Chapter 78
After receiving treatment, Liana was transferred to a normal ward. The doctor said she wasn’t
seriously injured.
Although the wound was a little deep, it didn’t require stitches. She had fainted because of her excessive panic and ment*l tension.
“You finally woke up, Liana!” Rosaline cried by her bed. She sobbed as if she was in Liana’s wake.” I thought I would never see you again!”
“Alright, alright, stop mourning. Jasper isn’t here. There’s no point in crying so loudly. You’re bothering me,” Sophia said.
She crossed her arms and asked, “Have you figured out how to handle this situation?”
“Which situation?” Rosaline wiped away her tears, a little confused.
“Which situation? Don’t tell me you’ve messed up more than once?” Sophia sneered as she glared at her useless younger sister. 1
“Your failures are more than your successes. Do I look like a magical genie? I’ve been supporting you so that your daughter ends up with Jasper. With that bird brain of yours, do you think your daughter could enter such a noble family? No way!”
Liana also held a grudge against her mother for being shortsighted and only caring about
immediate benefits.
To make ends meet, she sold the necklace that Jasper gave her. If it hadn’t ended up in the hands of the Taylor family, nothing would have happened today. Her relationship with Jasper wouldn’t
have been at risk.
“Sophia, I must talk to you about this!” Rosaline had been scolded by Sophia since she was young. And now she felt embarrassed to be scolded in front of her daughter.
Annoyed and embarrassed, she said, “Today, Liana and I were almost successful. So why did your daughter intervene? If it weren’t for her, things wouldn’t have ended up like this!”
“How would I know that Lauren was in the bathroom? Liana, you too. How many times have I told you? Why are you so careless in handling things, leaving others with evidence you don’t even
know about?!” Sophia was also angry, but it was her fault. Hence, she shifted the blame to Liana.
Liana felt wronged but could only pout in silence.
“Anyway, right now, words alone aren’t enough,” Sophia said. “There is no evidence proving that Liana caused her injury. Liana, if Jasper asks, you just act crazy and clueless.”

She added, “Jasper has feelings for you, so we’ll get past this ” Feeling an incoming headache, Sophia massaged her temples. “If that doesn’t work, I have another way to make Jasper forgive
you.”
“Alright, Aunt Sophia.” Thinking of how many people protected Alice, her face contorted in jealousy. “What did Alice do to make everyone from the Taylor family treat her so well? Mrs Taylor is protecting her as if she were her daughter. If this continues, Alice will step on our heads!
As soon as Mandy was mentioned, Sophia’s expression soured. “Mrs. Taylor? She’s nothing but a
mistress! I showed her some respect because of Mr. Taylor. Yet she dared to confront me!”
“That’s right! Aunt Sophia, you are the legitimate wife of Javier Beckett and a proper lady. How
can Mandy compare to you?” Liana flattered her aunt as she still needed her help.
Rosaline sneered secretly. How could Sophia criticize Mandy when she used to be a mistress? If
she hadn’t deceived Jasper’s foolish birth mother, she would never have entered the Beckett. family given her barren womb.
“I won’t let Alice become part of the Taylors by marriage. Why bother pleasing Mandy?” Sophia narrowed her eyes, a cold light flashing. “Winston is the real deal. I heard from Javier that he is at
hard person to deal with, and he values the family’s reputation.”
She added, “Jonah is the eldest son he has trained to be his heir. The eldest son is definitely going to marry a daughter from a wealthy, influential family. He wouldn’t stand still if his son married a country bumpkin! There’s still a long time ahead of us. Let that fox be happy for a few days. I’ll
make her cry sooner or later!”
Sophia had barely finished her sentence when the door to the ward suddenly opened. A chill swept in, and Jasper’s tall and handsome figure filled the door frame.
“Jasper.” Liana felt a chill in her heart. She began to act pitifully.
“I must ask you something.”
Hearing that, Liana clutched the blanket. She trembled and hurriedly sought help from Sophia
“Jasper, Liana has been through a great shock. She just woke up. Let’s wait until she recovers before asking her anything.” Sophia tried to persuade him gently.
“I must ask her now “Jasper refused to compromise.
