The crowd’s attention was now on Betty, their impression of her crumbling into pieces.


    Jasper remained calm, as if he had expected this to happen.


    He hadn’t been able to meet Alexa herself even when he flew all the way to Yoarkley to find her, so


    there


    was no way someone like Betty could have gotten her hands on one of Alexa’s creations.


    Jasper’s anger rose once again at the thought of being toyed with, and he shot Alyssa a re.


    Thetter narrowed her eyes, a scowl appearing on her face. She wondered why Jasper was staring at


    her


    like that. She felt that Jasper was behaving like a lunatic.


    Betty couldn’t take the usatory gazes andments from the crowd anymore. She shakily hid


    behind.


    her mother, quaking like a leaf in the wind.

    Ada cried, “Have you been lying to me from the start, Ms. Betty? How could you resort to something so


    debased and repulsive just to get me to choose your hotel?”


    “I-I…” But Betty didn’t know what to say anymore. She was covered in cold sweat by now.


    Ada said, “I chose to trust in you because you were representing the Beckett Group as well as your


    family.


    “Now, I have no choice but to say that you and yourpany have lost my faith and respect in all


    sense


    of those words!


    “You have brought humiliation to your entire family!”


    Ada was furious by now, partly because she was made an idiot in front of her idol. There was no other


    reasonable alternative now than to direct her anger at Betty.


    The crowd agreed with her views.


    Seeing such a wealthy heiress use a counterfeit product to trick such a renowned celebrity was a


    humiliating sight to behold!


    That would surely make it into the books, just like how Liana had been cuckolding Jasper Beckett all


    those months ago.


    “Madam Ada, as CEO of Beckett Group, I assure you we had no idea of the nature of this gift and


    agreement Betty has made on behalf of us with you,” Jasper spoke out of the blue, voice t as if he


    wasn’t bothered about this at all. “Her actions represent only herself and not us.”


    Behind him, Alyssa cocked an amused brow.


    Sophia was nearly losing her teeth with how hard she was grinding them.


    “But,” Jasper nced at Alyssa as he continued, “I will take responsibility on behalf of her for this


    mistake. That is to say, for any penalties liable to be incurred from this ident.”


    Take responsibility?


    There was something quite peculiar about that sentence.


    A disappointed look surfaced on Alyssa’s face. She sneered and turned away from Jasper.


    He had once again proved how much of a coward he was. In the end, he was still going to take care of


    Sophia and Betty’s mess for them to save hispany.


    He was always lying to her.


    “W-Wait! Why are you using us as if we’ve done something so terribly wrong? We’re victims too!”


    Sophia quickly leaped to her daughter’s defense, her face beet red.


    She continued, “My daughter was only doing her best to get you jewelry you liked, Madam Ada. It is so


    that you would consider choosing ourpany.


    “With so many assets, we could buy not just one but ten of Alexa’s creations. We wouldn’t buy a fake


    one


    just to appeal to you!


    “We wouldn’t have bought it in the first ce if we knew it was fake! In fact, the seller owes us an


    exnation!”


    Now, the crowd was sniggering at her words. Who did Sophia think she was, boasting so loudly about


    being able to buy Alexa’s work?


    “Mrs. Beckett,” Sliva said, having had enough of her bluff. “Ms. Alexa’s jewelry creations are unique


    and


    one-of-a-kind. They are rarely avable on the market these days.”
