Except for the audience members hired by Javier, every other individual in the public gallery directed hateful looks at Sophia. Even Betty glared disdainfully at Sophia, who had always been thinking of ways to sell her off.

Sophia had made the necessary preparations for her court appearance. She had asked to use the restroom before the trial, where she touched up her face to make herself appear like a pale, tortured woman. Topped with her pitiful look, she could convince almost anyone.

As expected, when Javier met her pleading gaze, he was instantly transported back to the day of their first encounter. His steeled heart started to waver.

"You evil bitch! | want you to take responsibility for killing Nina! An eye for an eye!" Gemma struggled to keep her emotions in check when Sophia showed up. Quivering, she growled and sobbed, touching the hearts of the audience.

However, Sophia, acting like she was innocent, teared up and shook her head helplessly. Whatever happened in the public trial would be captured by the media. Thus, Sophia considered it a theatrical play, where she took the lead role.

Before the trial, Simon had promised her with confidence that she would not be charged. All she needed to do was to cooperate with him and act her part.

"Madam, calm down! Take a deep breath!" Sean rushed over to Gemma.

Alyssa, noticing that Gemma had turned white in a seizure-like attack, stood up and yelled, "Get the emergency oxygen! Ms. Pell is about to go into shock. She needs oxygen!" The security staff followed her instructions and administered oxygen to Gemma, which helped to alleviate the symptoms.

At that moment, the presiding judge, Steven Lynch, appeared in a judge's robe and took his seat. He felt a little bitter at the sight of the faceoff between Simon and | court.

"Wow, the presiding judge is Steven Lynch, the second Lynch son!" Colene shook Mandy's shoulders. Mandy nearly barfed from all the shaking.

Colene continued, "Mandy, do you think Steven Lynch would give Sean trouble? Is there anyone decent in the Lynch family apart from Sean? | highly doubt that!" Mandy patted Colene's hand and addressed her sternly, "It should be fine. I looked into Steven's history, and he's worked his way up from the professional exams to beca judge without any help from his father.

"He does not have any history of getting cozy with the tycoons. He certainly sounds much better than his dad! | believe he'll uphold justice in this case." The highly anticipated trial finally commenced.

"The First Circuit Court of Solana City will hold a trial today in accordance with the law on the charges brought against defendants Jeffrey Snyder and Sophia Kirkman for contract killing. The plaintiff's defense will present the case next." As Gemma was in her 80s, she had exhausted all her energy just by showing up in court. Sean had to speak on her behalf.

In court, Sean transformed from a secretary to a professional attorney and effectively summarized the case in his opening statement. Then, he presented the plaintiff's claims, demanding justice for the victim.
