Chapter 223: Chapter 223

Alyssa paused for a while before saying coldly, “I’m fine, but Lauren might not be.”

Jasper’s eyes darkened as he tightened his grip on Betty’s wrist.

“Ouch! Jasper, let go! It hurts!” Sweating from the pain, Betty was close to tears. He finally let go of her wrist. Betty stumbled backward and fell onto the ground from the strong impact.

“Jasper, that bitch started it! She threw her slippers at me! Look at the mark on my face–that’s the evidence!”

Punching the ground between sobs, she grumbled, “How could you blindly side with an outsider who beats up your sister at home?”

Surprisingly, he did not so much as give Betty a look. Instead, he turned to Alyssa. “Are you really okay?”

Betty’s wrist.

Punching the ground between sobs, she grumbled, “How could you blindly side with an outsider who beats up your sister at home?”

Surprisingly, he did not so much as give Betty a look. Instead, he turned to Alyssa. “Are you really okay?”

Alyssa secretly rolled her eyes and ignored him. Instead, she hurried over to Lauren and squatted on the floor, gently caressing Lauren’s soft hair.

“Alyssa!” Lauren immediately went into her embrace and sobbed. She had never shed a tear when Betty hit her. However, she lost control of her tears when she saw Alyssa.

“Hey, don’t cry. No one will bully you with me around. I got your back.” Feeling pained, she cast a furious glance at Betty while comforting Lauren. Betty was as wicked as Cinderalla’s stepmother.

Jasper felt shaken at the sight of Alyssa and Lauren holding on to each other. It was a heartwarming scene that he greedily wished to see more.

“Betty, I’m telling you this. Listen well.” Alyssa’s piercing gaze swept past Betty’s face. “From now on, Lauren is under my protection. You’re wrong to think that I am unaware of what’s happening.

in Seaview Manor.

“I do not care about anything else, but if I hear that you lay a finger on Lauren, be prepared for my wrath. The Taylors will go head–to–head with the Becketts.”

“Did you hear Ms. Alyssa?” he questioned icily, all while staring at Alyssa.

“Apologize to Lauren right now,” Jasper ordered Betty to apologize with a hard and unfeeling tone.

Betty bit her lips hard and refused to say a word.

“Betty Beckett!”

“Leave it An insincere apology is meaningless.” Eyes cold, Alyssa mocked, “Everything’s good as long as she doesn’t attack people like a mad dog for no reason.”

Rubbing the slipper mark on her forehead, Betty stormed back to her bedroom.

“Alyssa Taylor, I will not let this slide!” She was panting heavily, her eyes red from the anger. She belatedly questioned the reason Alyssa was at Seaview Manor.

Did Jasper bring her home? What was that supposed to mean?

Did he plan to rekindle the old flame and get back together with her?
