Chapter 492

Sophia and Betty were in the study. Javier would never ask Newton to join. In his eyes,

Newton was on

Jasper’s side.

Javier had firmly positioned himself in the opposite camp from his father. Ever since the

tragic loss of Anne Bartley, Jasper’s mother, who had taken her own life, there was nothing

left between him and

Newton.

Their already strained relationship grew even more distant, exacerbated by the presence

of Alyssa.

However, for Sophia, this growing rift was a welcome sight. She needed father and son to

turn against

each other for her personal gain.

Upon further thought, no matter how powerful Javier was, he would always be under

Newton’s thumb for

having an illegitimate son.

“I want you here to inform you about this,” croaked Javier. He sat on the couch with a stoic

expression

and tossed a freshly printed appointment letter in front of Jasper.

He declared, “I’ve chosen to hire Simon Lynch as Beckett Group’s legal counsel and

Director of Legal Affairs. The letter will be officially circulated tomorrow, and I’ve already

signed it, so there’s no need for

you to do so.”

Sophia and Betty secretly grinned at the development.

“I disagree,” Jasper protested without hesitation.

“I do not need your opinion. Simon Lynch is a rare gem. Don’t you know the importance of

an excellent

attorney?” Javier retorted sharply.

“You heard the conversation between Alyssa and Simon tonight, didn’t you?” Jasper

snickered. “Do you

seriously plan to work with an ungrateful and greedy attorney like him?”

“You-You little brat!” Javier shot up from the couch, only to be overwhelmed by a sudden

dizziness.

Sophia grabbed him just in time and soothed him, “Javier, stay calm! It’s for your health.”

She gently caressed his back while concealing her joy at the unfolding situation.

“The Taylors were the benefactors of the Lynches. The Lynch family has been well taken

care of. Even

Sean Lynch is working in KS Group.

“But that didn’t even stop Simon from deciding to betray the Taylor family for personal

gain. Do you really

“If someone come to him with a better offer, do you think he’d stay by your side?” Jasper

went straight to

the point without showing any mercy.

“You are simply finding an excuse to side with Alyssa Taylor!” Javier refused to stay civil

now that they were speaking in private. He snarled, “Have you fallen for her?”

“What if I have?” Jasper countered calmly, though his heart raced.

Javier reacted as if he’d been struck by lightning.

Sophia and Betty were equally stunned, unable to discern whether Jasper’s confession was

genuine or

merely an attempt to irk Javier.

In his life, Jasper had only made one foolish decision, and that was choosing Liana over

Alyssa.

“Are you telling me you regret that choice? You don’t stand a chance!” Javier shouted, his

eyes twitching

and his voice cracking.

“Even if you’ve fallen in love with Alyssa, you’d better give up now. I will never approve of

your relationship

with her over my dead body!

“If I had known she was Alyssa Taylor, I would never have agreed to that marriage! She

played us for fools

and wasted three years of your life!”

Javier’s cutting remarks hit Jasper hard, fueling his anger. His pupils constricted, burning

with hatred.

Without hesitation, he grabbed the crystal ashtray from the table and smashed it onto the

floor.

Javier yelped and shivered at the sound of the crash. The sudden noise elicited screams

from Sophia and

Betty, who were shocked.

The crystal ashtray had shattered into countless pieces, its shards flying in all directions.

Some of them had struck Sophia, leaving her with cuts on her dress and arm.

She stood there, a mixture of shock and anger welling up as she looked at her bleeding

arm, teetering on

the brink of tears.

“You have no right to criticize Alyssa. She’s done nothing wrong.” Eyes burning and fists

clenched, Jasper confronted Javier, “Was she in the wrong for marrying me? Tell me, has

she wronged any of us or our

family in any way?

“It’s me who wronged her. It’s our family’s fault! One more word about Alyssa, and I’ll

make you pay, even

if you’re my dad!”

Javier shuddered at the crazed look in Jasper’s eyes.
