“Release her,” Landón commanded, his gaze unwavering as it bore down on the two maids. His tonecarried a menacing edge akin to an infernal angel. The two maids nervously looked to Betty for help.
Betty was aware of Landon’s affection for Lauren from the way he ordered the maids around. She hadwanted to cave in for her Mr. McDreamy but changed her mind upon second thought.
Following Sophia’s clash with the Harpers after Zoe’s incident, any hopes of Landon developingfeelings for Betty had been shattered.
Moreover, Landon’s intervention in their family affairs, even if it was out of concern for Lauren, was
entirely unwarranted.
Brimming with resentment, Betty hissed, “Do not release her! You’re working for the Becketts, and your
shall listen to m-”
Her words were abruptly silenced by a piercing scream.
One of the maids restraining Lauren was sent hurtling through the air by the force of Landon’s kick.Betty
stared in shock as the maid landed on the floor like a ragdoll.
The second maid hastily released Lauren and apologized profusely, “Mr. Harper, I made a mistake, butwe
were just following ord-Ouch!”
Another scream echoed through the room as Landon’s kick landed on the second maid, causing herribs
to fracture.
Betty instantly screamed in horror. She thought people were fooling around when they labeled Landonas ” The Tyrant” and “Devil Incarnate”, but now, it appeared she had been naive all along.
The terrified servants fell into a hushed silence.
Lauren blinked and inched toward Landon with her unsteady legs. “Landon…”
He quickly held onto her waist and pulled her into a tight hug while patting her back soothingly. He
reassured her, “I’m here. Everything’s fine.”
Betty was green in envy and rolled her fists, digging her nails into her palms.
Lauren mumbled weakly, “It hurts..
“Where does it hurt?” Landon felt his chest tighten. She continued to murmur about the pain, seemingly
oblivious to his question.
