Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

The audience fell silent. Even those audience members hired by Javier to fill the
seats were affected by Sean's speech that explained the ordeal faced by Nina. In
the end, they cast disdainful and acrimonious looks at Sophia.
Once again, Alyssa was brought back to the scene of Nina's brutal death. Feeling
heartbroken, she covered her ears with her hands and shut her eyes tightly,
feeling like she was in an enclosed space. Sweat dotted her forehead as she
struggled to breathe.
"Lyse, don't think about it. I'm here for you," Jasper comforted her and pulled her
into a hug. He guided her to rest her forehead on his shoulder.
Although Nina wasn't Alyssa’s family, Alyssa's kind soul was irreparably scarred
and traumatized after witnessing Nina's death.
"Jasper... I feel like I'm at fault,” she sobbed and whispered in his ear.
Her words nearly broke his heart. Tearing up, he consoled her, "Don't say that.
Lyse, you're not at fault. The two people in the dock are the sinners.”
After Sean delivered his statement, it was the defendants’ turn to present theirs.
Sophia wept and emotionally delivered the statement Simon had prepared for
her. It turned out that her acting experience was surprisingly of use in court.
"Your Honor, for what reason would I kill a maid? I gain nothing from doing that!
Perhaps this all happened because of the personal grudge between Jeffrey
Snyder and Nina Carle, as they were colleagues of the same rank.
"Jeffrey must have abused his power and bullied the maids in the family because
he thought he was above them as my special assistant. Nina very likely rubbed
him wrong in private, and that's why he thought of killing her."
"Nonsense!" Jeffrey, who had turned a state witness, defended himself and
snapped, "Your Honor, Nina Carle had dirt on Sophia Kirkman. That's why
Sophia paid me off to get rid of Nina. She's the mastermind.
"I had no choice but to listen to her because of her power and status, or my life
will be in danger. Even when I was in the detention center, she attempted to hire
assassins to take my life. Look, there is still a scar on my neck!"
"That's slander! I shouldn't have hired you had I known you were a hooligan
abroad!" Sophia screamed at the top of her lungs as she engaged in a vicious
argument with Jeffrey.
Jeffrey retorted, "Betty Beckett left the house at the same time as me after you
gave out the orders. She must have known what you were up to."
The audience gasped and directed their attention to Betty's face, which had
turned white. Even Javier cast an astonished and doubtful look at her.
"N-No! I know nothing about it!" Betty shook her head in fear and anxiety, nearly
crying from the stress.

her. Betty worried that she might be

"The court is a serious place. Keep your voice down!" Steven shot an icy look at
Betty and banged his gavel twice.

At the same time, Alyssa and Jasper
exchanged complicated looks.
Jeffrey must have dragged Betty into

Anyway, they believed Betty would still be affected by Sophia's sentencing.
