Javier regarded Sophia with a cool and lowered gaze, his icy stare concealed beneath his thickshes.


    “Did you secretly instruct Ronald to attack L in thest incident, Mrs. Beckett?” Alyssa suddenly


    changed the topic.


    “I didn’t! Everything was Ronald’s idea, and it has nothing to do with me!”


    Sophia clutched Javier’s suit, her teary eyes blurred.


    “Javier, I bear no grudges against L. Why would I do that? I’m thedy of the Beckett family. L is


    just Winston Taylor’s mistress! Why would I bother with a concubine like her?”


    With a scowl, Javier ordered her sternly, “Sophie! Stop talking.”.


    “Ms. Sophia Kirkman, you can insult me, but you cannot insult my family.”


    Alyssa’s gaze sharpened as she pointed her finger directly at Sophia’s tearful and sinister face.


    “Be careful. If you dare to insult L again, I might p you too!”


    The room fell into an awkward silence.


    People from the Harper family also wore a dumbfounded expression.


    Cornelius shook his head and tutted. “Winston’s daughter, always wanting to p people,cks the


    demeanor of a youngdy. Too arrogant, too impolite, too willful!”


    “What to do? Everyone spoils her.” Landon raised his hand and shrugged. He continued, “Mr. Taylor


    spoils


    her, all her brothers and sisters at home spoil her, even Jasper spoils her.


    “She can’t help being willful. You know, Jasper has never spoiled any woman in his life except for


    Alyssa.


    That’s an exception, an indulgence without limits. No other woman canpare.”


    Zoe’s face burned, and her heart bled with hatred upon hearing the undertones.


    Jasper observed Alyssa, who exuded the fierce demeanor of a feisty woman. He couldn’t help but


    smile,


    and his thin lips curved upward as his heartbeat elerated.


    Sophia felt a sudden surge of fear, causing her to freeze in ce. She was hesitant to make a move.


    Sophia was aware of Alyssa’s straightforward approach. When Alyssa mentioned pping someone,


    she


    meant it. Yet, Sophia couldn’t endure it.


    “Alyssa! All this is just your spection! You’re trying to smear me! You have no evidence!”

    Sophia was convinced that Alyssa didn’t have conclusive evidence. Otherwise, how could she remain


    unscathed until now?


    “Yes, I’m just saying. Why are you so anxious? Could it be that you’re feeling quilty?


    Sophia was left red-faced and speechless by Alyssa’s words.


    Alyssa smiled and took back the tinum ne.


    “As for the specific rtionship between you two, asking Mr. Branson again should yield results soon.


    No


    need to rush.”


    Thinking of Ronald, who was already under police control, Sophia’s nerves tightened.


    “Alright, I won’t interrupt your important discussion any longer. I’ll excuse myself.” Alyssa walked


    confidently toward the door, aware of the scrutinizing gazes around her.


    Jasper clenched his fists tightly, and his fiery gaze followed her.


    He considered following her several times but managed to control the restlessness in his heart.


    Seeing Alyssa about to leave, Penelope suddenly stopped her. Wearing a frosty expression, Penelope


    said, “Ms. Alyssa, next time you handle family matters, it’s better to choose the right time and asion.


    At the very least, you should inform Mr. Javier and Jasper in advance so that it won’t be so awkward for


    everyone.”

    “Awkward? I didn’t feel that way.” Alyssa shrugged indifferently. With a smirk, she mocked, “Next time,


    try


    to thicken up your skin a bit, and you won’t feel embarrassed.”
