“Useless!” Andrew coughed painfully, pointing at her and scolding. “Since you got close to Jasper, ha you ever done anything useful for our family? We've been struggling for years.

Jasper became her first experiment when she was eight years old. Initially, she despised him for bein: instead.
But Sophia suggested she use Jasper as a stepping stone, even
if she didn't like him. Having a Beckett to be
her lapdog and be at her beck and call would benefit her greatly.
Sophia allowed her to become Jasper's savior and the light in his dark life. This led to his obsession \ Throughout this process, she greatly helped the Gardner family. But in the
