Some hotel guests started crowding in the lobby to watch the drama.
âMs Beckett, please calm down. Youâll ruin your reputation if you keep causing trouble here. Why donât we discuss this matter in the parlor?â
The front desk manager was so nervous that he kept sweating profusely. At the same time, he did his best to convince Betty to calm down.
âIf your employee has the guts to steal from a VIP like me, doesnât that mean sheâll do worse things to the other guests?â
Betty slammed a hand on the marble counter. Then, she placed her other hand on her hip. She kept glaring at the manager furiously the whole time.
The crowd exchanged looks with each other. Some of them obviously recognized Betty.
They knew that she was a daughter of the Beckett family. But if they didnât look at her face, they would have thought it was a shrew causing trouble for the hotel.
âIâI didnât steal anything!â the housekeeper stammered timidly with her head bowed.
âHow dare you talk back to me!â
Betty jabbed a scarlet, manicured finger at the housekeeperâs face. If it wasnât for the manager protecting the housekeeperâs eyes, Betty wouldâve stabbed them.
âI left my necklace on the sink! How could it vanish on its own?â
âItâs true that I cleaned the suite, but I wasnât the only one there!â The housekeeper looked pale, but she refused to give in âWhat do you mean? Are you suspecting us right now?â One of Bettyâs friends looked furious.
âWeâre all VIPs here! A necklace is worth nothing to us! Only poor commoners like you will commit such a crime!â the other friend added âHeh! It turns out that the Taylor Groupâs hotel isnât as good as I thought. After all, their service is a lot shittier compared to the Beckett Groupâs hotel. Perhaps this hotel is just a front for a money- laundering service.â
Betty started mocking the manager with her arms folded in front of her chest.
At that moment, the managerâs expression had already gone stormy.
The guests checking into KS World Hotel were usually polite and respectful. It had been a long time since the manager last saw someone as rude and unreasonable as Betty.
âMs Beckett, itâs inappropriate of you to slander KS World Hotelâs reputation and humiliate my employee After all, we have yet to investigate this matter and uncover the truth.â
The newcomerâs cool voice was very pleasing to the ears.
Everyone was surprised upon hearing the voice. They turned around at the same time, only to see a beautiful woman in a white suit.
Alyssa walked toward Betty and the manager with a stoic expression. The way she strutted made her seem even more domineering.
Bettyâs friends were stunned by what they saw.
âWhy are you here?â Betty looked shocked as well. But she soon eyed Alyssa up and down in disgust.
Alyssaâs suit was personally tailored for her. Her high heels came from a luxury brand too. Even her sapphire earrings, which sparkled under the light, looked expensive. Overall, Alyssaâs current attire made her look like she was also an heiress.
The crowd stared at Alyssa in surprise. Where did she come from? Her beauty was breathtaking, to say the least.
Meanwhile, Betty looked like an ugly hag when standing beside Alyssa.
At that moment, Jasper and Xavier walked into the hotel lobby.
He noticed his exâwife, who had gone missing for almost a week, was there. His heart skipped a beat while his eyes glinted in delight.
Jasper stared at the beautiful woman as though he was under a spell.
âMr. Beckett, thatâs Madam Alice!â
Xavier looked very excited at first. But his expression soon changed. âHuh? Ms. Betty is there as well.
Thereâs a crowd around her and Madam Alice. Did something happen?â
Jasper had a bad feeling when he noticed Betty in the lobby. He was about to approach them when he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
âHold on Letâs observe the situation first.â
When the housekeeper saw Alyssa arriving at the scene, she felt so upset that she burst into tears.
**MâMs. Alyssaâ¦â
âOh? So youâre the manager of this hotel, huh? Thatâs unexpected.â Bettyâs lips curled into a smirk.
âIs that so? I never felt that way. In fact, my life is a lot better than before.â
Alyssa cocked an eyebrow in response. Even though she was barely smiling, her beauty was enough to enchant everyone. âAt least Iâm living like an actual human being now.â
Her words drifted into Jasperâs ear.
His throat tightened slightly in response. All he felt was frustration.
What did that woman mean by that? Was she complaining about the life she led during the three- year marriage?
