Chapter 1557

"Grandpa, what did you mean by that? I am Lauren's sister. Why would I cause harm to my own

sister?” Betty was frantic as she tried to explain herself.

Cold sweat began to form on her back.

Landon was a straightforward person. He gave Lauren a gentle squeeze and clicked his tongue.

Newton pulled a face. "I have not gone senile. It is clear to me whether things are as you claim them

to be. You should be well aware, too.

"Lauren is going to be wed into the Harper family soon. You shouldn't waste your efforts. Instead,

you should stop being so arrogant. Let your father find someone decent for you to marry. He can

then have a son-in-law whom he is satisfied with, too."

Betty was enraged. Wasn't Newton hinting at and mocking her for not being able to get married?

In the end, she couldn't restrain herself any longer. She responded with defiance, "I don't need you

to trouble yourself with my matters. I don't mind if I never marry. I am still my father's daughter. I

am still part of the Beckett family.

"Mom has now passed away. Laurie is also getting married soon. In the future, I have to help Dad

run Seaview Manor."

"We have a butler at Seaview Manor. You don't have to trouble yourself with that.”

Newton narrowed his eyes. What he said next shut Betty up completely.

"Moreover, Seaview Manor is my personal asset. I will be gifting it to Jasper and Alyssa as their

wedding gift if Alyssa marries into our family in the future.”

Alyssa's heart skipped a beat. She widened her eyes.

Seaview Manor as a wedding gift? Newton was going overboard!

Jasper, on the other hand, gave Alyssa a gentle tug by the waist. He maintained a calm expression

on his face.

That was because this wasn't his first time hearing this. Newton had mentioned this to him countless

times in private. Newton had even said that he intended for Seaview Manor to be their matrimonial

home after they married. He would also have Javier move out and live elsewhere.

After all, this was Newton's property. Of course, he had the final say.

"When that time comes, my granddaughter-in-law will be the one who owns Seaview Manor. She

will be managing the people and matters here. She will be the one who has the final say."

Newton fixed his eyes on Alyssa as he said all this. He was smiling from ear to ear. The more he

looked at her, the more pleased he felt. "That said, that's not for others to worry about.”

Sophia flaunted her influence in his territory for too long. He decided to do so as his way of rising

against Javier. At the same time, he wanted to intimidate Betty.

However, there was something that Newton was unaware of.

Betty didn't stray by chance; she was inherently troublesome. She was the bad seed that Sophia

introduced into the Beckett family.

Newton's words were not going to scare her at all. On the contrary, it would aggravate the devil

within her. Her fire of hatred toward Alyssa and Lauren would only burn brighter.

Newton and the rest of their visitors departed from Seaview Manor.

Betty dragged her feet as she went upstairs. Her eyes were filled with hatred. She had a bearing of

hostility that would even make dogs crouch in fear.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. In the end, she took her phone out and made a

call to Zoe, who was overseas.

"What's up with you? You're interrupting my spa session,” Zoe answered the phone in an irritated

voice.

"When in the world are you coming back? If you continue to be away... Lauren, that bitch, will be

taking over your family!"
