Alyssa was at a loss for words at that moment.
Gasps filled the hall as the guests stared at her in disbelief. The talented daughter of the affluent Taylor family stood exposed as
infertile. They couldn't imagine the life she led under the Beckett family and the extent of torture Jasper had inflicted on her.
Despite her social status, her infertility was akin to a death sentence. Her infertility would weigh heavily on her, taking away the
fundamental right to reproduce that every woman possessed.
Landon's expression froze, momentarily paralyzed by the shock. Even then, he had to support Jonah, who was on the verge of
collapse upon learning of Alyssa's infertility.
As her brother, Jonah thought he was aware of all her secrets, but he was proven wrong. He chastised himself and his other
brothers for failing to protect their sister.
Now that Winston had turned against Jasper, Zoe shifted her attention to Javier. "Mr. Javier, your son has gravely hurt Alyssa. I
think it's impossible for you to support their relationship now, don't you think? It's very unfair to Alyssa, and I believe you wouldn't
impose such a burden on her."
Javier interpreted her words differently. Zoe seemed to hint at him that Alyssa no longer qualified as the daughter-in-law of the
Becketts unless they were prepared to accept her infertility.
Changing his tack, Javier shifted the blame to Jasper. "Jasper, do you truly believe you're suitable for Alyssa? Being with you
must be a constant source of pain for her, a stark reminder of her lost child. If you genuinely love her, you should let her go. Go
separate ways and live your best lives."
Go separate ways and live your best lives?
Jasper teared up and shook his head dejectedly. The sudden revelation of his deceased child was overwhelmingly painful,
leaving him burdened with guilt and remorse.
"Zoe Harper," a menacing voice followed as Landon approached her. He stood before her with a tense expression.
"Landon, it's too late for you to intervene," she taunted, emboldened by Cornelius' support and confident that Landon wouldn't
retaliate at a public event.
To her shock, she felt a gust of breeze when Landon delivered slaps across her face. Screaming, she fell onto the floor, blood
oozing from both her nose and her mouth.
Onlookers beside her recoiled in disbelief. No one had anticipated Landon to hit his sister thrice in front of his family and the
public.
Landon's eyes were devoid of warmth. He took out a silk napkin from the front pocket of his suit and casually wiped his reddened
hand. He replied, "You're right. It's too late for me to do anything. That's
why I have no choice but to resort to a physical solution for what you have done.
"Zoe Harper, I can't believe that you're my sister. Your actions are despicable, and you're a disgrace to me. Haven't people
always spoken of karmic retribution? Well, if karma hasn't yet delivered its due, I'll take matters into my own hands!"
