Chapter 483

After spending three days behind bars, Betty finally regained her freedom. However,

despite Simon’s request for Javier to keep the news under wraps, Jasper quickly got wind

of it.

“How did Betty get acquitted? Didn’t you have someone keeping an eye on Abigail Grant?

Did Simon meet with her?” Jasper looked icy as he slammed his fist against the car

window.

“Mr. Beckett, the issue isn’t with Abigail. It’s Bryan Hanssen!” Xavier’s eyes blazed with

anger.

He explained, “Our intel revealed that Simon Lynch had a secret meeting with Bryan

Hanssen as Betty’s attorney, all arranged by Javier. He probably spooked Bryan out with

some bullshit because that dude

immediately took all the blame for Betty.”

“What else could Simon have done? He must have threatened to harm Bryan’s family!

How could an

attorney pull such a dirty trick? How could an attorney resort to such dirty tactics?”

Jasper’s eyes darkened like the calm before the storm, his fists trembling. He lamented,

“The good name

of Judge Spencer Lynch has been tarnished by his eldest son!”

“If Bryan Hanssen became the scapegoat, what about Abigail …” Xavier’s sentence was

cut short by a

ringing phone.

He picked it up. “What’s the matter?”

Xavier’s expression grew serious after the call. He quickly reported to Jasper,

“Something’s happened.

The police have arrested Abigail on the charges of defamation and perjury!”

Jasper saw that coming. While Abigail deserved to face consequences for her actions, he

couldn’t help

but feel a surge of anger at the outcome.

Betty seemed to be reborn when she arrived at Seaview Manor in tears. In front of Javier

and Newton,

she and Sophia embraced each other tightly, showing off their mother-daughter bond.

Sophia had never been a great actress during her career, but she had a knack for putting

on a

performance when the situation called for it.

“Mom, Dad, you must seek justice for me! Alyssa and Zoe framed me!” Betty seized the

opportunity to vilify Alyssa.

She knelt by Newton’s wheelchair and lamented, “Grandpa, Alyssa wants me gone! She’s

a sly, wicked woman! I wouldn’t have been standing in front of you had it not been for Mr.

Lynch’s help!”

Newton felt torn in the face of Betty’s accusations. On one hand, he refused to believe

that Alice was the woman described by Betty; on the other hand, it was Alice who

provided the police with evidence for

Betty’s arrest.

For the second time in Newton’s life, he was stuck between a rock and a hard place

regarding his family.

Two decades earlier, during the Beckett Group’s rapid expansion in Solana City, Javier and

Chester

Beckett had become entangled in bribery and land auction scandals in their quest to

dominate the

market and grow the company swiftly.

In the end, Newton had his younger son, Chester, shoulder all the blame for Javier. It

happened partly

because Newton favored his eldest child and partly because Chester was in poor health.

Chester received a four-year prison sentence, but to everyone’s shock, he passed away

from a heart

attack just six months into his sentence.

Newton mourned Chester’s death while his wife’s health deteriorated due to the

heartbreak, eventually leading to her passing. (1

“Grandpa, I told you Alyssa had ulterior motives! She must have married Jasper for her

own gain!” Betty complained and cried on Newton.

Betty continued, “She was probably nice to you because she wanted something from you-

likely those Beckett Group stocks!”

“Dad, she’s right!”
