All Chapters of If Life Had A Rewind Button: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

One of the police officers, Gordon Child, greeted Mr Phillips Senior with respect, then he introduced himself and his fellow police officer.Marvin looked at his father and said, “Dad, these officers are looking for Payton.” Mr Phillips Senior looked at Gordon Child and asked, “What are the charges, Officer Child?”Officer Child looked at Mr Phillips Senior and said, “Sir, we are here to apprehend Mr Payton Phillips for commercial fraud and misappropriating company funds.”Mr Phillips Senior was not surprised because his grandson had already told them. He looked at his son and said, “Marvin, please go to your son’s bedroom and fetch him.”Marvin was taken aback when he heard his father’s words. He thought his father would shield Payton from being arrested.In Payton’s bedroom, he was sitting beside the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the family photo album with bloodshot eyes. He didn’t even remember when someone took the family photo of the three of them.It was a beautiful photo.

Daniela stood up, then she approached Becky and asked, “In your opinion, do you think Miss Pearson was pushed by Mrs Phillips to commit such a crime?”Before Becky could respond, Mr Marcus stood up and said, “Objection, Your Honour.” Judge Cronje looked at Mr Marcus and replied, “Overruled.”Miss Becky shook her head and replied, “No. Even though Mrs Phillips didn’t like Miss Stanton, she never wished her and her grandson dead. She wanted her son, Payton, to divorce Miss Stanton and marry Miss Pearson because she was from a wealthy family.”Daniela was not happy with that response and asked, “If you knew that, why did you feed the late Colton food that was laced with poison?"Becky looked at Daniela and replied, “I am sorry, Miss Soap, but I am not a soothsayer. Miss Pearson didn’t tell me that the peanuts were laced with lethal poison. Since the child was allergic to peanuts, Miss Pearson told me that he would have a mild reaction. Who knew that she was so cruel? Unbeknownst to me,

Zara turned to Daniela and said coldly, “Ensure that you deliver strong closing arguments, Miss Soap. I don’t want to spend a minute in that horrible place.”Daniela lowered her voice and replied, “I regret taking your case, Miss Pearson. You have been nothing but a liar.”Zara shot her a venomous gaze. Before she could respond, two police officers handcuffed her and took her away.Daniela left the courtroom with a heavy heart. She knew that she had lost the case. The evidence against her client was overwhelming. On top of that, during the trial, she didn’t even show remorse for taking baby Colton’s life.At Stanton Private Hospital, Mrs Pearson was with her husband, holding his hand. She looked at him with eyes full of love and said, “I am so happy that you are going to be discharged next week, my love.Also, I received a text message from our beloved son indicating that he is doing well abroad. I missed him so dearly, Hubby. I wish he had been here with us.”Even though the Pearson f

Zara’s body trembled when she heard Becky’s sentence, and colour drained from her face. What if Judge Cronje sentenced her to fifteen years in prison? She hugged herself tightly. She was really scared for her life.At that moment, she wished she could press the rewind button. If she had known that her family would disown her, she wouldn’t have touched Payton’s son. Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret in the world.Judge Cronje took a sip of water, then he looked at Mrs Phillips and asked, “What did you mean when you told Miss Pearson to do anything necessary to get rid of Miss Stanton?”Mrs Phillips had tears in her eyes and replied, “Since Miss Stanton was an orphan, I thought she lacked financial stability. I wanted Miss Pearson to give Miss Stanton a large sum of money to force her to divorce my son. I didn’t mean any harm.”Judge Cronje shook his head and said, “Mrs Phillips, Miss Pearson killed innocent baby Colton because your words were delivered with such recklessne

Gemma looked at Zara with mocking eyes and said, “When I heard that you were sentenced to life imprisonment, I thank the Lord for His faithfulness. A heartless person like you doesn’t belong in society.”A surge of anger rose in Zara’s heart when she realized that the very person she used to look down on was now laughing at her expense. Her heart was overwhelmed with bitterness.Gemma smiled, but the smile didn’t reach her eyes, and she said, “Don’t be too angry, Zara, because you will die before your time.I also came here to share my happiness with you, my dearest friend. Jasper and I are happily married, and we are expecting our bundle of joy.” Then Gemma touched her flat belly, grinning from ear to ear.The blood drained from Zara’s face as she realized that her attempt to drive a wedge between Jasper and Gemma had failed. The news of their happy marriage and the pregnancy felt like a physical blow.Zara struggled to form words, and she stammered, “W…what? Are you really…pregnant,
