Chapter 451
The auction ended on a high note with this turn of events. Not only had MINT broken the
record for
raising the most charity funds in a single night, but the reporters were covering every
detail as if it were
the birthdays of all the A-list celebrities in the world combined.
When Javier heard the news, he instantly sent his secretary and lawyer to escort Sophia
and Betty home.
They were huddled together, still frightened by what had happened.
“I represent the Beckett Group as their legal advisor. If you do not have solid proof of your
accusations
about Ms. Betty stealing confidential information, Ms. Grant, I will see you in court for
defamation,” the
lawyer said boldly.
Abigail got scared at the thought of being sued, but she was even more terrified of dying.
Currently, the man who held her life in his hands was gazing directly at her, leaving her
with no chance to
reconsider.

She shuddered and promptly retorted, “O-Of course I have proof! Don’t assume I’m
intimidated by you
arrogant pricks simply because you’re rich and powerful! I’ve changed my ways, so I won’t
harm anyone
else just because someone paid me to!”
“Mr. Jasper,” the lawyer shot Jasper a troubled look.
Jasper’s tone was as icy as ever, and he spoke as though he had no connection to his
family’s company
whatsoever.
“Tell Mr. Javier that he can forget about Abigail. It’s the entire KS World that’s going to take
him down.
now.
He concealed the fact that he, too, would be contributing to Javier’s downfall.
The lawyer quivered in his shoes upon hearing that.
Alyssa was Winston Taylor’s most beloved child. If things took a turn for the worse, he
would face the
wrath of the entire Taylor family.
Winston Taylor himself, Jonah Taylor, and even the whole Lovelace family would rally
behind them. It
would be an utter war and him the only casualty.
“A wise general knows to raise their white flag when all is lost. Persistence when not a
single odd is in
their favor will only make their downfall harder,” Jasper snarked as he turned to look at
Alyssa.
But she had long left the hall.
His warm, beating heart turned as cold as ice in a split second.
Alyssa escorted Yves to the parking lot.
“You surprised me tonight, Alyssa,” Yves said gently, giving her a hug. “But I knew any
sibling of Jonah’s
wouldn’t disappoint.”
Alyssa flashed a grin, saying, “That’s because you’re seeing things through Jonah-tinted
lenses.”
“But I mean it, Alyssa. I can tell from the way you speak and behave that you’re an
exceptional woman. I
truly respect you. I have a feeling we’re going to be great friends!”
“Hmm… Not great family?” Alyssa teased.
Yves’ eyes widened. She giggled, blushing in response.

“Oh love, I’m already turning 50 next year. I do like Jonah, but I can’t hold him back.”
“So what if you’re 50? My Dad has a 25-year age difference between him and his third
wife. They’re doing
mighty fine together.”
Alyssa wrapped an arm around Yves’ shoulders.
“Life is short, Madam Yves. We should do everything in our power to live it contentedly
and happily, don’t
you think? If you truly like my brother, then go for it. I wholeheartedly encourage you.”
“Alexa,” Yves suddenly called her by her alias. “Have you ever regretted anything in your
life thus far?”
Pain lanced Alyssa’s heart as the harsh memories she kept locked away in the depths of
her heart
revealed a fraction of themselves.
She smiled lightly. “Honestly, yes, I have. But I’ve already let that go. So, no more
regrets.”
She regretted marrying Jasper, but she no longer held on to it because it had happened
and then passed.
It might sound complicated, but that was how she felt, nevertheless.
After Yves got into her car, Alyssa waved her goodbye.
“Alexa!”
