Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue
Chapter 1534

It was good news, but the air grew heavy. After a pause, Alyssa revealed calmly, "Cyrus told me thatSophia went berserk before the death sentence. She peed herself and couldn't walk straight. Theyhad to drag her to the execution chamber. It was such a cathartic scene.”

Jasper finally croaked, "Was it by lethal injection or firing?"

"Lethal injection.” She looked deep into his eyes. The corner of her lips lifted. "Firing would havebeen too merciful for her. She struggled in pain for ten minutes until her heart stopped.

"She was strapped to a chair by the time of her death, limbs stiff and face contorted. The short tenminutes of torture might not be enough to make up for what she did to Anne, but at least justicewas served.”

Jasper lowered his gaze. The news stirred complicated emotions in him.

Sophia Kirkman was dead. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

He should have applauded in glee, but he did not feel as excited as he thought he would be sincethe case had dragged out for too long.

"After her death, the court informed Javier to claim her body for cremation. Since they weren'tdivorced, he was legally her husband. But he refused to show up. The court had no choice but toproceed with the cremation itself,” added Alyssa.

With a smirk, she taunted, "As a husband, Javier refused to send Sophia on her final journey, evenafter she had mothered his children. How sad!"

"Hmph! If he dares to claim her body, he'd better step out of the chairman role. He should go dosomething else instead.” Newton's eyes flashed with emotions.

He slapped his thigh and said, "No matter what, I'm thrilled that Jasper has gotten his revenge. Ben,tell the chef to whip up more dishes tonight. We'll pop a fine wine to celebrate the occasion!"

In a good mood, Ben chuckled. "Yes. I'll get the chef to work on it."

"By the way, get someone to look around for some fireworks. Buy some for us to set off,” Newtonordered.

Jasper found the idea comical. "Grandpa, you don't have to. Besides, how will you replace fireworks inthe middle of nowhere? Don't give Ben trouble.”

"Ben, there's a shop selling fireworks at Pelham Street. It's three miles away from the villa. Ifrequently bought fireworks for Grandpa there in the past. Send someone there right now. The shopmust still be open,” Alyssa informed Ben with a smile.

Jasper glanced at her in astonishment. Did she frequently buy fireworks for Newton? Why wasn't heaware of it?

Ben gave her a thumbs-up. "Ms. Alyssa, nobody knows Mr. Newton as well as you. You're not just agranddaughter-in-law to him; you're almost like his granddaughter!”

Hearing that, Alyssa shyly clasped her hands and blushed, unlike her usual relaxed self.

"Isn't that right? Alice is good to me. No one in the family does it better than her,” said Newton ashe fixed a disgruntled look on Jasper's face. "You little brat. I bet you have no idea about my habitsand my likes. Alice knows everything.

"In the three years you were married, she'd keep me company at Crescent Bay whenever she wasfree. I loved playing with fireworks, especially during the holidays. She'd fulfill all my requests."She's kept me company through lonely times. Too bad I couldn't do more for her because my timeis nearly up. You need to treat her well on my behalf."

"Grandpa..." Jasper held his breath and choked up.

"Grandpa, Jasper has always treated me well." Worried that Newton might overthink, Alyssa quicklyassured him with a playful smile, "Plus, I keep you company because it's what I love doing. I learnedso much from you. Every time, I show up just to learn your tricks. Hehe! I bet you've never noticed!"While she was speaking, a tall figure appeared in front of her.
