At that moment, Lauren's throbbing heart began to tremble. Blood drained from her face. She was like a terrified kitten stuck in a tree.

She pursed her lips. Out of reflex, she let go of Landon's hand.

Landon felt slightly short of breath. He grabbed her hand almost in an overbearing manner. He held her hand so tightly that he nearly cut off the blood circulation in her hand.

"She was with me. So what? Is that any of your business?" Landon shot a sharp look at Betty. He stared at her coldly while she tried to hide the glee on her face.

"There's something that I've never realized before. | didn't know you were such a conservative woman, Ms. Betty.

That's vastly different from your usual behavior." Betty's heart missed a beat. She turned pale. "You... What are you blabbering about?" "I wasn't blabbering. Just head out of Seaview Manor and ask anyone from the upper-class society in Solana City.

Just ask them about your reputation and how wild your conduct is. It will all becas clear as day." Landon curled the corner of his lip into a wide smirk.

"I have a number of friends who have messed around with you before. Have you forgotten about them? | can remind you if you needto. Who knows if Mr. Javier also knows of them." Javier inhaled sharply. His eyes were bloodshot. He glared at this useless daughter of his.

"Dad. That's not true. He's slandering me! He's being mean to me!" Cold sweat formed on Betty's forehead. She almost lost her footing and fell down the stairs.

Her life had always revolved around sex and pleasures. She partied hard and had a lot of one-night stands. She was famous for being a promiscuous woman in Solana CEJ Thanks to her own actions, her reputation was already down in the ditches.

She had been pretending to be a well-behaved and pure daughter in front of Javier. This was an image she worked hard to portray in front of him.

However, Landon was now exposing her on the spot. She panicked.

Javier decided to ignore Betty for now. He focused his gaze back on Lauren.

"Cover here, Lauren." His command was short and sweet, yet intimidating at the stime.

"Dad. " Lauren spoke in a soft and weak voice She couldn't bring herself to step forward.

The look in Javier's eyes dimmed. He repeated sternly, "Get over here." "Mr. Javier, I'm here today because | have something important to discuss with you," Landon explained in a solemn tone. He had a fiery look in his eyes.

"We can talk about it right here." Javier looked down at him. He didn't even have the patience to invite him to take a seat. "But you'd better keep it short. Otherwise, you're going to delay our dinner time." He had ceased his arrogance and instead adopted an attitude of contempt toward him.

Betty hid behind Javier and sniggered. She felt like Landon had just been served with his payback.

During the Jesseltons' party previously, Landon wanted to avenge Alyssa. In order to do so, he challenged Javier in public. He drew the line with the entire Beckett Group. This incident beca trending topic in the social circles in Solana City.

Men hated being humiliated.

Landon was the one who embarrassed Javier in the first place. He was now being treated like a doormat. It served him right.

"Mr. Javier, I'm here today to formally ask for Lauren's hand in marriage."
