“You’ve hurt Nina. Apologize to her now!” Lauren sprang up from the ground, her delicate shoulders


    trembling with anger as she fixed a piercing gaze on her sister. This was one of Lauren’s rare


    outbursts.


    “Apologize to her? Hahaha! You’re delusional!” Bettyughed, but she was interrupted by Lauren’s next


    move. Lauren snarled and charged at her like an angry bull at lightning speed.


    Before anyone could react, she had knocked Betty onto the ground. Bettynded on her back like an


    upturned turtle, narrowly avoiding an embarrassing sh of her skirt.


    The servants around them snorted and let out stifledughs.


    “Lauren Beckett!” Betty seethed with anger as if she might spontaneouslybust. She sprang to her


    feet, feeling an urge to tear Lauren into pieces.


    “Come up here! Hold her down right now!” Bettymanded. The two stocky maids, who were loyal to


    Sophia and Betty, rushed over right away and held Lauren’s arms.


    Lauren fought back with all her might, her eyes wide with rage. “Let go of me!” However, she was easily


    lifted off her floor, given her petite frame and slender limbs.


    “You little bitch! Not even God can save you now!” Betty rolled up her sleeves and gave Lauren a hard


    p


    across the face.


    Lauren saw stars and groaned in pain. Her thin nightdress clung to her skin, soaked in sweat.


    Betty derived pleasure from Lauren’s suffering. She could finally release her pent-up frustration on her


    personal punching bag.

    She remarked, “You won’t look good with the blush on just one cheek. Let me even it out for you.”


    Betty then proceeded to p Lauren’s right cheek.


    A cold male voice suddenly cut through the tension. “Touch her one more time, and I’ll make you pay!”


    The servants looked at the door and inhaled collectively. Meanwhile, Betty nearly jumped out of her


    skin from the familiar voice. She had wanted to lower her hand, but it was toote.


    The tall and imposing figure marched through the entrance with hostility.


    “L-Landon Betty mumbled, guiltily concealing her hand. The scowl vanished from her face, reced by


    a demure expression.


    Lauren opened her teary eyes and noticed Landon approaching her. She immediately went limp as a


    wave


    “L-Landon… Lauren’s feeble moans only fueled Landon’s anger. He breathed heavily, his heart aching


    with pain.
