Jasper felt that he treated Alice very well other than the fact that he didn’t love her.


    When she was still living at Seaview Manor, she enjoyed all the luxuries money could give. The


    housekeepers there served Alice well, and no one caused her any trouble.


    Heck, Jasper even gave her a supplementary credit card. He was never one to skimp out on


    money, after all.


    Alice never used that card in her purchases over the past three years. Still, her life as the Beckett


    family’s young madam was much better than her life as a medical aide in the nursing home.


    How dare Alice say such things in public! She made it sound like she had gone through many


    hardships and torment!


    The more Jasper thought about it, the angrier he became. His eyes started to be bloodshot as


    he gritted his teeth tightly.


    “Tch! You sure are stubborn, huh? Since you’re the manager of this hotel, I’ll be straightforward. Your


    hotel needs to provide me with a solution regarding this incident today.”


    Betty continued haughtily, “Either youpensate me with a ne which is the same as the


    missing one. It’s not that expensive, honestly. It’s over 200 thousand dors, give or take.


    “Or, you can have the cops arrest this thief. As the hotel manager, you’ll have to publicly apologize to


    me. Money’s not an issue. The thing is, I find it difficult to forgive and forget.”


    Betty flipped her curls while rolling her eyes in disdain.


    There was no way she’d admit in front of everyone that Alice was her former sister–inw. That would


    be very humiliating for her.


    Besides, this was the perfect opportunity to push that country bumpkin around. After all, Alice was the


    one who showed off in the charity auction some time ago. She was nothing without her identity as


    Jonah’s lover. That was why Betty intended to trample all over her while she could.


    “Mr. Beckett, Ms. Betty is bullying Madam Alice! Xavier never liked Betty from the start. So, he couldn’t


    help but worry about Alice.


    “Be patient.”


    Jasper narrowed his eyes slightly. He was very curious about his ex–wife.


    After all, he didn’t know what Alice was like at work. Jasper only remembered her as a humble


    housewife.


    Managing a hotel was equivalent to working in the hospitality industry. Everyone knew just how


    had appointed her as the hotel manager.


    “Ms. Beckett, you can lodge a police report immediately since your missing ne is worth over 200


    thousand dors. If you truly wantpensation, we can call the police for you. After all, the sooner we


    call them the higher the chances of finding your ne.”


    Alyssa continued, “Once the police arrive at the hotel, every employee in this hotel will cooperate with


    them in their investigation, including me. I’ll provide them with the surveince footage and the


    employees‘ belongings. The police can search through them as long as they have a searching


    warrant.”


    She remained calm and collected.


    The crowd began to murmur.


    “She’s right! That woman should’ve called the cops right away! What’s the use of causing a ruckus


    here without doing that in the first ce?”


    think she forgot where she left her ne. That’s why she’s just kicking up a fuss over


    nothing.”


    Betty was so furious that her face turned red. “What’s the use of having the police investigate the


    hotel? That thief must have stashed my ne somewhere else!”


    “I’m not a thief! I didn’t steal your ne!” The housekeeper’s eyes became bloodshot due to


    rage. Her body kept trembling as well.


    “Our hotel is fully equipped with surveince cameras which provide high–quality live feed in all


    “Plus, I’ve already ordered all employees of the housekeeping department to stay in this hotel the


    moment I received the news. If any of them did steal your ne, it’d still be in this hotel. The


    culprit wouldn’t have time to stow the ne elsewhere.”


    Alyssa fished her phone out and waved it casually. “Also, I called the police when I was on my


    way here. They’ll be here in about ten minutes.”


    She added, “Once the police are done wrapping up the case, I’ll dly apologize to you in public.”


    Alyssa’s speech was wless, to say the least.


    “Madam Alice is amazing! Her way of dealing with this incident is perfect!” Xavier praised excitedly. He


    was on the verge of bing Alice’s biggest fan.


    Jasper nced at Xavier coldly. But he couldn’t help but feel captivated by Alice’s performance.


    He had to admit that Alice was calm, witty, and domineering when she was dealing with Betty.

    *Fine. You’d better keep your word,” Betty said angrily.


    “Of course. I’m the manager of this hotel, after all. By right, I should take responsibility for my


    guests. If my employees are the ones at fault, that is.”


    Alyssa continued to smile at Betty, yet it never reached her eyes.


    At that moment, Sean and the manager of the housekeeping department rushed into the lobby.


    Sean was carrying a stic bag carefully as though it was the most precious treasure in the


    entire world.


    “We found Ms. Beckett’s ne!”
