Javier bellowed, "That miscarriage left Alyssa unable to conceive again! Do you really want to marry
Jasper to such a woman? Jasper is now the only heir of our Beckett family.
"If you let him marry Alyssa, who will inherit the tens-of-billion-dollar family business? Betty? Lauren?
Are they up to the task?"
Jasper felt as if his heart were torn open.
"How ... How can that ..." Newton was completely dumbfounded. He felt as though he was bleeding
inside.
"It's her own problem. Why should we go down with her? Blame her bad luck. Blame her horrible fate!"
"It's not like that!" Suddenly, Ben, his forehead covered in cold sweat, rushed forward and shouted,
"Things are not like what you're saying!"
The three Becketts were all shocked.

work. He had never been so impulsive.
"Mr. Gorham, do you ... do you know something?"
Jasper keenly sensed Ben's hesitation to speak. With red eyes, he urgently asked, "You do know
something, right?"
Ben tightly closed his eyes, tears of guilt streaming down his face. The next second, with a thud, he
suddenly bent both knees and knelt in front of them.
"Mr. Gorham!"
"Ben!"
Both shocked and anxious, Newton repeatedly patted his thighs. "Get up now! Say what you have to
say. What are you doing?"
Jasper strode forward, wanting to help Ben up, but he stubbornly refused to get up.
"It's my fault ... It's all my fault ... I should have spoken up earlier ... If I had spoken up, Ms. Alyssa and
Mr. Jasper wouldn't have reached this point ..."
Ben choked up, speaking intermittently, "Back then ... when Ms. Alyssa had a miscarriage, I was there."
Jasper's pupils violently trembled. "What did you say? You were there?"
"Ben! What are you talking about? How were you there?" Newton was on edge. "You usually talk
fluently. Why are you stammering now? Speak quickly!"
"The car accident ... It was because of that car accident!"
Ben apologized to Alyssa in his mind for not being able to keep the secret for her anymore.
"Car ... accident?"
Jasper's heart raced. Suddenly, he remembered the event from nearly three years ago.

"Christmas ... Was it that Christmas?" Newton also immediately reacted.

Mr. Jasper, along with the ladies, were not in Solana City ... Only Ms. Alyssa was here. She braved the
snow to spend the holiday with you."
Jasper's heart tightened, feeling the air thinning around him and making it difficult to breathe.
"You wanted to visit Madam Doris, so Ms. Alyssa drove you. Later, you went to the seaside, where you
used to frequently date Madam Doris when you were young.
"Everything was beautiful that day, but on the way back, you had a car accident."
Ben shed tears and bowed his head. "Ms. Alyssa was injured, too. Yet, she did everything she could to
get you to the hospital. After that, she experienced severe abdominal pain. Then, I saw ... blood flowing
from under her skirt ..." "My poor Alice! Why are you so foolish?" Newton regretted deeply, shaking his
head with tears in his eyes.
