“Wait! No!” Seeing that Alyssa didn’t counter the attacks, Landon became anxious. He hurriedly
stepped forward to help her out.
“No matter how wronged Ms. Gardner feels, no matter how pitiful it sounds, it is a one–sided statement. We should listen to what Ms. White has to say. There are no surveillance cameras in the bathroom, but someone else was probably present. So we might as well ask them to figure out what happened.
When Betty saw Landon, she fell into a trance. Her mouth was slightly open as if her soul had left
her body. Her intelligence and rationale decreased instantly.
Startled, Alyssa glanced at Landon. Her quick glance brought springs of joy to him. 1
Their secret eye contact didn’t go unnoticed by Jaspe. He took it as proof of their flirting.
Nonetheless, he didn’t react. Instead, his hands balled into fists.
“There were no witnesses. We were the only ones in the bathroom at the time,” Alyssa said
casually. 1
Ah, well.” Landon frowned, finding it tough to deal with the mess in a fair, upright manner.
“Who else could it be? My daughter can’t cut herself, can she? Liana has always been afraid of pain!
“Rosaline yelled.
Although Liana was sobbing in Jasper’s arms, she was secretly rejoicing.
“So, Alice, did you do it?” Jasper asked coldly.
Alyssa’s heart fell. Her eyes began to water, and her nose began to run, but she balled her hands
into fists. She did her best to suppress the injustice she felt.
Landon slapped his forehead. He was exasperated that Jasper had such a poor choice of words
despite being the president of a company.
At the sight of Alyssa’s bloodshot eyes, Jasper felt a sharp pain in his heart. He had been too
harsh with his words.
He was an unfair person. However, the auction of the necklace humiliated him. Hence, he
harbored ill feelings toward her, which caused him to put on a cold, mean demeanor.
Taking a deep breath, Alyssa grinned and answered, “I did it. So what? Do you want revenge?”

did everything for his family. However, all I need to do is lift a finger, and Jasper will become your
enemy, My crocodile tears are worth more than your heart and soul!”
Alyssa raised her head high and walked up to Liana. Without a word, she slapped Liana. Her blow
was full of resentment.
It stunned everyone. They paled at the sight.
She had moved so fast that Jasper didn’t have time to react. All he registered was the wind from
the impact of her slap.
“Ah! How dare you hit me!” It hurt so much that Liana was seeing stars. Her ears were ringing.
“I hit you because you deserve it!” Alyssa’s smile disappeared, and she began to tremble in fury. This slap is for the bracelet Grandpa gave me. What makes you think you can throw a tantrum and break my things?”
“Alice! You’ve crossed the line!” Jasper growled.
He had noticed her red, swollen wrist when she raised her hand. As her skin was delicate, any minor injury was obvious.
However, he was so angry that he didn’t consider any of that. He only glared at her.
Meanwhile, Betty and the Kirkman sisters never expected Alyssa would behave so arrogantly in front of Jasper.
