Both Alyssa and Jasper were speechless.

Newton really had a sharp tongue. But it was such good tongue-lashing! "Dad, Anne was my wife. I'm just here to pay her my respects. Why are all of you antagonizing me?" Javier couldn't stand Newton's words anymore. He immediately lost composure in front of his father.

"Your wife? Isn't your wife that criminal, Sophia Kirkman?" Newton snorted.

Javier's hands balled into fists as he burned with anger.

Newton had never once affirmed Sophia's position as his daughter-in-law, yet now, here he was, doing so in such a sarcastic way. What else was Newton doing but insulting and humiliating Javier? "Dad, the truth about Anne's death was late by 20 years. I'm just as devastated after finding out about it!" Javier's eyes were bloodshot as he pointed at his own chest. "Il was under so much pressure all those years ago because | brought Anne and Jasper home. | did it even though you opposed my decision! Didn't | do that all because | loved Anne? You shouldn't humiliate my love for her no matter what!" Alyssa's brows wrinkled. Javier's words were difficult to digest, especially when spoken in front of Anne's gravestone.

Jasper's face was as expressionless and unmoving as his own emotions.

Anne had passed away for so many years. Javier didn't know to cherish her before her death, so it was all the more revolting that he showed his feelings for her after her death.

"Yes, you did love Anne. | was in disbelief when you begged me to let her and Jasper live with us. | couldn't believe that the young man who was sobbing in front of me was my own usually-distant son," Newton said, gazing coldly at Javier.

He continued, "I thought Anne's appearance in your life would finally make you kinder, but I still overestimated you. You may have had feelings for her before, but that was only because she was different from all the other women you'd met.

"You got bored of the diversity of personalities you'd seen, so when you saw Anne, who was different from everyone else, you grew interested in her.

"Plus, you've always been competitive and possessive. You would do anything to get what you want, be it a toy, or power, or even women themselves. After that, you won Anne over.

"But you quickly grew impatient with her since she was so proud and kept to herself. That evil woman, Sophia, appeared in your life and took advantage of the situation to seduce you until you were putty in her hands.

"She wreaked havoc in our family and outright bullied Anne, all for it to end up in the tragedy 20 years ago." Newton grew angrier the more he spoke. He even felt ashamed to stand straight in front of Anne's grave. "I never expected you to end up choosing such a disgusting excuse for a human being to be your wife instead of all the other fine young women.

"That crazy bitch in prison is your lawfully-wedded wife, Javier Beckett. You'd better fulfill your duty as her husband and pay her a last visit instead of putting up this act here in front of us. Don't taint Anne's space any further." Newton really was a hardened, experienced man, able to give such an on-point tongue-lashing.

Javier's lips parted briefly, but no sound came out.

"Jasper, Alice, let's go back to my house. I'll have the newly hired chef cook a delicious meal for you two," Newton said lovingly to Jasper and Alyssa with a bright smile.

"Okay, Grandpa.” The two went up to support Newton as they walked.

Javier watched with an ugly expression as the three people went past him, treating him like he was an outsider.

"What are you still standing here for?" Newton turned around to ask Javier. "You cannot deny that you played a part in Anne's death. Sophia would never have joined our family if it weren't for you, and none of this would've happened, nor would Jasper have lost his mother at such a young age.

"If you're here to apologize, then you better do it kneeling. A murderer's accomplice doesn't deserve to stand before their victim." Privacy and cookie settings Managed by Google. Comples with IAB TCF. CMP ID: 300
