Chapter 785
Sophia was in disbelief. In front of everyone, despite being his elder, Jasper openly mocked her.
Sophia stated, “Heh, being the Beckett family’s mistress demands that I guide this young one!”
Sophia glared at Alyssa before adding, “Alyssa, this is Seaview Manor, not your Heightsnew Villa! As
the Beckett family’s chairwoman and mistress, how can I tolerate you spewing nonsense here?”
Jasper couldn’t bear it any longer. He was about to speak, but Alyssa interrupted with a contemptuous
smile as she asked, “Mistress? Does Mr. Beckett Senior recognize you as the mistress?”
A wave of astonishment swept through the crowd.
Alyssa’s arrogant behavior in front of Sophia showed that she truly deserved to be the young lady of
the
Taylor family!
Betty watched her mother’s face shift between shades of red and white. It was an almost unbearable
sight that left her feeling humiliated..
She wanted to defend her mother but hesitated upon seeing Landon and Jasper present. They would
undoubtedly back Alyssa, that vile woman, without any conditions.
What made her most apprehensive was Javier. He hadn’t said a word to defend her mother.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA shiver ran down her spine as she decided it was best to quietly observe for the time being.
“Do you even have the audacity to claim the title of the Beckett family’s mistress here? You’re merely
benefiting from Mr. Javier’s favoritism. From what I’ve gathered, neither the entire Beckett Group nor
the
upper circles of Solana City acknowledge you as the Beckett family’s mistress, correct?”
Alyssa tilted her head, hands in her pockets, wearing a bright and arrogant expression. It seemed like
no
one in the world could match her.
“When it comes to the Beckett family’s mistress, it should be Justin’s birth mother, the legal wife of
Javier
Beckett. At least, that’s how it should be.”
Alyssa’s words shocked everyone who was present.
Sophia’s heart felt like it had been stabbed with a knife. Before she could feel the pain, Alyssa’s second
sword came stabbing.
“If not her, it should be Mr. Beckett’s mother, Ms. Anne Bartley.”
Anne …
In the past, when her mother kept provoking Newton, her father, being the biological son of her
grandfather, wholeheartedly protected his beloved wife.
On several occasions, he nearly got into physical altercations with the old man! However, what
unfolded
this time left Betty bewildered.
She couldn’t understand why her father began casting doubts on her mother with just a single question
from Alyssa.
“I didn’t intend to question you. You’re overthinking it,” Javier said, furrowing his brow and tightening his
fingers.
“Of course, there’s absolutely nothing like that! How could I possibly know such a person!”
Sophia’s temples glistened with sweat, and she glared at Alyssa with hatred.
Sophia said, “Alyssa, I know we’ve had our differences, but I’ve moved on from that. Why are you
approaching me now that your family is facing issues? I’m not an insurance company, so why should
your
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfamily turn to me for answers when something goes wrong? Do you think I’m an easy target?”
Alyssa smiled calmly before saying, “Mrs. Beckett, are you feeling nervous? I just asked if you were
acquainted with the attacker. Nothing else. Why are you so on edge? Could it be that a guilty
conscience
is at play?”
“Alyssa!” Sophia’s anger was tangible, as if smoke were about to billow from her ears, and her eyes
were
bulging. “I’m offering you the respect due to the good relationship between your father and my father-
in-
law. Don’t take it too far!”
“Holy crap!” Landon’s eyes flared red with anger. He would have charged up and given Sophia a good
beating if it weren’t for the elders present. 1
Jasper’s fists clenched tight, a terrifying gloom shrouding his ink-black pupils. “Sophia, if you truly see
yourself as Mrs. Beckett, be mindful of your words.”
“Bastard!” Sophia seethed inwardly. “You’re just a pawn trailing behind that cunning little vixen!”
