Your grandson will pay for his crime, or you can get rid ofright now!" The heated confrontation quickly attracted the attention of the cemetery's security guards. Two of them rushed over and restrained Esther, pulling her away.
"Mr. Newton, this is a serious issue. We can't just ignore her," Ben said, his usual tenderness replaced with a sharp, determined gaze. "If she goes out and spreads rumors, it could cause a public uproar and severely damage Beckett Group's reputation. Do you wantto take care of her?" "What are you talking about?" Newton, clutching his chest in pain, his face pale and twisted, replied weakly. "Their family has suffered enough... because of me! What else are you going to do? Do you wantto push her to her death?" Before he could finish speaking, his brows drew together in a tight frown. Then, his weak body gave way, and he collapsed to the ground.
"Mr. Newton!" Ben's face drained of color as he caught Newton's limp body in his arms.
This was a critical moment. Alyssa ran toward them at full speed. She dropped down to one knee beside Newton and immediately began administering CPR.
"Ms. Alyssa! Why are you-" Ben's eyes widened in shock.

Alyssa deliberated over it for a moment. She pressed her lips together and said, "If you must, call Mr. Jasper." It wasn't because she was desperate to see Jasper, but Javier's presence could complicate matters further, and Justin was even less trustworthy.
Ben nodded seriously and stepped outside to make the call.
Once alone, Alyssa took a deep breath and quietly approached the hospital bed. Sitting down beside it, she gently held Newton's wrinkled hands.
"Grandpa Newton, how are you feeling? Do you still feel uncomfortable in any way?" "I feel much better... Thank you, Alyssa..." Newton had his eyes half-closed, and his breathing was shallow.
