Betty sniffled, a cold glint passing through her eyes. âDidnât you order him to do those things? What does it have to do with me? Donât involve me in this!â
âYou brat! Now that things have come to this, you want to wash your hands of it? Iâm in trouble, but you only think about hiding instead of helping? Donât think you can live a good life if something happens to me!
Sophiaâs fierce gaze made Betty shiver.
They werenât mother and daughter. They were clearly partners in crime.
âWhat do we do now? Whatâs your plan?â Betty asked while clenching her teeth.
Suddenly, Sophiaâs expression turned cold, and her complexion became terrifyingly sinister, âIâm going to kill Jeffrey.â
âK-Kill Jeffrey? But heâs under police control now. How are we going to do it?â
Betty was already well-trained by Sophia. She no longer turned pale at the mention of the word âkillâ.
Instead, she first thought about how to do it.
âIn prison, plenty of people are willing to take money to get rid of someone. Inside there, with so many people, finding an opportunity to do it without anyone noticing is easy.â
Having said that, Sophia took out a credit card and casually tossed it onto Betty. âThereâs enough money in here for you to operate. Resolve Betty held the card in her hand, feeling like she was holding a sharp blade.
âMom, I can do this, but I have a condition.â
âYou brat⦠How dare you talk about conditions with me? Do your have no conscience at all?â Sophia stood with her left hand on her hip, pointing angrily at Betty with her right finger.
âMom, forgive my frankness, but Dad has started to dislike you. That little slut, Lauren, is with Landon every day and gets along well with Alyssa. Sheâs useless. The only person you can rely on is me.â
Betty revealed a cold and sly smile.
Sophia frowned, feeling that this daughter of hers was really too. much like her.
But precisely because she was so similar, she inexplicably felt a trace of ⦠fear.
âWhat do you want?â
âI know Landon hates me, and thereâs absolutely no chance for me to be with him. In that case, I canât let Lauren marry him either.â Betty gritted her teeth.
âLandon brought Lauren to see Dad, and the three of them were so harmonious. Dad has obviously already approved of their relationship. You must find a way to stop her from marrying into the Harper family.â
âFind a way? Landon has all his attention on Lauren now. Heâs bewitched by your sister. What can I do?â Sophia snorted, not readily agreeing to her conditions.
âWell, then, Iâm afraid I wonât be able to help you get rid of Jeffrey.â
Betty smirked. âMom, I think deep down, you understand. Although weâre on the same boat, what can you do while being grounded at home? Besides me, who else can you rely on?â
Sophia was so angry that her eyes turned red.
This heartless and ungrateful daughter actually dared to counter her mother!
Noticing that Sophia hadnât reacted for a long time, Betty continued to weigh the pros and cons for her.
âMom, I know you want to be Landonâs mother-in-law, hoping to turn over a new leaf through the noble status of your son-in-law. But have you ever thought, even if Lauren really marries into the Harper family, what can she do for you?
âRemember, Landon is Jasperâs good buddy, and Lauren is on good terms with Alyssa. Youâve seen how she helped that bitch.â
