Alyssa paused for a while before saying coldly, “I’m fine, but Lauren might not be.”
Jasper’s eyes darkened as he tightened his grip on Betty’s wrist.
“Ouch! Jasper, let go! It hurts!” Sweating from the pain, Betty was close to tears. He finally let go of
her wrist. Betty stumbled backward and fell onto the ground from the strong impact.
“Jasper, that bitch started it! She threw her slippers at me! Look at the mark on my face–that’s
the evidence!”
Punching the ground between sobs, she grumbled, “How could you blindly side with an outsider
who beats up your sister at home?”
Surprisingly, he did not so much as give Betty a look. Instead, he turned to Alyssa. “Are you really
okay?”
Betty’s wrist.

Alyssa secretly rolled her eyes and ignored him. Instead, she hurried over to Lauren and squatted
on the floor, gently caressing Lauren’s soft hair.
“Alyssa!” Lauren immediately went into her embrace and sobbed. She had never shed a tear when
Betty hit her. However, she lost control of her tears when she saw Alyssa.
“Hey, don’t cry. No one will bully you with me around. I got your back.” Feeling pained, she cast a
furious nce at Betty whileforting Lauren. Betty was as wicked as Cindera’s stepmother.
Jasper felt shaken at the sight of Alyssa and Lauren holding on to each other. It was a
heartwarming scene that he greedily wished to see more.
“Betty, I’m telling you this. Listen well.” Alyssa’s piercing gaze swept past Betty’s face. “From now on,

never seen her as his sister from the very start! She had no choice but to admit her wrong for now.
“Apologize to Lauren right now,” Jasper ordered Betty to apologize with a hard and unfeeling tone.

“Betty Beckett!”
“Leave it An insincere apology is meaningless.” Eyes cold, Alyssa mocked, “Everything’s good as long
as she doesn’t attack people like a mad dog for no reason.”
Rubbing the slipper mark on her forehead, Betty stormed back to her bedroom.
“Alyssa Taylor, I will not let this slide!” She was panting heavily, her eyes red from the anger. She
btedly questioned the reason Alyssa was at Seaview Manor.
Did Jasper bring her home? What was that supposed to mean?
