There was an uproar in the courtroom.

This took the entire nation by surprise! In an instant, all the blood had drained from Javier's face.

He felt as if his seat had been set ablaze.

Without a care for anything else, he shot to his feet.

He looked at Sophia in disbelief.

Anne...

Didn't she commit suicide because she had severe depression? Why had it become a homicide? How could Sophia be the murderer? She was the woman with whom he had shared the same bed for 20 years! "I.

I didn't.

It wasn't me!" Sophia met Javier's gaze.

She shook her head while crying.

Jasper diverted his cold gaze toward Javier slowly.

He noticed that Javier's face was as pale as a sheet.

Deep down, Jasper was full of bitterness and resentment.

He couldn't help but let out a piercingly cold sneer.

Javier was a frigid man.

Until now, Jasper had never seen him express any heartbrokenness over Anne.

But, more than that, he felt doubtful.

Javier wasn't feeling disturbed because of his love for Sophia.

He was merely unwilling to accept that he had trusted the wrong person.

He couldn't believe that he had been married to a murderer for 20 years! Simon's ears had started ringing.

He felt as if he had been hit at the back of his head with a hammer.
