Chapter 792
Javier regarded Sophia with a cool and lowered gaze, his icy stare concealed beneath his thick lashes.
“Did you secretly instruct Ronald to attack Lyla in the last incident, Mrs. Beckett?” Alyssa suddenly
changed the topic.
“I didn’t! Everything was Ronald’s idea, and it has nothing to do with me!”
Sophia clutched Javier’s suit, her teary eyes blurred.
“Javier, I bear no grudges against Lyla. Why would I do that? I’m the lady of the Beckett family. Lyla is
just Winston Taylor’s mistress! Why would I bother with a concubine like her?”
With a scowl, Javier ordered her sternly, “Sophie! Stop talking.”.
“Ms. Sophia Kirkman, you can insult me, but you cannot insult my family.”
Alyssa’s gaze sharpened as she pointed her finger directly at Sophia’s tearful and sinister face.
“Be careful. If you dare to insult Lyla again, I might slap you too!”

People from the Harper family also wore a dumbfounded expression.
Cornelius shook his head and tutted. “Winston’s daughter, always wanting to slap people, lacks the
demeanor of a young lady. Too arrogant, too impolite, too willful!”
“What to do? Everyone spoils her.” Landon raised his hand and shrugged. He continued, “Mr. Taylor
spoils
her, all her brothers and sisters at home spoil her, even Jasper spoils her.
“She can’t help being willful. You know, Jasper has never spoiled any woman in his life except for
Alyssa.
That’s an exception, an indulgence without limits. No other woman can compare.”
Zoe’s face burned, and her heart bled with hatred upon hearing the undertones.
Jasper observed Alyssa, who exuded the fierce demeanor of a feisty woman. He couldn’t help but
smile,
and his thin lips curved upward as his heartbeat accelerated.
Sophia felt a sudden surge of fear, causing her to freeze in place. She was hesitant to make a move.
Sophia was aware of Alyssa’s straightforward approach. When Alyssa mentioned slapping someone,
she
meant it. Yet, Sophia couldn’t endure it.
“Alyssa! All this is just your speculation! You’re trying to smear me! You have no evidence!”

Sophia was convinced that Alyssa didn’t have conclusive evidence. Otherwise, how could she remain
unscathed until now?
“Yes, I’m just saying. Why are you so anxious? Could it be that you’re feeling quilty?
Sophia was left red-faced and speechless by Alyssa’s words.

Alyssa smiled and took back the platinum necklace.
“As for the specific relationship between you two, asking Mr. Branson again should yield results soon.
No
need to rush.”
Thinking of Ronald, who was already under police control, Sophia’s nerves tightened.
“Alright, I won’t interrupt your important discussion any longer. I’ll excuse myself.” Alyssa walked
confidently toward the door, aware of the scrutinizing gazes around her.
Jasper clenched his fists tightly, and his fiery gaze followed her.
He considered following her several times but managed to control the restlessness in his heart.
Seeing Alyssa about to leave, Penelope suddenly stopped her. Wearing a frosty expression, Penelope
said, “Ms. Alyssa, next time you handle family matters, it’s better to choose the right time and occasion.
At the very least, you should inform Mr. Javier and Jasper in advance so that it won’t be so awkward for
everyone.”
“Awkward? I didn’t feel that way.” Alyssa shrugged indifferently. With a smirk, she mocked, “Next time,
try
to thicken up your skin a bit, and you won’t feel embarrassed.”
