Finally, Bettypletely broke down. She slumped to the ground, sobbing uncontrobly. "Yes... It was


    me..."


    Everyone was stunned.


    Javier was dumbfounded. "What did you say? Say that again."


    "Mom gave me that report. I handed it over to Zoe. That''s how it got out."


    Betty wept tragically. With the truth exposed, she had no choice but toe clean to protect herself.


    Compared to the video spreading nationwide and bing a spectacle, admitting fault seemed like


    the better option.


    In the end, she was still a member of the Beckett family. So what if she schemed against Lauren?


    Her father, who ced utmost importance on both his own reputation and that of the family, would


    undoubtedlye forward to shield her.


    "Why would Sophia give you the diagnosis report?" Newton was so furious that he had difficulty


    breathing.


    "I-I don''t know... Maybe she''d gone crazy from all the drugs she took."


    "You used Sophia''s notorious behavior as leverage, threatening her to give you something that could


    ruin Lauren''s marriage, didn''t you?" Jasper''s eyes darkened. mes of anger were brewing within.


    "I... I..." Under immense pressure, Betty''s mind went nk.


    Jasper''s spections rang true, and she couldn''t evene up with a rebuttal.


    "You despicable creature! You''re worse than an animal!"


    Newton pped his thigh in fury, barely managing to stand with Ben''s support. "Lauren is your sister!


    You grew up together. She''s been so good to you and trusted you as her elder sister. How could you do


    this to her?"


    "You''re unbelievable! You''re just like your dead mother!" Javier was utterly disappointed in Betty.


    "All of you pushed me to do this! Is it all my fault?"


    Bettypletely lost it, screaming like a mad woman, "Grandpa, you always im to love me, but you


    secretly favor Lauren in everything!


    "I was the one who liked Landon first, but you matched him with Lauren! Why does she get all the good


    things? I''m not inferior to her!"


    Newton was stunned to hear that.


    But in the blink of an eye, his expression darkened again. With tears welling up in his eyes, he stepped


    forward and pped Betty even harder than before.


    Jasper and Javier were both shocked.


    Betty''s eardrums throbbed painfully, causing her face to glisten with cold sweat.


    "What I hate most is when women fight over men, even resorting to desperate measures like harming


    their own family!" Newton roared with bloodshot eyes. His heart was aching so much.


    "Back then... just because I loved your grandma and wanted to marry her... her evil sister viciously


    assaulted her, leaving her deaf in her left ear."N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.


    Jasper and Javier gaped, speechless. Even Ben, who thought he knew Newton well, was astounded.


    No wonder Newton always spoke louder to Doris, often embracing her and whispering tenderly when


    alone. It all made sense now—why she could never quite hit the right notes despite her love for music.


    Yet Newton continued to delight in Doris'' singing, listening to her melodies repeatedly without ever


    growing weary of them.


    Doris, who had lost hearing in her left ear, never uttered a word ofint. Her smile was always


    warm and radiant, making it hard to believe she had a disability.


    Newton had used his love to meticulously mend her ws.


    "What you''ve done today is no different from that evil woman! You''re even more malicious! You used a


    third party to harm your sister!"


    A furious Newton pointed usingly at Betty''s pale face. "I don''t have a granddaughter like you! Don''t


    ever im to be my granddaughter out there! You''re not worthy!"


    "Grandpa..."


    At this moment, Betty was truly panicking. Javier didn''t like her, Newtonpletely loathed her, and


    Jasper was her archenemy.


    Was there still a ce for her in this family?


    "Betty, since you''ve admitted it, there''s nothing more to say."


    Jasper looked coldly at Javier. "Dad, how do you n to handle this?"


    Javier was filled with rage, not just because Betty had schemed against Lauren but also because she


    had colluded with the Harpers, stabbing her own family in the back.


    Betty was an ungrateful double-crosser. However, he didn''t want Jasper to handle this matter.


    If the punishment was too severe, it would tarnish his reputation. Besides, he was the head of the


    Beckett family, so dealing with internal affairs was not Jasper''s ce.


    "Confine her to the vi. Seaview Manor''s backyard will be the extent of her permitted movement. I''ll


    handle her from here."


    Jasper shook his head. "That''s too good for her."


    Javier frowned. "Then how do you suggest we handle this?"


    "Cut off all her financial resources, exile her abroad, and never let her return to Sna City."


    Jasper''s words were cutting, and his tone was unyielding. "And that''s not all. Betty will get on her knees


    and apologize to Lauren."
