Meanwhile, Sophia fanned the fires, chiming in to demonize Alyssa, “She concealed her identity asWinston Taylor’s daughter and stuck around to gain your trust. She even married Jasper.
“Think about it, didn’t that seem like a calculated move? Thank goodness Jasper didn’t fall for hercharms
and divorced her to cut the losses.
“If she had won his heart and your affection, you might have had reason to worry that she’d graduallytake
control of the Beckett Group!”
“Stop it. Alice isn’t what you make her sound,” replied Newton with a wave of his hand. He looked glum.
“I know Winston. He might be a player, but he’s a loyal, honorable man. I don’t believe he’d raise acorrupt
daughter,” stated Newton.
“Dad!”
“Grandpa!”
“Besides, the Taylors are on par with us when it comes to influence and wealth. Why would she give up
her happiness and marry Jasper for some cheap Beckett Group stocks?
“Ms. Gardner might resort to something like that, but not Ms. Alyssa. She’s a proud woman and would
never stoop that low,” Newton continued to defend Alyssa as he favored her and also because Sophia
seemed intent on causing trouble.
Sophia seethed at Newton’s reply as she held back her urge to kick his wheelchair.
“Dad, no matter what, Ms. Alyssa is being hostile to the Beckett Group,” Javier stated.
He knew that his daughter had started the conflict, but admitting that he had raised Betty wrong in frontof Newton was tough. 1
He grumbled indignantly, “Sure, the Beckett Group might have internal issues, but it’s not her place topoint fingers at us.
“She has used the influence of Taylor Group against us a few times. Sophia was a victim last time, andnow, Alyssa’s trying to send Betty to jail over nothing!
“Her heartless, extreme behavior shows that she doesn’t mind a fallout with the Beckett Group! Haveyou ever considered that she might have changed after reuniting with the Taylors? She will choose theinterest of Taylor Group over her relationship with you without hesitation!”
Newton clutched the arm of his wheelchair as he heaved. He instructed, “Ben, I want to meet Alice. I
need to hear everything in her own words!”novelbin
At the same time, Jasper’s Maybach was parked in front of Seaview Manor’s entrance. Xavier openedthe
car door for him.
When Jasper emerged calmly from the car, a black Maserati slowly rolled up and stopped by the
Maybach. Simon, dressed in a suit, appeared in his view.
Simon commented, “What a coincidence, Mr. Beckett.”
“And why did you take a special trip here at this time? Does Javier need your help to clean up hismess?” Jasper sneered with a mocking grin.
Simon maintained a patient smile and explained, “As Javier has hired me to represent Ms. Betty, I amresponsible for my client until the end. It’s a matter of professionalism in my line of work.
“Your comments suggest that you may not be very familiar with the legal profession, but that’sunderstandable.”
Jasper approached Simon with a piercing gaze and pursed lips, creating invisible pressure. Frowning,Simon inadvertently took a step back.
The moment he did so, he had lost to Jasper. At the very least, he showed weakness before thehandsome but fear-inducing Jasper.
Jasper began, “The legal profession is a complicated industry. There are plenty of attorneys who workfor justice. Of course, many famous attorneys, such as you, work for corporate interests and would goto any lengths to achieve their goals.”
Simon’s smile froze on his face.
Jasper continued, “I don’t have the right to criticize your personal decision. However, I have a warningfor you.”
Jasper’s deep, penetrating eyes were unsettling as he cautioned, “I know you’re cruel and cunning. Butnever try anything on Alyssa, as she’s someone important to me. If you dare lay a finger on her, expectretribution from me.”
