The news of Betty's bloodline broke out and spread like wildfire beyond the Beckett Group's control.

Newton, who remained hospitalized, was shocked and infuriated upon learning the news. He demanded to meet Javier during the night.

He began berating Javier in front of Jasper and Alyssa, not caring about their presence.

"What did I say to you? You should lay low at this rocky moment. Besides, you should stay by Lauren's side as her dad because she remains unconscious. You shouldn't have done anything unnecessary! "Does public perception matter that much? My granddaughter is more important than any bullshit reputation!

"As the head of the family, why did you bother explaining yourself in a hurry to people who don't matter? You seem more confused and unwise the older you get, and your decisions are undignified!" Newton turned pale and breathed heavily after scolding Javier. Seeing that, Alyssa hurriedly patted him on the back while Jasper handed him a glass of water.

"The situation would not have spiraled out of control had you not come to a rash decision. You might care about your image, but in reality, no one looks up to you anymore. Your reputation is in tatters." Javier bit his lips as he grappled with feelings of remorse and humiliation. His heart ached in regret, and his cheeks burned.

Although Newton had shamed Javier many times with harsher insults before, this time, Javier felt the full impact of it. He was ashamed of himself. He, too, admitted that he was a fucking fool after falling for Sophia's lie for two decades.

Gritting his teeth, he turned to Jasper with a spiteful stare. "Even if I were wrong, do you think your precious grandson had no fault?"

Jasper stared back at his father without any expression.

Alyssa couldn't help but roll her eyes at Javier, dumbstruck by Javier's behavior of shifting the blame to his son, unlike ordinary fathers who would take the blame for their sons.

She felt sorry for Jasper's overly kind and gentle mother. Had she been in a romantic relationship with Javier, she would have adamantly rejected him. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"All along, he knew Betty wasn't my daughter, but he waited until the press conference to reveal the truth. It was his plan to humiliate me. Has he ever cared for the Beckett family's honor and reputation?" "Jasper isn't an unreasonable man like you described him. You forced his hand!" Newton pointed a trembling finger at Javier's face. He snapped angrily, "Betty might not be your biological daughter, but she should have treated Lauren like a sister, growing up under the same roof! But she hurt Lauren over and over, even taking part in Zoe Harper's wretched abduction!

"How could you speak up for her and help her escape prosecution, given all that had happened? Of course Jasper will resent you! Even if he didn't put you in your place, I would!' Javier was speechless after Newton yelled at him.

"A devil! You were born a devil! A lost cause!" Newton took a sip of water to soothe himself. Then, he cast a puzzled look at Jasper. "Jasper, how did you find out about Betty's bloodline?" "Grandpa, it wasn't me. It was Alyssa." Jasper wrapped an arm around her shoulder.

"Alice, was it you?" Newton and Javier stared at her in disbelief.
