Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

It was good news, but the air grew heavy. After a pause, Alyssa revealed calmly,
"Cyrus told me that Sophia went berserk before the death sentence. She peed
herself and couldn't walk straight. They had to drag her to the execution
chamber. It was such a cathartic scene.”
Jasper finally croaked, "Was it by lethal injection or firing?"
"Lethal injection.” She looked deep into his eyes. The corner of her lips lifted.
"Firing would have been too merciful for her. She struggled in pain for ten
minutes until her heart stopped.
"She was strapped to a chair by the time of her death, limbs stiff and face
contorted. The short ten minutes of torture might not be enough to make up for
what she did to Anne, but at least justice was served.”
Jasper lowered his gaze. The news stirred complicated emotions in him.
Sophia Kirkman was dead. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
He should have applauded in glee, but he did not feel as excited as he thought
he would be since the case had dragged out for too long.
"After her death, the court informed Javier to claim her body for cremation. Since
they weren't divorced, he was legally her husband. But he refused to show up.
The court had no choice but to proceed with the cremation itself," added Alyssa.
With a smirk, she taunted, "As a husband, Javier refused to send Sophia on her
final journey, even after she had mothered his children. How sad!"
"Hmph! If he dares to claim her body, he'd better step out of the chairman role.
He should go do something else instead.” Newton's eyes flashed with emotions.
He slapped his thigh and said, "No matter what, I'm thrilled that Jasper has
gotten his revenge. Ben, tell the chef to whip up more dishes tonight. We'll pop a
fine wine to celebrate the occasion!"
In a good mood, Ben chuckled. "Yes. I'll get the chef to work on it."
"By the way, get someone to look around for some fireworks. Buy some for us to
set off," Newton ordered.
Jasper found the idea comical. "Grandpa, you don't have to. Besides, how will
you find fireworks in the middle of nowhere? Don't give Ben trouble.”
"Ben, there's a shop selling fireworks at Pelham Street. It's three miles away from
the villa. I frequently bought fireworks for Grandpa there in the past. Send
someone there right now. The shop must still be open," Alyssa informed Ben with
a smile.
Jasper glanced at her in astonishment. Did she frequently buy fireworks for
Newton? Why wasn't he aware of it?
Ben gave her a thumbs-up. "Ms. Alyssa, nobody knows Mr. Newton as well as
you. You're not just a granddaughter-in-law to him; you're almost like his
granddaughter!"
Hearing that, Alyssa shyly clasped her hands and blushed, unlike her usual
relaxed self.

"She's kept me company through lonely times. Too bad I couldn't do more for her
because my time is nearly up. You need to treat her well on my behalf."
"Grandpa..." Jasper held his breath and choked up.

While she was speaking, a tall figure appeared in front of her.
