Chapter 447
The crowd’s attention was now on Betty, their impression of her crumbling into pieces.
Jasper remained calm, as if he had expected this to happen.
He hadn’t been able to meet Alexa herself even when he flew all the way to Yoarkley to
find her, so there
was no way someone like Betty could have gotten her hands on one of Alexa’s creations.
Jasper’s anger rose once again at the thought of being toyed with, and he shot Alyssa a
glare.
The latter narrowed her eyes, a scowl appearing on her face. She wondered why Jasper
was staring at her
like that. She felt that Jasper was behaving like a lunatic.
Betty couldn’t take the accusatory gazes and comments from the crowd anymore. She
shakily hid behind.
her mother, quaking like a leaf in the wind.
Ada cried, “Have you been lying to me from the start, Ms. Betty? How could you resort to
something so
debased and repulsive just to get me to choose your hotel?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“I-I…” But Betty didn’t know what to say anymore. She was covered in cold sweat by now.
Ada said, “I chose to trust in you because you were representing the Beckett Group as well
as your family.
“Now, I have no choice but to say that you and your company have lost my faith and
respect in all sense
of those words!
“You have brought humiliation to your entire family!”
Ada was furious by now, partly because she was made an idiot in front of her idol. There
was no other
reasonable alternative now than to direct her anger at Betty.
The crowd agreed with her views.
Seeing such a wealthy heiress use a counterfeit product to trick such a renowned celebrity
was a
humiliating sight to behold!
That would surely make it into the books, just like how Liana had been cuckolding Jasper
Beckett all
those months ago.
“Madam Ada, as CEO of Beckett Group, I assure you we had no idea of the nature of this
gift and
agreement Betty has made on behalf of us with you,” Jasper spoke out of the blue, voice
flat as if he
wasn’t bothered about this at all. “Her actions represent only herself and not us.”
Behind him, Alyssa cocked an amused brow.
Sophia was nearly losing her teeth with how hard she was grinding them.
“But,” Jasper glanced at Alyssa as he continued, “I will take responsibility on behalf of her
for this
mistake. That is to say, for any penalties liable to be incurred from this accident.”
Take responsibility?
There was something quite peculiar about that sentence.
A disappointed look surfaced on Alyssa’s face. She sneered and turned away from Jasper.
He had once again proved how much of a coward he was. In the end, he was still going to
take care of
Sophia and Betty’s mess for them to save his company.
He was always lying to her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“W-Wait! Why are you accusing us as if we’ve done something so terribly wrong? We’re
victims too!”
Sophia quickly leaped to her daughter’s defense, her face beet red.
She continued, “My daughter was only doing her best to get you jewelry you liked, Madam
Ada. It is so
that you would consider choosing our company.
“With so many assets, we could buy not just one but ten of Alexa’s creations. We wouldn’t
buy a fake one
just to appeal to you!
“We wouldn’t have bought it in the first place if we knew it was fake! In fact, the seller
owes us an
explanation!”
Now, the crowd was sniggering at her words. Who did Sophia think she was, boasting so
loudly about
being able to buy Alexa’s work?
“Mrs. Beckett,” Sliva said, having had enough of her bluff. “Ms. Alexa’s jewelry creations
are unique and
one-of-a-kind. They are rarely available on the market these days.”
