Chapter 409

After settling Lauren’s matter, Alyssa returned to the villa with Sean. She replayed the scene where

Jasper dried her hair, and she felt her throat drying.

He had said to her, “Sorry. This is my first time drying someone’s hair. I’m inexperienced…”

That was bullshit. He had dated Liana for years. Even if they didn’t score a home run, they must have

done everything possible with each other. What was the point of acting all innocent?

To her, Jasper and Landon seemed equally terrible. They were a bad influence on each other.

Back home, Alyssa kicked off her heels and sat on the couch glumly instead of retiring to her bedroom.

Sean handed her a glass of hot milk with concern. He advised, “It’s way past midnight. Take some rest

after you’ve had the milk.”

“How did Lauren and Landon run into each other? She has always been kept at home under the tight

supervision of her family. So, what happened?” Alyssa wondered aloud.

Alyssa did not feel sleepy at all as she couldn’t shake off her worries for that poor girl.

“I asked Landon about it. He had no idea why Lauren showed up at his nightclub. He did mention that

she was searching high and low for something. Had he not met her, things might have taken a

dangerous turn.

She frowned quizzically. “What was she looking for?”

“A teddy bear you had given her.”

Alyssa felt her breath catch as she clenched her fingers. She questioned, “Did someone throw away

the

bear I gave Lauren in ACE?”

“I questioned Landon about any unusual occurrences at ACE that night. He said there were none, but

did bring up his sister, Zoe, Sean responded. He was great at interrogation as a former attorney.

“Got it.” Her brows furrowed. Despite not having witnessed the incident, she had a rough idea of what

had

happened.

She remarked, “Betty is still the same bitch she is. The audacity to bully Lauren. She’ll get roughed up,

beaten down, and her ass kicked!”

Sean was dumbfounded by her speed of talking.

She vowed, “I will make her pay for what she did to Lauren!”

After being kicked home by Jasper, Landon arrived at the Harper Residence at midnight.

He closed his eyes in his bed. His mind was filled with the memories of the kiss with Lauren. Her lips

were delicious, soft, and tantalizing.

Suddenly, he felt a heat rising in him, and his manhood hardened. He cursed, “Fuck! I’m such an

animal!”

He shut his eyes again in an attempt to sleep, but the erection remained. Feeling awful, he subjected

himself to 20 minutes of a cold shower to push down the urge.

Finally, he fell asleep when dawn was about to break.

He woke up in the afternoon. When he emerged from his room in a fresh outfit, he was greeted by

Zoe’s

furious face. She snapped, “Landon, you have gone too far!”

“Why? Is it because I told you not to party at ACE and stay away from Betty?” Landon was about to

He clicked his tongue and remarked, “Zoe, you seem more unreasonable with each passing day. How

could you not tell the right from the wrong?”

“Don’t touch me after you laid your hands on Lauren! It’s revolting!” She slapped his hand away and

unintentionally voiced her resentment toward Lauren,

“Zoe, what did you just say?” His eyes wavered and filled with disbelief.

Zoe had been seething ever since the previous night when she was publicly dragged out in front of

everyone.

Knowing that Landon had a soft spot for her, she decided to express her dissatisfaction, “Yeah, I hate

Lauren! You’re my brother! I don’t want to share your affection with her!”

“What are you talking about?” Landon frowned.

“You turned the club upside down just to find her teddy bear! An old, dirty toy!”

Zoe lost control of her emotions as she yelled hysterically and stomped her feet. The passing servants

noticed her outburst and paused to take a second look.

She continued, “I’m your sister! When have you ever treated me the same way you treated her? You

only

throw money at me!

“But now, you’re so good to that idiot! Where’s your conscience? I’m not even treated the same way as
