Alyssa hurriedly picked up the call and cooed, “Ss!”
“Lyse, it’s so damn hard to get hold of you. Were you on a call just now?” Ss sounded anxious.
“Is something wrong?” She frowned.
L
“Did Axel get in touch with you today?”
“No. Gosh, just tell me!”
Ss sighed worriedly. “We went drinkingst night and got drunk. That dude… He made an
outrageous im again!”
Alyssa’s heart sank upon learning that. Axel had a quirk–most people would never act on their drunk
promises, but not Axel. He’d remember everything from the night before, even if he was wasted, and
act on it the next day. That was one of his skills as a top spy.
“What did he say?” She had a bad feeling about it, which made her nervous.
“He said he’d kill Jas!”
Her mind went nk. Had Jonah not grabbed her on time, she might have lost her bnce.
“Axel flew a ne across 10,000 miles to avenge you. Last night, he announced that he’d teach Jas
a lesson. He swore to at least cut off Jas‘ manhood, if not kill him outright! He said that was the
only way to get revenge.”
“I thought he’d listen to you and spare Jasper, but he brought up his n against night. I
couldn’t reach him at all today! Is he making a move?”
Her heart thundered in her chest. She couldn’t spare a minute to exin everything to Jonah and
sprinted out of the church.
Betty was perceived to have offered an insincere apology at the press conference, so theizens
berated her in the chat.
Before she went onstage, Sophia had personally drafted a script and ordered her to memorize it.
Sophia also reminded her not to put on any makeup
Too bad Betty had her own ideas. Firstly, she was stubborn and refused to give in. Secondly, she
thought the press conference was a great chance to trend online as the prettiest heiress with her
looks. Her n backfired, and she lost everything in the end.
“I find the hotels under KS Group likable. Not only do they provide good service, but they also have
“I don’t feel good about the Beckett Group at all! I will never book a room at their hotels when I
travel.”
“Yeah, boycotting them is the way to go! Bankrupt them tomorrow!”
After Betty wrapped up her public apology, she was surrounded by reporters from below the
stage. They shoved the microphones into her face and attacked her with increasingly trickier
questions.

Betty buckled under the pressure, for she had never been thrown into a situation like that. She scuttled
away from the stage under the protection of two bodyguards.
When she wasn’t paying attention, she tripped on the stairs, spraining her ankle while falling t
on the ground. It was a humiliating scene that was captured by the shing cameras.
The two bulky bodyguards hurriedly lifted the limp Betty from the ground and dragged her away
effortlessly.
Five minutester, a new hashtag trended-#BettyBeckett Falls. She was trending online, just as
she wished.
Meanwhile, Jasper and Landon held on to each other when they stumbled out of ACE. They went
in as enemies but emerged as friends. Drinking indeed brought people closer.
They drank like fish that night. Landon was a heavy drinker and only emerged tipsy from the drinking
session.
On the other hand, Jasper had downed a little too much whiskey in his bad mood. He squinted his eyes
and tugged on the knot on his tie, looking drowsy and drunk.
Worried that Jasper might stumble down the stairs, Landon reached out to hold him. “Hey, Jasper, you
didn’tst long, did you? That was fast. Are you high?”
“You can’t tell a man in his face that he… doesn’tst long.” Jasper pinched his forehead and felt
light–headed. “Why am I having a headache after drinking at your bar… Did you sell me fake
alcohol?”
“F*** you! You are really good at shifting the me, dude. Is that how you lost Alice?”
Landon swallowed hard when he saw Jasper’s dazy eyes and flushed neck. He would have done
something unholy to Jasper right there if he were not straight.
Jasper exhaled and shoved Landon away. “I’m leaving.”
“Hey, I’ll send you home.”
