Chapter 97
Meanwhile, Liana was also crying on the other end of the line.
“Alice knew that Grandpa never liked me, yet she kept using him just to cause trouble for
me! She’s such a shameless bitch!”
Jasper kept staring at Alyssa the whole time, so he didn’t hear what Liana said.
Alyssa was bawling her eyes out without a care in the world, but Jasper could feel her raw
emotion. His heart pricked in pain whenever he saw a teardrop dripping off her chin.
“What’s wrong, Alice? Please don’t scare me.” Newton had been through a lot in life, yet
he couldn’t help but panic when facing a woman’s tears.
Alyssa kept sobbing the whole time. “Grandpa, I… I broke the bracelet! I’ve been trying so
hard to fix it, b–but I just can’t….
“That’s why I thought I could make a new bracelet which is the same as the old one, but…
but I was afraid that you’d get mad at me once you find out…”
She continued crying. “I’m sorry for lying to you, Grandpa! I’m so sorry.
Alyssa trembled as she cried her heart out. Her hands were already drenched with tears.
She looked so pathetic at that moment.
After listening to the tearful confession, Jasper could only remain rooted to his spot. He
was shocked.
He finally understood what Alyssa was up to over the past few days.

At the same time, he realized the reason why her fingers were covered in calluses. It
turned out that she was doing her best to recreate the bracelet Newton had given her.
The sight of Alyssa’s tears made him feel bitter and distressed.
“Oh my. It’s just a small matter, my dear Alice.”
Newton grabbed Alyssa’s hand affectionately while smiling at her. “Actually, I knew your
bracelet isn’t the same one I gave you when you first came in. I had a feeling that it was
broken. Otherwise, you would’ve continued wearing it as usual.
“I’m not going to blame you, Alice. Doris had a huge collection of bracelets that could fill
up a chest. I wanted to give them to you at first, but I was worried that you wouldn’t
accept them. That’s why I selected the best bracelet and came up with an excuse just to
give it to you.”
Newton explained, “Back then, Doris often told me jokingly that the bracelets were a huge

Alyssa finally calmed down after hearing Newton’s explanation. Then again, her eyes were

teary, and the tip of her nose was still red.
“Jasper! Where did you go, you bastard?”
Newton slapped his wheelchair’s armrest. He yelled, “You st* pid brat, get your ass here
and comfort your wife!”
Liana quickly called out to Jasper, “Don’t go there, Jasper! I’m still not done talking to
you-”
“I need to deal with something right now. I’ll talk to you later.”
Jasper hung up once he was done speaking.
When Liana noticed the call was disconnected, she was so mad that her breathing became
heavier. Her cheeks gradually reddened due to how angry she was.
“Alice, you filthy bitch! I’ll make you suffer!”
Liana soon called Sophia on the phone.
“Aunt Sophia, please help me! That Alice bitch is spending time with Jasper at Grandpa
Newton’s
villa right now!”
Liana started crying once again. “At this rate, Jasper will fall in love with her! He’d come
running.

Liana continued tearfully, “Aunt Sophia, if I can’t marry into the Beckett family, I won’t be

She knew very well that ranting to Sophia wouldn’t help her in this situation. Instead, she

calmly.
“What should I do, then?” Liana asked in alarm.
“Just keep acting pitiful. Make sure to attract Jasper’s attention no matter what.”
Sophia chuckled coldly. “Alice will never be your match since I’m on your side.”

Meanwhile, Jasper rushed into the study hurriedly
“I’m here, Grandpa.”
“Are you deaf? Didn’t you hear Alice crying just now? Were you planning to ignore her if I
didn’t
call out to you?” Newton didn’t hesitate to berate his grandson right away.
He’d gladly order Jasper around just to entertain Alyssa.
“No.”
