Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1559

"On top of that, you've been working hard every day. You toiled and moiled for the sake of the corporation. But Grandpa didn't even thank you for your contributions.

"How could he embarrass you in front of all those outsiders? That was brutal of him!" Betty wasn't satisfied with maligning Lauren. She stabbed Newton in the back, too.

Sophia was already dead. Now, Javier was the only one in the Beckett family she could rely on.

After all, Newton no longer sided with her. Since this was the case, she figured that she should continue sowing discord. She wanted to drive a wedge further in between Newton and Javier.

As she expected, the expression on Javier's face turned even darker after hearing what she said.

Deep down, she was gleeful. She suddenly recalled when Sophia told her about a rift between Javier and Chester. So, she decided to leverage this to sow more seeds of discord.

"Dad, what do you think Grandpa meant? He can't be thinking that Uncle Chester could come back to life, right?"

Rory looked at Betty. He was astonished.

Javier pulled his hand away from the table abruptly. He looked up slowly. He directed his chilling gaze toward Betty.

She shuddered.

"What did you say?"

"Dad, listen to me… Since you were young, Grandpa favored Uncle Chester. He showed little care toward you. He didn't care much about you even though you are his eldest son. The eldest son should be the one who takes over the family business. You weren't even like Justin, who's always sickly.

"Based on Grandpa's behavior, he seems dissatisfied with you being in charge. However, what can he do? Could he bring Uncle Chester back from the dead?"

Suddenly, Javier hit the ceiling. He raised his hand and slapped Betty in the face.

Betty screamed.

His slap was forceful. Betty felt a splitting headache, and she started seeing stars.

Javier's eyes were bulging with anger. He pointed at her swollen face and chided, "Your grandfather and Uncle Chester are both your elders! Who says that you can spew rubbish right here? Get out!"

Betty's mind ran blank. She cupped her face in her hands and scurried out of the study.
