Hearing that, Betty's mind whizzed. She scrambled up from the floor. "A-Are you able to comehome? When will you return? Are you back to take revenge on Landon?"

Zoe hissed through gritted teeth, "I will give him trouble if he makes my life miserable. From themoment he slapped me in front of Alyssa, Jasper, and the high society of Solana City, I stoppedseeing him as my brother. He's just my enemy now!"

"Right! Landon has crossed a line. How could he abandon his sister even before he marries Lauren?Not only that, Landon is turning against his mom. Imagine if he marries Lauren. What will happen toyou and your mom?" Betty sniffled. She then started fanning the flames and backstabbing Lauren."Hmph! Stop acting like you're thinking for me. You're only saying that because you need me backto take revenge for you," Zoe called out Betty's despicable motives.

She added, "You lost your mom's backing. You have no power without her. All you can do is watchyour stupid sister marry into wealth and step all over you."

That reminded Betty of the halcyon gemstones that were taken by Landon, which would eventuallyend up as Lauren's assets. Quivering in hatred, she felt extremely disgruntled and dissatisfied.Betty thought that, as Javier's eldest daughter, she was the one who carried her parents’expectations and enjoyed their affection. How did she end up in such a sorry state? Even that fool,Lauren, had surpassed her in life.

"I will never see Lauren marry Landon! That'll never happen!" Betty scowled resentfully.

"I share the same thought, but you know Landon. It's impossible to make him give up on Lauren.That's why we need to plan this carefully so that he will utterly give up on her." Zoe chuckledmaliciously. "Looks like we'll be working together once more.

"Have you learned something from your mom's issue? It's useless to pin all your hopes onsomebody else. Take your revenge by yourself. It's going to feel cathartic!"

Betty had picked up Zoe's undertones. Zoe wanted to work with Betty just to be safe—so that shecould have someone to blame if things went wrong

However, Betty was consumed by hatred. She would go to any lengths, even sacrificing herself justto destroy Landon and Lauren. She said to Zoe, "There's no point discussing this now. Let's talkwhen you're back."

When Jasper and Landon left the Seaview Manor, their luxury cars waited for their owners by theentrance. The Seaview Manor was not home to Landon, but it seemed that Jasper, too, no longerconsidered the place his home.

"You should have told me Lauren loves this stuff. I can get my hands on as many as I can for her,”said Jasper as he gazed at the heavy bag in Landon's hand. "Why would you give Lauren Sophia'spossessions? It's so icky."

"If we don't take these away, they'll fall into Betty's hands! I'd rather crush these stones than handthem to that dunce!" Landon looked smug. "It felt so good seeing her red in anger and holding ahammer! Hahaha! She must have been driven crazy after losing something that was nearly hers!"Jasper grinned as he shot a helpless look at his friend.

The look in Landon's eyes softened. He sighed. "Lauren doesn't care about gemstones, to be honest.She has been feeling awful after visiting Sophia. She even feels remorseful toward you.

"So, I suggest we sell Sophia's stones and donate the money to a new charity fund named after yourmom. It might not mean much, but it's better than nothing. At least Lauren will feel better.”Jasper’s chest tightened after hearing that. What he feared had come true. He worried that Laurenwould blame herself for what Sophia had done to him, potentially straining their sibling relationship.He said, "The grudge between my mom and Sophia is in the past. Besides, Sophia wasn't evenpregnant with Lauren when she joined the Beckett family. Lauren has nothing to do with it."
