Chapter 102
Alyssa could stomach the divorce, but she would never want to lose to the Becketts.
When Alyssa left the patient’s room, she put on a pair of sunglasses to hide the fire in her
eyes.
She called Axel. He answered the call and yelped, “Lyse, you finally remember me!”
Axel sounded cloying and begrudged. “You probably didn’t know this, but Silas laughed at
me and
said you were giving me the cold shoulder. I freaked out! F***! I will never lose out to that
prick!”
“You are all my brothers. Why would you fight for my favor? Don’t make me sound like a
playgirl,
please. I’m not Cleopatra.”
Speechless, she fell silent before telling him in a hushed voice, “Axel, may I get your help
on something?”
“Oh my god! What’s with that tone of yours? I’m done for! Lyse, tell me, do you not love
me
anymore? Is our relationship cooling down?” Axel, ever the drama queen, turned into the

He continued, “Why do you sound formal with me? It looks like I should go back to you. If I
don’t,
you’d forget my handsome looks two more years down the road!”
“Axel, are you done? I need your help!” Alyssa yelled at him impatiently, which attracted
the gazes of the doctors and nurses. They weren’t expecting Alyssa’s explosive speech
from her
pretty face.
“That’s right! Just talk to me like usual. I feel much better now. Tell me, what’s up?” Axel
grinned.
Her eyes darkened. She lowered her voice. “I’ll upload a video tomorrow. I hope you’ll pull
some tricks to make it stay online for a bit.”
“How long?”
“At least until the news has spread.”
“Hah, no problem. But Lyse, shouldn’t you repay my favor? Hm?” He spoke lazily in a
hoarse voice
that sounded rather seductive.
“Are you trying to milk it? Fine, tell me what you want.” She lifted a brow and challenged
him.
“Can I beat Jasper up to release my anger?”
She was baffled by his idea. “Get lost!”

+15 BONUS The next day, Jasper was seated at the start of the meeting table in the
Beckett Group office. He had an exquisite and regal look but an air of haughtiness that
scared the others away.
“We must bid the land in East Cathia as soon as possible. All related departments must
communicate timely and carry out their responsibilities.”
During his speech, someone checked their phone. Eyes widened in shock, and the said
person patted his colleague to the left.
That went on around the meeting table until everyone in the meeting room was made
aware of the news that had spread like wildlife.
“Is this your first time joining my meeting? Don’t you know my rules?” He looked up with a
sour face and gave everyone goosebumps.
At the same time, his phone buzzed. He looked down and scrolled his phone before

After the meeting, he returned to his office with a sullen expression.
“Didn’t I ask you to remove the videos of Betty online? Why is it trending now?”
“The video was uploaded this morning! The PR department didn’t have the time to
respond to it.” Xavier was sweating. “I have contacted Twitter to take it down, but we
can’t!”
“We can’t? Hah, is that a funny joke?” Jasper’s tone was ice–cold. “You have half an hour. I
do not
want Betty’s name on trending.”
He’d get rid of any threat against Beckett Group as soon as it emerged.
“M–Mr. Beckett! Look at this!” A bewildered Xavier showed Jasper the phone.
The first hashtag on trending had changed to #TheAngelWhoSavedtheDay.
Jasper pursed his lips as he tapped on the trending topic with doubt. In the next second,
he burst into a temper. The video captured the scene where Alice saved the hotel
employee and exposed
Alice’s face.
Now that his ex–wife had been exposed in the video, she’d be more widely known to the
public. An
unexplainable panic gripped him.
