Ben often heard Newton refer to Alyssa as a heroine, but he never truly believed it. Today, he finally witnessed it with his own eyes. She embodied the strength expected of Winston's daughter. Her commanding presence and intimidating demeanor would have many men humble themselves before her.

"Ms. Alyssa, w-what are you trying to do?" Ben stammered, his voice trembling.

With a stern look in her eyes, Alyssa answered, "Mr. Gorham, besides Grandpa Newton, I believe that you're the only one who knows about Justin's murder. Am I right? I want to know how Mildred actually died. How did you and Grandpa Newton dispose of her body?" Ben clenched his teeth, remaining silent.

"Even if you refuse to speak, my family and I can find out. It's only a matter of time." Alyssa forced a slight smile. "Once I discover the truth, I can't guarantee what the consequences will be."

"Ms. Alyssa, this is a serious matter! This incident involves Mr. Newton and threatens the entire Beckett family's reputation. If word gets out, the corporation could be in grave danger. "Mr. Newton's health has been declining. If anything were to happen to Beckett Group, he wouldn't be able to take it!" Ben was on the brink of tears.

With a fiery gaze, Alyssa said, "Grandpa Newton trusts me and dotes on me. To me, he is as important as my father. I know my limits, and I'll ensure that Grandpa Newton remains unharmed." After a brief hesitation, Ben shut his eyes tightly. Finally, he spoke. "It was a stabbing."

"How many times? Once? Twice?"

"More than ten... I can't remember the exact count but there were stab wounds all over her neck, chest, and lower abdomen. I just remember that the carpet was soaked in her blood." A wave of fury surged within Alyssa. She inhaled sharply.
