Chapter 368
“Even if Alyssa and I are divorced, that does not mean you get to do anything to her.”
Jasper took slow
steps forward, a dark surge rising in his eyes.
Javier bristled angrily, meeting his son’s gaze.
Betty was shocked by the murderous gleam in Jasper’s eyes as well, but she quickly
recovered. She went
up to her father, gently kneading his shoulders.
She said, “Alright, Dad. Don’t get so worked up because of Alyssa. Though she might have
the upper hand
now, it’s not over yet. The odds might still be in our favor in the end.”
Javier frowned. “Do you have a plan, Betty?”

back from Alyssa
Taylor’s hands!” Betty grinned. “The news can say what they want about Ada choosing KS
World, but we
all know things can always change, no?”
Jasper narrowed his eyes. Despite Betty’s constant desire to gain some influence within
the family
business, she consistently fell short and ended up making a mockery of herself.
This time, however, felt different. She appeared to be genuinely confident about her
chances of winning.
Something was up.
“Yes, you’re right! I knew I could count on you, my dear! I knew you had what it takes!”
Javier chuckled,
clasping his daughter’s hand. “I’ll give you full control over this project, and Jasper will
step out of his
position in this for you.”
He then turned to Jasper. “You should stay out of this for now, or you might be entangled
in a conflict of
interest again, particularly concerning Alyssa Taylor. Betty will take care of it!”
Jasper remained sullen and quiet.
Javier had always been someone who leaped to attention the moment a mistake was
made but never
noticed all the wins before that. One, because Javier never liked this bastard child of his,
and two, so he
could always keep Jasper at arm’s length in case the boy tried to revolt against him.
“Yeah!” Betty exclaimed, hugging her father. “Thank you for the chance, Dad!”

“I’ll make sure you’re rewarded finely for your success,” Javier beamed, stroking her
daughter’s head. “Is there anything you want as your reward yet? A new villa in the
countryside? Or a new car?”
“No.” Betty shook her head. “As your daughter, I feel it’s time for me to finally step up and
help the family

just as capable of managing it as Alyssa Taylor is with her hotel!”
Jasper felt like someone had punched out all the air from his lungs. It finally dawned upon
him what Betty
was after.
“Alright! If you can prove to me that you have what it takes to take on this role, you can
have complete
authority over the Berenike Hotel!” Javier said happily.
Betty shot Jasper a gleeful, evil look. “Thank you so much, Dad!”
It was as if Betty could already picture Jasper’s inevitable downfall.
