Betty immediately became the best straw dummy.
“Did
Did you really do this, Betty?” Newton asked in pure disbelief.
Landon’s eyes narrowed as he glared at Betty. If Laurie hadn’t accidentally drank that
wine, he would have become a victim under a hand!
Alyssa remained calm throughout, a faint sneer on her lips. It was as if she had grown
bored of all the vileness present.
*How dare you accuse me, you bitch?” Betty shrieked, about to storm up to the maid and
kick her in the face when Sophia reined her in.” I’m Javier Beckett’s daughter. Think of
what I would do to you if you accused me of such a vile crime!”
She might be sharp–tongued on the surface, but Betty was actually terrified out of her
wits. She couldn’t drag Liana down with her, as that would reveal them as cohorts.
Suddenly, Betty realized Liana had used her.
“How could you be so evil as to accuse my daughter? Our family treats all of you servants
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtvery kindly. Yet, here you are, still trying to drug these two young men. Now you’re trying
to shift the blame on my daughter? Damn you!” Sophia yelled.
She tugged Javier’s hand, saying. “Quick, call the police! Lock this evil woman up right
now! She’s slandering our daughter!”
Obviously. Javier wouldn’t believe that her daughter would do something so vile. “Get her
up from the floor. Someone call the police!”
“No! No, it wasn’t me! Ms. Betty told me to do this! She even said she would pay me a big
sum afterward so I could quit my job and live a rich life! Why are you still lying, Betty
Beckett? You were the one who wanted to seduce and sleep with Mr. Harper! Say
something!” the maid screeched, glaring at Betty.
Sophia wanted to shove her foot in the girl’s mouth so she would stop talking. She quickly
had someone take her away.
The maid had no evidence, she was sure. If she did, it would have been presented already.
On the other hand, Alyssa had understood the gist of everything and concluded that
things were not that simple.
She had lived with the Beckett family for three years, and she had grown to understand
Betty Beckett pretty well in these three years.
Betty had always been straightforward and upfront with her actions, never capable of
coming up with something so backward and evil
Her mother, Sophia, however, was definitely capable of this. Yet, she would never oust her
own daughter as a scapegoat under any circumstances.
That could only mean Liana was the primary suspect behind all this.
Sure enough, there was a hint of a smirk on Liana’s face.
inger rose in Alyssa’s throat like bile, but she forced it down. She had no evidence, after
all. Any accusations would be useless right now. lyssa wouldn’t give Liana a chance to
mewl or cry her way out of this.

praying for Winston to at least say something.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhey’ve already apologized, Dad. Why don’t we just let them go for now? We’ve caught the

On the other hand, Landon was in uller shock upon hearinu Alyssa refer to Winston as

nearly above the league now!
