Chapter 82
“I–I…” Tears welled up in Lauren’s eyes as she choked on her words.
“You just want to go against our wishes! Since we look down on Alice, you decide to help her out. All because you wanted to show how special you are! Do you really think you’re a heroine for doing that?”
Betty’s pretty face was now twisted into one of hatred and anger. “Stop being st* pid! Mr. Landon
will never have feelings for you! Stop being delusional!”
“Ms. Betty, what are you doing?” Mrs. Rosie rushed into the room before pulling Lauren into a hug
The other Kousekeepers in Seaview Manor were used to such dramas. Besides, they’d rather stay
away from the conflict. Mrs. Rosie was the only one who dared to defend Lauren.
“Get out, Mrs. Rosie! This is none of your business!” Betty snapped at her in frustration.
“I think you should be the one leaving this room!”
Mrs. Rosie comforted Lauren, who was trembling in fright. She eyed Betty up and down.
She warned, “If you leave this room right now, I’ll pretend I never saw anything. Otherwise, I’ll tell
Mr. Jasper how you bullied Ms. Lauren once he comes home!”
Betty shuddered at the thought before gritting her teeth angrily.
If Jasper were to find out how she truly acted in Seaview Manor, he would most likely tell Landon about it. After all, both of them were best friends. Betty would definitely have a hard time pursuing Landon if Jasper decided to sabotage her.
With that thought in mind, the woman decided to stop bullying Lauren. For now, at least.
Still, she felt that she didn’t push Lauren around enough. Before Betty left the room, she snatched the teddy bear from Lauren’s arms and chucked it from the window.
“Ah! My teddy bear!”
“Ugh, it’s just junk!” Betty huffed coldly. She flipped her long curls before leaving the room
casually.
Lauren bolted out of the manor hurriedly.
It just so happened that Jasper returned to Seaview Manor at that time. He was surprised to see
his younger sister in a panic.
