At the mention of it, Cornelius’ look at Betty underwent a change, apanied by a disapproving click


    of


    his tongue.


    Fortunately, Landon had good judgment and didn’t take a liking to this impudent woman before him.


    Otherwise, it would have been a misfortune for the family.


    “You…” Betty was infuriated, staring wide-eyed.


    Zoe sneered. “Even if you’re upset, there’s nothing you can do. After all, Landon just doesn’t fancy


    you.”


    Betty covered her chest andughed, a mix of anger in her amusement. “It goes both ways, doesn’t it?


    Jasper doesn’t fancy you either.”


    “You…” Zoe was the one burning with anger this time.


    “When I came back, I saw Alyssa’s limited edition Bugatti parked at the gate. It seems she’s already


    here.”


    With hands on her hips, Betty yawned. “I see that Jasper isn’t here. Did he go with Alyssa, leaving you


    stranded here again?”


    “Betty Beckett!” Zoe’s eyes turned red, wishing she could pounce on Betty and rip her mouth apart.


    “Oh, Zoe, Jasper is always like that. You’ll get used to it when you marry him.”


    The more Betty said, the more excited she became. “You see, when he married Alyssa, he had his eye


    on


    Liana. Even if he marries you, he won’t let go of Alyssa.


    “Men are like that. They have a wife at home but still yearn for someone else. Alyssa spent three years


    adjusting little by little. Since you like Jasper so much, you should adapt faster than her, right?”


    Everyone was so shocked that their eyeballs almost popped out.


    This was no longer just a simple argument but outright verbal sparring!


    If it weren’t for the presence of the elders from both families, Zoe would have already engaged in a


    brawl


    with Betty.


    “Betty! Did you have too much to drink? What nonsense are you talking about?”


    Sophia was agitated. With a reddened face, she roared, “Hurry up and take Ms. Betty away!”


    “Jasper! Let go! Let go of me!”

    In Zoe’s world, there could only be one sun-herself. How could she tolerate someone shining brighter


    than her and overshadowing her?


    “Dad, Mom, i’m back.” Betty rushed over, panting.


    Since she was meeting people, she deliberately changed into a decent new outfit. But she had a sleepy


    look, with dark circles under her eyes.


    Her body reeked of alcohol, and her pale face had overly red lips, making her look like a ghost who had


    just eaten a child.


    Seeing her daughter in such a state, Sophia felt so embarrassed that she wanted to flush Betty down


    the


    toilet. What a shame!


    “Betty, where did you go? Why do you reek of alcohol?” Javier frowned, scrutinizing her.


    “Oh… I had a small gathering with friends… Hup!” Betty couldn’t hold back and let out a loud hup.


    “Someone, help Ms. Betty upstairs to rest!” Sophia quickly gave the order.

    “Oh my! Zoe!”


    Being intoxicated, Betty ran directly to Zoe, looking at her with a smiling face. “Congrattions! You’re


    about to marry Jasper and be my sister-inw!


    “After all the scheming, driving away Liana, and getting rid of Alyssa, you’re finally marrying him.


    Hahaha!”


    Cornelius’s frown tightened.


    Meanwhile, Penelope’s and Zoe’s faces turned pale and stiff.


    “Betty, what do you mean by that? Are you mocking me, or are you ying drunk?”


    Zoe was already angry. After being provoked by Betty, she blurted out, “I know what you’re thinking.


    You


    want to marry Landon. You asked me to help match you two, but I didn’t. So you resent me.”
