Chapter 435
Jasper began, “First, remove that nosy, lying, good-for-nothing reporter from this venue and the city. I
want him gone for good.”
“Yes, sir!”
“Second, have Beckett Group’s PR department monitor any comments, statements, rumors, or gossip that
could harm Alyssa and KS World Hotel’s reputation. Eradicate all of them at once.”
“On it, sir!” Xavier then went to get those done, leaving Jasper where he was to continue gazing at Alyssa.
His gaze softened as he watched her determined expression.
He silently said, “No thanks needed. Dance as long as you please. I’ll take care of everything in the
background for you.”
“We are sorry to see you unable to work with Ms. Kingsley, Ms. Alyssa,” Sophia said gently, taking
advantage of the situation.
She continued, “You’re only new to this line of work. You’re still young. You’re bound to make some
mistakes.
“Never fear, though. You’ll learn from them. After all, who here hasn’t made a mistake when they were
your age? The most important thing is that you learn from your lesson.”
“Yeah. It really was my fault for letting the culprit get the better of us.” Alyssa smiled. “I’ll definitely be on
my guard next time.”
Sophia sneered internally.
One reporter asked, “Wait... Do you mean to say you had been set up?”
“I have to take my leave now. The auction is about to begin.” Alyssa turned and left for the other venue,
not answering the question.
She didn’t even look at Sophia and Betty again, making the two feel outraged rather than joyous at their
victory.
“That fucking bitch. Does she think she can get herself out of this situation that easily? In her dreams!”
Sophia growled as she glared at Alyssa, who was slowly fading into the distance.
“She has clearly given up. She didn’t even bother coming up with an excusel” Betty held her mother’s arm,
she is at managing her hotel!”
“Madam Sophia! Betty!” Zoe called out, finally walking out in her elegant peach-colored gown. “Good
evening!”
“Zoe!” Sophia went up to shake her hand, all smiles. “And here I thought you were absent!”
“Mom, there’s something you should know.” Betty grinned. “How we got Ada on board to work with the
company is all thanks to Zoe here.”
“Aw, shucks. It’s nothing.” Zoe giggled, waving her off.
“Thank you so much, dear,” said Sophia, her smile seemed layered.
Then, Sophia gently stroked Zoe’s hand and said, “If there’s ever anything we can be of service with, just
let us know, and we’ll do our best to help you.”
