Jasper squeezed Alyssa's hand, his gaze holding a somber weight. "There's something | need to discuss with you." In the room, Lauren clung tightly to Angelina, her warm tears soaking Angelina's black suit.

"Look, Madam Lauren. I'm right here with you. I'm completely fine," Angelina reassured her, returning the embrace. Though her voice was steady, tears welled in her eyes. "Those people only wanted to scare you. You're alright now. It's all over...

"Such a thing won't happen again. Nothing but happiness awaits you and Mr. Landon." "Landon and I. do we even have a future?" Lauren's voice was barely a whisper.

Angelina's chest clenched at that question. She promptly answered, "Don't think like that, Madam Lauren. What happened wasn't as big a deal as it seems. Mr. Landon, Mr. Jasper, and Ms. Alyssa will handle everything. Things will return to normal!" "Angie. I'm not stupid. | know why this happened. It's because of the Harpers. They don't want us together." Lauren's lashes fluttered with tears.

It was a heartbreaking sight.

"This time, they were merely trying to scare you—only hurting your left leg and kidnapping you. But next time, they might take your life. The Harpers won't accept me, and if Landon insists on being with me, it will only endanger him." "No, Madam Lauren! Don't think that way!" Angelina panicked, shaking her head frantically. Tears welled up in her reddened eyes. "You're Mr. Landon's reason for living! He wouldn't survive without you.

Fighting for power and position would mean nothing to him without you by his side." "But I'll only be a burden," Lauren insisted, her voice il x | with despair. "He'll have to use all his energy to take care of me. He's already stretched thin." At that moment, Lauren appeared different from her usual childlike and naive self. Instead, she seemed clear- headed and rational, as if this incident had forced her to mature.

"I'm not like Alyssa, who can be Jasper's partner in every way," Lauren said. "I can't offer Landon that kind of support. I'll.only-be a burden.

"And I'll also cause you to face even greater dangers, Angie. You're not just a subordinate or a bodyguard to me.

You're like a sister. You're incredibly important to me.

"I've always felt this way. | don't deserve his love. Landon is more suited to be with someone better." "Madam Lauren, please don't give up on Mr. Landon. | beg of you..." Angelina pleaded, her voice trembling with anxiety, on the verge of tears.

Perhaps Lauren had long understood the Harper family's stance. She might have been aware of how difficult it was for Landon to protect her from all the dangers. Perhaps the crisis that day was the final straw for her.

"I know all that Landon has done for me. If we continue like this, there will ca day when he'll lose control," Lauren said, her eyes swollen.

She slowly closed her eyes as she recalled the tat Newton's birthday party—her first talone with Landon; it was in the garden, under the moonlit sky. His eyes had twinkled like stars then, filled with joy. Now, a veil of sadness seemed to cloud those once-bright eyes.

A bittersweet smile touched her lips as she relived the memory. Tears welled up again. "I want Landon to be himself again. | want him to move forward bravely, without any worries."
