She snickered in disdain and taunted, “Your son is infatuated with a woman who isn’t his, and his father is no different. It seems both Walsh men are enchanted by the Taylor women.”
Unable to control his anger, Javier slapped her in the face. Sophia felt her eardrum was about to rupture again. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she stared at him hatefully.
Realizing what he had done, he stood there in shock and curled his numb fingers. For the first time in his life, he had physically assaulted a woman. He had been raised to treat women with utmost respect, yet he couldn’t restrain himself due to Sophia’s audacious behavior. 1
“How could you hit me?” Crying hysterically, she leaped from the bed and ran barefoot toward the balcony, threatening to off herself. “What’s the point of living? I should just die right now!”
Wide-eyed, Javier yelled, “Somebody, help!”
The secretary and the bodyguards rushed in from outside and fearfully pinned down Sophia like she was a suspect.
Sophia cried her lungs out. She looked like a total mess with her tear-stained face.
With a heavy heart, Javier instructed, “Arrange for two maids to take turns looking after Madam. The rest of you guard her door 24/7. You’ll be held accountable if anything happens to her.”
“Yes, Mr. Javier!” his staff replied.
After that, Javier shook his head glumly and left with heavy footsteps without taking another look at Sophia.
Sophia’s mouth hung open. Her legs trembled as her body slowly slumped to the floor.
There was no use crying and throwing a tantrum. Now, even when she threatened to take her own life,
Javier was unwilling to stay by her side and pay her any attention.
She wondered if Javier no longer loved her, questioning whether she was merely a replacement for someone else and if he had never truly loved her.
Then, she let out a series of maniacal cackles that scared the wits out of the poor bodyguard. He stammered, “M-Madam, are y-you alright?”
“Great. I guess we are on the same page. You’ve never loved me, and I’ve never loved you. But Javier, I am the winner at the end because I am the one who forced the love of your life to death!”
“Ouch. It hurts like hell…” Betty groaned.
She woke up drowsily and found herself in a humid and filthy environment. When she squinted, she realized she was in an abandoned garage, where the moldy smell perforated the air. Two rats squeaked as they ran along the wall.
After the rats ran away, the squeaking didn’t cease as though they were mocking her.
“I-Is there someone here? Help! Save me!” Amid her panicked screams, the door creaked open.
After she adjusted to the blinding light, she found a voluptuous figure approaching her. Any man would be tempted by the sexual appeal of that mysterious woman.
Betty immediately recognized Angelina. She gasped, “I-It’s you! You’re the woman who follows Landon around!”
“Good evening, Ms. Betty. You were unconscious for a very long time. It was a long wait for me,” Angelina spoke while she narrowed her eyes. She pulled on her black leather gloves with an amused look.
“Did you abduct me and dump me over here? How dare you do this to a Walsh? You’re asking for trouble! Betty seethed, but she was fearful. “What the heck is this place? Let me out, or I’ll make you suffer! Even
Angelina chuckled louder and tilted her head, entertained by Betty’s crazy behavior.
Betty realized that she couldn’t talk sense into Angelina. So, she got up from the ground and dashed toward the door while screaming, “Somebody help me! Argh-“
She felt dizzy as a stabbing pain spread across her abdomen. Angelina had kicked her in the stomach. Flung into the air and falling hard onto the ground, Betty groaned loudly from the pain that spread across her body.
“How dare you hit me? I’m Betty Walsh. You…” Betty curled into a ball from the pain and drenched in sweat. She rolled around like a burrito and moaned, but her voice gradually faded.
She was surprised by Angelina’s strength, which didn’t seem typical for a woman,
Angelina scoffed. “So what? I can hit you as long as you’re not Ms. Lauren.”
She chuckled and stretched her neck. Then, she cast an icy glare at Betty. “Your life, to me, is as worthless as those rats in the corner.”
Betty was incensed and humiliated upon hearing that. She got up from the floor with gritted teeth and resolved to fight Angelina with every ounce of her energy.
However, before she could even stand, Angelina kicked her again with greater force.
Yelping, Betty splatted on the ground, feeling excruciating pain throughout her body. Tears, snot, and dust. covered her face, turning her into a mess.
Angelina, devoid of remorse for hitting a woman, was about to deliver a second kick when Landon’s voice came through the earpiece, “That’s enough, Angie. You’re too hard on her. If you kick her once more, I bet you’ll cripple her.”
Angelina drew back her leg and replied, “Yes.”
Betty’s soul almost departed her body from the pain. She vaguely heard the ruthless Angelina talking to someone through the earpiece. However, she couldn’t make out the conversation.
Angelina mused, “Do you plan to leave her alone?”
“You don’t have to go hard on her. Just give her a few slaps to teach her a lesson,” Landon instructed nonchalantly.
Simultaneously, in his black Rolls-Royce, Landon watched the warehouse scene unfold on a screen. The pitiful sight of Betty brought him cathartic satisfaction and amusement.
No. That wasn’t enough. The thought of what Betty had done to Lauren enraged him. How he wished he could crush Betty and avenge Lauren for all the past bullying.
Still, he had to show some respect to Betty, as she was a Walsh. Before he got into power at the Harper Group, he wouldn’t want to jeopardize his position by creating trouble.
He wasn’t worried about any trouble per se. He was only worried about Lauren’s safety. He feared that he
At the thought of his promise to wed Lauren and the challenges ahead of them, he felt a burden on his chest. He let out a heavy sigh, and his warm breath tickled Lauren’s ear while she slept in his arms.
She moaned softly and opened her eyes drowsily, her gentle and adorable doe eyes meeting his.
“Did I wake you up, hmm?” he wondered aloud.
He stared down at her and brushed his lips against her reddened ears. He loved her so much. Each hug or kiss made him crave more of her.
“Mmm… No. I just happened to wake up,” Lauren muttered.
Though a late bloomer, after experiencing intimacy with Landon, she seemed to have matured from a young girl into a woman, as if her soul and body had awakened.
She heard his deep breathing and felt his kisses traveling southward, with a desire to explore further.

Blushing profusely, Betty understood that Landon was aroused, so she sneaked into Landon’s arms.
“Stay still. Let me kiss you a little more,” Landon said to her tenderly as he engaged in a tongue kiss with her, pinching her chin. Dizzy and defenseless, she succumbed to his passionate advance.
Landon was abruptly interrupted by a deafening slap through his earbud as things were about to escalate. Halting, he removed the earbud with a frown.
“L-Landon, is that Betty?” Lauren clung tightly to his waist, staring in disbelief as Angelina slapped Betty on the other side.
“Yeah. No one is as ugly as that heartless sister of yours,” Landon replied, observing Betty’s distress from the assault.
Lauren witnessed Angelina holding Betty up from the ground by holding Betty’s hair. Then, Angelina started slapping Betty indiscriminately.
A few rounds later, Betty’s haughty and pretty face swelled, her nose bleeding, and her eyes struggling to open.
Angelina, trained in martial arts and serving as Landon’s bodyguard, proved to be ruthless and strong.
“I’m sorry. Please stop! Please stop it!” Betty pleaded for mercy, suffering in pain.
The more she screamed, the more satisfied Landon seemed.
“Why would you hit her?” Lauren exclaimed in shock and tugged at his arm. “Tell Angie to stop!”
“Darling, why would I?” Landon caressed Lauren’s face.
