Chapter 393
The day after the KS World Hotel scandal, Betty dressed up nicely to meet with Ada at the presidential suite of Berenike Hotel.
It was clear to her that Betty fell short in comparison to Alyssa in terms of fashion sense, class, and
eloquence.
In ordi
ordinary circumstances, Ada would never have considered associating with such a superficial person were it not for the fact that
Betty was a Beckett.
“Madam Ada, KS World’s contractual breach has led to the postponement of your wedding. Even I was worried when I heard the
news. Their handling of the situation was amateur and careless.
“It was highly unprofessional of them to expose client’s information online. This case will no doubt be the perfect cautionary tale
in the industry.” Betty indignantly bashed KS World Hotel, oblivious to the sullen look on Ada’s face.
She went on, “Had you chosen Berenike Hotel, you wouldn’t have gotten into this mess.”
“Are
you implying that I was bad at decisions?” confronted Ada, who took a sip of the black tea in
amusement.
Betty’s face froze. She stammered, “I-I didn’t mean that.”
“Ms. Beckett, I’d like you to know that the termination of my partnership with KS World Hotel does not
mean I’ll choose Berenike Hotel.
“Ms. Alyssa is an excellent manager. Perhaps there were some untold issues behind their breach of
contract. Who knows? Their competitors might have framed them.”
Betty was stung by Ada’s casual remark because of her guilt.
“B-But didn’t you terminate the contract with KS World Hotel?”
“That’s because we needed to honor the terms of the contract.” Ada snickered and added, “There’s a
common saying in Cyrris about refraining from gossiping behind others’ backs.
“I believe you’re familiar with it due to your excellent upbringing. Moreover, there is no reason for the prestigious Beckett Group
to put others down just to uplift itself.”
Betty’s
expression stiffened at Ada’s jab, and she felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.
She had initially thought that Alyssa and Ada’s relationship had soured due to the photo leak. To her
“Madam Ada, there isn’t enough time before your wedding to switch hotels and restart the planning.” Betty realized that she
might have been overly confident and quickly put on a humble attitude.
She advised, “If you choose the Berenike Hotel, we will not postpone the wedding. We will set up the wedding venue right away
and ensure everything is completed on schedule.”
“I can work with the Beckett Group, but on one condition,” replied Ada. She tossed her short hair absent- mindedly. “I want Mr.
Beckett to liaise with me through the process. He’s the only one I trust at the company.”
Betty stormed out of the hotel in a fit of anger.
She felt deeply humiliated by Ada’s unwavering trust in Jasper. She wished she could shake Ada by the shoulders to snap her
out of whatever spell Alyssa had cast on her. Why else would Ada continue to defy
her?
Betty called her mother, tears streaming down her face. “Mom! What should I do now?”
“Does that actress really think she’s the queen because she’s having a wedding? How dare she dismiss my daughter? I hope her
marriage falls apart. Sophia was outraged.
Her voice turned icy as she continued, “Go beg your dad to put some pressure on that bitch for now. Javier will step in to protect
the hotel’s interest.”
Taking Sophia’s orders, Betty rushed to the Beckett Group building. In the chairman’s office, she sobbed
on Javier’s shoulders about the cold treatment she received from Ada.
“Betty, you’re too naive and sheltered to understand the harshness of the world.” Javier massaged her
neck, feeling sorry for his beloved daughter.
He advised, “You are still a little tactless because you’ve just started the job. Take this as a lesson.
Remember, your facial expression and the look in your eyes are a reflection of your inner thoughts.”
