Chapter 986
Sophia was in disbelief. How could this have happened?
Sophia was nothing without her status as the Beckett Group’s chairman’s wife. No one would pay her
any respect.
It was precisely because she was Javier’s wife that Jasper and Alyssa had been tiptoeing around her,
making it impossible to target her directly.
Jasper and Alyssa would undoubtedly tear her apart if she lost Javier’s protection.
“From now on, you’re not allowed to step out of Seaview Manor without my orders. If you dare to
disobey, I’ll send you abroad, and you won’t set foot in Solana City again.”
“How can you be so unreasonable, Javier? I attended the funeral with good intentions to help clean up
the aftermath!
“It’s Alyssa, that vicious bitch, who keeps attacking me. She wants to ruin Beckett Group. It’s because
of her that things have escalated to this point!” Sophia frantically defended herself.

Javier no longer wanted to hear her nonsense. His tone was harsh and filled with hatred as he said,
“I’ve investigated. You were the one who arranged those reporters!
“You know Alyssa is not easy to deal with, yet you lead people to provoke her. You asked for it. You
wanted to be a clown. Don’t blame others! Get lost! Stop bothering me!”
“Javier! You can’t treat me like this… Javier!”
l of their intense struggle, a loud crash echoed.

The wooden box in Javier’s hand fell to the ground, and its contents spilled out.
Anne’s belongings were scattered everywhere, and the emerald
bracelet he had given her shattered into two pieces.
Furious, Javier glared at Sophia, his eyes almost bursting out of their sockets.
Sophia was frightened by his fierce gaze. When she looked at the items on the ground, her face turned
even paler.
She recognized them. Those were Anne’s belongings.
Why would he be holding Anne’s belongings?
Why would he cherish the belongings of a deceased woman he had forgotten for 20 years?
“Get out of here now.”
Javier kneeled, feeling his heart ached. He picked up each item, clenching them tightly in his hands.
“Javier, I didn’t mean to. I-‘
“Get out!” Javier roared, almost hysterically.
It was late at night, and it was peaceful inside the study room. The moonlight filtered through the
window, casting a desolate glow on
Javier’s face.

Rory entered, bringing him medicine to lower his blood pressure.
“Mr. Javier, it’s late. You haven’t been feeling well lately. You should rest early.”
“You’ve suffered tonight.” Javier’s voice was low. He repeatedly looked at Anne’s photos.
Rory was stunned for a moment. When he realized Javier was referring to Sophia slapping him, he
smiled indifferently.

“I’ve been with you for many years. This is nothing. But I think if it were Ms. Bartley, she would never
allow you to be troubled like this.”
“Yeah… Anne wouldn’t. She was the kindest person.”
As Javier spoke, his throat constricted, and his eyes reddened.
“Do you want to start drafting a divorce agreement?” Rory asked tentatively.
Javier’s eyes showed an indescribable desolation, and he said hoarsely, “Not now. There are too many
troubles at the moment. Beckett Group cannot afford new chaos.”
