Female Novel
Chapter 1816
Betty's face at this moment was even paler than a sheet.Asking her to apologize to that dumbo on her knees was a fate worse than death.
She immediately looked toward Newton, but his face was full of anger. He didn't even bother to make eye contact with her. Itseemed he was determined to abandon her.
Seeing Newton ignore her completely, she then kneeled before Javier. She clung to his legs, pleading desperately with tearsstreaming down her face, "Dad! | know | was wrong... I'll never do it again.
“Exiling me from Solana City and not allowing me to be by your side is already cruel punishment! I'm your daughter too. Don't |deserve any respect? Will he only be satisfied when he drives me to my death? Dad!"
Her desperate cry sounded like she was the one being bullied.
Frowning, Javier wanted to pull her up. After all, it was quite undignified to have so many helpers watching this scene. But Bettyclung to his legs like a parasite. He probably couldn't kick her off, even if he tried.
"Jasper, the punishment you proposed is already severe enough. Let's skip the apology,” Javier said. Even though his wordssounded like a negotiation, his tone was commanding.
Jasper's dark eyes glinted with a piercing coldness as he pressed his lips into a thin line.
Aspark flickered in Betty's tear-filled eyes, a sudden rekindling of hope in the depths of her despair. Perhaps Javier still saw heras his daughter, offering a sliver of mercy.
After the storm passed and Newton's anger subsided, she would still have a chance to return to Solana City and live her carefreedays.
Just as Betty was secretly delighted, Jasper's cold voice rang out, "She handed Lauren's report over to treacherous people,exposing her condition to everyone and hurting her so deeply. And you want to resolve this matter quietly? No way."
"Jasper, just because you're the CEO doesn't mean you can do whatever you want!"Javier's eyes were red. He was clearly angry. "I'm your father. You have to listen to me!"
“Betty is your daughter, but isn't Lauren as well? You're biased, letting the innocent Lauren suffer mentally while constantlyforgiving Betty, who committed such a crime."novelbin
Jasper's words were sharp. Smirking, he continued, "By doing this, aren't you disregarding Grandpa's anger? How is this anydifferent from slapping him in the face?"
If Javier wanted to use his father's status to suppress him, then Jasper would use Newton's revered status to counter—everything could be countered, after all.
"You...!" Javier was so enraged by the counterattack that his breathing turned erratic.
