"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. | 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 takedown. How dare you think of winning againstin court by asking that stupid question? Only a fool would admit to murder." "No! | can't even hurt a fly. | 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, "Askas 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, | 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 tidy 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.

Even when Sophia was under detention, she had entrusted the matter under Betty's care. How did the plaintiff's defense get their hands on Tessa and make her testify in court? She thought, "This must be a hoax. Sean must have hired an actress to play Tessa." A thought suddenly occurred to Sophia. She turned her bloodshot eyes in Jasper's direction. It so happened that Jasper was staring at her with a burning, unreadable gaze.

Things finally fell into place for Sophia. Jasper must have forced Tessa to testify against Sophia after quietly removing the men Sophia had hired to monitor Tessa.

No one except Jasper would pull off such a decisive and calculative move.
