Chapter 576
“You’ve hurt Nina. Apologize to her now!” Lauren sprang up from the ground, her delicate shoulders trembling with anger as she
fixed a piercing gaze on her sister. This was one of Lauren’s rare outbursts.
“Apologize to her? Hahaha! You’re delusional!” Betty laughed, but she was interrupted by Lauren’s next move. Lauren snarled
and charged at her like an angry bull at lightning speed.
Before anyone could react, she had knocked Betty onto the ground. Betty landed on her back like an upturned turtle, narrowly
avoiding an embarrassing flash of her skirt.
The servants around them snorted and let out stifled laughs.
“Lauren Beckett!” Betty seethed with anger as if she might spontaneously combust. She sprang to her feet, feeling an urge to
tear Lauren into pieces.
“Come up here! Hold her down right now!” Betty commanded. The two stocky maids, who were loyal to Sophia and Betty, rushed
over right away and held Lauren’s arms.
Lauren fought back with all her might, her eyes wide with rage. “Let go of me!” However, she was easily lifted off her floor, given
her petite frame and slender limbs.
“You little bitch! Not even God can save you now!” Betty rolled up her sleeves and gave Lauren a hard slap
across the face.
Lauren saw stars and groaned in pain. Her thin nightdress clung to her skin, soaked in sweat.
Betty derived pleasure from Lauren’s suffering. She could finally release her pent-up frustration on her
personal punching bag.
She remarked, “You won’t look good with the blush on just one cheek. Let me even it out for you.”
Betty then proceeded to slap Lauren’s right cheek.
A cold male voice suddenly cut through the tension. “Touch her one more time, and I’ll make you pay!”
The servants looked at the door and inhaled collectively. Meanwhile, Betty nearly jumped out of her skin from the familiar voice.
She had wanted to lower her hand, but it was too late.
The tall and imposing figure marched through the entrance with hostility.
“L-Landon Betty mumbled, guiltily concealing her hand. The scowl vanished from her face, replaced by
a demure expression.
Lauren opened her teary eyes and noticed Landon approaching her. She immediately went limp as a wave
“L-Landon... Lauren’s feeble moans only fueled Landon’s anger. He breathed heavily, his heart aching with pain.
