Alyssa wore light makeup for the trial and a white pantsuit with her self-designed sapphire brooch on the chest.
She carried herself with elegance and class.
Jasper stood tall beside her in a smart and tailored black suit, accentuating his figure and authority.
They took the seats in the first row. The aisle seemed like a huge divide that set them apart from the Becketts.
"Dad, look what Jasper is doing! What's in his mind?" Betty did not miss the chance to drive a wedge between the father and son. "How dare he stand on our opposite and sit with the Taylors as the president of the Beckett Group? He's humiliating you and making the Beckett Group a laughingstock!" Javier gritted his teeth as he fumed with resentment.
"Lyla, the day has finally arrived." Colene clasped Lyla's hand and teared up when she thought back on Lyla's suffering.

She set an icy gaze on the defendant's seat.
Alyssa overheard the conversation among her three stepmothers. Instead of feeling relieved, she grappled with a heavier heart.
This was the final showdown, and she would not back off. She would not be satisfied with a 10-year, 20year, or even a life sentence for Sophia. She wanted Sophia to be handed the death sentence, for she wanted an eye for an eye.
Each of her movements tugged at Jasper's heartstrings. Soon, he picked up on her anxiety and hurriedly held her hand. Then, their fingers interlocked.
He comforted her, "Lyse, don't panic. We need to have trust in Steven and Sean. We will win this fight." She looked up into his alluring eyes as her racing heart gradually calmed down.
"Jonah, don't you have an important meeting to attend at the KS Group? Why did you show up? What about the company?" Cyrus questioned with an astonished expression.
