“Anything else?”
Sophia shot her a disdainful and confused look. “I do not understand why you’re hell-bent on ruining your sister’s marriage. Is it to get back at Landon because he’s not into you? Even if you ruined their relationship, he will not take an interest in you. Don’t ever dream of marrying him.”
“Yeah, you hit the nail on the head. All I wanted was revenge.” Betty clutched the envelope tightly as a scowl crept onto her face. “Isn’t that what everyone strives for? To not be looked down upon? Am I wrong in doing so?”
In her eyes, Lauren and Landon were in the wrong.
Back in her room, Betty immediately took out the item in the envelope. A glint appeared in her eyes, and she cackled while staring at the document, which carried the diagnosis of Lauren’s autism.
The document was once regarded as the top secret of the Walsh. family, who wanted to keep Lauren’s disability a secret from the public to protect their image.
If the Harpers were to learn about the diagnosis, Lauren would never be able to marry Landon. After all, Landon was Cornelius’ only grandson and the future heir. It was unlikely that Cornelius would allow Landon to marry a disabled woman.
Hands trembling, she made a call to Zoe. Zoe picked up and, sounding like she was applying a facial mask, drawled, “What’s wrong. again?”
Betty grinned and said, “Are you free tomorrow? Let’s meet up. I have something to show you. It will crush Lauren’s hope of marrying Landon.”
Zoe taunted her, “Gosh, you’re working hard to wreck your sister’s happiness, aren’t you? It’s true that I hate Lauren, but I don’t want you to marry Landon either. Look at you, scheming against your birth sister. What if you try to get me in trouble one day when you’re angry at me? That’s pretty scary.”
“You’re no better than me, and I’d fear for my life if you were to be my sister-in-law. Anyway, I’ll take that as a compliment,” Betty snapped and rolled her eyes.
“Putting aside Lauren and Landon’s marriage, let me tell you this-I’ll be your sister-in-law pretty soon.” Zoe hummed a tune, seemingly in a good mood. “Get ready to buy that wedding gift.”
“Are you really going to marry Jeremy? Is he willing to marry you?” Betty expressed her doubt.
“You’ll be at the horse racing event, won’t you?” Zoe chuckled mysteriously. “You’ll know when you’re there.”
Finally, it was the day of the annual horse racing event. Every year, the members of esteemed families from across the nation would congregate at the event, which would be live-streamed on national TV stations. Even foreign royalty would be in attendance, further adding to the merriment.
Each year, a selected distinguished family would host the event, and it was the Schmidt family’s turn this year.
The venue was set to be Eastbrooke Racecourse, built just half a year ago. Victor couldn’t contain his excitement at the prospect of the racecourse holding its inaugural large-scale event even before its public opening a good omen and brilliant marketing for the racecourse.
On the other hand, Newton Walsh had skipped events like these due to his old age. Javier was attending with Sophia this year. Meanwhile, Jeremy would arrive at the event separately.
When it was time to leave, Betty hurriedly strutted out in her high heels while clad in a sexy bodycon pink dress. Her inappropriate and attention-grabbing attire prompted a glare from Javier. He shook his head, commenting, “The racecourse is an open-air venue. That mini skirt will be a problem for you with the wind.”
With that, he entered the car without waiting for Sophia and Betty. Betty seethed but concealed her anger. After all, the chance to attend the event was hard to come by, and she wouldn’t want to upset Javier further.
Before Sophia joined Javier in the car, Betty pulled her aside and whispered, “Mom, did you … put that thing on?”
“Yeah.” Sophia appeared flustered. It took her ages to bite the bullet.
sanitary pad, but she was consumed by shame.
As Javier Walsh’s wife, she couldn’t believe that she had to use an adult diaper at her age. It was such an embarrassing matter.
“Mom, did you bring more? Your leakage is getting serious. One won’t be enough,” Betty voiced her concern.
“And how am I supposed to bring a few more with me? How am I going to carry them around? It’s easy for you to say!” Sophia hissed, her cheeks flushed. “The ladies are only bringing a clutch. I’ll become a joke if I show up with a backpack. One is enough. Worse comes to worse, I’ll just refrain from drinking water. Besides, I won’t need to wear this stupid thing anymore after today.”
After Sophia snapped at Betty, she entered the car. Betty took another car while replaying Sophia’s words in her mind. What did Sophia mean about not having to wear the diaper anymore after today?
Suddenly, things clicked in her mind.
By 10:00 am, Eastbrooke Racecourse was teeming wit The crowd was double the amount of last year’s, which ex host’s expectations.
The best VIP seats on the second floor were reserved for mem the four distinguished families-the Walsh’s, the Schmidts, the Harpers, and the Taylors.
The young ladies of esteemed families glanced at the VIP seats enviously through their binoculars. Some had attempted to sneak into that area, but the security was tight.

“Betty Walsh and Zoe Harper lucked out in the birth lottery. Their looks and class don’t match up to Jameson Schmidt and Jeremy Walsh.”
“I agree. Among all the ladies, I only have respect for Alyssa Taylor.”
“That’s true. Not only does Alyssa Taylor hail from a distinguished. family, but she’s also the CEO of a hotel and a globally renowned jewelry designer. What else can Betty Walsh and Zoe Harper do besides showing off?”
“They’re nothing without their families. They cannot hold a candle to Alyssa Taylor at all!”
One married lady suddenly interjected sarcastically, “What’s the point of having multiple careers? At the end of the day, Alyssa Taylor is nothing more than a divorcee who’s dumped by Jeremy Walsh.”
Two young ladies, who had been chatting with each other, rolled their eyes at the married woman. “Ms. Alyssa is the only daughter of Winston Taylor with his first wife. She’s the real princess of the Taylor family. I guess you’re just envious of her.”
“What type of outdated mentality was that? A divorced woman is not worthless. I’d even say that marriage is just a burden for rich and powerful women.”
“Absolutely! By the way, didn’t you watch the interview last time?
Jeremy Walsh admitted that he had cheated on Alyssa Taylor. So why would she keep a cheater around? She must have dumped him over the affair.”
Upset, the married woman held her tongue and seethed in silence without another word.
After going through ups and downs, Alyssa had amassed a growing group of fans in Solana City. It did not come as a surprise, given her talents, kindness, and beauty.
As the host, the Schmidts were the first to enter the venue, followed by the Walsh’s.
It had been a while since Javier and Sophia appeared in public,
Trailing behind her parents, Betty looked arrogant and energized. Every time there were cameras around, she’d make a lot of expressions as though she was a celebrity on the red carpet.
Alas, none of the cameras were focused on her. Instead, the reporters focused more on Javier and Sophia. Despite Betty’s best efforts, she did not come anywhere close to Sophia’s infamy. Betty, neither known for good nor bad deeds, failed to capture the media’s attention.
“What? Is Jeremy Walsh absent? I’ve been waiting all this while for nothing!” A female reporter, clearly a fan of Jeremy, grumbled.
“He couldn’t possibly skip the event. Let’s wait for a bit more.”
“The four distinguished families will be at the event. Wow, isn’t it going to be a battlefield?” Another excited reporter adjusted his camera position, preparing to capture every explosive interaction. That means Alyssa Taylor and Zoe Harper will both be here. just from
“What will Jeremy Walsh do when his ex-wife and rumored lover confront each other? Damn, I have goosebumps all imagining it. So much second-hand embarrassment.”
“Didn’t Jeremy Walsh announce in front of the media tha Taylor’s man at that maid’s funeral? Wasn’t that already al confession?”
“Did you take his words seriously? Is he even that trustworthy?”
“Men are liars. He’s probably rebuilding his image after having an affair. How is he going to explain his meetup with Zoe Harper at t hotel late at night?
“If Alyssa Taylor makes the stupid decision to get back together with him after all that had happened, she’d lose my respect.”
After the Walsh’s made their entrance, the Harpers arrived at the arrival matched the high-profile fashion of the Harper Group.
The bodyguards opened the car doors. Preston emerged, followed by Penelope and Zoe.
“Dad, take your time.”
“Grandpa, I’ll give you a hand.”
Preston and Zoe supported Cornelius as they showed up in front of the media as a harmonious family.
Cornelius, who usually looked stern, appeared relaxed and cheerful. Stopping in his tracks, he scanned the surroundings and asked in shock, “Where’s Landon? Why isn’t he here yet?”
“Landon will never skip the event. Something’s held him back. I think. he’ll arrive a little later,” Penelope quickly defended her son.
“Did something or someone hold him back?” Preston joked.
“And who might that someone be?” Cornelius asked, his brows furrowing with discontent.
“Who else can she be? It’s Sophia Kirkman’s second daughter, Lauren Walsh,” Zoe grabbed the chance to tell on Landon.
She casually teased, “Landon hasn’t been home lately. He’s built a love nest with Ms. Lauren out there, where they spend most of their time. The last time Mom was sick, I was the one who got her to the hospital. I guess Landon’s put his family behind even before marrying Ms. Lauren.”
“Zoe, can you please stop?” Penelope mumbled, not because shel wanted to protect Lauren. She worried that Cornelius might be upset. at Landon.
Preston grinned, remarking, “Ms. Lauren must be a stunning beauty. Knowing Landon, he’s never been so serious with any woman. From the sounds of it, Ms. Lauren has won his heart.”
