Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

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.

Alyssa and Jasper guessed that he was surely going to create trouble. In order to
secure his own future, he had to do all he could to side with Sophia. This was
something that they had already expected. Even so, they still felt their chests
tighten.

Steven nodded with a serious look on his face. "Go ahead."

Simon walked to the front of Tessa. The way he stared at her was enough to
send chills down one's spine. "Ms. Flores, you accused my client of being Anne
Bartley's murderer. May I ask if you have actually witnessed her pushing Anne
Bartley down?

"You only have to answer yes or no. There's no need for further elaboration."
Sean knitted his brows together tightly. He clenched his fists.

Tessa could only answer with honesty, "No, I didn’t. But I clearly heard that..."
Simon slammed the table, making Tessa jump. "There will be a sound whenever
objects knock into one another. People outside could have heard me slamming
the table. Would they also assume that I am committing a murder?"

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. The
