Sophia leisurely filed her red nails on the couch as she made the remark.

Arnid Betty’s outburst, she somehow felt that Sophia had been acting funny.

Usually, Sophia would have jumped in and defended Betty when the latter was humiliated

at home. After all, Betty was Sophia’s favorite daughter. Besides, Sophia would not

tolerate anyone stepping all over her

at the Becketts’ residence.

However, Sophia’s indifference was worrying. Betty wondered why Sophia had never

intervened,

especially when Sophia had clearly heard the commotion downstairs.

Sophia nagged at her, “Betty, I do not wish to see this happening again at home.

Remember, Lauren is my daughter too. How could you hit her as her elder sister? If your

dad and grandpa hear about this, they’ll

fault me for raising you poorly.

“You’re 25 this year, but why do you carry yourself like a manic depressive? You keep

saying Lauren is

abnormal, but you’re not better than her!”

Betty rushed up to Sophia, glowering as she asked, “Mom, I have a question. Did you

witness Mr. Harper

and I fighting on the first floor?”

Sophia arched her brow. “Yeah. Why?”

“So, you watched the entire time without stepping in to help me?” Betty snapped in anger.

“I can

understand you not helping me, but why did you let Landon take Lauren away?”

can’t

Sophia retorted with a smirk, “Why I?”

Betty was stunned by her mother’s nonchalance and stammered, “Mom… You…”

“Even I have given up on Landon Harper. Haven’t you? Tsk tsk, I wonder how a smart

woman like me

would give birth to a lovesick daughter,” remarked Sophia, shaking her head in disdain.

She added, “At this point, I can’t place my hopes on you anymore. It’s clear that you two

won’t work out.

Since Landon is interested in Lauren, I have no choice but to approve of their relationship.

“In the end, Lauren is still my daughter. I’m happy that Landon accepted and cared for her

despite her disability, so I have no reason to object to their relationship. If they end up

getting married, you should feel proud as well, shouldn’t you?”

Something inside Betty shapped. She felt her vision blur. Did Sophia just say she’d

approve of their relationship?

Inwardly, Betty questioned whether she had been reduced to a mere pawn and if she had

turned into the

butt of a joke.

Trembling violently, Betty yelled hysterically at Sophia, “Lauren will never be with Landon!

I won’t allow it.

Never!”

It was the first time she had become so furious with Sophia, whom she had always held in

high regard.

A gleam appeared in Sophia’s eyes as she grabbed the wine glass on the table and

splashed its contents in Betty’s face. The red wine spilled all over Betty, turning her into a

mess.

Bewildered by Sophia’s action, Betty stared blankly at her mother as red wine streamed

down her face

and dripped onto the floor.

Sophia scowled and tossed the wine glass onto the floor, shattering it. She seethed, “Who

gave you the right to raise your voice at your mother? Where are your manners? If you’re

unhappy with the situation,

then win Landon’s heart.

“But as a veteran, I’m afraid I have to tell you that you’re delusional. Landon Harper will

never choose you, not even if every other woman were out of the picture!”

With that, Sophia stormed off. Her final words crushed whatever was left of Betty’s ego

and conscience.

Betty’s eyes bulged as she slowly crouched down to pick up the glass shards, clutching

them so tightly that they cut into her hands like she wished to strangle Lauren.

She laughed. “Not even if every other woman were out of the picture? Well, they will be,

and Landon will

be mine!”
