“Gosh, Angie, you nag me more than my mom! I hired you because you were quiet, but why are you

getting more talkative over the years?

Landon teased Angelina.

Angelina pressed her lips and took a step backward with an awkward expression. Over the years,

Landon had cycled through numerous partners, but she was the one constant presence at his side.

She had assumed various roles for Landon in the past-secretary, bodyguard, dance partner, and

confidant. She had even posed as his significant other to fend off persistent admirers when necessary.

Being by Landon’s side felt as natural as breathing to her. She was accustomed to being indispensable

to him, never having been with another man.

They weren’t lovers, but they knew each other better than lovers. Now that Landon had found his true

love, Angelina decided to stay out of his private life to avoid annoying him.

“Angie, I think the next few days might be more challenging for you.” After kissing Lauren, Landon

grimly reminded Angelina. “Please stay by Lauren’s side. From tonight, you will share a room with her.

Lock the doors and windows at night. Do not let down your guard.”

“Understood, Mr. Landon. I’ll do just that,” Angelina nodded with determination. “I’ll keep a vigilant eye

on Madam Lauren. I swear on my life she’ll be safe and sound when you return.”

Meanwhile, the Beckett Group employees were swamped by work as they tried their best to clean the

mess for Sophia.

Javier had issued the orders not because he wanted to save Sophia. He did it to salvage the reputation

of the Beckett Group, which the scandal had marred.

Since Jasper assumed the presidency, the Beckett Group underwent sweeping changes, rapidly

expanding its business in Solana City and across the continent of Andgalbia. This success drew the ire

of rivals who sought any opportunity to attack.

As the Beckett Group aimed for a partnership with the second wealthiest company in Mosgravia, any

PR scandal could jeopardize their réputation, leading to stock price plummeting and the potential

collapse of the partnership negotiation. Their adversaries were poised to seize such an opportunity.

“Javier Beckett, what excuse do you have? Until when are you going to defend your wife?”

Several top leaders stood in two rows outside Javier’s office,

sweating profusely and remaining silent.

The office was in disarray. Newton, who was in a wheelchair, flung all the items on the desk at Javier. A

pencil holder hit the corner of Javier’s forehead and formed a bump.

Despite the aggression, Javier stood there in silence and stared at the floor. Throwing things in a fit of

anger seemed to be a culture of the Beckett family.

“I was blinded by the red on the charts when the stock market opened this morning! You should also

check out how the media portrayed our family!”

Enraged, Newton pointed a finger at Javier and chastised him, “They said we were a family of devils

who would do anything for money! Because of your wife, our family’s reputation suffered!”

Javier clenched his jaw and his fists as he was consumed by rage. He had witnessed everything

Newton mentioned and felt just as infuriated.

Many times, he warned Sophia to keep a low profile, but she did not seem to listen at all. She acted as

she pleased and caused significant trouble for the family. His indulgence over the years was the root of

her brazen attitude.

Despite feeling guilty, Javier could not bring himself to admit his mistake in front of Newton. He refused

to acknowledge that he made a wrong decision in the past.

Taking a deep breath, he gritted his teeth and explained, “Sophia has been reflecting on her actions at

home. I grounded her in Seaview Manor. She can’t leave without my permission.

“Dad, I believe she attended the funeral for our family’s sake. Whether she truly intended to pay her

respects to the maid was another matter altogether, but I assume she showed up to protect the Beckett

Group’s reputation. Things would have gone smoothly had it not been for Alyssa’s interruption.”
