"I'm perfectly fine, Lyla," Alyssa said as she hugged her third stepmother affectionately."Well, alright then. I'll prepare some snacks for you two." Lyla then left the study, but not before making a bullhorn gesture with her hands to show Alyssa that Winston was currently furious. Alyssa responded with a reassuring "okay" sign and a playful wink.Neil also left the study, giving them some privacy."I heard everything you said to Lyla earlier, Dad." Alyssa sat down beside her father, hand wrapping around his shoulders. She continued, "You're underestimating me. I wouldn't be charging my way through the city if I didn't have the guts or ability for it. Most players there are like fledglings compared to someone as resilient as a phoenix, like me.""Even so, I hate to see those featherless pigeons pecking at you so relentlessly." Winston shook his head and added, "Why did you have to get on their bad side? I've been so worried about you all this while. I'm old, Alyssa. I shou

Betty once again grew viral on social media, dragging Beckett Group's stocks down with her as well. The online comments and attacks on her after the auction hadn't stopped since. Ada publicly denouncing her contract with Beckett Group didn't help either."Some people can try all they want, but they'll never be able to stand out against someone like Alyssa Taylor. Ms. Alyssa is gorgeous and talented. She even manages her family's hotel! "Unlike some people who only know to scheme and plot in the shadows like some cowardly snake. They really embarrass all of us by lying to Ada Kingsley like that!""Don't compare that Beckett girl with our lovely Ms. Alexa! They're from entirely different worlds!""I'm not surprised to hear what Betty did, honestly. Like mother, like daughter, as they say.""Are there any good apples in the Beckett family at this point? The police should really look into them and see if they're up to anything shady."Jasper scheduled an emergency board meeting on

Jasper was clearly humiliating her in front of everyone.Sure enough, disdain and contempt clouded everyone's gazes when they looked at her."You can't simply give this order just because you're the CEO! The president should be the one making this decision. How could you abuse your power?" Having no other alternative but this, Sophia decided to use that to attack Jasper.But Jasper merely smirked. "So you mean to say that the president will let Betty off the hook for all her hazardous actions? "Even if she has stolen another business' confidential information, cheated and lied to a client, intentionally created a counterfeit of an internationally renowned piece of insured jewelry, and caused our stocks to plummet—all because she's the president's daughter?"His words struck Sophia like hidden blades.The board members watched intently as she trembled in her shoes, at a loss for words."There is no such thing as fairness when it comes to the business world. The fairness we see

Jasper's lips stretched into a thin line. "She has Jameson now, besides her throng of brothers. I don't need to kiss her ass even more. That's embarrassing to a man of my stature."Xavier quickly cried, "But Mr. Jasper, you're not even in her neutral books at this point. This is the only way to win her back!"Jasper glared at his secretary, making the man shut up instantly."We've divorced. There's no use trying to revive anything. I don't intend on getting her back either." Jasper cleared his throat, his voice hoarse. "What's mine would never leave me, and what's not, well, there's no point chasing after it once it's gone. I have never regretted leaving her. Never."…Sophia stormed back to Seaview Manor, bursting into tears even before stepping into the study. She clung onto Javier, sobbing and crying her misery out. "How could Jasper do this to his own sister? What a cruel child! He didn't want to help. That's fine. But how could he dismiss Betty from her post? "How cou

As chaos unfolded in Seaview Manor, Alyssa leisurely enjoyed the sun in her family home's gardens. She sat on a swing, which was usually reserved for her nowadays—only because Winston had explicitly made it for her mother. According to her family, her mother would often spend her days in this swing, enjoying the nature around her like a carefree child or taking a nap there in the afternoon.Whenever her mother was there, Winston would come and gently push the swing from behind or cuddle with her, watching the seasons change.After her mother passed, Winston would have the servants clean the swing every other day. It was as if the woman had only left for a long trip, ready to come back to her swing at any time."Ms. Alyssa, Ada KIngsley has confirmed her stance to work with us and would like to invite you to dinner. She'd also like to apologize once again," Sean reported, slowly pushing Alyssa on her swing. He continued, "She's been calling my phone countless times these past f

Crater Mountain was where Alyssa had first met Jasper 13 years ago. It was where Jasper had saved her life."Elijah, you say?" Alyssa asked excitedly upon hearing her friend's name."Yes, Mr. Elijah is retiring next month, so this month is his last. He'll be going home to his hometown after I take over." Elias sighed. He continued, "I saw your name in Mr. Elijah's books. You must be really important to him. I hope you can visit him sometime this month before he leaves. He has pancreatic cancer, and we don't know how long he has left …" "What?" Alyssa cried, sitting up straight."He was already in the third stage when they found it. You know how cancer can be. It's nearly unstoppable if untreated …""I understand," Alyssa said solemnly. "I'll visit him soon.""Please don't tell him I told you this, Ms. White. He's always been adamant about having a strong, independent image. He doesn't want others to see him weak or pity him, so …""I've known him for 13 years. Don't you worry

Sophia asserted, "I was the one who saved you when she turned her back on us! Your father and grandfather haven't stopped losing faith in you since that scandal at your grandfather's birthday!""Dad would never! He loves me the most!" Betty whined.A loud smack was heard as a hard slap landed on Betty's cheek. "What have I taught you all these years? Never, ever talk back to me!"Betty's ear was ringing with the force of the hit. She curled away, cupping her swelling cheek as she ground her teeth angrily."Now you've been toyed around again by that rotten brat Zoe Harper. Tell me. What else are you good for at this point? If you were born a man, this family would have crashed and burned in your hands!" Sophia was channeling all the rage she felt suffering at Jasper and Javier's hands. She continued, "If you didn't have what it takes, you should have just listened to what I say like your sister, Lauren, and not continuously give Alyssa Taylor the upper hand!"If your sister wer

The servants inhaled sharply, some even covering their mouths in shock. Did Sophia intend to take advantage of her marital status to turn the household upside down?All eyes were on Zoe and Penelope, the latter of whom had a look of utter surprise on her face."Darling, is what Mrs. Beckett is saying true?" Penelope asked Zoe.Zoe swiftly put on her act of innocence. "Of course not! Betty was the one who came up with the idea of getting someone to mimic the jewelry for Ada Kingsley!" Zoe said. Betty glared at her like she might slit her throat right now. "Stop with your filthy lies, Zoe Harper! You were the one who wanted to persuade Ada and make Alyssa fall from her pedestal! You were the one who came up with this idea!""Alyssa … Alyssa Taylor? What does this have to do with her?" Penelope asked, still surprised."I …" Now Zoe was stumped. She swallowed nervously, thinking Betty must be determined to end things with her now that she had brought up Alyssa."Where do you
