On second thought, Zoe could help Betty get revenge against Lauren and Landon. She found some
solace in this thought.
However, as Betty's eyes wandered absentmindedly, they fell upon Landon sitting on a sofa in the
corner.
She felt traumatized. Instantly, her legs went weak, and she ended up sitting on the stairs.
The people around all turned to look at Betty. Seeing her embarrassed look, they burst into quiet
laughter.
"What are you doing?"
Sophia looked at Betty with disdain. "There are so many people watching. Get up quickly."
However, Betty's legs were trembling, and she found it difficult to stand up.
For the first time in her life, she experienced the taste of being threatened, suppressed, and tormented
by trauma.

embodiment of malevolence.
Alyssa watched as Renee threw herself at Jasper, and he didn't immediately push her away.
Swiftly coursing through her, a chilling sensation, as if piercing her heart, transformed her expression
into one of icy composure.
Julien casually took a sip from his champagne flute and propped his elbow on the table. With a playful
gaze, he looked at the lively crowd around Jasper.
He clicked his tongue twice and said, "Alyssa, I now understand why you two divorced. He's too
outstanding. Living with him means trouble every day. You won't feel safe at all.
"Look, he should be feeling quite pleased right now. He has probably forgotten about you. You really
are going out of your way for him unnecessarily."
"Don't you think you're talking too much nonsense?" Alyssa coldly shot him a glance.
"But this is not nonsense. It's the truth. It's also because you're my cousin that I'm saying all this.
Otherwise, I wouldn't even bother talking." Julien smirked playfully.
"Get lost," Jasper said coldly to Renee.
"What? Ah!"
Before Renee could react, Jasper forcefully pushed her away, sending her tumbling backward.
With unstable footing and high heels, she tilted backward and fell.
Seeing that, the two women behind her quickly dodged, letting Renee awkwardly fall to the ground.
At this moment, Dominic happened to walk in from outside with other guests and witnessed his
daughter's embarrassment.
"Mr. Dominic, I heard that your daughter is here tonight as well, right?" a nearby guest asked.
Dominic wished he could dig a hole and bury himself.
He regretted bringing Renee here. He had been humiliated before the battle had even begun.
The scene suddenly became somewhat chaotic.

Renee was sitting on the ground, looking completely dumbfounded.
Just then, the unmistakable clicks of high heels approached from behind, each step seemingly treading
upon her spine.
"Mr. Beckett."
The voice was melodious and elegant. Yet it violently shook Jasper's heart.
"I-It's Alyssa!"
"It's really Alyssa! Oh, my God! She's even more beautiful in person. Her figure is just perfect!"
"I really love the suit she's wearing. She looks so cool in it. Suddenly, I feel my high-end dress is not as
appealing anymore."
"Oh, please. If you had Alyssa's face, you'd look good even in a sack. That suit only looks good on her.
No one else could pull it off."
The socialites immediately cleared a path for Alyssa.
Meanwhile, Jasper's eyes were locked on Alyssa. Suppressing the surging desire within him, he
walked past Renee ruthlessly.
