Chapter 1057

“Thank you for worrying about me, Landon.” Javier smiled.

“It's not just me. There's also Lauren and Jasper. They all care about you.” Landon’s words were so

sweet.

In fact, it wasn't just to please his future father-in-law. He also wanted to gain favor for Jasper.

“I haven't seen Lauren in a long time. Come to my study, both of you. Let's sit down and have a

good chat.”

With an affectionate smile, Javier gestured to Lauren. “Come, Lauren, come to me.”

Although Lauren communicated less with Javier as she grew up, in her memory, he was the one who

loved her the most when she was al child.

“Dad...”

With glistening eyes, Lauren let go of Landon’s hand and walked

toward Javier.

For some reason, when Landon saw this scene, his eyes reddened, and his nose prickled.

He knew very well that, no matter how well he treated Lauren or how much he loved her, he

couldn't replace the position of family in her heart.

Perhaps many people could live without love, but no one could endure losing their family.

As Lauren approached, Javier smiled and opened his arms to encircle her petite frame. He embraced

his long-unseen daughter, gently

Meanwhile, she pressed her face against his chest. For some reason, her heart trembled. A surge of

complex emotions washed over her, and she secretly shed tears, moistening Javier's neat shirt.

At this moment, Betty's anger finally reached its peak, and she was almost crying.

As Javier's eldest daughter, she had always been the apple of the Becketts' eyes. With her

intelligence and beauty, she had been the focus of her parents’ attention, overshadowing Lauren's

existence.

Lauren had now taken away everything that originally belonged to her, from Newton to Sophia to

Landon.

Even Javier's favor was taken away from her.

She hated Lauren. She hated her to the core.

Conversely, the grounded Sophia was terrified after seeing the news about Jeffrey and the online

comments.

She fumbled for the medication Tristan left for her. After injecting herself twice, she finally calmed

down and had some capacity for rational thought.

She never expected that Jeffrey, who had fled to Tsulu, would be arrested. Furthermore, she didn't

anticipate that the blame for Nina's

death would still be associated with her.

The police hadn't summoned her, indicating that Jeffrey hadn't ratted her out.

However, as long as he was alive, there was a risk that he couldn't withstand the pressure and would

spill the beans, revealing everything about hiring him to kill Nina. By then, it would be too late.

Since Javier had grounded her, she couldn't do much.

The only person who could do things for her was Betty.

With swollen eyes, Betty came to see Sophia. She sat there, sobbing

uncontrollably.

However, Sophia had no time to deal with her bad mood, immediately

saying, “Jeffrey has been arrested, and there's a good chance he

might reveal what we've done. We can't keep him alive.”

"What we've done? What have I done?”
