Betty covered the receiver with her hand. Even though she was furious, she still tried to act sneakily.
"Just a little while ago, Landon came to my house to propose marriage. Initially, my father wasn't in agreement. Then, Alyssa andJasper showed up with Grandpa!
"With a few words, Grandpa gave my father an earful. He even sealed the deal on Lauren's marriage with Landon! They aregoing to be engaged soon! Surely Landon will knock that idiot up right after.
“What use would there be for you to come back after that? Are you going to celebrate becoming an aunt?"There was silence on the other end of the call."Hey! Say something..."
"Don't you worry. I'm not the only one among the Harpers who does not wish to see Lauren marrying Landon. A marriage alliancebetween wealthy families may seem like a strong alliance, but in reality, it is full of weaknesses. A small misstep is enough tomake everything fall through.novelbin
"Jasper and Alyssa are hopeless romantics. How many more individuals of this sort are there in the world? Landon? Hah, thatwould be a joke,” Zoe sniggered without hesitation.
That said, there was one thing that she couldn't deny—Jasper and Alyssa's love was steadfast. The love they shared wasunseen and unheard of in Solana City.
Before Betty could respond, Zoe continued, "One more thing. You didn't even get to have a funeral for your mother. You must bebored to death. Freddy came to Yoarkley to see me recently.
"How about you come over and spend some time with me? I can pay for your expenses if you're short on cash. You have aprivate plane, right? If not, | can pay for your flight, too."
Betty was enraged with embarrassment.
Earlier, she had been ridiculed for failing to find a husband. On the very same day, she got mocked for being poor. She wishedthat she could destroy the entire world.
"That Freddy is your lapdog. Others might not know it, but | do. Why would | fly over to where you are? I'll just end up watchingyou both being lovey-dovey with one another.”
"That's up to you then."
Betty took a moment to calm herself down. She instructed one of the helpers to brew some chamomile tea. Then, she brought itover to Javier in person.
Now, they were the only two members of the Beckett family who were in Seaview Manor. Earlier, Landon was so brutally honestin exposing her dark secret. Naturally, she had to seize all possible opportunities to cajole Javier.
She took a deep breath before knocking on the door to the study.
Rory opened the door. He looked at her coldly. "Ms. Betty, what brings you here? Mr. Javier isn't feeling too well. He needs to getsome rest."
"Uh... | noticed that he didn't look too good. So, | went to the kitchen and made him some chamomile tea," Betty answered withan innocent look.
"Let her in," Javier ordered in a lowvoice. Rory then stepped aside tomake way for her, albeit unwillingly.The content is on NovelDrama.Org!Read the latest chapter there!

"Thanks. Just leave it there," Javier replied frigidly. He didn’t even look up at her.
"Simmer down, Dad. | am always on your side no matter what anyone else says or does.She placed the tray down. She walked to Javier's side cautiously.
"I'm sure that you've also witnessed ittoday. Lauren isn't even married yet,and her allegiance is elsewherealready. You've raised her and lovedher for so many years. Yet, sheabandoned you after she found herman. That's too cruel of her." Thecontent is on NovelDrama.Org! Readthe latest chapter there!
Javier knitted his brows into a tight frown. His face was extremely frosty.
