Chapter 170
How unbelievably cruel of you to bully your younger sibling, Betty Beckett!
Mrs. Rosie, look, Funderstand, truly. But please remember that I am not Jasper’s wife anymore. I’m an outsider who has no say in family mallers. Alyssa was helpless despite her feeling indignant.
“I know. But who else can I count on except for you? I can’t talk to anyone about this.” Mrs. Rosie wept.
“Hey, d–don’t cry.” Alyssa felt sorry for the old lady and gently comforted her, “I have taken note of Lauren’s situation. Please take care of her for now. F’ll help her out if I get the chance to do so.”
“Thank you! Thank you, Madam Alice!” Mrs. Rosie expressed immense gratitude and reluctantly ended the call
Abyssa sighed after the phone screen went dark.
“Is she the old lady at the Becketts that you’ve mentioned before?” asked Jonah after taking a sip of tea.
“Yeah. She’s an honest and kind soul who raised Jasper. She was good to me when I lived at the Becketts“.”

“It must have been a serious matter if she felt the pressing need to call you.”
“It was Lauren, the youngest of the Becketts.”
Her heart pained upon recalling Lauren’s innocent and blank face. “That child’s autistic. And she’s pretty reserved and introverted. She doesn’t get much attention from her parents and lives her life walking on eggshells.”
Alyssa continued, “I was able to help her out when I was with the Becketts. Betty did not go hard on her when I was involved because she’d have to play nice with her sister–in–law. But things went downhill after I left.”
“Well I pity the girl but this is their family matter.” Sighing softly, he looked concerned for his sister. “You should keep out of the Beckett
family drama now that you’re divorced.” 1
“I know. I won’t cross the line. By the way, I thought you were busy at work. Did you visit me because you missed me?” Walking around him, she hugged his neck from behind.
“Of course I miss you. But the reason I’m here is because of this. I think we need to discuss.” With a smile, he handed her an invitation
