Chapter 458
Betty once again grew viral on social media, dragging Beckett Group’s stocks down with
her as well.
The online comments and attacks on her after the auction hadn’t stopped since. Ada
publicly denouncing
her contract with Beckett Group didn’t help either.
“Some people can try all they want, but they’ll never be able to stand out against
someone like Alyssa Taylor. Ms. Alyssa is gorgeous and talented. She even manages her
family’s hotel!
“Unlike some people who only know to scheme and plot in the shadows like some
cowardly snake. They
really embarrass all of us by lying to Ada Kingsley like that!”
“Don’t compare that Beckett girl with our lovely Ms. Alexa! They’re from entirely different
worlds!”
“I’m not surprised to hear what Betty did, honestly. Like mother, like daughter, as they
say.”
“Are there any good apples in the Beckett family at this point? The police should really
look into them and

Jasper scheduled an emergency board meeting on the third day without notifying his
father firsthand.
Betty’s vacant seat bore witness to her deep embarrassment over the entire situation.
“I’ll get right to the point.” Jasper’s fingers were pressed neatly against one another on the
desk as he said solemnly, “We all know what happened during the auction event at KS
World Hotel.”
The silence in the room was enough of an answer.
“I have set up an action plan to deal with its aftermath.”
He snapped his fingers, instructing Xavier to open up a sealed envelope.
Xavier cleared his throat and read aloud, “The following contains instructions to deal with
the aftermath of Ms. Betty Beckett’s actions, which have caused catastrophic effects unto
the company as a whole.
“From this day onward, Ms. Betty Beckett is dismissed and removed from her
management position and
the hotel.
“She will also cooperate with the police enforcement as much as possible in their
investigations into this
matter.
“As for Ms. Betty’s failure to fulfill her responsibilities in the project with Ms. Ada Kingsley,
she will be solely responsible for all consequences, including any costs related to the
damage incurred by KS World Hotel, without any involvement or interference from this
company.”
The board was surprised, turning to one another with wide eyes.
Javier always doted on Betty, so such harsh treatment of her was a real curveball from
everyone’s
perspective. Javier really had had enough now!
“No! I do not accept this!”
A shrill voice came from outside the meeting room, followed by Sophia marching in. She
was still
dressed in heavy jewelry and lavish clothes, trying to assert herself as the president’s
wife.
Jasper glanced coldly at her. “Non-relevant personnel should not be allowed to attend this
meeting, Mr.
Hall.”
“Yes, sir.”

of a board.
meeting, ma’am. Please leave right away.”
“How dare you?” Sophia screeched, digging her claws into his collar. “I am the company’s
president’s
wife! We own this company. How dare you order me to leave?”
The entire board watched as her composure shattered magnificently.
If she weren’t married to Javier, she’d appear just as hysterical as the pent-up housewife
in the slums of
the city.
A sneer rose on Jasper’s lips. “I don’t recall a position in the company called president’s
wife.”
“Y-You-!” Sophia’s eyes widened into a glare.
The board erupted into quiet scoffs and sniggering.
“I will be sending a copy of this plan to everyone in the company via email.” Jasper leaned
back in his
chair. “This isn’t something you can change at your whim, Sophia.”
Sophia grew pale as she stumbled backward at the mention of her name. She couldn’t
believe he had addressed her by her name instead of “Madam” in front of all the board
members.
