Nina paced back and forth in the garden after speaking to Alyssa on the phone. She was in distress.

This was the first time she had ever done something like this in her life. Her heart wasn't strong enough

to take it.

She returned to the villa anxiously.

All of a sudden, her heart stopped for a second. Jasper, who hadn't returned for a long time, entered

the villa.

"Mr. Beckett ... Mr. Beckett!"

Nina broke into a sweat. Her face paled as she ran after Jasper. She went in front of him to block him.

She had been working as a maid here for many years, but she never dared to talk to him. She had no

idea where she got the courage to charge toward him.

Jasper frowned slightly. "What can I do for you?"

"I-I ... You ..." Nina cursed herself for getting tongue-tied now.

"You can take your time." Jasper looked at her lightly.

He had never had this level of patience before. Now, Alyssa had completely influenced him. He was

more easygoing and rational now.

Nina bit her lip hard. Her face reddened. She contemplated telling Jasper the truth—that Sophia had

killed his mother.

She doubted if Jasper would believe her.

She took a step forward. She made sure no one was around and lowered his voice. "Mr. Beckett, I'm

meeting with Ms. Taylor in secret somewhere tonight. C-Can you join us?"

Jasper was shocked as his eyes constricted. He leaned his body forward abruptly. "What did you say?

You are meeting—"

"Nina! What are you doing?"

Suddenly, a shrill voice came from above them.

Nina looked up and saw Betty's fierce expression. She was terrified.

Jasper noticed how oddly she was behaving. He had noticed her stuttering earlier. He deduced that

Betty must have had something to do with it.

"Get up here quickly. I received some clothes earlier. Come and help me organize them. Hurry up!"

"Yes, Ms. Betty." Nina pursed her lips. Torn, she looked at Jasper.

Jasper inched closer to her. He spoke to her voice in a voice only audible to both of them, "I will ask

Xavier to get in touch with you. Please let him know where you are meeting Ms. Taylor tonight."

Nina returned to Betty's room at lightning speed. Betty had a mountain of clothes for her to manage.

Betty sat on her couch with her legs crossed. She drank some wine as she stared coldly at Nina, who

was working busily.

"What did you tell Jasper earlier?"

Nina felt like she had a knife at her back. She tried her best to say firmly, "I bumped into Mr. Beckett, so

I greeted him. He asked me to get him a bottle of red wine from the wine cellar and take it to his study."

"Hmph, Jasper is surrounded by tons of maids to help him. He has Xavier, too. Why would he ask

you?"

Betty's eyes turned grim as she mocked, "Don't tell me you have other intentions. Are you trying to

curry favor and win him over? Why don't you take a look at yourself in the mirror? Know your place."

Nina heard the insult and let out a sigh of relief.

"Nina, you know how close I am to Jasper. If you run to him and tell him some nonsense, I will make

sure it will be the end of you."

"Okay, I understand." Nina complied.

Betty lazily leaned on the couch. "I'm going out for some fun and probably won't come back tonight."

Nina was secretly overjoyed when she heard that. She had been worried about how she would excuse

herself to see Alyssa. Now, the chance had fallen into her lap.

"You don't need to serve me tonight. You can head back and rest earlier. Consider this a holiday from

me." Betty gestured with her hand, portraying a generous air.

"T-T-Thank you, Ms. Betty."

Nina organized the clothes and left the room.

The moment the door closed, the look on Betty's face changed. She called Sophia.

Mom, I gave that bitch, Nina, time off tonight. I want to see if she takes the bait. I saw her speaking to

Jasper privately earlier. That little bitch may be the spy Jasper placed around me."

"Take the bait?" Sophia's tone was harsh.

"Yeah! Why would a maid like Nina have the guts to do something like that? Someone must have her

back. This way, I can lure the person giving her orders out. Then, we will see who we are up against."

A sinister smile appeared on Betty's face. She was proud of her scheme.

"You imbecile! How could you be so stupid?"

Sophia scolded her. "You're laying trouble for us for the future. Did you know that? I asked you to keep

an eye on her. Now, you're letting her loose to talk to other people?

"You don't need an extra brain cell to know who we're up against. It's either Jasper or Alyssa. What if

she secretly meets Alyssa tonight? What are we supposed to do? If she tells anyone what she knows,

we'll be ruined."

Betty shuddered and slapped herself hard on the forehead. She was so shortsighted not to see this

coming.

"Nina will take action tonight."

Sophia exhaled hard. Her voice was chilling and sinister. "She can walk out of Seaview Manor. But if

she walks out of here, don't expect her to come back ever again."
