Chapter 632

Zoe's eyes burned with anger, and she trembled as she shared, “Landon hasn't been around for a

long time because he's living with Lauren Beckett! He's even bought a place for her!”

Penelope felt like a bolt of lightning had struck her, and her face paled.

“I hate Sophia and Betty, and I wouldn't want Lauren as my future sister-in-law. But London is

Infatuated. with her! He raised his voiceat me for that woman, and he even- Zoe deliberately paused

for suspense.

“What else did he do to you?”

“He hit me!” Zoe said, tears rolling down like a waterfall.

“Where did he hit you?”

“My face! He slapped me in front of his staff and that Beckett bitch! Mom, my face hurts!” Zoe

moaned.

and reached for a hug as she cried her heart out.

Penelope's heart ached for her beloved daughter. Her eldest son, who had always been obedient,

had had

the audacity to fight with his sister over Sophia’s daughter

She couldn't help but wonder if Landon might one day sever ties with her, his own mother, as well,

“Mom, you need to put a stop to Landon and Lauren's relationship. If he marries her for real, it'll

bring disgrace to our family! Landon will be a laughingstock in Harper Group,” Zoe choked out with

urgency.

"W-What do you mean?” Penelope sounded perplexed.

“Lauren Beckett is mentally challenged! She's an autistic patient!”

Upon hearing this, Penelope felt her world spin. She believed Landon was good enough for even

and couldn't fathom him marrying an autistic woman.

She would never agree to it!

“Mom, Lauren might be a Beckett, but I'm concerned that her offspring might be autistic as well!

Who

knows if it's hereditary?” Zoe cautioned.

Zoe's words struck a nerve with Penelope. She declared, “Zoe, thank you for sharing this with me. I

know.

what needs to be done now.”

Penelope's warm gaze had turned icy as she vowed, “Don't worry. I will take care of both of you. I

won't

allow Landon to jeopardize his future with someone like Lauren Beckett.”

Snuggled against Penelope, Zoe broke out into an evil grin upon hearing those words.

Time flew by, and it was soon the day of Lyla and Sophia's birthday event.

Due to Javier's disapproval, Sophia hadn't publicized her birthday party extensively. However, she

had distributed invitations to the esteemed members of Solana City's high society and quietly

spread the

word through other means.

Although her reputation in the city had taken a hit, she remained confident that her celebration

would be merrier than Lyla’s, given her title and status as Mrs. Beckett.

Conversely, the Taylors had also refrained from publicizing Lyla“s birthday party. They had been

planning

for it quietly.

Lyla wasn't a celebrity anymore-she didn't need the publicity for the clicks and attention.

The night before the birthday party, Lyla found herself blindfolded and guided into a room by

Mandy,

Colene, and Alyssa.

With a curi

a curious smile, she pondered, “What's the surprise?”

Alyssa began the countdown. “Three, two, one!” Then, she removed Lyla’s blindfold.
