too long.He had been in Javier's employ for a considerable time, witnessing Sophia's claim and enjoying everything that rightfully belonged to Anne. However, as a secretary, he could only go along with it. He had no other choice but to show respect to Sophia. This irked him. It made him feel indignant.Fortunately, justice prevailed. Even so, Rory pretended to be worried. He probed, "Mr. Javier, the verdict will be announced at 3:00 pm. Is there anything else that you need to get done before this? I can help

    "Everyone heard the recording played in the courtroom just now!" Javier was so pissed off that his breathing had become uneven. He growled, "Others might not have recognized your voice. But of course I could! "Right from the start… you were fully aware of Sophia's actions. You knew she hired a hitman! Not only did you conceal it from me, but you actively assisted her in keeping it a secret. You must be out of your mind!" Betty denied, "No… That's not it…""Don't you know that you were harboring a criminal? You are an accomplice! Did you want to follow in Sophia's footsteps and end up imprisoned?" Betty was scared shitless. She was flustered. She knelt by Javier's feet. Tear stains marked her face as she gazed up at him. She pleaded, "Dad! I was wrong. I now know that what I did was wrong! "All those things… She made me do them! She's my mother. Those things that she asked me to do, I didn't dare to go against her! I was too mindlessly obedient. I was dumb! "Please, I beg you

    The court session resumed at 3:00 pm sharp. The entire session was still being live-streamed. Everyone was now familiar with the presiding judge, the prosecutor, the plaintiff, and the defendant. In the morning, the public gallery was packed to the brim. Now, it was just Alyssa, Jasper, and their family and friends. The quietness was chilling. None of the other Becketts were present. Even Sophia's daughter, Betty, was too embarrassed to attend the session. Sophia and Jeffrey walked out one after another. Their hands were cuffed. Once again, they were led to their respective seats in humiliation. Metal railings separated Sophia and the rest of the courtroom. Her hair was in disarray. She was expressionless. She scanned the gallery with a blank look in her eyes. She observed that only the Taylor family remained. A twisted expression took over her face, and she couldn't help herself and burst out laughing. Steven frowned. He tapped the gavel. He coldly instructed, "Please be

    Sentenced to death… He was sentenced to death?Jeffrey's mind felt like it had been struck by a massive explosion. He couldn't hear what Steven was saying next, and he didn't want to either.He grabbed onto the railing and shouted hysterically, "How could I be sentenced to death? I'm not a citizen of your country! Are you bullying me because I don't understand the law?"Even if I'm sentenced to death, it shouldn't be by you. I should be deported back to my country and be judged by my country's court! You can't sentence me to death!"Steven glanced at Jeffrey's pale and sinister face with a faint smile, then coldly raised his voice. "You're talking to me about the law? Okay, I'll give you a simple lesson in law, then."According to the Diplomatic and Consular Immunity Act, the criminal responsibility of foreigners who enjoy diplomatic immunity is resolved through diplomatic channels. Jeffrey, what qualifications do you think you have to enjoy this right?"Furthermore, foreigners w

    "Jas…"Alyssa looked at Jasper with an unfocused gaze. Her breaths were shallow, and she was slipping in and out of consciousness. Mentally, she was confused. "Yes, it's me—Jasper!"Jasper's heart clenched as he saw the color drain from her face. Her body trembled uncontrollably, fragile as a leaf caught in the wind. She resembled the kitten he had saved as a child—frozen and alone in the alley that bitter winter night. A deep sorrow flooded his chest."Jas… per…" Alyssa murmured his name, her voice strained, her tongue numb from the cold.A faint, mocking smile tugged at the corners of her lips, and tears streamed down her cheeks. "It seems… like I am about… to freeze to death… How could he be here… He will not come back… He doesn't want me anymore…" Alyssa's vision blurred as her eyelids grew heavy. She began to lean, her body sagging to one side."Alyssa! Stay awake!" Jasper's heart was pierced, the pain unbearable as he saw the denial in her eyes. He forced himself to pu

    Elias frowned deeply; his worry etched onto his face. "We've been shouting Ms. Alyssa's name the whole way. With so many of us calling out, she should've heard us by now if she were nearby!"In a deep voice, Jasper said, "The wind is too strong, and then there's the heavy snowfall. Our voices are being drowned out. Lyse might not hear us at all."Lyse. Her nickname slipped from his lips before he even realized it."I'm just afraid she's injured—or worse, fainted. If she blacks out in this cold…" Elias trailed off, his voice heavy with dread. "On a day like this, she won't survive long. She'll freeze to death."The group exchanged uneasy glances, the reality of his words tightening their chests.It wasn't that Elias was being a doomsayer. Rather, this was the cruel reality that might actually happen. Crater Mountain claimed lives every year. Danger lurked unpredictably in the woods on the mountain—anything could unfold."Let's split up," Jasper commanded, his eyes fixed on t

    The snow was falling heavily, and the chilling winds howled through the night.Remy had no car, so he trudged through the snow alone, each step more exhausting than the last.His thoughts were consumed with Alyssa—was she still alive? In danger? And Jasper's unrelenting resolve to reach her, even after being shot and drenched in blood.Remy pressed his calloused, trembling hand to his chest. His heart hammered in his ribcage erratically.A sharp, searing pain shot through his temples, blurring his vision. He collapsed to his knees in the snow, his body racked with agony. The pain surged deep within him, and his eyes felt like they were going to burst from their sockets. It was unbearable.His breath came in ragged gasps. His hands scrambled for the necklace hanging from his neck—inside it was a hidden medicine box.Justin had told him that the medication in there could calm him down and relieve him of any pain. It would be able to save his life. But in his desperate haste, the

    As subtle as Remy's expressions were, Jasper still noticed them. A slight twinkle flashed across his eyes. He did not have the time to continue entertaining Remy. He clenched his teeth, turned around, and started running toward Crater Mountain. Nevertheless, he had barely taken a few steps when gunshots were fired at his feet. Even so, Jasper kept his eyes fixed ahead and did not stop. Just then, another gunshot rang out. It wasn't until a bullet hit him in his right shoulder that the pain caused him to stumble. He almost fell to the ground but forced himself to stay on his feet. It was fortunate that he was shot in his right shoulder this time. After all, his left shoulder could not be injured any further. Otherwise, his left shoulder would be left in complete disability."If you take another step, the next shot will be in your left leg," Remy warned mockingly. Yet, his gaze was firm and fiery. "Jasper, I don't suppose you want to end up like your older brother, living in

    A chill went down Jasper's spine. At that moment, staring down the barrel of the gun, one thought consumed him. It was the only thought that mattered—he had to stay alive to meet Alyssa!Jasper's mind raced. His gun was hidden under the driver's seat of his usual car, but today, he had taken a different sports car—one that wasn't equipped with a weapon. Panic gripped him for a split second before his instincts kicked in.The soldier within him stirred. Without warning, he jerked the steering wheel, ramming his car into Remy's.One of Remy's headlights was taken out and left rolling across the snow. All of a sudden, this prideful man was overwhelmed with anger. His eyes reddened with a strong sense of competitiveness, compelling him to pull the trigger. A shot rang out. The bullet sliced through the cold air, shattering Jasper's car window.From the very beginning, Remy hadn't intended to take Jasper's life. All Justin told him to do was to stop Jasper from meeting with Alys

    "Jasper, you are such a jerk. If anything bad happens to Ms. Alyssa, you will surely regret it. You will live in regret your entire life!" Sean yelled. …The temperature tonight was -4 degrees Fahrenheit. The snowstorm in the woods on the mountain was getting stronger and stronger. The winds were freezing and bone-piercing as they blew against Alyssa's face. Trees swayed dramatically in the screeching winds, creating an inexplicable creepy atmosphere that added a feeling of desolation to Alyssa's sorrowful and depressive mood. She braved the bone-piercing winds and faced the heavy snowfall. With the help of her trekking pole, she plodded forward one step at a time. She did not have a destination in mind. She did not know where she was heading. Her heart had shattered, and she was beside herself. The decreasing temperatures discouraged her and made her lose all her motivation. For someone who had lost their willpower, being in the woods under extreme weather conditions wa

    "Mr. Jasper, why do you say so?" Sheryl lifted her head and looked into Jasper's reddened eyes. She furrowed her brows and laughed out loud. "White Dove is from Solana City. This is also something that I wasn't able to predict. If I had known, I wouldn't have gotten you to make a trip here in vain, would I?" Sheryl was no longer that conniving bitch who used to act coy. Now, she had a powerful person backing her up. Jasper's violent rage did not scare her at all. "Why the hell didn't you say anything earlier?" Xavier marched forward furiously. He was even more inclined to serve her a slap. "Did you know that Mr. Beckett had an important date with Madam today? He only rushed her because of your stupid lead! Right now, you're telling us that White Dove isn't in Skydon but Solana City? What the heck are you scheming? Were you trying to ruin Mr. Beckett and Madam's date intentionally?" "Madam? Haven't Mr. Jasper and Ms. Alyssa broken up? Is it right for you to be referring to her

    The skies started to turn dark. Alyssa's dark hair was covered in a layer of snow. As she stood alone at the foot of the majestic mountain, she looked tiny, fragile, and desolate. "Ms. Alyssa, it's snowing. Heavy snowfall is forecasted tonight." Elias walked to Alyssa's side. Noticing the redness on her face due to the cold and the dull look in her eyes, he had a moment of realization. He couldn't help but feel a wave of sadness within him. "It's getting late. I suppose something came up for Mr. Beckett, and he's unable to make it." "Why didn't he inform me if that is the case?" Alyssa mumbled in a low voice as she gazed toward the darkness. She choked back on her tears so softly that her grievance couldn't really be heard through her voice. Elias slapped himself on his forehead. "Ah, perhaps you didn't manage to receive Mr. Beckett's message? The reception at the foot of the mountain isn't quite stable. You might have missed it. Would you like to come to my office? You'l

    Jasper held his breath. It felt as if his legs had been chained together. He was unable to move. Looking at a stiff Jasper from behind, Xavier noticed his shoulders trembling slightly. An ominous feeling rose within him. "What did you say?" Jasper questioned. He sounded as if he was forcing himself to hold himself back from getting emotional. "Mr. Justin once mentioned that you were saved by a female doctor when you were badly wounded on the battlefield many years ago. I heard that you have been searching for her and that you've been grateful toward her." Jasper's back stiffened up. He narrowed his eyes and asked in a frosty voice, "This is a private matter. Why would Justin have told you about it?" "Mr. Justin mentioned it to me because I also used to work as a doctor in Luminara. He was hoping that I could help with finding that woman. "I finally have news on her whereabouts now. Mr. Jasper, don't you want to see the White Dove again? She was the person who gave her all t
