Rosie chuckled. “Some are here to pay their last respects, but some, like you, are here to capitalize onothers’ death!”
“Mrs. Rosie, that’s too much!”
Rosie added, “You shouldn’t take credit for my treatment in the family. I only have Mr. Javier andMadam Anne to thank. Besides, it is Mr. Javier who pays me, not you! I have nothing to do with you.”
In the heat of the moment, Rosie spat in front of Sophia while the onlookers were still reeling from theshock of the drama of a maid speaking out against Sophia.
At that moment, some level-headed reporters said, “She’s not wrong. A funeral for a victim of suddendeath should be kept low-profile. Because of that, Ms. Alyssa and Mr. Beckett have not invited themedia to the funeral. They care about sending off the victim more than shaping their image.”
“True. I have never seen anyone in Solana City who’s more attention- seeking than Mrs. Beckett.”
“Mrs. Rosie is right. Mrs. Beckett is capitalizing on the victim’s death.”novelbin
Sophia fumed when she realized the public opinion had turned against her, but she had to keep hercool in front of the reporters. She decided to keep up the act, playing the victim.
Turning white, she pressed against her chest, looking like she was about to faint. She accused Alyssa,“How could you judge me unfairly? Ms. Alyssa, we did not get along when you were married to Jasper.I admit that we ran into conflicts, but it’s all in the past because you divorced Jasper. Why would you dowhatever it takes to at back at me?”
Alyssa’s expression hardened when Sophia brought up the divorce again. Similarly, Jasper’s bloodboiled at Sophia’s remark.
Eyes gleaming with malice, Sophia looked close to tears. She added, ” You knew Jasper was intoLiana. They couldn’t marry because his grandpa disapproved of their relationship. Even then, youchose to marry Jasper.
“Alyssa, the divorce was a matter of time, especially because you insisted on getting married. Howcould you blame that on me? You’re a bully!”
Sophia attempted to create falsehoods to divert attention from herself. What a crafty woman!
The reporters were continuously surprised by the revelation of the Becketts’ private lives. They hadtheir doubts, wondering if Sophia was unfairly blamed because Alyssa wanted revenge.
Silas and Cyrus could not hold back. Even Axel, who was hiding in a corner, was ready to make amove on Sophia.
Silas offered, “Jonah, I’ll send some men to shoo the reporters. We can’t let this happen. There will berumors about Lyse and Jasper’s divorce.”
Jonah stopped him when he was about to leave. “Silas, you can’t.”
Silas and Cyrus were puzzled. “Why not?”
“It’s too late to stop the media from reporting. I bet some of them are hosting live streams. If weforcefully kick them out, we will only make Lyse appear guilty of the accusation and fall into Sophia’strap.”
Jonah took a deep breath and explained sternly, “Sophia is setting Lyse up. If we mishandle thesituation, we would appear to be sitting to Sophia’s accusations.”
Silas and Cyrus clenched their fists in a fit of anger. They were willing to risk their careers and beat upSophia at that moment
