“Since you got into trouble, I’ve been helping you and caring for you. What has Lauren done for you
besides living with Landon and
spending time with him every day?
“They say after you get married, you forget your mother, but Lauren is better. She hasn’t even married
into the Harper family yet, and she has completely forgotten about you, the one who raised her.”
Sophia stood there like she’d been struck by lightning, unable to speak for a while.
Leaving aside whether Lauren marrying Landon was genuinely beneficial for her, she couldn’t even
step out the door now. She was on the brink of a personal crisis. How could she still have the energy to
care about Lauren’s marriage?
Though Lauren was her biological daughter, she was ultimately a person on her own.
Only by becoming strong and living well could Sophia take care of herself. That was the most crucial
thing now.
“Fine… I agree.”
With a pair of dark eye circles, Sophia ground her teeth together audibly. “As long as you help me get
rid of Jeffrey, I guarantee the Harper family will never accept Lauren.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBetty’s eyes shot out a sinister and excited gleam at those words.
So what if Landon only wanted to marry Lauren?

In the study, the atmosphere was unusually warm and harmonious.
Javier and Landon exchanged pleasantries. As an elder, Javier asked him about his business matters.

him a little nervous.
“Mr. Landon, please have some tea. Ms. Lauren, this is the orange juice you like.” Rory walked over
with a tray.
“Thank you, Mr. Rory.” Lauren picked up the glass, smiling innocently.
Her bright smile was just the same as when she was a child.
Rory couldn’t help but smile, feeling a surge of warmth in his heart.
Although they were both Javier’s daughters, Betty’s and Lauren’s personalities were totally different.
In more blunt terms, Rory couldn’t see any trace of aristocratic grac and manners in Betty. Sophia, at
least, knew how to carry herself as a lady, behaving gracefully.
Betty, on the other hand, didn’t even bother to pretend. She acted just like a wild girl brought in from
who knew where.
Back then, Rory used to worry about Lauren’s future. He feared that, due to her autism, she would live
a lonely life, unable to experience love, marriage, and motherhood like a normal girl.

“Ahem, ahem… Landon.” Seeing them flaunting affection before him, Javier cleared his throat
solemnly.
“After so many things, I can see that you genuinely care for Lauren. I’ve watched you grow up, too.
Since you want to date her, I won’t stop
you.
“However, Lauren is still young, and she has been well-protected by us. since childhood. She’s naïve
and inexperienced in worldly matters. This is her first time dating.
“It’s also the first time she has stayed away from home for severa days in a row. You should know,
Landon, that Lauren has never gone out at night before. You’ve broken our family’s rules.”
“I’m sorry, Dad. But when Lauren stays with me, I won’t let her go out at night. There are so many bad
people out there, and Lauren is so
beautiful. What if she attracts the attention of some men? I’ll be
worried.” Landon tried to change the topic with a smile.
