"Just wait and see. One day..." Betty's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of
footsteps. Javier and Betty spun around to look at the visitors, only for their faces
to fall.
Jasper and Alyssa had showed up at court, followed by a few members of the
Taylor family—Jonah Cyrus, Tatiana, and Winston's three wives. They expressed
their support for the victim through their actions.
Landon would have shown up to express his support at such a critical time, but
he decided to keep Lauren company at home because the case involved
Lauren's mother. He worried Lauren might suffer a breakdown when she learned
about the details.
Betty clenched her jaw as her eyes rested on Alyssa, but the latter did not pay
any attention to her at all. With no way to release her anger, Betty raged on
silently.
Alyssa wore light makeup for the trial and a white pantsuit with her self-designed
sapphire brooch on the chest. She carried herself with elegance and class.
Jasper stood tall beside her in a smart and tailored black suit, accentuating his
figure and authority.
They took the seats in the first row. The aisle seemed like a huge divide that set
them apart from the Becketts.
"Dad, look what Jasper is doing! What's in his mind?" Betty did not miss the
chance to drive a wedge between the father and son. "How dare he stand on our
opposite and sit with the Taylors as the president of the Beckett Group? He's
humiliating you and making the Beckett Group a laughingstock!"
Javier gritted his teeth as he fumed with resentment.
"Lyla, the day has finally arrived." Colene clasped Lyla's hand and teared up
when she thought back on Lyla's suffering.
Lyla inhaled deeply and gave her a light nod with a nervous heart. Anne and Nina
had been waiting for this day, just like she did.
She had never dreamed that she would see Sophia in court for the judgment.
Putting aside the outcome, she was glad to see Sophia held accountable.
"Karma is real. Sophia will receive her punishment for the crimes she
committed," Mandy comforted Lyla gently as she clasped Lyla's free hand.
She set an icy gaze on the defendant's seat.
Alyssa overheard the conversation among her three stepmothers. Instead of
feeling relieved, she grappled with a heavier heart.

This was the final showdown, and
she would not back off. She would
not be satisfied with a 10-year,
20Qyear, or even a life sentence for
Sophia. She wanted Sophia to be
handed the death sentence, for she
wanted an eye for an eye. The
