Finally, Betty completely broke down. She slumped to the ground, sobbing uncontrollably. "Yes... It was me..."
Everyone was stunned.
Javier was dumbfounded. "What did you say? Say that again."
"Mom gave me that report. I handed it over to Zoe. That's how it got out."
Betty wept tragically. With the truth exposed, she had no choice but to come clean to protect herself.
Compared to the video spreading nationwide and becoming a spectacle, admitting fault seemed like the better option.
In the end, she was still a member of the Beckett family. So what if she schemed against Lauren?
Her father, who placed utmost importance on both his own reputation and that of the family, would undoubtedly come forward to shield her.
"Why would Sophia give you the diagnosis report?" Newton was so furious that he had difficulty breathing.
"I-I don't know... Maybe she'd gone crazy from all the drugs she took."
"You used Sophia's notorious behavior as leverage, threatening her to give you something that could ruin Lauren's marriage, didn't you?" Jasper's eyes darkened. Flames of anger were brewing within.
"I... I..." Under immense pressure, Betty's mind went blank.
Jasper's speculations rang true, and she couldn't even come up with a rebuttal.
"You despicable creature! You're worse than an animal!"
Newton slapped his thigh in fury, barely managing to stand with Ben's support. "Lauren is your sister!
You grew up together. She's been so good to you and trusted you as her elder sister. How could you do this to her?"
"You're unbelievable! You're just like your dead mother!" Javier was utterly disappointed in Betty.
"All of you pushed me to do this! Is it all my fault?"
Betty completely lost it, screaming like a mad woman, "Grandpa, you always claim to love me, but you secretly favor Lauren in everything!
"I was the one who liked Landon first, but you matched him with Lauren! Why does she get all the good things? I'm not inferior to her!"
Newton was stunned to hear that.
But in the blink of an eye, his expression darkened again. With tears welling up in his eyes, he stepped forward and slapped Betty even harder than before.
Jasper and Javier were both shocked.
Betty's eardrums throbbed painfully, causing her face to glisten with cold sweat.
"What I hate most is when women fight over men, even resorting to desperate measures like harming their own family!" Newton roared with bloodshot eyes. His heart was aching so much.
"Back then... just because I loved your grandma and wanted to marry her... her evil sister viciously assaulted her, leaving her deaf in her left ear."
Jasper and Javier gaped, speechless. Even Ben, who thought he knew Newton well, was astounded.
No wonder Newton always spoke louder to Doris, often embracing her and whispering tenderly when alone. It all made sense now-why she could never quite hit the right notes despite her love for music.
Yet Newton continued to delight in Doris' singing, listening to her melodies repeatedly without ever growing weary of them.
Doris, who had lost hearing in her left ear, never uttered a word of complaint. Her smile was always warm and radiant, making it hard to believe she had a
disability.
Newton had used his love to meticulously mend her flaws.
"What you've done today is no different from that evil woman! You're even more malicious! You used a third party to harm your sister!"
A furious Newton pointed accusingly at Betty's pale face. "I don't have a granddaughter like you! Don't ever claim to be my granddaughter out there! You're not worthy!"
"Grandpa..."
At this moment, Betty was truly panicking. Javier didn't like her, Newton completely loathed her, and Jasper was her archenemy.
Was there still a place for her in this family?
"Betty, since you've admitted it, there's nothing more to say."
Jasper looked coldly at Javier. "Dad, how do you plan to handle this?"

"Confine her to the villa. Seaview Manor's backyard will be the extent of her
permitted movement. I'll handle her from here."
Jasper shook his head. "That's too good for her."
Javier frowned. "Then how do you suggest we handle this?"
"Cut off all her financial resources, exile her abroad, and never let her return to
Solana City."
