Chapter 970: Chapter 970

People were more interested in useless celebrity gossip than actual news in this era.

Suddenly, a reporter bravely shoved a microphone in Sophia’s face and confronted her, asking, “Mrs.

Beckett, have you abused your maids like what Ms. Alyssa said? Was Nina Carle a subject of your abuse?”

Sophia was astonished that the media she invited to the funeral had turned against her.

Jasper held Alyssa’s hand tight. He complimented her. “Lyse, you’re awesome. You’re way better than me. I can never be as good as you Staring at her, he smiled bitterly. “I feel like I’m out of your league Then, he tenderly whispered, “You had pursued me in the last 13 years. From now on, I will be the one to do the pursuing.”

Touched by his words, she wrapped her fingers against his.

The other reporters flocked to question Sophia and Betty. The two women, sweating profusely, argued, “No, that’s not the truth! You shouldn’t listen to Alyssa Taylor’s nonsense!”

“Madam Sophia, you cannot get out of this,” a familiar voice boomed with indignation.

Shocked, Alyssa and Jasper spun around to find Rosie storming toward them.

“Mrs. Rosie!” they exclaimed.

Rosie greeted them, “Ms. Alyssa, Mr. Beckett, sorry for showing up against your wish. I know you hid the truth from me because you didn’t want to upset me, but I was the one who raised Nina. She was like a daughter to me.”

Then, she choked on her tears and grieved. “I can’t send her off after all the time I spent with her.”

“Mrs. Rosie, I’m sorry,” Jasper apologized and sighed, feeling guilty for hiding the truth from her.

Alyssa gave Rosie a hug and a pat on the back without any word.

After the short exchange, Rosie pulled herself together and glared at Sophia. “Ms. Alyssa is right. Many maids, including Nina, have been abused by Madam Sophia. I have worked for them for 30 years and know more than Ms. Alyssa. I swear to God that Ms. Alyssa spoke. the truth.”

“Mrs. Rosie, have you gone mad? Did Alyssa pay you to slander us?” Sophia pointed a finger at Rosie.

“You’re a longtime employee. We gave you the best treatment a maid could receive in Solana City.

How could you turn against your benefactors and spew nonsense about us just because someone paid you to? Where’s your conscience?” “If I did not have a conscience, I wouldn’t have shown up.”
