Alyssa did not shy away from Jasperâs passionate gaze this time. She melted inside, wondering how deep his love for her was, seeing how he was close to tears when he looked at her.
Meanwhile, Sophia and Betty were in hot water because they had nowhere to escape. Alyssa stood in their way, and the reporters swarmed behind them.
At that moment, Rosie played a recording on her phone in front of the crowds. Amid the hushed silence, they were shocked to hear Sophia cursing her maids from the recording..
The reporters gasped, âOh, my God! Quick! Get that on video!â
Another questioned, âIs that how a woman in her position should behave? Even the market vendor I know has better manners!â
âIf we air this, we might have to censor it from the beginning till the end!â
All color drained from Bettyâs face. She had her fair share of abusing maids at home and worried that Rosie would play a recording of her actions.
Rosie lifted her phone high and yelled, âLook! This is how much Mrs. Beckett cares for her maids!â
âHow dare you do this to me, you old bitch! Stop playing it!â Fuming, Sophia charged at Rosie to snatch the phone, but the Taylor familyâs bodyguards stopped her from getting any closer to Rosie.
The media recorded the scene, showing Sophia comically clawing at the air when the bodyguards held her back.
Rosie taunted, âOh, Mrs. Beckett, are you triggered by just one the tip of the iceberg of your abusive behavior over the years.â
With that, Rosie played another recording. Everyone instantly heard a sound that resembled a slap in the face.
In the recording, Sophia shrieked in an abrasive voice, saying, âNina Carle, are you dumb? How could you mess this up? Weâre not going to keep useless people around!â
Sophia paled and started trembling when she heard the recording. In the recording, Nina replied in a pain-filled voice, much to the dismay of the people at the funeral. âI-Iâm sorry, Madam Sophia. Iâll clean it up now. Ah-â
Bettyâs voice emerged, and she sounded as horrible as her mother. Nina, did you not hear me? You need to get your ears checked!â
âSorry, Ms. Betty. Iâll be there soonâ¦
Sophia and Betty were speechless when Rosie provided the evidence. Seething, Silas nearly charged at the mother and daughter to scold them but was held back by Jonah and Cyrus.
Silas snapped, âAre you still living in the last century? How could you abuse your maids? Even the royals in history did not treat their servants that way!â
Axel clicked his tongue and shook his head. âSilas can be quite frightening when heâs triggered.â
Alyssa felt resentful when she heard the recording. Her throat went dry.
Jasper held her by the waist, a gesture to calm her down, but he nearly lost his temper as well.
There was a commotion among the reporters after Sophia and Betty were called out. Sophia gritted her teeth and dragged Betty out of the Alyssa and Jasper felt a sudden chill. They looked up and saw Ninaâs expressionless grandmother splashing a bowl of hot soup at Sophia.
Sophia screamed at the top of her lungs. Scalded and reeking of the soupâs contents, she had never been in such a humiliating situation before.
