threatened
“Fly over?” Zoe retorted through gritted teeth. That means you would have completed
your preparations
already. That means you might have even bought that man’s favor. He’ll just come and tell
lies about me!”
Things halted at this stalemate.
“You really are quite cunning, Zoe Harper, Sophia said.
Knowing that there was no way this conversation would progress in her favor with its
current direction,
she decided to bring up Alyssa again.
“You used my daughter as a pawn to attack Alyssa, taking advantage of our competition
with KS World
Hotel to fulfill your little plan. If it succeeded, you’d win and never be found out as the

“You could even push the blame entirely onto Betty! Unfortunately for you, Ms. Alyssa was
Alexa herself.
Otherwise, your evil plot would have played out according to plan!”
—-
Zoe’s face turned red instantly. “Mrs. Beckett, how could you how could you accuse me of
something
so vile! I-I respected you!”
Penelope asked shakily, “You… You were the one who planned to harm Alyssa, Zoe?”
Her body had always been frail. Hearing this jarring news, she could only hold onto the
stair railing to
keep herself standing upright.
“Mom, Landon, I have nothing against Alyssa whatsoever! Why would I do that to her?”
Zoe cried,
stomping angrily like she always did as a kid.
They always let her have her way when she behaved like this, no matter how serious a
mistake or fault
she had made. Landon would always placate her and never pursue the matter further.
But right now, Landon’s gaze contained a harsh steeliness that made her blood run cold.
“Nothing against her? You hold the world against her! Betty yelled angrily, revealing Zoe’s
hatred of her family.
Betty continued, “You’re so jealous of Alyssa because of your little crush on my brother-
because she was
his ex-wife!
“You can’t stand the thought of her treating her well while not bothering to treat you the
same. That’s why
you’re trying all you can to remove her from the picture!”
“Sadly, you seemed to have neglected one important factor,” Sophia added, a sneer on
her face.
Sophia pressed on. “Alyssa Taylor is not only important to Jasper. She’s also incredibly
important to your
brother, Landon. If I remember correctly, your brother tried courting Alyssa, but he failed.
“However, I believe he still holds affection for her, and I’m sure he wouldn’t let anyone
harm those he
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcares about, right?”
“Y-You!” Zoe gritted out, shaking with pure upset. “Don’t believe their lies, Landon! I do
like Jasper, but
they’re divorced now! I have nothing to worry about with Alyssa anymore!”
Landon inhaled deeply, as if he were a god preparing to wreak the most dangerous
thunderstorm.
He had not a single ounce of belief or patience for his sister’s defense right now.
Just then, his secretary, Angelina, rushed in. “Sir, the police are here.”
She then looked at Betty. “They must’ve been searching at the Beckett Residence before
getting to know
that Ms. Betty is here.”
“The p-police…?” Betty whimpered, legs quivering.
Sophia had grown pale, too. She clung to her daughter’s shaking hand.
“Ms. Betty Beckett!”
Just then, two policemen dressed in civilian outfits stormed into the room.
They said, “We have a warrant to take you in to assist in the investigation into KS World
Hotel’s breach of
company information. You have the right to remain silent. Any and all statements you say
from here on
out can and will be used against you in a law of court!”
