Chapter 483
After spending three days behind bars, Betty finally regained her freedom. However,
despite Simon’s request for Javier to keep the news under wraps, Jasper quickly got wind
of it.
“How did Betty get acquitted? Didn’t you have someone keeping an eye on Abigail Grant?
Did Simon meet with her?” Jasper looked icy as he slammed his fist against the car
window.
“Mr. Beckett, the issue isn’t with Abigail. It’s Bryan Hanssen!” Xavier’s eyes blazed with
anger.
He explained, “Our intel revealed that Simon Lynch had a secret meeting with Bryan
Hanssen as Betty’s attorney, all arranged by Javier. He probably spooked Bryan out with
some bullshit because that dude
immediately took all the blame for Betty.”
“What else could Simon have done? He must have threatened to harm Bryan’s family!
How could an
attorney pull such a dirty trick? How could an attorney resort to such dirty tactics?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJasper’s eyes darkened like the calm before the storm, his fists trembling. He lamented,
“The good name
of Judge Spencer Lynch has been tarnished by his eldest son!”
“If Bryan Hanssen became the scapegoat, what about Abigail …” Xavier’s sentence was
cut short by a
ringing phone.
He picked it up. “What’s the matter?”
Xavier’s expression grew serious after the call. He quickly reported to Jasper,
“Something’s happened.
The police have arrested Abigail on the charges of defamation and perjury!”
Jasper saw that coming. While Abigail deserved to face consequences for her actions, he
couldn’t help
but feel a surge of anger at the outcome.
Betty seemed to be reborn when she arrived at Seaview Manor in tears. In front of Javier
and Newton,
she and Sophia embraced each other tightly, showing off their mother-daughter bond.
Sophia had never been a great actress during her career, but she had a knack for putting
on a
performance when the situation called for it.
“Mom, Dad, you must seek justice for me! Alyssa and Zoe framed me!” Betty seized the
opportunity to vilify Alyssa.
She knelt by Newton’s wheelchair and lamented, “Grandpa, Alyssa wants me gone! She’s
a sly, wicked woman! I wouldn’t have been standing in front of you had it not been for Mr.
Lynch’s help!”
Newton felt torn in the face of Betty’s accusations. On one hand, he refused to believe
that Alice was the woman described by Betty; on the other hand, it was Alice who
provided the police with evidence for
Betty’s arrest.
For the second time in Newton’s life, he was stuck between a rock and a hard place
regarding his family.
Two decades earlier, during the Beckett Group’s rapid expansion in Solana City, Javier and
Chester
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBeckett had become entangled in bribery and land auction scandals in their quest to
dominate the
market and grow the company swiftly.
In the end, Newton had his younger son, Chester, shoulder all the blame for Javier. It
happened partly
because Newton favored his eldest child and partly because Chester was in poor health.
Chester received a four-year prison sentence, but to everyone’s shock, he passed away
from a heart
attack just six months into his sentence.
Newton mourned Chester’s death while his wife’s health deteriorated due to the
heartbreak, eventually leading to her passing. (1
“Grandpa, I told you Alyssa had ulterior motives! She must have married Jasper for her
own gain!” Betty complained and cried on Newton.
Betty continued, “She was probably nice to you because she wanted something from you-
likely those Beckett Group stocks!”
“Dad, she’s right!”
