Chapter 110

Jasper lifted a brow as his expression darkened. Before this, he might have been a little

moody, but he was truly angered at that moment.

Jasper was called to Javier’s study after he changed into a fresh outfit.

“Daddy! You have to help me out! Poor me…” Betty hugged her dad and cried her heart

out. Her tear -stained face was full of injuries from her catfight with her two friends in the

afternoon. Even her lips were chapped. She looked pitiable.

Seated on the couch, Javier hurriedly consoled his daughter. She looked like a mess, unlike

her usual well–presented self. “Jasper’s home. I’ll ask him about it.”

“The scandal is getting out of hand. I got a few calls asking about Betty. I honestly didn’t

know what to say.” Sophia teared up upon mentioning her beloved daughter. “People are

cursing Betty out online. How can she ever show up in public? How will the other elites in

Solana City think of us?”

“Sophie, don’t worry. I will not let them bully my daughter.” Frowning, Javier had a burning

gaze in his eyes.

The door opened. Jasper wandered into the study with a flat expression.

“Jasper, why didn’t you take care of the video scandal? Aren’t you too laid–back as the

president? Javier immediately stopped his son and berated him.

“The Beckett Group has its PR and Legal Departments led by their respective directors.”

Jasper was unruffled. He sounded calm. “I am a president, not a nanny. I will take over

certain issues but not meddle in things that aren’t under my purview.”

“And do

you think this scandal isn’t under your purview? Betty is your sister! Do you plan to watch

as people harass her and slander her?” Sophia pressed against her chest with tears, as

though she’d faint at any moment.

“Sophie, you’re weak. You shouldn’t get emotional,” Javier quickly held her shoulders with

a tender look. Two decades had passed, but Jasper still felt uneasy and suffocated

whenever he saw the display of affection between Javier and Sophia.

Javier had not once mentioned Jasper’s mother in the last two decades. He did not even

pay a visit to her grave. The poor woman, who loved him with every fiber of her being,

was treated as though she had never existed in Javier’s life. The lack of acknowledgment

hurt more than any feeling of resentment and hatred

“I’m fine, Javier.” Sophia coughed softly in Javier’s arms. “I lost control of my temper and

acted out I shouldn’t have troubled Jasper with the issue After all, he must be very

occupied as the

group president.”

She added, “I’m just worried that he might hold a grudge against me, for I am not his

biological

mother. If that’s why he is unwilling to help us out, you shouldn’t blame him. I totally

understand.”

Jasper was sick of Sophia’s drama over the past twenty years. He wondered why Javier

hadn’t

gotten tired of her.

“Sophie, do not overthink. Whatever that rascal thinks, you will always be my wife, which

makes

you his mother!”

Sophia had successfully fanned the fire. The enraged Javier pointed a finger in Jasper’s

unemotional face. “Figure out a solution right away! I need Betty to be removed from the

trending topics, along with her videos! You’ll be liable if you fail to do so!”

“I have come up with a solution, which I told Betty about.” Jasper looked at his feet.

“Daddy, that was not a solution at all! He’s going to send me to hell!” Betty jumped when

she heard

her name mentioned.

Stretching her neck, she grumbled, “He wanted me to issue a public apology to that hotel

employee! Who is she to demand an apology from me? Why should I do that?”

She wailed, “By the way, Alice White dropped by my store to create trouble. She slapped

me in front of everyone! How am I supposed to ever show up in public?”

Sophia and Javier were stunned. “What? Alice slapped you?”

“Look at the slap marks on my face! It’s real!” Betty pointed at her swollen face.

“That’s outrageous! Jasper, did you marry a devil?” Sophia was furious to see her

daughter bullied. A scowl crept onto her gentle face. “How could she hit our Betty! I will

sue her! I will not let her off

the hook.”

“It was Betty who wanted to hit Alice first. Alice was defending herself.” Jasper sounded

unmoved and cold

“So, did you just admit that Alice has hit Betty?”

Jasper went silent, which proved that Betty was telling the truth.

“Call Alice right now! I want her to apologize to Betty. You haven’t gone through the

divorce proceedings with her, right? You must take time off tomorrow to file the divorce at

the court! I do not want you to be associated with her in any way” Javier bellowed.

Jasper furrowed his brows. The divorce had initially been scheduled, but he felt uneasy

after

hearing Javier’s insulting remarks. Without thinking, he blurted out, “I will not.”
