Taking a deep breath, she quickly hung up and watched the live stream. The flurry of activity in
At that moment, Betty stood on stage facing the reporters in a black dress. A mix of anger, fear, and distress flashed across her face.
“Haha! Karma’s a bitch! What’s in their mind, thinking they can get away with this?”
“Did Betty Walsh put on makeup? She must be st* pid to put on makeup at this press conference.
Put some thought into it if you want our pity.”
“Tsk tsk, is she that dumb but pretty chick they talk about?”
“She’s really dumb. I can’t agree with the ‘pretty’ part, though.”
Alyssa read the negative comments as a devious grin crept onto her lips.
“After my belonging went missing, I impulsively went off on an innocent hotel employee. This triggered an epileptic seizure in said employee and nearly resulted in a catastrophe.
“Once again, I express deep remorse for my actions and sincerely apologize to the employee for my actions.”
After the speech, Betty put on a pitiful face and shed some crocodile tears with much difficulty.
She continued, “But I am an ordinary individual just like you. I have my troubles, and there are times I struggle to keep my emotions under check. I now suffer from insomnia after two days of online abuse. I’m on the brink of a breakdown.
“I admit that I was in the wrong, but it is my wish that netizens approach this matter sensibly.
Please do not drag my family through the mud. I beg of you.”
The new comments in the chat moved along fast.
“Cry me a river! I can’t deal with her bitchy attitude after that apology!”
“She’s acting like the victim when the real victim hasn’t uttered a word about it.”
“She wouldn’t have apologized had we not called her out. She might even cover it up!”
“I don’t feel sorry for her. Those are crocodile tears.”
Alyssa narrowed her eyes. Her smile deepened. This must have been the worst day in Betty’s life after 25 years of growing up sheltered and well¨Cloved.
She figured that Betty must have felt embittered, and she’d love to see that. It’d be no fun if Betty gave up without putting up a fight.
Suddenly, an incoming call interrupted the entertaining live stream.
Alyssa hurriedly picked up the call and cooed, “Silas!”
“Lyse, it’s so damn hard to get hold of you. Were you on a call just now?” Silas sounded anxious.
“Is something wrong?” She frowned.
L
“Did Axel get in touch with you today?”
“No. Gosh, just tell me!”
Silas sighed worriedly. “We went drinking last night and got drunk. That dude… He made an outrageous claim again!”
Alyssa’s heart sank upon learning that. Axel had a quirk¨Cmost people would never act on their drunk promises, but not Axel. He’d remember everything from the night before, even if he was wasted, and act on it the next day. That was one of his skills as a top spy.
“What did he say?” She had a bad feeling about it, which made her nervous.
“He said he’d kill Jas!”
Her mind went blank. Had Jonah not grabbed her on time, she might have lost her balance.
“Axel flew a plane across 10,000 miles to avenge you. Last night, he announced that he’d teach Jas a lesson. He swore to at least cut off Jas’ manhood, if not kill him outright! He said that was the only way to get revenge.”
“I thought he’d listen to you and spare Jeremy, but he brought up his plan again last night. I couldn’t reach him at all today! Is he making a move?”
Her heart thundered in her chest. She couldn’t spare a minute to explain everything to Jonah and sprinted out of the church.
Betty was perceived to have offered an insincere apology at the press conference, so the netizens berated her in the chat.
Before she went onstage, Sophia had personally drafted a script and ordered her to memorize it.
Sophia also reminded her not to put on any makeup
Too bad Betty had her own ideas. Firstly, she was stubborn and refused to give in. Secondly, she thought the press conference was a great chance to trend online as the prettiest heiress with her looks. Her plan backfired, and she lost everything in the end.
“I find the hotels under KS Group likable. Not only do they provide good service, but they also have
“I don’t feel good about the Walsh Group at all! I will never book a room at their hotels when I travel.”
“Yeah, boycotting them is the way to go! Bankrupt them tomorrow!”
After Betty wrapped up her public apology, she was surrounded by reporters from below the stage. They shoved the microphones into her face and attacked her with increasingly trickier questions.
Betty buckled under the pressure, for she had never been thrown into a situation like that. She scuttled away from the stage under the protection of two bodyguards.
When she wasn’t paying attention, she tripped on the stairs, spraining her ankle while falling flat on the ground. It was a humiliating scene that was captured by the flashing cameras.
The two bulky bodyguards hurriedly lifted the limp Betty from the ground and dragged her away effortlessly.
Five minutes later, a new hashtag trended-#BettyWalsh Falls. She was trending online, just as she wished.
Meanwhile, Jeremy and Landon held on to each other when they stumbled out of ACE. They went in as enemies but emerged as friends. Drinking indeed brought people closer.
They drank like fish that night. Landon was a heavy drinker and only emerged tipsy from the drinking session.
On the other hand, Jeremy had downed a little too much whiskey in his bad mood. He squinted his eyes and tugged on the knot on his tie, looking drowsy and drunk.
Worried that Jeremy might stumble down the stairs, Landon reached out to hold him. “Hey, Jeremy, you didn’t last long, did you? That was fast. Are you high?”
“You can’t tell a man in his face that he… doesn’t last long.” Jeremy pinched his forehead and felt light¨Cheaded. “Why am I having a headache after drinking at your bar… Did you sell me fake alcohol?”
“F*** you! You are really good at shifting the blame, dude. Is that how you lost Allison?”
Landon swallowed hard when he saw Jeremy’s dazy eyes and flushed neck. He would have done something unholy to Jeremy right there if he were not straight.
Jeremy exhaled and shoved Landon away. “I’m leaving.”
“Hey, I’ll send you home.”
“Don’t you look down on me,” Jeremy said.
“I’m worried you’ll be taken advantage of by fucking randos!” Landon cursed in a moment of anger.
“You think everyone’s an animal like you?” Squinting, Jeremy amirked and got into his car.
Jeremy’s Maybach cruised down an empty street.
“Mi Jeremy, the press conference has ended. There are more negative comments about Ms. Betty than before, and it’s starting to affect our company’s reputation,” Xavier reported with concern. while driving. “The fallout is worse than we expected…”
“Our company?” There was a gleam in Jeremy’s eyes. “It’s only ‘our company’ when they need me to take cate of the trouble that crops up.”
He had never seen the Walsh’s as his family. Apart from his grandpa, no one else in the family saw him as one of theirs, including his father, Javier.
If so, he’d sacrifice Betty and watch his family break down that day. He did not consider Betty’s misfortune a heavy punishment, considering how she had taken advantage of him and hit his wife.
He was taken aback by the unfiltered thought in his mind. That sly fox had put on a show with
Landon today. Was that an attempt to humiliate him or to hurt him emotionally?
Tugging on his tie in frustration, he felt his anger rising.
“Xavier, pull over in front.”
