Chapter 974


    Betty, who could not step aside in time, was also drenched in soup. She nearly heaved from the


    stench.


    The onlookers gasped at the turn of events. They did not expect Nina’s bedridden and ill grandmother


    to take revenge for her granddaughter with a will of steel. The old woman glowered at Sophia.

    Her determination won her the respect of everyone present.


    “You evil woman! Get lost! I don’t want you standing in the way of Nina!” Despite appearing frail, the old


    woman yelled loudly with rage,” If you don’t leave, I will break your head with the bowl!


    “I don’t have any purpose in life after losing Nina. I have nothing more. to lose, and I am not afraid of


    going against you!”


    Sophia and Betty enjoyed a high-profile arrival at the funeral but ended up escaping from the scene


    with tails between their legs.


    The reporters left after that. They would have a field day writing ne articles on Javier and Sophia.


    Although Nina’s funeral started in chaos, it wrapped up smoothly.


    Unfortunately, Nina’s grandmother fainted out of anger at Sophia and Betty’s interruption. The Taylor


    family rushed her to the hospital, where she would receive the best care.


    Alyssa sat on the couch in the lounge, looking dejected. Although she and Jasper had the upper hand,


    she trembled with heartache and when she thought of the recording in which Sophia and Betty abused


    Nina.


    Jonah and Ss were busy dealing with the media. Jasper might have was thoroughly protected, just in


    case.


    Cyrus wanted to keep Alyssapany, but he had to leave because of some work at the police station.


    Only Sean, Tatiana, Axel, and Jasper were by Alyssa’s side. She crossed her arms in front of her


    chest, looking confused. “Is the air conditioning turned on? I feel cold.”


    “No, Lyse,” Tatiana replied with worry. “Did you fall sick? I’ll get you a nket.”


    When Tatiana proceeded to leave, she noticed Jasper putting his jacket around Alyssa. He acted so


    tenderly as if he was holding a newborn.


    Alyssa looked up at Jasper, feeling touched. He knelt in front of her and gazed into her teary eyes,


    desperate to read her pain and emotions.


    “Lyse, I know what you’re thinking,” he remarked curtly.


    Moved by his words, she mumbled tearily, “It’s just… I feel… cold


    Gripped by a crushing pain, he pulled her into a deep embrace whispered in her ear, “Are you still


    cold?”


    She bit her lips, her body almost melting under his embrace. She shook her head gently.


    He coaxed her affectionately, saying, “You won’t feel cold again if I’m around.”


    He knew that Alyssa was affected by the sad memories. She had yet to recover from Nina’s death.


    It would take time to heal from trauma. He vowed to treat her with patience and care.


    Axel, Sean, and Tatiana felt reassured upon seeing Jasper and Alyssa wrapped up in a quiet hug.


    Tatiana, always the emotional one, teared up when she saw the touching scene.


    Suddenly, she felt a warm sensation in her hand. Sean had gently inteced his fingers with hers.
