Chapter 488

After Alyssa’s verbal attacks, Betty hid behind Sophia cowardly without any thoughts of

causing trouble, seeing that Simon had been defeated.

Alyssa went over to Newton and clasped his bony hand with worry, looking closer to him

than Betty ever did. “Grandpa! Why did you call me over at this hour? Are you feeling

unwell?”

“Don’t worry, child. I’m fine.” Newton looked into her bright eyes tenderly and patted the

back of her hand. He reassured her, “I’m perfectly fine. In the best of health.”

She let out a long sigh. “That’s good to hear.”

“Alice, it isn’t anything serious. I wanted you here because, firstly, I missed you, and

secondly, I wanted to understand. What happened between you and Betty? Why did things

escalate?” He sounded sincere.

He added, “You and Betty are both dear to me, and I wish to see the two of you doing well.

I get nervous and concerned every time the both of you cause a stir.”

Despite his choice of words, Alyssa could tell he wanted to speak up for Betty. She felt a

lump in her throat. It seemed that no matter how kindly she treated him, she would never

be treated the same as his

granddaughter.

He’d still have a soft spot for his precious granddaughter, even if she was, in reality, a

deceitful

backstabber.

“Dad, Betty nearly didn’t make it out of the police station alive during those two days!”

Seizing the opportunity, Sophia embraced Betty tightly.

She sobbed together with her daughter and lamented, “The police took turns interrogating

her in 24 hours, threatening her and scolding her. They didn’t even allow her to sleep.

Look at this poor girl! She’s utterly

drained from that torture!”

Indeed, Betty appeared more exhausted than before, and her tears added to her

miserable look.

Newton had doted on Betty since she was a child. She might not be as talented as Alyssa,

nor did she please him the way Alyssa had. Besides, Betty rarely visited him after gaining

her independence in

adulthood.

Despite all that, Betty was his granddaughter. At his age, he only wanted to enjoy family

time.

Jasper felt a pang of unease when he noticed the tears in Alyssa’s eyes, seeing her

confidence waver. It

was clear she felt hurt by what Newton had said to her.

It reminded him of how she had been treated as an outsider during their three years of

marriage. Not only

did he not feel bad for her, he secretly wished that she’d give up and suggest a divorce.

The look on Alyssa was a reenactment of her life in the past. Jasper couldn’t afford to

mistreat her any

longer.

With that in mind, he went up to Newton with rage in his eyes. To everyone’s shock, he

casually wrapped

an arm around her shoulders and drew her closer, making her appear like his woman.

They looked like

they had never been divorced.

She glared at him, freezing in place. “Jasper-”

Refusing to let her go, he tightened his grip on her rounded shoulder. “Grandpa, instead of

asking her what

happened, you should ask about what Betty had done.”
