Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1482

Tessa conveyed everything that she knew. She had just let out her anguish and frustration, which she had suppressed for 20 years. After that, she slumped back into the chair. She was drenched in sweat.

At this moment, she felt guilty. She regretted it from the bottom of her heart. She hated herself for being 20 years late in revealing the truth.

If only she hadn't been so greedy at the time. If only she could've been brave enough to withstand Sophia's threats and testify that she had murdered Anne.

If so, Anne could've rested in peace. As for herself, she wouldn't have had to be away from home and suffer for 20 years.

She was really foolish back then. Sophia was just Javier's mistress at that time. Why did she have to fear such a lowly woman?

If Javier and Anne reconciled, there was no way that Sophia would've become Javier's wife. She wouldn't even have remained in the Beckett family.

Sophia might have been carrying Javier's child, but she would've ended up having to leave. Only her child would be allowed to stay.

That being said, it was all too late.

The Taylors were seated in the gallery. They heard the cruel truth and empathized with Jasper and Anne. It was as if they had just witnessed the entire process of Jasper's mother's death.

Mandy, Colene, Lyla, and Tatiana already had tears streaming down their faces. Cyrus had a glum expression on his face. Even Jonah, who was usually as cool as a cucumber, was also on the verge of tears.

He and his brothers, along with Alyssa, lost their mother at a young age. However, they were more blessed compared to Jasper. It wasn't the most painful thing to experience losing their mother to illness.

The greatest pain was when one's mother died an unjust death and couldn't rest in peace.

"Judge Lynch, I have a few questions for the witness regarding this case." Simon stood up. His gaze was dark.

Sean lifted his hand and interrupted in a deep voice, "Judge Lynch, I object! The defense just made a call for speculation using the straw man fallacy!"

Steven responded, "Defense, please refrain from speculative questions.

Simon scoffed. He then continued, "In other words, the witness never actually saw my client commit any so-called murder. Her statement can only prove that my client was the last person to see the deceased. She may be a suspect, but she cannot assume that my client is the murderer.

"Furthermore, you said that my client plotted to poison the deceased. You also said that the poison used was fentanyl. However, fentanyl isn't poison at all. It is a common analgesic. This drug can even be obtained in clinics overseas. It is a completely legal drug."

"Even though fentanyl is an analgesic, it is common knowledge that a slight increase in dosage would be sufficient to cause death."

Sean thought that he was simply quibbling. Immediately, he argued back angrily, "This drug is highly dangerous as long as it can cause death. Defense, you should be speaking facts. You shouldn't be twisting other people's words!"
