Chapter 1061

When Landon touched Lauren's slender back, he realized sweat had soaked through her clothes. His

eyes contracted, and his heart

seemed to sink, making it difficult to breathe.

He had forced her too much. He shouldn't have let her dwell on the painful past, always thinking

about revenge.

Landon didn't want to let her beloved Lauren do anything. He decided to handle everything.

“Is... your sister bullying you?” Javier suddenly asked. His question pierced Lauren's trembling heart

like a sharp arrow.

She lowered her head and ruffled the folds of her skirt in silence.

“Is it true? Has Betty been bullying you all along? Tell me. I'll stand up for you.”

“Dad, you know Lauren's situation. She's not like Ms. Betty, who can sweet-talk and please you.

Sometimes, Lauren is too kind and doesn’t want to make things awkward with her family.

“So, she can only live cautiously, silently enduring all the humiliation.”

Landon couldn't bear to watch any longer. With a cool gaze, he said, ” It has been so many years.

Pursuing this matter is meaningless. Moreover, aren't both parties important to you?"

In this speech, he didn't say anything bad about Betty, but it was just the same as calling her out.

Javier's face turned extremely dark, and he clenched the palm on his knee tightly.

Landon slowly helped Lauren up. His arm naturally slid down to her

“The past is in the past. I won't pursue it for your sake.

“But from now on, it's different. Since I'm dating Lauren, I'll be in charge of everything for her. If

anyone dares to touch her, no matter who they are, Ill make them pay a bloody price.”

After Landon led Lauren away, the atmosphere in the study became extremely tense. Javier could

feel the chilling atmosphere in the air, which was accompanied by an overwhelming sense of

oppression.

“So... Landon also knows that Betty has been bullying Lauren?”

Javier looked at Rory in bewilderment, his heart tightening. He found it difficult to accept for a

moment.

“I accidentally overheard the servants at home mention it. Everyone knows about it. Everyone except

me? As their father, I didn't know?”

Rory sighed. “Don’t blame yourself, Mr. Javier. You need to manage. such a large household and a

big company. It's understandable that you might overlook some things.”

This statement was basically an admission.

With his elbows on the desk, Javier painfully held his head in his hands. “I really feel ashamed before

Lauren as her father. I had no idea she was so unhappy at home..."

“But everything has passed, Mr. Javier. Now, with Mr. Landon taking good care of Ms. Lauren, you

can rest assured,” Rory said with at

solemn tone.

“Ms. Lauren is also grown up. She's not a child anymore. You can't keep her confined at home,

preventing her from socializing and interacting with society. This won't benefit her condition.

"And haven't you noticed? Ms. Lauren has been happier and more

Javier nodded.

Even he didn't know how long it had been since he had seen Lauren smile so brightly. It was evident

that Landon was truly good to her, and she genuinely felt happiness from the bottom of her heart.

“I've spoiled Betty too much. She's Lauren's sister. How could she do this?”

Javier thought of the innocent and adorable Betty from childhood and felt heartbroken at the

current situation.

“Mr. Javier, you should understand the principle of “one who keeps company with the wolf will learn

to howl,” Rory pointed out. Javier's eyes turned deep, and his jawline tightened
