"You heard her? This bitch wanted me to apologize to that hotel employee ... Betty cackled. "Did you hit your head or something?"


    When Betty threw her head backughing, her two stic girlfriends wereughing hysterically as well.


    "Why couldn''t Bettyin as a hotel guest? Her ne was broken. And she received crappy service."


    "That''s right! How dare you ask for an apology? Do you own the hotel? There''s no end to this."


    Sean squinted at thedies. He believed the two dumb women would frantically take back their words when they found out that Alyssa owned all the KS Grand Hotel branches in the country.


    "Aren''t you worried that this incident might ruin the image of Beckett Group that Jasper has carefully maintained? You might bring shame to thepany. "Alyssa carelessly stared at Betty.


    "Hmph! Don''t you dare threaten me. I''m not the president of thepany. Why would I care?" Unbothered, Betty rolled her eyes.


    Betty continued, "It''s Jasper''s job as the president to take on the risks and handle any scandals. What else would he do in that role? He should have something to show after Dad made him the president!"


    The store employees were dumbfounded by Betty''s remark. Alyssa couldn''t help but chuckle. The Beckett family appeared loving, but they secretly took advantage of each other and hatched their ns.


    Betty had always looked down on Jasper. To Sophia and Betty, Jasper was nothing but a tool to clean up their mess. They might yield to him on the surface, but they secretly viewed him in disdain.


    Alyssa had seen through the tricks of the Beckett family when she first married Jasper. She wouldn''t have tolerated living with the Becketts that was all show had she not hopelessly fallen in love with Jasper.


    "Ms. Betty, you should at least think of your image, if not thepany''s."


    "Stop threatening me! Alice White, I''m not afraid of you, even if you have Mr. Jonah''s backing. Us Becketts are not pushovers!"


    Betty put her hand on her waist like a bitch. "Where''s security? Kick this country bumpkin out! She has lowered the ss of our store!"


    Two security guards approached Alyssa and wanted to drag her away. However, she remained motionless. Sean fumed and kicked the two guards away. It was an easy task because he had a ck belt in Taekwondo.


    Betty yelped in fear, but the store employees blushed at Sean''s heroic act. They wanted his number because they thought he was too cool.


    "Since you''re stubborn, I have no choice but to negotiate with you."


    Alyssa took her phone and gestured at Betty toe over. "Come here. I''ll show you some good stuff."


    Unwilling to disy her fear, Betty bit the bullet and approached Alyssa, who had a chilling grin on her face.


    When Betty saw the phone screen, her eyes widened in shock, anger, and shame.


    Alyssa calmly scrolled through the gallery to show Betty more photos.


    "What went wrong? I asked those two to delete the photos. Did they ... Betty wondered.


    Alyssa stopped sharing the photos and tucked her phone away. "It''s simple. Offer a public apology, and I''ll delete all the photos without making any copies. If you refuse to, you should know what I will do next."N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    Betty''s teeth were chattering in anger. She was gripped by panic. Sophia raised her in wealth, all to marry her off to a wealthy family like the Harpers.


    Betty knew that her reputation would be tarnished if the photos were leaked. There was no way Landon Harper would fancy her.


    Her desperation led to the bold action of snatching the phone from Alyssa. Alyssa lifted a brow and deftly dodged Betty''s advance. Betty fell onto the couch after missing her target. In a fit of anger, she tried to p Alyssa.


    There was a collective gasp in the store when everyone heard the crisp sound of the p. Looking frosty, Alyssa pped Betty across the face hard. Betty stumbled onto the floor from the impact.


    "Gosh!"


    A red p mark appeared on Betty''s fair skin. It happened too fast for anyone to process it.


    At the same time, Sean secretly cheered for Alyssa''s retaliation. How did Betty have the audacity to think of pping Alyssa?


    The two girlfriends, who previously expressed their support for Betty, had stumbled to the back in fear. They were worried about being caught in the mess.


    "H-How dare you p me?'' Stunned, Betty stared at Alyssa as her face went numb from the pain.
