Javier continued, "Betty is indeed at fault in this matter, but isn't the main responsibility on theHarpers?"

He was quite good at sophistry as he attempted to regain control of the narrative. "Who knows,maybe it was Zoe who instigated, tempted, or even threatened Betty into doing what she did"Even if not, ultimately, it was the Harpers who publicized Lauren's condition! Jasper, instead ofconfronting the Harpers, are you now turning against your own family? How can you do this?"Betty immediately began to weep, mimicking the pitiful demeanor of her late mother.

"In any case, sending her abroad should settle this matter. I don't want any more turmoil in thefamily.” Javier's tone was resolute, leaving no room for disagreement.

Jasper's eyes darkened, and he gritted his teeth to suppress his anger.

He was not a reckless man. He knew that further confrontation would only fuel Javier's competitivespirit, causing him to defend Betty even more.

"Fine, skip the apology." With these words, Jasper strode over to Betty and actually extended hisarms to help her up.

Betty stood there dumbfounded. Looking at him in confusion, she barely managed to stand upright.Unbeknownst to her, as soon as she steadied herself, she heard a rush of wind by her ear.

Without a word, Jasper raised his robust arm and delivered a resounding slap to Betty's alreadyswollen face.

Betty was caught off guard by the blow. The pain left her unable to even cry out. Blood trickled fromher mouth, and there was a ringing in her ear.

Jasper was no ordinary man. He had a military background. His strength was formidable, enough todisorient even a grown man, let alone a woman.

The helpers outside were all frozen in shock.

They marveled at how particular Jasper was. He had to get Betty's face in the right position beforeslapping her.

"This slap is for Lauren. You're heartless, even going as far as scheming against your own sister. Youdon't deserve to be called human.”

Before the words could settle, Jasper delivered another slap. It sent Betty crashing to the groundonce more, unable to get up

"This slap is for Landon. Your actions have caused my best friend to suffer. You deserve to face theconsequences.

"Betty, if you dare plot against anyone close to me again, I won't spare you, even if you escape tothe ends of the earth. When the time comes, not even God can protect you.”

With this final warning delivered calmly, Jasper walked over to push the wheelchair, leaving withNewton and Ben

Meanwhile, Javier stood motionless in place.

When he regained his composure, he gritted his teeth in frustration and couldn't help but lash outat the bewildered Betty.

"You conniving, treacherous thing! Get up and pack your things. Get out of the country and staythere!"

"Dad... Dad..."

Betty covered her throbbing ear, shouting in distress and panic, “I can't hear you... Jasper has mademe deaf... I can't hear anything!"

Javier's pupils dilated, and a chilling sensation gripped his heart.
