Chapter 305
“It’s way better than welcoming that scandal-ridden, shameless bitch into our family and
letting the
Gardners leech off us. We’ve only announced the engagement without an official party. It’s
easy to cut them off,” Betty concluded.
“Shut up and eat your meal!” Sophia glowered at Betty. She was frustrated at her
thoughtless daughter for touching the sore spot.
Javier looked more sullen than before. Sophia’s misstep had dragged the Beckett Group
through the mud
once more.
Thankfully, the internet was focused on Liana’s scandal-ridden past at the time being. If
not, the Beckett Group would become a joke due to the scandal surrounding Liana’s
cheating and the existence of the bastard child.
“Madam Sophia!” The butler shuffled into the dining hall with a troubled expression. “Ms.
Gardner is out there. She demands tó meet with you.”
Sophia’s face crumbled. She felt as if she was on pins and needles.
“Go meet with her. We’re family, after all,” Javier chimed in frostily, eyelids drooping.
Knowing that Liana had nothing to lose and would loiter around until she got what she
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwanted, Sophia had no choice but to emerge from the villa.
“Aunt Sophia!” Liana ran toward Sophia in tears and grasped her arm. “You must save my
mom! She’s your sister as well!”
“How can I possibly save her?” Sophia was enraged at the thought of her dumb sister. She
hissed, “Only a pea brain like your mom would even consider contract killing!
“It’s easy to send that young child anywhere. Why would she try to dispose of the
evidence and cover her
tracks? Does she think that murder is a piece of cake?” (1
“What else could we have done? Alyssa had learned about my past in Mosgravia. She had
the powerful
backing of the Taylors, and she wanted to destroy me.
“It was a matter of time before she found out about the child! We had no choice!”
“Like mother, like daughter. Alyssa was playing you. Haven’t you heard of the Wild Horse
Effect? She was
just a harmless vampire bat who sucked on your blood. You went into panic mode, thinking
that she
would suck you dry.

“You lost your mind before she made any move and messed things up! Alyssa Taylor
defeated you and Rosaline with the flick of a finger. How can I help her when there’s solid
evidence of her crime?”
Sophia seethed in resentment when all her efforts of raising Liana as her pawn went down
the drain. She needed to cut her loss and sever her ties to the Gardners to avoid getting
afflicted.
“You can’t just sit back and do nothing! The debtors are knocking on my door every day.
My dad’s in a coma. I could barely pay his hospital bills!” Liana shuddered at the thought
of those ruthless debtors.
She continued, “Can you at least pay off the debts for me? Just see it as a personal loan.
I’ll pay you back when my family’s in a better situation.”
“And what can you offer to pay your debts with?” Sophia was no longer patient with Liana
because there was nothing she could gain from the latter.
She smirked and said, “Your brother’s in jail, and your dad is in a coma. There’s no one at
the helm of your family. 1
“The Gardners are an empty shell. Even if I sell you off, I can’t pay your debts with that
money. If I were you, I’d buy a ticket to Mosgravia and stay there for good. You are done
for in this country.

Sophia was clearly unwilling to be involved with her niece. She impatiently swatted Liana’s
hand away to
free herself from the burden.
To Sophia’s dismay, Liana clawed into her arm tightly with a devilish look in her misty
eyes. “Aunt Sophia, we were once partners. I listened to you from a young age and ran
errands for you. Have you forgotten
about that?”
Sophia was seized by panic. “What are you going to do?”
“My reputation is in tatters, and Jasper hates me now. I have nothing to lose.” Liana’s
battered face grew
sinister. An anxious and fretful gleam flashed across her eyes.
you refuse to help, I will tell Mr. Javier everything you asked me to do over the years.
“I’ll tell him how you groomed me to get closer to Jasper and how you made me spread
the rumors to ostracize him and worsen his mother’s depression, driving her to kill
herself… I will tell Mr. Javier and
Jasper every single detail.
“Look, we are family. Do not force my hand.”
