Chapter 786

Sophia flourished and later surpassed, eventually being legitimized by Javier. She assumed the role

that

originally belonged to Jasper’s mother and became Javier’s remarried wife.

“Jasper, don’t be sad. Anne has passed away, and none of us feels good about it. From now on, I am

your

mother, and Betty is your real sister.”

“Alas, your mother was truly a good person, but unfortunately, she lacked some luck compared to me. I

hope she is not tormented by illness on the other side. I believe she wouldn’t blame me for taking her

place, right? She was so kind. She surely wouldn’t blame me.”

Jasper couldn’t forget the sarcastic words Sophia had said to him at his mother’s funeral.

Although young, he still sensed the insincerity behind the woman’s friendly smile.

In the blink of an eye, it had been over 20 years since then.

Over the years, it felt as if everyone, including the entire Beckett family, had forgotten his mother-

everyone except him.

Tears welled up in Jasper’s eyes as he heard his mother’s name from Alyssa’s mouth. Inexplicably, he

felt

like crying.

“Anne… Anne…” Jasper’s expression turned dazed as he murmured the name of the departed.

Anne’s gentle and picturesque face gradually emerged from the deep sea of memory.

A sudden, piercing pain struck the deepest and softest part of his heart.

Sophia was closest to Javier.

She heard him repeatedly uttering that long-lost name. The woman she once hated infuriated her, and

she

directed that anger straight at Alyssa.

“Anne… Anne had a questionable status, merely Javier’s past paramour! Even after joining the family,

she

served as a maid for the Beckett family. What gives her the right to be called the lady of the house?

The

rightful mistress of the Beckett family is me! She doesn’t match up to me!”

“Sophia! That’s enough!”

Javier, as if awakened from emotional numbness, angrily roared at Sophia. He completely forgot that

there were others present.

“Anne was not a paramour! She was not a maid! And she’s no longer here. You have no right to speak

ill of

“Why don’t I have the right?”

Sophia’s eyes widened in anger. “Is what I’m saying not true? She was only a paramour who couldn’t

enter

polite society!”

Before she could finish speaking, a sudden overwhelming chill enveloped her, as if a shadow had

engulfed her, akin to standing on the edge of a vast abyss!

Sophia was stunned. She looked up and saw Jasper standing right in front of her.

“You…”

A sharp sound suddenly reverberated in the hall.

Everyone was shocked, including Alyssa, all staring with mouths agape.

Jasper’s eyes darkened, and his thin lips tightly pursed. He then raised his hand and fiercely slapped

Sophia. 1

Sophia’s cheek turned red and swollen, with traces of blood at the corner of her lips. The impact made

her eardrums buzz, and stars flashed before her eyes.

She staggered back, clutching the sofa’s back. She barely avoided falling to the ground in a disheveled

state.

“Jasper …” Alyssa’s pupils involuntarily constricted. She couldn’t help but squeeze her palms in anxiety

for

Jasper.
