Now Orlander and Minnie were truly starstruck.Winston Taylor's daughter? THE Winston Taylor from Belbanks?"Y-You're Mr. Taylor's daughter?" Orlander gasped, looking Alyssa up and down.Behind Alyssa, Sean scowled just the slightest. "People usually whip out their credit cards, not their fathers.""Yes. Mr. Javier and Mr. Beckett are aware of this as well." Alyssa grinned. "We've met."Jasper looked away briefly, thinking, "We've met? Was that all?"She spoke as if they were mere strangers."Ah, so you're all acquainted!" Orlander chuckled heartily. As someone experienced in politics, he knew just when to change his tune. "I'm terribly sorry for my ignorance, Ms. Alyssa!"He then shook Alyssa's hand."I'm sure I'm just an equal business match as Mr. Javier, no?" Alyssa's words sounded light on the surface but carried an imposing sense behind them.Orlander blinked rapidly. He found it amazing how someone so young could already carry such an imposing air. Like father, like da

"Besides, isn't it a bit sudden for you to come all the way here without notifying Mr. Hodgson or acknowledging our booking of this venue today just to pitch your offer? It sounds to me like you don't take this seriously at all.""Exactly!" Betty muttered.Alyssa sighed. "I know. But I couldn't help it. If I had come by any second later, Mr. Hodgson would have never had a chance to regret his decision.""Regret his decision?" Sophia shrieked. "What do you mean?"Alyssa ignored her and said to Orlander, "Mr. Hodgson, won't you consider working with us? You're not refusing my offer just because I'm a woman, are you? I was sent here on behalf of my brother Jonah. "As CEO of KS Group, he gave me permission to oversee everything in relation to this project. I can have him verify my statement if you don't believe me.""I believe you, Ms. Alyssa, but Javier and I truly do go a long way back. Our countless business partnerships have solidified my unwavering trust in them." Orlander's to

None of the Becketts knew what to do now. From Henry's arrest being leaked to public media to Sophia being detained for questioning—it all left what remained of their family reeling in utter shock."Why are you arresting me? Do you have any evidence?" Sophia cried, her composed demeanor caving like an avalanche.Betty could only gape in fear as the men led her mother away."Javier, Javier help me!" Sophia cried as the men brought her away. "Please help me!" Javier wanted to, but he couldn't risk losing composure in front of these people. He growled, "What is the meaning of this, Ms. Alyssa?""Whatever do you mean, sir? The Investigative Bureau is the one responsible for arresting your wife. Not me." Alyssa grinned."How did you know this news would come out at 3:00 pm? How could you have had the guts to spew all those baseless nonsense beforehand? It all points to you having been the mastermind behind this trickery!""That might be a stretch, Mr. Javier. My family business is a

"I appreciate the thought, Mrs. Hodgson." Alyssa nodded kindly. "But I'm a divorcee with no intention of remarrying anytime soon. I'd only waste you and your son's time in that regard.""Oh, never! So what if you've divorced? You're still a gorgeous, strong young woman, far more formidable than many other women your age!" Betty's cheeks grew hot with embarrassment and anger upon hearing this. She shot Alyssa a hateful glare, feeling like a fading star beside a bright sun. With Alyssa around, nothing else ever shone.Alyssa and Sean soon left in the golf cart, leaving the Becketts to their mess."Well, Javier, I take it you'd understand if we call this partnership quits. There will be better opportunities in the future." Orlander nodded at Javier, then quickly left with his wife.If he insisted on giving Javier this project, nothing good would come. His entire reputation might be dragged through the dirt.Meanwhile, while Javier was getting a headache trying to resolve the curren

In a matter of hours, the Beckett Group made the headlines nationwide and across all social media. A video of Sophia being dragged off the golf course had surfaced and soon became viral all across the web.A company as big as Beckett Group could have easily silenced such an internet movement. Unfortunately, Alyssa had gotten to them before they could, so it was useless.The company behind the news channel that streamed the 3:00 pm breaking news had KS Group as their main shareholder. Hence, they followed Alyssa's whims and instructions. In fact, if Alyssa asked, they could even make a silly remix of it and stream it 24/7.Some creative content creators had even turned Sophia and Betty's dumbfounded, shocked, and aggrieved expressions into stickers and emoticons. They soon became everyone's top-used stickers.Javier was doing all he could to quell the rumors by getting Sophia back from the Investigative Bureau, feeling as if he had lost a solid decade of his life.Meanwhile, Alys

Tatiana was always considerate and grateful, so Alyssa never really knew how to pamper her."Taty! Are you back in the city?" Alyssa asked happily over the phone."Yep, I'm at the school," Tatiana replied. She sheepishly asked, "Um … Are you doing anything tonight?""You wanna hang out?" Alyssa immediately knew what Tatiana was up to."Mhm!" Tatiana eagerly answered. "We haven't had a chance to properly spend time together since you came home. Why don't we have dinner tonight? My treat!""Just dinner? No drinks after?" Alyssa teased.Tatiana's tone took on a mischievous edge. "Drinks afterward, then! We'll go for some karaoke too. We haven't had that much fun in ages. I'll definitely sing better than you.""Hahaha! You're on!" Alyssa laughed. "We'll see who's the final victor tonight!"…During the board meeting at the Beckett Group, Javier emphasized three critical directives. The first was to eliminate any negative consequences resulting from the actions of Sophia and Henry,

"Don't cross the line, Jasper Beckett!" Javier cried, slamming his hand on the desk."Business is business, Dad. Keep the personal things out of it. That's what you've always taught us." Jasper languidly leaned into his chair, expression calm."You're greedy, that's what you are! Haven't you had enough? What should have been Justin's post was given to you already, yet now you still want to aim for the board? Why don't you just swap in as President yourself?" Javier roared.Jasper sneered, shooting his father a cold glare. "Haven't you benefited more from me being in my current position? Ever since I was young, you have set a price on every single thing I wanted to attain. "You know full well why I'm in the CEO's chair today, so why act like the innocent victim here? We're the only ones in this room. Don't you get tired of putting on this act?"Javier was left red-faced and speechless. "Me as VP, in exchange for the company's salvation from a serious crisis. It's your choice." J

"Ms. Alyssa, I've heard there's a wonderful café in the university with the best macchiatos. Why don't I grab some for you and Ms. Tatiana?" Sean suggested."That would be lovely. Bring her out here too." Alyssa's eyes never left the plans she'd printed out. She added, "She didn't answer my call just now, so call her later when you head inside. I don't think she knows we're using this entrance.""Alright, miss." Sean stepped out of the car and went into the university. The moment he did, several young students gave him admiring looks. He was quite attractive, tall, and dressed in a proper suit and tie. Sean ignored the looks sent his way and proceeded to buy two coffees. Nonetheless, he still managed to catch the attention of the female baristas. Two fashionably dressed students walked into the café, all designer clothing and jewelry."Did you hear? The performance arts' convocation play is setting Tatiana Taylor as the female lead!"Sean paused what he was doing and focuse
