They had 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 have been too merciful for her. She struggled in pain for ten minutes until her heart stopped.
"She was strapped to a chair by the tof her death, limbs stiff and face contorted. The short ten minutes of torture might not be enough to make up for what she did to Anne, but at least justice was served." Jasper lowered his gaze. The news stirred complicated emotions in him.

He should have applauded in glee, but he did not feel as excited as he thought he would be since the case had dragged out for too long.
"After her death, the court informed Javier to claim her body for cremation. Since they weren't divorced, he was legally her husband. But he refused to show up. The court had no choice but to proceed with the cremation itself," added Alyssa.
With a smirk, she taunted, "As a husband, Javier refused to send Sophia on her final journey, even after 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 do something 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 >) on it." "By the way, get someone to look around for sfireworks. Buy sfor us to set off," Newton ordered.
Jasper found the idea comical. "Grandpa, you don't have to. Besides, how will you find fireworks in the 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. | frequently bought fireworks for Grandpa there in the past. Send someone there right now.

"Ms. Alyssa, nobody knows Mr. Newton as well as you. You're not just a granddaughter-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 as he fixed a disgruntled look on Jasper's face. "You little brat. | bet you have no idea about my habits and my likes. Alice knows everything.
"In the three years you were married, she'd keepcompany at Crescent Bay whenever she was free. | loved playing with fireworks, especially during the holidays. She'd fulfill all my requests.
"She's keptcompany through lonely times. Too bad | couldn't do more for her because my tis nearly up.
You need to treat her well on my behalf." "Grandpa..." Jasper held his breath and choked up.
"Grandpa, Jasper has always treatedwell." Worried that Newton might overthink, Alyssa quickly assured him with a playful smile, "Plus, | keep you company because it's what I love doing. | learned so much from you. Every time, | show up just to learn your tricks. Hehe! | bet you've never noticed!" While she was speaking, a tall figure appeared in front of her.
