Female Novel
Chapter 1852
Orlander's act of leaking the news about Freddy and Lauren's marriage had sent shockwaves through the high society of SolanaCity. Everyone congratulated the Hodgsons, but they were secretly taunting the family, who had settled for a mentally ill futuredaughter-in-law just to social climb.
Newton caught wind of the gossip, which added to his opposition to the marriage. When he voiced out his disapproval, Javierwould counter him with the way the Harpers had bullied Lauren.
"| vehemently opposed Lauren dating that brat, but you insisted on blessing the wrong match. You sent my beloved daughter tothat loser and made her the laughingstock of the city!
"On top of that, you scolded me in front of Jasper and Landon, ignoring my concerns and humiliating me. Look where your lovefor your granddaughter led to. You made her suffer."
Newton frowned deeply and let out a frustrated sigh. "Do you think that, as your father, | can't read your mind? You never reallycared for Lauren. All you care about is your ego. You couldn't get over being insulted."
Javier clenched his jaw.
"Do you know Freddy Hodgson well? | picked Landon because firstly, Lauren loves him. Secondly, he's Jasper's best friend fromchildhood, and we know him better.
"The Harpers might be a dumpster fire, but Landon is an excellent young man. You've been secretly adding pressure on theHarper Group and messing with their projects.
"Despite that, Landon was able to solve the challenges and keep the company morale high as the president. | believe he iscompetent enough to carry out a purge in the Harper Group."
The light in Javier's eyes dimmed. He had known that Newton, despite being upset about Lauren's treatment, remained fond ofLandon. Newton seemed to want Lauren and Landon back together after his anger subsided.
Now that Jasper had taken control of nearly half of the Beckett Group's projects, Javier knew it was a matter of time before thetransfer of power occurred.
Javier would only suffer another round of humiliation if he couldn't have a say in Lauren's marriage.
“Most importantly, Lauren is unlike the others!" Tears welled up in Newton's eyes when he recalled Lauren's sufferings. "As herdad, you know how much she loves Landon.
“How could you force her to marry a stranger right after she broke up with Landon? Do you even care for your daughter? Are youout of your mind?"
Gritting his teeth, Javier explained, "Lauren and Freddy attended the same high school for three years. They knew each otherwell. Besides, she has agreed to the marriage."
Shell-struck, Newton gasped, "What did you say? Lauren... Did you force her to agree to it?
“Hah. Do | even need to force it on her?" Arching a brow, Javier snapped, "Lauren is all grown up now. She knows theimportance of weighing the pros and cons. She is aware that compatibility trumps affection.
"You're the only one who treats her like a child. Stop claiming that | don't care about my daughter when you're so out of tune withyour granddaughter."
"Shut the fuck up!" Glowering, Newton grabbed the teapot from the coffee table and hurled it toward Javier.
This time, Javier learned his lesson. He quickly moved away. The teapot missed him and crashed onto the ground, where itshattered into pieces.
That night, Javier accepted the invitation of the Hodgsons to the Hodgson family party. He planned to bring Lauren along.
