"Very well, Mrs Ayala." The judge said in a restrained voice. "What do you have to say about this evidence presented against you and your husband? Do you deny not knowing anything about it?"
"Yes, Your Honour. My husband and I are not aware of these viral videos and pictures. We only told a few friends and family that we have found our daughter. It wasn't meant to be publicized."
"Exactly!" Miguel concurred, his voice quivering.
"How convenient." The crease on the judge's forehead deepened. "You do not go around laying claims on people and destroying their reputation simply because they look like a family member. Did it ever cross your mind that Miss Ivy Cruz is not your daughter?"
"No, Your Honour. She is our foster daughter. She is not a look-alike. We can prove it. Even if she denies her own blood, she can't deny being married to the Mendoza." Lia pleaded with both hands clasped like someone saying a prayer.
