Ben could tell something was off between them but didn’t want to comment on it. He said anxiously. “There’s been an accident. I’m on my way to get it sorted out.”
“What happened?” Alyssa asked, worried.
“What?” Belly shrieked but was quickly silenced with a hand on her mouth.
“Shh! Be quiet!”
“Y¨CYou wanna drug Allison? During tonight’s celebration?”
Liana whispered deviously. “If we can get Allison to sleep with Jonah tonight right when the celebration is going on, imagine the impact on her!
“Then, Allison’s carefully built reputation would crumble apart in front of the masses, angering and disgusting both Jeremy and her grandfather. Even the Taylor family wouldn’t want anything to do with her anymore.
“Plus, you hate how close she is with Mr. Harper, don’t you? Do you think he would still want to be involved with Allison once news of her being a whore goes out?”
Betty gaped at Liana in shock. It was true that she despised Alyssa and had thought of confronting her from time to time, but never to drag her down in such a backward way!
“If someone finds out about this, we’re doomed!”
“No one will know. There are so many people here tonight. Plus, even if they did, they wouldn’t have any evidence that it was us. If you’re scared, send someone to do it in your stead.
“Pour a bit of this in Jonah Taylor’s glass, and I’ll do Allison’s. We’ll do it sneakily and separately. That way, no one will be able to trace it back to us,” Liana said.
For good measure, she then added, “You also saw how Mr. Harper only had eyes for Allison tonight. He barely looks at you and doesn’t even talk to you.”
Betty’s heart tugged painfully as shame and embarrassment clouded her chest.
“If you don’t remove Allison from this equation, you’ll never get your chance with Mr. Harper. You’ll end up being made a fool. So think carefully about what you want to do next!” Liana urged Betty on, using Sophia’s words to her advantage.
Finally, Betty nodded, her eyes determined.
Outside, the guests were still enthralled with the aria performance. Landon hadn’t been able to take his eyes away from Alyssa, who looked beautiful onstage.
Jeremy was also staring at her familiar yet distant face. Everything he had consumed turned to acid and tar in his throat.
“No wonder men have suffered years of agony all for her. Beauty, terrible beauty!” Jonah said lightly, sighing under his breath.
Just then, a wave of gasps swept across the crowd of guests. Alyssa opened her eyes out of curiosity.
What she saw made her freeze up right on the spot.
Winston Taylor was walking into the garden, accompanied by his secretary and several armed guards. He had a regal air about him that made the guests step out of his way almost instantly.
“Is¨CIs that KS Group’s president, Winston Taylor?”

Alyssa’s vote wavered best the allobteal as for heart pompted against her chest.
Why was Whyshon here?
Was he here for Newton’s bithday?
Jonah recovered from his shock and got up from his seat. “Dad, what are you doing here?”
He shot a worried look at the stage, where Alyssa was.
“What? Why can’t I be here? Hey, you never even let me know you were coming. We would’ve made such the entrance earlier,” Winston scowled, then shot Newton a hearty smile. “Long time no see, old man. Your youth has not left you, I see!”
“My goodness, what an honor to have you here!” Newton hurriedly stood up to shake hands with Winston.
Javier and the rest of Newton’s family hurriedly stood up to greet Winston.
Jeremy, on the other hand, had narrowed his eyes. He didn’t recall seeing Winston and Jonah Taylor’s names on the guest list earlier tonight.
It didn’t seem like Newton had known they were coming over either.
That could only mean Javier had personally invited the man.
But why?
“I apologize for being late. We just got off the plane. Come, let me drink to your health!” Winston raised a glass of wine.
Jeremy couldn’t help but be reminded of Jonah and Alyssa for some reason. He took a deep breath, feeling like he might be losing his mind.
Then, Jeremy silently asked himself, “What else are you capable of, Allison Burton?”
Newton and Winston began chatting up a storm. They were so enthusiastic that you couldn’t tell their families had a history of being at one another’s necks.
On the other hand, these two men had a different relationship altogether, though it wasn’t easily discernible.
Jeremy and Landon then got out of their seats to give Newton and Winston the main table to themselves. Jeremy nodded his head respectfully, saying, “Landon and I will leave for now.”
Winston said, “Oh? Is this young Jeremy and Landon Harper? I haven’t seen you two in ages. Look at how fine you’ve become!”
Winston eyed the two men, then asked, “I heard your grandson’s getting married, Newton?”
Newton’s expression changed just the slightest upon hearing that question.
“Yes, Mr. Taylor. My son is engaged to the Gardner family’s daughter, Liana Gardner. We hope you might care to attend the wedding next month,” Javier added eagerly.
“Gardner Group? Never heard of it,” Winston murmured flatly, making Javier and Sophia tense up.
“Liana’s my niece. She’s childhood friends with Jeremy,” Sophia said skittishly, then kept quiet.
She didn’t want to say anything else further, as it would only remind them of the furniture issue from before, which caused a rift between the Taylor and Gardner family.
But she really didn’t like this feeling Winston made her feel, as if she was being looked down upon. Liana was her family, after all. She couldn’t let such mockery stand.
“Okay then. Come, Newton, another drink to your health!”
Just like that, Winston had tossed anything to do with the Gardners into a trashcan in his mind. He didn’t give a damn who Jeremy was going to marry.
His beloved daughter, Alyssa, would always be number one to him. No way in hell would Jeremy Walsh be of the same standing with her.
either!
Meanwhile, Alyssa had finished her singing. She was giving her thanks when she noticed Winston had spotted her in the distance.
Only God knew how terrified her poor little heart was. It felt ready to burst from her chest.
Jeremy peered at the stage, but Alyssa had long left. He could only frown, brows knit together in focus.
