Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

"Of course, Your Honor." Sean regained his composure and cast a loaded look at
Alyssa and Jasper's direction.
The couple gave him a stern nod, after which he proceeded to land a sharp gaze
on Sophia, "Sophia Kirkman, you claim that you have never committed murder. I
will repeat my question to you. Are you telling the truth? This is your last chance
at coming clean.”
Simon nearly burst out laughing at Sean's crude tactics. He glanced disdainfully
at his silly brother, thinking, "Sean, you are too inexperienced to take me down.
How dare you think of winning against me in court by asking that stupid
question? Only a fool would admit to murder.”
"No! I can't even hurt a fly. I would never murder a human being," Sophia
confirmed while her mind whirled.
Thinking back about the past, she had always instructed others to do the dirty
work for her. Given her stature, she would never dirty her hands. Therefore, she
announced confidently, "Ask me as many times as you want. My answer remains
the same—I have never killed!"
"Great." Sean looked away from her and addressed the judge, "Your Honor, I
would like to call a new witness to testify in Sophia Kirkman's contract killing
case."
The audience exchanged curious looks upon hearing Sean's remark. Sophia's
heart raced as she turned to Simon in a panic.
Simon, meanwhile, was confused by Sean's approach. However, he kept his
composure. As a veteran in court, he was confident in solving any crisis that
arose.
Steven nodded with a serious face. "Bring in the new witness."
The heavy doors groaned and creaked. A tired-looking woman with gray hair
appeared in everyone's vision. The middle-aged woman was dressed in a rather
frumpy and even ragged outfit.
Sophia twisted in panic when she set sight on that ordinary-looking woman. She
collapsed against the dock railing, making a loud rattling noise. Had she not held
tightly to the railing, she would not be able to prop herself up.
The new witness, Tessa Flores, was the maid she had discreetly dispatched to
Rolanda. Why would Tessa show up in court? Puzzled, Sophia thought she had
hired people to keep tabs on the maid every year.
