Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue
Chapter 1527

Sophia reminisced about her life. She had lived a glorious life. However, to achieve that, she alwayshad to sacrifice a person to reach a greater height.

Anne Bartley was her first victim. Never had she thought that the woman, who was dead for twodecades, would be the nail in her coffin.

Sophia had long regretted killing Anne. Anne didn't have to die. Keeping Anne around wouldn'thave affected anything.

However, Sophia acted like she was under a spell at that time. She harbored a strong resentmentagainst Anne. On top of that, she banked on Javier's affection and acted lawlessly, thinking that shecould do anything she liked under his protection.

Alas, Javier's love was nothing but an illusion.

Sophia pulled her hair out and held strands of gray hair in her hands. The pain kept her sober. Shehad finally seen through Javier's selfishness and heartlessness.

He had never loved her. She didn't believe he loved Anne either. Otherwise, why would he easilybelieve that Anne had taken her own life?

Sophia widened her bloodshot eyes. Like a madwoman, she repeatedly mumbled, "Javier Beckett...One day, karma will get you. You'll pay for your heartlessness! I'll watch that from the heavens!"One day, Sophia had visitors at the prison.

"Kirkman, you have visitors."

As Sophia was a convicted felon, she wore handcuffs and ankle cuffs when she was led into thevisitation room

Due to the mental pressure and the strain of the dim environment on her eyes, she suffered from adrastic decline in her eyesight. She couldn't make out people or things that were ten feet away.She stood there like a skeleton with a blank expression. Feeling utterly dejected, she wanted todecline the visit now that no one cared about her.

Still, she was curious about the identity of the visitors who would take the time to visit her.

"Who are you?"

"Mom..."

Sophia's dull eyes wavered. Then, she stumbled to the glass window that separated her from thevisitors, accompanied by the rattling sounds of her ankle cuffs.

Her vision finally focused on Lauren's fair face.

She widened her eyes as she pressed her bony hands against the wall with might. She gaped. Aftera while, she cautiously asked, "L-Lauren? Is that you? Are you Lauren?"

Lauren teared up when she met Sophia's eyes. The latter looked nothing like before.

Lauren nodded.

Landon stood beside her. He quickly wrapped an arm around her trembling shoulders and gentlycaressed them

He couldn't believe that the disheveled woman with grey hair was once the dazzling and youthfulwife of Javier Beckett.

Sophia's chest rose and fell violently. Her lips quivered as tears streamed down her cheeks. "Mr.Landon, you know about Lauren's condition, don't you? Why would you bring her to such adepressing place?"

Frowning, Landon was about to speak, but Lauren was ahead of him. She clarified, "I asked Landonto bring me here."

"Lauren..." Sophia sobbed uncontrollably. "I knew you were the nicest and kindest kid! I knew youwould feel sorry to see me go..."

In the next second, Sophia's reignited flame of hope was mercilessly put out by Lauren's pointedremark.

Lauren explained, "I visit you not because I've forgiven you."

Then, she inhaled sharply, tears of anger brimming in her eyes. "I just wanted to know why you'dhurt the innocent. Jasper has always been good to me. How could you be so cruel as to kill hismom? Why?"
