Alyssa felt creeped out by Jasperâs sudden show of care. His belated attention was like expired food that only brought disgust She made a call to Sean âSean, Iâm at Seaview Manor in Solana City Pick me up nowâ
âWhat?â He was astonished to hear that âW Why are you there?â
âItâs a long story Letâs talk when youâre hereâ
After the call, she made her way up the stairs She planned to pack the clothes and leave the moment Sean arrived, as she did not want to overstay Her former bedroom was near Laurenâs room. From talking to the maids, she learned that Lauren had taken a break from her studies. She thought of checking in with the girl Standing at Laurenâs door, she overheard Bettyâs bitchy rant âYou little bitch! What did you do to M: Harper at Grandpaâs birthday? Tell me âNo, I didnât Betty, I didnât do anything to himâ Laurenâs teary voice was heartâwrenching to heat âBullshitâ Laurenâs denial only fanned Bettyâs anger Betty believed that her sister was lying How could you have done nothing with him after he took the spiked drink? How do you explan the hickey on his neck? Was that an animal bite?â
âI donât know I donât remember a thing, I swear Ouch!â
What followed was the sound of a shattered vase Alyssa clenched her fist and busted the door open, which came as a shock to Betty You? When Betty finally pulled herself together, she saw a swift movement that attacked her Tight on the face âhighâ Soon, another slipper landed on her face. Her face was flushed with marks from the slipper attack She appeared dizzy, which made her look rather hilarious The pressed a hand on her forehead and pointed a finger at Alyssaâs face, but she was too angry to think of any insult Have you not cleaned that wiluar mouth of youte? Alyson crossed her are on her chest and smted with a threatening head tilt +15 BONOS AâAlice Lauren curled up into a tiny ball and shivered in a corner. She started crying agitatedly after seeing Alyssa âAlyssa Taylor, you crazy bitch!â Betty was seething. Her face was numb from the attack, as the slippers were harder than the palm of a hand.
She continued, âYou think youâre something just because youâre a Taylor? I am a Beckett, and Iâm as powerful as you. I will not let this slip!â
âPlease keep your word. I, too, need a good reason to punch you.â Alyssa did not give a damn about Betty at all. Her eyes spelled mockery.
She added, âYouâre just a goodâforânothing who bullies your sibling. Pretty impressive, arenât you?
Those who donât know that youâre Sophiaâs daughter might think you were raised by a pack of wolves!â
It took Betty a while to get the mockery, as she was not the sharpest tool in the shed. She growled and threw herself at Alyssa.
âHow dare you call me an animal? Iâll rip you to shreds!â
Alyssa shook her head in disgust at the sight of Bettyâs ugliness. She was reluctant to dirty her hands by punching Bettyâthe woman was a mad dog.
Just when Betty was close to touching Alyssa, she was grabbed on the wrist by a huge and defined hand.
âOuch! That hurts!â Feeling the pain, Betty doubled over.
Alyssa sensed an increase in testosterone in the vicinity. She turned around and found Jasper staring at her. They exchanged gazes.
She picked up a hint of concern in his eyes, which might well be an illusion. She shook it off and reminded herself that she was only being delusional.
Sheâd rather believe in ghosts than his feelings for her.
âDid she hurt you?â He looked at Alyssa and questioned with a concerned tone.
