Can't Win Me Back

“Are you dumb? Do you not know the reason you’re trending? How could you be proud of that?” Sophia berated Betty,

Betty rubbed her forehead. She wasn’t dumb–just momentarily distracted when Alice White trended along with her.

“S–So, what do I do? The scandal is bad for me. Now that everyone knows Alice White saved the girl, I can’t fight back against public opinion. Am I really going to be crushed by that country bumpkin?”

“I’ve talked to your dad on your behalf. He says that you should never clarify or apologize in any way. Just keep quiet about it!” Sophia said in a low voice.

She continued, “Jasper will settle this for you anyway. He won’t allow any threat to the Beckett Group. Just keep a low profile and ride this out. Don’t do anything st* pid in public. Got it?”

Betty felt better after being comforted by Sophia. She hung up and continued shopping at the luxury store she owned with the two girlfriends she met at the bar last time.

At the same time, a Rolls–Royce rolled to a stop in front of the luxury store, EV Concepts. Alyssa emerged from the car, dressed in a luxurious tailored blue suit. With Sean behind her, she marched right into the store.

Her presence immediately attracted the attention of the staff. They marveled at her beauty and

sass.

“How are you, miss? Is there anything I can do for you?” A female employee approached Alyssa with excitement. She was blinded by Alyssa’s beauty to notice Sean’s handsomeness.

“I want to meet your boss, Betty Beckett. I do not need anyone else to attend to me.” Alyssa went straight to the point.

“Well…”

“I know she’s upstairs. She’ll regret making me wait.”

“M–May I have your name?”

Alyssa was as dazzling as ever, even when she smirked. “Just tell her it’s Ms. White.”

The employee dashed upstairs to notify Betty. Betty was taken aback when she heard that a beauty named Ms. White had arrived and requested a meeting. She felt the urge to throw things around to release her anger, but she remembered that the items in the store were expensive This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Just when she was at a loss, one of her girlfriends spoke up with indignation, “Betty, I’m pretty

“Right! Now that she has shown up, you cannot let this slip! This is the perfect chance to get back

at her!”

“We’ll get your reputation back and teach her a lesson! Come on! Let’s meet her!”

After they fanned the fire, Betty was increasingly furious and rushed downstairs with her two

girlfriends.

“Alice White, you shameless divorcee! The audacity to ask to see me!”

Meanwhile, Alice sat drinking tea with her legs crossed. Her slender legs were attractive, even when they were hidden underneath her ironed pants. She sipped the tea leisurely as though she was at home.

“Ms. Betty, is this how you do business? Aren’t you afraid of hurting your reputation by mistreating your customer?”

“You’re no guest–just a gold digger who threw herself at Silas to get a share of our family inheritance!” Betty poked her expensive acrylic nails in Alice’s face. 2

The store was empty except for the employees, who exchanged looks at Betty’s outburst. They found it hard to believe Betty’s accusation because Alice appeared wealthy and well–groomed.

“Fine. I’ll get to the point. I’m not here to shop. The stuff in this store is cheap and not to my taste.” Alice flashed a calm smile. She didn’t bother to feel enraged at Betty, who was shallow and dumb.

Betty had wanted to fire back but quietened when she saw the costly Ragnarok brooch on Alice’s chest.

“The goal of my visit is simple.” Alice placed the cup on the table without so much as giving Betty a look. “Please host a press conference and publicly apologize to my hotel employee, who was humiliated and hospitalized all because of you.”
