Chapter 144 Adjournment

• Sia stood on the dock, her eyes red as she tried to push back the tears threatening to escape her eye duct. The last thing she needs now is to cry and expose her weakness in front of Silas. She can’t give him the last-minute pleasure he'd love to derive from her.
• And she'll never succumb to his demands. Never will she willingly allow Silas Monson to have his way with her. It’s either she dies or go to jail.
• The courtroom got blanketed with silence when the judge appeared after the clerk announced his presence.
