None of the Becketts knew what to do now. From Henry’s arrest being leaked to public media to
Sophia being detained for questioning–it all left what remained of their family reeling in utter
shock.
“Why are you arresting me? Do you have any evidence?” Sophia cried, herposed demeanor
caving like an avnche.
Betty could only gape in fear as the men led her mother away.
“Javier, Javier help me!” Sophia cried as the men brought her away. “Please help me!”
Javier wanted to, but he couldn’t risk losingposure in front of these people. He growled,
What is the meaning of this, Ms. Alyssa?”
“Whatever do you mean, sir? The Investigative Bureau is the one responsible for arresting your
wife. Not me.” Alyssa grinned.
“How did you know this news woulde out at 3:00 pm? How could you have had the guts to
spew all those baseless nonsense beforehand? It all points to you having been the mastermind
behind this trickery!”
“That might be a stretch, Mr. Javier. My family business is an extraordinarilyrge one. How could
we not be aware of such breaking news if even the news outlets know?”
Javier roared back, “Ms. Alyssa Taylor, you cannot get behind all this vindictiveness just because your
marriage to Jasper didn’t work out! If someone must be to me, it can only be yourselves!”
Minnie and Onder shared the same shocked look.
Did the Taylor and Beckett family have a matrimonial connection once upon a time? How
interesting!
“You’re taking revenge on my family by messing with us and our business. It’s truly a shallow
move, Ms. Alyssa!”
Sean was about to stand up for his employer when Jasper stood in front of Alyssa protectively. He
met his father’s gaze head–on.
“You cannot use Ms. Alyssa of this without evidence, Mr. Javier. It’s baseless and outright
disrespectful, don’t you think?”

“You! Why are you defending her?” Steam gushed out of Javier’s ears. “She hasn’t respected you or
any of us one bit after the divorce. Why are youing to her defense now?”
Alyssa met Jasper’s gaze, then looked away with a sneer.
Naturally, he would support his family. After all, he shared their blood and DNA.
In truth, he didn’t seem all that different from his father, who was always being manipted by
women. These two wereplete idiots, Alyssa thought.
“I trust her. She didn’t do it.”
Alyssa turned to gaze at Jasper, but he had looked away by then. “Regardless of our divorce, I’ll
alwayse to her defense if she’s being wrongly used.”
He sneered. “Even if we haven’t divorced, you still have no right to be talking about my wife like
this.”
Alyssa gnawed on her lip, tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear.
Alyssa couldn’t help but think that these were all nonsense and utter rubbish.
Javier thought he might get a stroke. His blood was buzzing in his ears.
If Onder and Minnie weren’t here, he would have gone up to give his son a solid punch across
the cheek.
Alyssa felt secretly pleased to see the father and son at odds with each other. She wasn’t going to
bother with Javier for the time being.
Her n had taken effect as intended. All that she needed to do was thest step.
“I guess I’ll leave you to it then. I’ll take my leave for now. Good day.” She then went back to the
golf cart with Sean behind her.
“Wait, Ms. Alyssa! Hold on!” Onder cried, running up to her. “I’m sure we can discuss the
Verdane Valley project further!”
Alyssa smiled, feeling like a winner. “I agree. I’ll arrange a date for us to meet up and talk about
this soon.”
“We look forward to your call, Miss! Anytime!” Onder’s attitude had gained a double fold in
enthusiasm.

Minnie approached her with a bright smile, asking, “Would it be alright if my son joined us, Mise?
Im aure he would be very d to make you acquaintance”
She was defnitely going to try her luck matching her son to Belbanks‘ number one bachelorette
Jasper’s breath caught, his expression turning dark.
The man who managed to date Alyssa would need to keep her away from prying eyes, or else she
was sure to attract unwanted attention.Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
