Chapter 484
Meanwhile, Sophia fanned the fires, chiming in to demonize Alyssa, “She concealed her
identity as Winston Taylor’s daughter and stuck around to gain your trust. She even
married Jasper.
“Think about it, didn’t that seem like a calculated move? Thank goodness Jasper didn’t fall
for her charms
and divorced her to cut the losses.
“If she had won his heart and your affection, you might have had reason to worry that
she’d gradually take
control of the Beckett Group!”
“Stop it. Alice isn’t what you make her sound,” replied Newton with a wave of his hand. He
looked glum.
“I know Winston. He might be a player, but he’s a loyal, honorable man. I don’t believe
he’d raise a corrupt
daughter,” stated Newton.
“Dad!”

“Besides, the Taylors are on par with us when it comes to influence and wealth. Why would
she give up
her happiness and marry Jasper for some cheap Beckett Group stocks?
“Ms. Gardner might resort to something like that, but not Ms. Alyssa. She’s a proud woman
and would
never stoop that low,” Newton continued to defend Alyssa as he favored her and also
because Sophia
seemed intent on causing trouble.
Sophia seethed at Newton’s reply as she held back her urge to kick his wheelchair.
“Dad, no matter what, Ms. Alyssa is being hostile to the Beckett Group,” Javier stated.
He knew that his daughter had started the conflict, but admitting that he had raised Betty
wrong in front of Newton was tough. 1
He grumbled indignantly, “Sure, the Beckett Group might have internal issues, but it’s not
her place to point fingers at us.
“She has used the influence of Taylor Group against us a few times. Sophia was a victim
last time, and now, Alyssa’s trying to send Betty to jail over nothing!
“Her heartless, extreme behavior shows that she doesn’t mind a fallout with the Beckett
Group! Have you ever considered that she might have changed after reuniting with the
Taylors? She will choose the interest of Taylor Group over her relationship with you without
hesitation!”
Newton clutched the arm of his wheelchair as he heaved. He instructed, “Ben, I want to
meet Alice. I
need to hear everything in her own words!”
At the same time, Jasper’s Maybach was parked in front of Seaview Manor’s entrance.
Xavier opened the
car door for him.
When Jasper emerged calmly from the car, a black Maserati slowly rolled up and stopped
by the
Maybach. Simon, dressed in a suit, appeared in his view.
Simon commented, “What a coincidence, Mr. Beckett.”
“And why did you take a special trip here at this time? Does Javier need your help to clean

Simon maintained a patient smile and explained, “As Javier has hired me to represent Ms.
Betty, I am responsible for my client until the end. It’s a matter of professionalism in my
line of work.
“Your comments suggest that you may not be very familiar with the legal profession, but
that’s understandable.”
Jasper approached Simon with a piercing gaze and pursed lips, creating invisible pressure.
Frowning, Simon inadvertently took a step back.
The moment he did so, he had lost to Jasper. At the very least, he showed weakness
before the handsome but fear-inducing Jasper.
Jasper began, “The legal profession is a complicated industry. There are plenty of
attorneys who work for justice. Of course, many famous attorneys, such as you, work for
corporate interests and would go to any lengths to achieve their goals.”
Simon’s smile froze on his face.
Jasper continued, “I don’t have the right to criticize your personal decision. However, I
have a warning for you.”
Jasper’s deep, penetrating eyes were unsettling as he cautioned, “I know you’re cruel and
cunning. But never try anything on Alyssa, as she’s someone important to me. If you dare
lay a finger on her, expect retribution from me.”
