Angelina's face was tight with anger. "We had the upper hand initially, but we never thought that Inigo

Montiye had called for backup! They were skilled in combat and ready to kill. It was a miracle that our

men came home alive."

Landon punched on the table, his knuckles cracking. Not only did they fail to capture Inigo Montiye, but

the clash nearly cost the lives of Landon's men. Landon's ego was badly bruised.

"Mm. Landon... What's wrong? Who made you upset?"

Frozen in shock, everyone turned to the stairs and found Lauren standing there. Wearing a crumpled

white camisole dress and hugging a bear that Alyssa bought for her, she groggily rubbed her eyes,

looking innocent.

While she was speaking, one of the straps slid off her shoulder, offering a glimpse of her fair

complexion. She was very close to exposing herself. Her neck and collarbone area were filled with

hickeys, evidence of the passionate night she had spent with Landon.

Xavier quickly shut his eyes in fear while Jasper shifted his gaze to Alyssa, sweat dotting his forehead.

Meanwhile, Landon felt his blood pressure rising as he screamed internally. Running over to his

careless fiancée, he pulled her into a hug. She buried her face in his shoulder. Peeking at him, she

purred, "Landon, please don't be upset. I don't like to see you upset."

"I'm not upset. I'm happy. Let's go. Back to the room!" Worried, he lifted Lauren and headed upstairs in

huge strides.

He whispered into her ear, "Remember, you should never expose your skin to anyone else except

when you're with me!"

After the couple left, an awkward silence hung in the air of the living room. Still reeling from the shock,

Xavier defended himself, "I-I saw nothing just now! Mr. Beckett, you know it too."

Angelina's face was drained of color upon witnessing the blunder. Too anxious to relay the updates to

Landon, she momentarily took her eyes off Lauren, leading to the situation.

"Don't worry, Angelina," Alyssa gently comforted her. "It must be tough on you to take care of Lauren

alone. You know she's just like a child most of the time, don't you? Making mistakes is part of being

human. If Landon lashes out at you, Jasper and I will have your back."

Jasper nodded in agreement.

"Thank you, Ms. Alyssa and Mr. Beckett. I'm fine, though. It's Mr. Harper that's having a tough time."

Angelina pressed her dry lips together. "He's the one who'll love and care for Madam forever. My

sacrifice is nothing compared to his."
