"Everyone heard the recording played in the courtroom just now!" Javier was so
pissed off that his breathing had become uneven. He growled, "Others might not
have recognized your voice. But of course I could!
"Right from the start... you were fully aware of Sophia's actions. You knew she
hired a hitman! Not only did you conceal it from me, but you actively assisted her
in keeping it a secret. You must be out of your mind!"
Betty denied, "No. That's not it."
"Don't you know that you were harboring a criminal? You are an accomplice! Did
you want to follow in Sophia's footsteps and end up imprisoned?"
Betty was scared shitless. She was flustered. She knelt by Javier's feet. Tear
stains marked her face as she gazed up at him. She pleaded, "Dad! I was wrong.
I now know that what I did was wrong!
"All those things. She made me do them! She's my mother. Those things that she
asked me to do, I didn't dare to go against her! I was too mindlessly obedient. I
was dumb!
"Please, I beg you. You cannot let me end up in prison! I am your daughter.
Could you bear to see me end up in prison?
"Also, can our family afford to have another family member go to jail? The
Schmidt family already took a hit because of it. You've worked tirelessly to
manage the Beckett Group. Are you hoping the Beckett Group ends up in ruins
just like the Schmidt Group?"
Javier's dark pupils constricted as he yelled, "Bugger off!"
Betty scooted to the side hurriedly and made way for Javier. She watched as he
walked past her.
A series of footsteps sounded as others walked by her, too. Not a single person
stopped to help her up. This made her feel even more ashamed.
"Damn it. Goddamn it!"
Betty punched the ground with her fists. She screamed and cursed in the empty
hallway.
"Hey, this is the courthouse, not a circus! Go outside to scream instead!" Two
police officers approached her to throw her out. They carried hateful expressions
on their faces.
Betty's face flushed red in embarrassment. She gathered up her strength to
stand back up.
She stumbled awkwardly. She was taken aback the moment she stood back up.
At the opposite end of the hallway, bathed in a stream of sunlight, stood the
Taylors. They had observed her humiliating display.
Betty, who once relished provoking Alyssa whenever she crossed her path, now
refrained from uttering a word. She hastily retreated with her tail tucked between
her legs.
"What a wretched family.” Colene clicked her tongue. She crossed her arms and
mocked, "Was there some sort of genetic mutation? How could Sophia end up
having two daughters who are worlds apart?
"Ms. Lauren is such a sweet and lovely lady. As for Betty... She's like a character
straight out of The Witcher. She's vulgar, dumb, and evil!
"Even her obnoxious mother would've been better than her when she was 20
years younger!"

Betty, on the other hand, is like a

Her demeanor is less than favorable,

and she lacks any hint of refinement.

Upon hearing that, the gaze in Alyssa's eyes dimmed slightly. She couldn't help
but feel a hint of suspicion.
Betty didn't bear much resemblance to Javier, whether personality-wise or even
by how she looked.
When they stood together, one wouldn't even think they were father and
daughter.
"Lyse? Are you okay? What were you so focused on?" Jasper whispered. He
gave her a slight tug on her waist.
Alyssa leaned on him. She pressed her lips together slightly and replied, "It's
nothing."
