Sophia reveled in satisfaction. Javier had better whip Jasper with all his might. Even if Jasper survived
the whipping, they’d have at least released the pent-up anger and humiliation.
All the servants at Seaview Manor were summoned to the first-floor main hall and assembled in a few
rows.
Betty couldn’t contain her delight upon hearing about Jasper’s whipping. She sought out Lauren, who
had nearly slipped her mind. “Hey, you idiot!”
Betty kicked the door open. Lauren, who was sketching, dropped her pencil onto the floor at the
sudden Intrusion. “W-What’s going on, Betty?”
“It’s time to witness the spectacle downstairs! Jasper is about to get whipped! Hahaha!” Betty cackled
like a maniac.
Lauren felt her heart skip a beat. “Jasper? But why?”
“It’s all because that insolent little shit insulted Dad to his face!” Betty replied with a malicious grin.
Hmph! Does Jasper truly believe he’s untouchable just because he’s thepany’s president? He
wouldn’t have gotten the position if it weren’t for Justin’s health issues!

“Dad would have shipped him off to some obscurepany branch in the world if he hadn’t pitied
Jasper for his mom’s untimely death! Jasper’s really taking things for granted.”
Betty might have called Lauren an idiot, but Lauren was far from one. She picked up Betty’s disdain for
Jasper from the remarks.
Feeling frustrated, she mustered all her courage and retorted, “Jasper isn’t that kind of person. You
must
have joined hands with Mom to bully him.”
“You fucking idiot! What did you just say?” Betty yelled and charged at her. She closed her eyes in fear
and reflexively shielded her head.
“M-Ms. Betty,” a maid called out to Betty just in time with an urgent tone. “M-Mr. Javier wants you and
Ms. Lauren on the first floor right now.”
Hearing that, Betty dropped her arms resentfully. “Got it!” Then, she stormed out of the room.
The maid hurried up to Lauren and felt bad to see Lauren turning pale. She asked, “Ms. Lauren, are
you
okay?”
