Chapter 1103
Meanwhile, Zoe kept her head low in anger. She dared not utter a word after what had happened.
Betty learned about the incident just now and secretly laughed and relished in Zoe’s rare display of
dejection.
Preston laughed merrily and replied, “Dad, don’t mention it. Of course, I’d help my niece. I can’t be
helping the outsiders, can I?”
His remark reminded Cornelius of Landon’s recent behavior.
Right then, Landon showed up and announced, “Grandpa, Mom, we’re here.”
Everyone turned to look at him. He strode over, fingers interlacing with Lauren, looking as sweet as
newlyweds.
Landon cast a loving gaze at the shy Lauren, to the envy of the onlookers. Nevertheless, there was
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttension in the air. Cornelius and Penelope treated the couple with an icy demeanor.
“Oh gosh, is Mr. Landon with Ms. Lauren now?” Daisy, who was oblivious to the complex dynamics,
broke the ice. “Wow, you make a lovely couple! Congratulations in advance to both of you, as well as
your parents!”
Javier and Sophia seemed unbothered by the remark, but Penelope’s smile froze. Betty stared glumly
at Lauren, only to be stunned by
Lauren’s outfit.
Lauren was clad in a light yellow chiffon cocktail dress adorned with black ribbon, the work of renowned
designer Rose Emerson. Betty burned in jealousy when she set sight on Lauren’s dazzling dress,
especially because it was tough to get one’s hands on Rose
Prior to this, Betty had attempted to make appointments a few times, only to be turned down. Never
had she expected her younger sibling to have the honor of wearing Rose’s design before herself. Betty
worried that the others might look down on her and think that she was beneath Lauren despite being
born into the same family.
Betty did not have to guess. She knew Landon had bought the dress for Lauren. The thought added to
her resentment. She clutched at her dress so tightly that she nearly ruined it.
“If I remember correctly, you’re friends with Jasper, aren’t you, Landon? Your friendship resembles
mine with Winston. It’s great news that you’re in love with Lauren and getting hitched,” remarked Victor
with a smile.
He turned to Cornelius and remarked, “Congratulations, Mr. Cornelius. When’s the wedding?”
Cornelius smirked without answering, a clear indication of his
disapproval of Lauren, which he did not bother to conceal in front of
Javier.
The situation grew awkward. Cornelius’ attitude did not sit well with Javier and Sophia. Despite her

“Mr. Victor, the wedding is near. When the time comes, I will send your the invitation in person. Do
grace my big day with your presence,” said Landon as he held Lauren’s hand with a bright smile. It was
as if they were getting married tomorrow.
All the while, Lauren stared at her feet shyly and stood close to her lover. The love between them was
firm enough to withstand harsh disapproval.
“Landon, marriage is not child’s play. It is a serious matter that needs.
her emotions.
Still, she couldn’t bring herself to openly express her disapproval like Preston had encouraged her to
do. Instead, she opined, “You haven’t known Ms. Lauren for that long. Don’t you think it’s unwise to talk
about marriage at this stage?”
“That’s right, Landon. You’re notorious for dating around before you settled down with Ms. Lauren. You
pampered your exes, giving them
whatever they wanted.”
