Chapter 631
Zoe was terrorized by Landon’s wrath. She had witnessed him teaching Donna and Gary a
lesson. He hadn’t even spared Gary, who had been serving him for years. The punishment
he had inflicted on Gary
seemed almost fatal.
All of this chaos was because of Lauren. Zoe couldn’t fathom why Landon would go to
such lengths for an idiot. In comparison, she felt that she had been reduced to a joke as
his sister.
After leaving the villa, she returned to the Harper Residence with a resentful scowl.
Throughout the journey, she couldn’t hold back her tears when she reminisced about how
Landon had used to spoil her.
Amidst her anger, Zoe made a resolute decision. No matter what, she was determined to
come between Landon and Lauren. She would never accept Lauren as her sister-in-law.

from her daughter
and came out to hug Zoe.
“My darling. I thought your flight had landed earlier. Why are you only home now? I was so
worried.”
“Mom…” Zoe teared up at the sight of her mom and the injustice that had befallen her.
“What’s wrong, my dear? You look upset. Did someone bully you?” Penelope inquired
“Where’s your brother? Did he pick you up? Why didn’t he come home with you?”
Zoe stared at her feet and shook her head pitifully.
Penelope grumbled, “What’s gotten into Landon? He’s always pampered you, but he was
ready to send you to Yoarkley over that Beckett girl incident.
“And now, when you’ve finally come home, he couldn’t even be bothered to pick you up
from the airport at night! I just don’t understand him.”
Then, she caressed Zoe’s chilly cheek with concern. “Landon hasn’t been home in the past
few days. I
know he’s busy, and he’s always done things his way.
“But in the past, he never disappeared without a trace, no matter how busy he was. Now,
he doesn’t come home and doesn’t seem to care about his sister. I wonder what’s going
on in his mind.”
Zoe blurted out, “I know why he’s not home.”
“What? You know?” Penelope exclaimed in surprise.
Zoe clenched her fist, her voice growing somber. “Mom, I’ll tell you something, but
promise me you’ll stay
“What’s wrong? Please don’t give me a heart attack.”
“Landon is dating Sophia’s youngest daughter now,” Zoe stated through gritted teeth.
“Who? Sophia Kirkman? The youngest daughter of that bitch? Penelope gasped, her jaw

“Yes, he’s dating Betty’s sister, Sophia’s daughter!” Zoe confirmed and grabbed
Penelope’s arm.
She complained, “Mom, what’s he thinking? Sophia and Betty caused a scene at our place,
slandered me, and even wanted to send me to jail!
“All of this happened recently, and yet, Landon ended up dating Lauren. How can he do
that to me? Doesn’t he care about me anymore?”
Penelope felt uneasy upon hearing the news, even though the Becketts were a prestigious
family and Jasper was Landon’s best friend. After all, Landon was a proud and
accomplished man.
Nevertheless, she tried to comfort Zoe. “I don’t like Sophia’s daughter either, but you
know your brother. He’s a ladies’ man, and he’s been involved with more than half the
young women in Solana City. However, he’s never brought any of them home. Most of the
time, he’s not genuinely interested.
“It’s possible he’s taken an interest in Jasper’s sister because he spends so much time
with Jasper. I believe he’ll grow bored of her soon, just like he has with others in the past-
“No, Mom! It’s different this time!”
