Chapter 200

ghter out, with Jasper quielly by Alyssa’s side, Occasionally, he opened his mouth to speak, bo nothing came out.

Winston kept on side–eyeing him. If looks could kill, Jasper would have been sent to meet his Maker already.

Winston couldn’t believe that Jasper, whom he deemed an asshole, was the one who had married his precious Alyssa. Did he actually think he deserved her? Winston thought Jasper was useless.

“Mr. Taylor!” Liana cried, running up to Winston, ‘I’m really sorry about tonight. I made a grave misunderstanding, I really didn’t know Alice was your daughter I misunderstood her relationship with Mr. Jonah. I’m so sorry…”

Winston didn’t even look at her. “So you’re saying that if Alyssa weren’t my daughter, you would have continued talking trash about her and ruining her reputation?”

“I–I didn’t mean that.” Liana stuttered.

Jasper remembered how Liana had accused Alyssa and Jonah of sleeping together in front of Winston and his grandfather.

Liana’s gaze then had taken on a shade of deviousness Jasper had never seen before.

A great sense of disappointment welled up in his chest.

“Don’t judge books by the cover, Ms. Gardner. Looks can be deceiving. I’m sure you know this at heart.” Winston shook his head. “What if this had been some other girl, someone who is less fortunate? Wouldn’t you just be ruining their lives?”

With a sigh, the man quickened his pace, leaving Liana behind.

Liana watched angrily as the group of people faded into the distance. Not even Jasper stopped to accompany her. It felt like the cold had overtaken her senses as she began shivering greatly.

At the front gate were four black limousines. Xavier and countless other bodyguards nodded respectfully upon seeing the Becketts.

“Alice, wait-” Newton couldn’t stop himself anymore. He reached out to hold Alyssa’s hand. “What happened. Alice? How are you Alyssa Taylor? Why didn’t you tell us who you are? Why become such a lowly maid in our household?
