Rosie chuckled. “Some are here to pay their last respects, but some, like you, are here to capitalize on others’ death!”
“Mrs. Rosie, that’s too much!”
Rosie added, “You shouldn’t take credit for my treatment in the family. I only have Mr. Javier and Madam Anne to thank. Besides,
it is Mr. Javier who pays me, not you! I have nothing to do with you.”
In the heat of the moment, Rosie spat in front of Sophia while the onlookers were still reeling from the shock of the drama of a
maid speaking out against Sophia.
At that moment, some level-headed reporters said, “She’s not wrong. A funeral for a victim of sudden death should be kept low-
profile. Because of that, Ms. Alyssa and Mr. Beckett have not invited the media to the funeral. They care about sending off the
victim more than shaping their image.”
“True. I have never seen anyone in Solana City who’s more attention- seeking than Mrs. Beckett.”
“Mrs. Rosie is right. Mrs. Beckett is capitalizing on the victim’s death.”
Sophia fumed when she realized the public opinion had turned against her, but she had to keep her cool in front of the reporters.
She decided to keep up the act, playing the victim.
Turning white, she pressed against her chest, looking like she was about to faint. She accused Alyssa, “How could you judge me
unfairly? Ms. Alyssa, we did not get along when you were married to Jasper. I admit that we ran into conflicts, but it’s all in the
past because you divorced Jasper. Why would you do whatever it takes to
at back at me?”

Alyssa’s expression hardened when Sophia brought up the divorce again. Similarly, Jasper’s blood boiled at Sophia’s remark.
Eyes gleaming with malice, Sophia looked close to tears. She added, ” You knew Jasper was into Liana. They couldn’t marry
because his grandpa disapproved of their relationship. Even then, you chose to marry Jasper.
“Alyssa, the divorce was a matter of time, especially because you insisted on getting married. How could you blame that on me?
You’re a bully!”
Sophia attempted to create falsehoods to divert attention from
herself. What a crafty woman!
The reporters were continuously surprised by the revelation of the Becketts’ private lives. They had their doubts, wondering if
Sophia was unfairly blamed because Alyssa wanted revenge.
Silas and Cyrus could not hold back. Even Axel, who was hiding in a corner, was ready to make a move on Sophia.
Silas offered, “Jonah, I’ll send some men to shoo the reporters. We can’t let this happen. There will be rumors about Lyse and
Jasper’s divorce.”
Jonah stopped him when he was about to leave. “Silas, you can’t.”
Silas and Cyrus were puzzled. “Why not?”
“It’s too late to stop the media from reporting. I bet some of them are hosting live streams. If we forcefully kick them out, we will
only make Lyse appear guilty of the accusation and fall into Sophia’s trap.”
Jonah took a deep breath and explained sternly, “Sophia is setting Lyse up. If we mishandle the situation, we would appear to be
itting to Sophia’s accusations.”

Silas and Cyrus clenched their fists in a fit of anger. They were willing to risk their careers and beat up Sophia at that moment
