Chapter 1137
Right at this moment, Winston put his arm over Lyla’s shoulders. She could feel the heat from his palm on her shoulder as he
gave her a gentle squeeze.
Even though he was silent, Lyla could hear his heart pounding through his chest. Her teary eyes glistened.
With Winston around, she was safe in her shelter. There was a place
for her soul to rest.
“Mr. Javier, as the head of your family, could you kindly keep a close watch on this loose-mouthed bitch? Winston spoke up
suddenly in a
cold tone.
The way he glared at Sophia was as if he was about to burn a hole through her.
Everyone was taken aback by what they just heard.
Loose-mouthed ... bitch?
If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn’t have guessed that Winston, an upper-class man, was the one who
uttered those
very words!
Sophia was enraged with embarrassment, and her face turned redder
than a tomato!
However, when her eyes met Winston’s sharp gaze, she flinched.
Jasper was completely floored. He had no idea what kind of expression he should show. “Your father’s words were ... really
shocking. Now I know where you get your character from, Lyse.”
“That’s how he always surprises the outsiders. I have always known

mind, even if it may sound crude. Get used to it.”
Just as Alyssa finished speaking, her cell phone started vibrating suddenly. She looked down and took a peek at it quietly.
Then, she shot a look at Sophia. Her scarlet lips turned up slightly into a cold smile.
Javier took a deep breath and commanded, “This time, Sophie, you have indeed misspoken. Apologize to Madam Lyla
immediately.”
Sophia was so mad that she was foaming at the mouth. She clenched her jaws so tightly that they began to hurt.
She had underestimated how protective Winston was toward Lyla. The care he showed her was none like what she had ever
seen in
Javier!
Although she started the clamor with Lyla, she didn’t have the guts to displease Winston.
In the end, she could only bite the bullet and utter softly, “I was being too emotional earlier and lost control of my words. I’m sorry,
Madam
Lyla.”
“Hah, that’s it?” Winston scoffed.
The look in his eyes was extremely terrifying. Bright-eyed, he
questioned, “Do you think that us Taylors are such easy people? Are you treating my wife as a pushover?
“Also, you also hurt my daughter with your vilifying words earlier. Did you think that I was deaf and didn’t hear you?
“A word of apology is not going to cut it. You have poked the bear, and I am not going to let you off so easily.”
“What do you want us to do then, Mr. Taylor?” Javier asked

As much as he was unhappy with Sophia for causing trouble, Winston was also unequivocally upset by the Becketts’ attitude
toward them.
“I want that bitch to give herself two tight slaps. One is to apologize to my wife, Lyla, and the other to Alyssa. If so, I will let it go
for the sake of Mr. Beckett Senior.”
Winston made his demand casually, but it threw everyone in an
outrage!
He wanted Sophia to hit herself? He might as well have gotten someone to smear shit on her!
“You... You’re totally taking advantage of me! I am the wife of a plutocrat! I’m Javier Beckett’s wife! How dare you make such a
request?” Sophia yelled while stomping her feet in anger.
Javier looked extremely unhappy, but he hadn’t agreed to Winston’s demand.
Winston couldn’t wait any longer. He called out angrily, “Neil!”
“I’m here, Mr. Winston!”
Who was Neil Benton? He was Winston’s loyal devotee, a follower at his beck and call! With wide strides, he marched to the
front of
Sophia.
Before they knew it, he raised his arm and gave her two consecutive slaps in two left and right movements!

Sophia screamed in pain. Both her cheeks turned red and swelled up in an instant.
Back in those days, Neil was a black belt master in karate. Sophia was really put through the wringer.
