Jasper felt that he treated Alice very well other than the fact that he didn’t love her.

When she was still living at Seaview Manor, she enjoyed all the luxuries money could give.

The housekeepers there served Alice well, and no one caused her any trouble.

Heck, Jasper even gave her a supplementary credit card. He was never one to skimp out

on

money, after all.

Alice never used that card in her purchases over the past three years. Still, her life as the

Beckett family’s young madam was much better than her life as a medical aide in the

nursing home.

How dare Alice say such things in public! She made it sound like she had gone through

many

hardships and torment!

The more Jasper thought about it, the angrier he became. His eyes started to become

bloodshot as

he gritted his teeth tightly.

“Tch! You sure are stubborn, huh? Since you’re the manager of this hotel, I’ll be

straightforward. Your hotel needs to provide me with a solution regarding this incident

today.”

Betty continued haughtily, “Either you compensate me with a necklace which is the same

as the missing one. It’s not that expensive, honestly. It’s over 200 thousand dollars, give

or take.

“Or, you can have the cops arrest this thief. As the hotel manager, you’ll have to publicly

apologize to me. Money’s not an issue. The thing is, I find it difficult to forgive and forget.”

Betty flipped her curls while rolling her eyes in disdain.

There was no way she’d admit in front of everyone that Alice was her former sister–in–law.

That would be very humiliating for her.

Besides, this was the perfect opportunity to push that country bumpkin around. After all,

Alice was the one who showed off in the charity auction some time ago. She was nothing

without her identity as Jonah’s lover. That was why Betty intended to trample all over her

while she could.

“Mr. Beckett, Ms. Betty is bullying Madam Alice! Xavier never liked Betty from the start.

So, he couldn’t help but worry about Alice.

“Be patient.”

Jasper narrowed his eyes slightly. He was very curious about his ex–wife.

After all, he didn’t know what Alice was like at work. Jasper only remembered her as a

humble

housewife.

Managing a hotel was equivalent to working in the hospitality industry. Everyone knew just

how

had appointed her as the hotel manager.

“Ms. Beckett, you can lodge a police report immediately since your missing necklace is

worth over 200 thousand dollars. If you truly want compensation, we can call the police for

you. After all, the sooner we call them the higher the chances of finding your necklace.”

Alyssa continued, “Once the police arrive at the hotel, every employee in this hotel will

cooperate with them in their investigation, including me. I’ll provide them with the

surveillance footage and the employees‘ belongings. The police can search through them

as long as they have a searching

warrant.”

She remained calm and collected.

The crowd began to murmur.

“She’s right! That woman should’ve called the cops right away! What’s the use of causing

a ruckus here without doing that in the first place?”

think she forgot where she left her necklace. That’s why she’s just kicking up a fuss over

nothing.”

Betty was so furious that her face turned red. “What’s the use of having the police

investigate the

hotel? That thief must have stashed my necklace somewhere else!”

“I’m not a thief! I didn’t steal your necklace!” The housekeeper’s eyes became bloodshot

due to

rage. Her body kept trembling as well.

“Our hotel is fully equipped with surveillance cameras which provide high–quality live feed

in all

common areas besides the restrooms, the shower rooms, and the staff rooms.

“Plus, I’ve already ordered all employees of the housekeeping department to stay in this

hotel the

moment I received the news. If any of them did steal your necklace, it’d still be in this

hotel. The

culprit wouldn’t have time to stow the necklace elsewhere.”

Alyssa fished her phone out and waved it casually. “Also, I called the police when I was on

my

way here. They’ll be here in about ten minutes.”

She added, “Once the police are done wrapping up the case, I’ll gladly apologize to you in

public.”

Alyssa’s speech was flawless, to say the least.

“Madam Alice is amazing! Her way of dealing with this incident is perfect!” Xavier praised

excitedly. He was on the verge of becoming Alice’s biggest fan.

Jasper glanced at Xavier coldly. But he couldn’t help but feel captivated by Alice’s

performance.

He had to admit that Alice was calm, witty, and domineering when she was dealing with

Betty.

*Fine. You’d better keep your word,” Betty said angrily.

“Of course. I’m the manager of this hotel, after all. By right, I should take responsibility for

my

guests. If my employees are the ones at fault, that is.”

Alyssa continued to smile at Betty, yet it never reached her eyes.

At that moment, Sean and the manager of the housekeeping department rushed into the

lobby.

Sean was carrying a plastic bag carefully as though it was the most precious treasure in

the

entire world.

“We found Ms. Beckett’s necklace!”
