Chapter 366
“Autism?” Landon’s heart ached at that thought. No wonder Lauren behaved so strangely.
Though she was 22 years old, she still had the behavior of a young, naive child.
No wonder Sophia never let her out of the house.
“Did you ask her what she thought about those things you did for her? Whether she
wanted you to do them or not? Did you ever step in her shoes and think for a moment?
“No, because you’re not capable of that.” Jasper’s breathing was intermingled with a dull
pain in his chest. “All she ever wanted was a peaceful, quiet life. Don’t go ruining that for
her now. You’ll only make things
worse.”
Landon was silent for a moment. He asked hoarsely, “Can she be cured?”
“Do you think she’d still be like this today if she could?”
Landon thought about how frightened Lauren was last night, his heart pounding painfully

ribcage.
Just then, Jasper’s phone rang. He crinkled his nose but still answered. “Dad.”
“Come back to the office right now. We need to talk.
The call was then hung up.
Jasper stared darkly at his phone, a sneer appearing on his lips.
Were they truly father and son? Sometimes, he wished this relationship between them
didn’t exist. At least that way, his reasons for hating this man would be justified.
The president’s secretary opened the door for Jasper when he knocked, nodding
courteously. Jasper was
shocked to see someone else in the room-Betty.
He narrowed his eyes just the slightest. Something was up.
“Jasper,” Betty called out in a feigned affectionate tone, as if they were intimately
acquainted.
Jasper nodded flatly, never bothering to be too courteous to this sister of his.
Javier began, “I’ve heard all about what happened last night with Ada Kingsley and the
ambush at the
hotel from Betty, Jasper. I’ve also seen the news online.”

Javier clasped his hands together, his eyes cold as they turned to his son. “What is your
plan now that the
public has lost their faith in the hotel?”
“I’ve had the PR and Networking Department rushing to clear things up since last night. All
news about
this should cease to exist by tonight.”
Betty spoke up, “Even so, the damage is done. You cannot stop gossip from taking root

now. It’s honestly pretty embarrassing to the company..
Javier gritted his teeth upon hearing this. “No matter what unfolds, this is the nature of
business. There
will always be a mix of favorable and unfavorable news circulating, and some we cannot
control.
“As long as we emerge victorious in these challenges, the negative reports will eventually
fade away. It’s
imperative to maintain a long-term perspective on these battlegrounds, or else we risk
losing in the grand
scheme of things.”
Knowing Javier was taking a jab at her, Betty gritted her teeth angrily.
Suddenly, the secretary knocked and entered the office. “Sir, there’s something you need
to see!”
He quickly showed Javier something on his phone. It made all the rage in his being rush up
to his head.
He roared, “Switch on the news channel! Now!”
