attack.
Alyssa and Jasper’s divorce should have been more sensational news than maid abuse allegations
against Sophia. Still, cowed by the pressures exerted by Jonah and Jasper, no reporter dared broach
the subject of the divorce to protect their career.
Despite brief online gossip regarding Alyssa and Jasper’s secret marriage, the discussion soon died
down after all the media attention on Sophia’s behavior.
