In the audience's seat-
Florence held her face and stared at Sissi, who was testifying in court, as she talked to her family. "I didn't expect that she would be so sensible at the critical moment. She knows which side to choose."
Gramps Hopper said solemnly, "She's not someone who has her own opinion. Otherwise, she wouldn't have..."
Florence asked, "Grandpa, what wouldn't she have done?"
However, Gramps Hopper didn't say anything. He probably thought Sissi was not worth mentioning.
Granny Hopper said kindly, "Your grandfather means that it's Sissi's ability to meet both sides. But it's also because she doesn't have a firm standpoint that she ended up like this."
Florence nodded and sighed with emotion, "Yes, she wants the best for herself every time. But how can anything good happen to her?"
On the other side of the audience's seats, the atmosphere of the Quartley family was very low.
A DNA report that proved that Sawyer had nothing to do with Amelia, coupled with Sissi's fall out, made them angry and helpless.
They couldn't help looking at Sawyer. Being betrayed by Sissi in public was definitely a big blow to him.
Even Kaiden, who remained neutral, showed deep sympathy on his face.
However, what they didn’t know was that Sawyer's feelings for Sissi had faded a long time ago. If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to use her to spread the news, he wouldn't even bother to pretend to be in love with her. In other words, he no longer had any expectations for her, so he wouldn't be sad.
However, did Sissi think that if she revealed what he had done, she would have a good ending?
Stupid!
She was present as a witness today, as if she had forgotten that she used to be a bystander to Amelia's difficult situation and stepped on her when she was down. Wasn't it easy for him to drag her down?
"Haha..." All of a sudden, Sawyer burst into a burst of inexplicable laughter, which made everyone put their attention on him, including Sissi. However, deep in her eyes, there was only fear and... faint pleading.
She hoped that Sawyer would let her off, but unfortunately, Sawyer was no longer the same as he used to be. "Don't you know why I kidnapped Amelia?"
Hearing this, all the hairs on Sissi's body stood on end. "I don't know what you're talking about!"
Sawyer looked at her and said word by word, "If you weren't jealous of Amelia, I wouldn't have tied her up for you to vent your anger."
"By the way, I almost forgot Eve, the hostess of the Hopper family, who also wished she could die without a burial place. It's all thanks to her that I could take Amelia away from her wedding. I wonder how she is doing now."
As soon as they heard Eve's name, the members of the Hopper family looked a little unhappy. Sawyer just wanted to fight a life-and- death battle when he knew that there was no way to clear his name.
However, they didn't mean to help Eve prove her innocence. Otherwise, they would have bailed her out, and Howard wouldn't have sent her a divorce agreement.
On this matter, the Hopper family would not leave a single word behind, nor would they let Amelia down.
Sissi's whole body trembled and the corners of her mouth twitched as if something had happened. She thought that she must have been tricked again. Patrick had never thought of letting her go. What he wanted was to kill two birds with one stone! First, he would use her to reveal what Sawyer had done, and he would drag her down together so that she would end up like Sawyer!
However, it was too late for her to go back and help Sawyer testify! She had already made it impossible to turn the situation around!
"Witness?" Seeing that she was stunned, the judge couldn't help but remind her.
Sissi came to her senses and wanted to say something, but she couldn't make a sound. The contemptuous, hateful, and ruthless eyes around her finally forced her tears out.
She regretted it. She shouldn't have provoked these two terrible men after returning from abroad!
In the past, when they were still students, they were like two young birds that had yet to learn how to fly. They naturally attached themselves to her, who was elder, and allowed her to easily control them in her hands.
But later, as they grew up, she was tripped by an unfortunate marriage. She gradually became short-sighted. They were in different worlds, but she still thought that they must still remember her.
They did remember her. To be exact, they remembered her beautiful appearance. When everything was no longer their fantasy, she was destined to be forgotten.
What's more, they later met Amelia, a woman who was younger, more independent, and more loyal than her. It was ridiculous that she had always been unwilling to face reality. She always felt that Amelia was just lucky. She happened to run into them when she was not with them, so she could take advantage of the opportunity to get closer to them. As a result, the facts hit her in the face again and again, and she had to wake up.
Tears streamed down Sissi's face, and she felt indescribably painful and dispirited. When the nestling had grown into an eagle, she was no longer the ruler, but a prey...
In the end, all her words were combined into one sentence,"... I admit defeat."
