Heartbroken, Jasper clutched his shirt tightly, feeling as if a knife were grinding his heart into a bloody pulp.
Though Javier was unsympathetic, he lightly frowned upon hearing this.
Ben explained, "Ms. Alyssa was afraid that you and Mr. Jasper would worry, so she begged me to keep this secret. Since you
were severely injured at that time, I feared that you might be too traumatized.
"And if the news of Ms. Alyssa's inability to conceive got out, she wouldn't have a place in the Beckett family. She might be done
for her whole life ..."
"Just because of this, you chose to listen to her? Are you out of your mind? She was so young back then! What could she
possibly understand?" Newton lamented with a heavy heart.
"It's all my fault, Mr. Newton, Mr. Jasper. Please punish me in any way you see fit. I'll accept any punishment ..."
Why was Alyssa so foolish?
Before Ben could finish speaking, Jasper had already left them behind, running out of the villa.
"Mr. Jasper!"
Ben wanted to catch up, but Newton stopped him. "Forget it! Let him go!
"Jasper owes Alice, and this is also my debt to her. I'm afraid I won't be able to clear it in this lifetime.
Let Jasper repay it with the rest of his life."
Under the rain, flashlights flickered on Zoe's pale and terrified face. They were more blinding than the lightning.
"Ms. Zoe! You exposed Ms. Alyssa's personal privacy of not being able to conceive in public. Don't you think it's too much?"
"Did you bribe the doctor for this medical report, or did someone provide it to you privately?"
"Did you expose Ms. Alyssa's privacy to obstruct her and Mr. Beckett from being together just so you could marry into a wealthy
family?"
Countless reporters crowded outside the police station, swiftly converging on Zoe, who was being escorted by the police.
All the cameras were pointing at her. Drenched and pushed around, Zoe appeared disheveled and sweaty, looking utterly pitiful.
Her wrists were handcuffed. But considering her status as a member of a wealthy family, the police wrapped her hands in white
cloth, concealing the handcuffs.
Even so, she felt extremely ashamed.
Just a few hours ago, she was the proud heiress of a wealthy family. Now, she had become a prisoner.
Everything was over. Her dream of becoming the president's wife was shattered.
Landon had given strict orders, not allowing anyone to find a public relations team or hire a lawyer for her. He had left her to fend
for herself.
Cornelius might help her by sending people to control online comments and block information.
But why were there still so many reporters here?
Why?
"Heh, this stupid woman probably never thought that things would end up like this."
Standing beside Jameson, Carl watched the news of Zoe's arrest on the big screen, mocking with a cold smile. "From the
moment you made that call, inviting her into the game, she was destined for a dead end.
"But she's really useless. Last time, she couldn't handle Jasper at the hotel. This time, she got herself involved again. Landon
has completely given up on her. Only Cornelius is still protecting her.
"But even that old man can't outsmart you. You asked me to get those reporters to surround her. You're really pushing her into an
abyss."
Jameson had a weird smile on his cold face as he swirled the wine glass elegantly.
This smile was undoubtedly charming, but the pair of eyes hidden behind his gold-rimmed glasses revealed a hint of bloodlust
and satisfied cruelty after feeding.
"A useless pawn should be treated like trash. The fate of trash is to be crushed into debris."
Jameson took a sip of red wine. Watching Zoe being arrested, he smiled even brighter. "But Zoe is not entirely useless. If it
weren't for her, how could this matter have escalated so much, achieving results even beyond my expectations?"
"It was wise of you not to go tonight. In such chaos, you should indeed avoid arousing suspicion."
"However, I can't avoid it now."
Jameson slowly stood up, and Carl immediately stepped forward to straighten his coat and tie. "The annoying fellow has been
eliminated. Now it's time for the real male lead to take the stage."
