Chapter 567
Sophia reveled in satisfaction. Javier had better whip Jasper with all his might. Even if
Jasper survived the whipping, they’d have at least released the pent-up anger and
humiliation.
All the servants at Seaview Manor were summoned to the first-floor main hall and
assembled in a few
rows.
Betty couldn’t contain her delight upon hearing about Jasper’s whipping. She sought out
Lauren, who had nearly slipped her mind. “Hey, you idiot!”
Betty kicked the door open. Lauren, who was sketching, dropped her pencil onto the floor
at the sudden Intrusion. “W-What’s going on, Betty?”
“It’s time to witness the spectacle downstairs! Jasper is about to get whipped! Hahaha!”
Betty cackled like a maniac.
Lauren felt her heart skip a beat. “Jasper? But why?”
“It’s all because that insolent little shit insulted Dad to his face!” Betty replied with a
malicious grin. Hmph! Does Jasper truly believe he’s untouchable just because he’s the
company’s president? He wouldn’t have gotten the position if it weren’t for Justin’s health
issues!
“Dad would have shipped him off to some obscure company branch in the world if he
hadn’t pitied Jasper for his mom’s untimely death! Jasper’s really taking things for
granted.”
Betty might have called Lauren an idiot, but Lauren was far from one. She picked up
Betty’s disdain for
Jasper from the remarks.
Feeling frustrated, she mustered all her courage and retorted, “Jasper isn’t that kind of
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtperson. You must
have joined hands with Mom to bully him.”
“You fucking idiot! What did you just say?” Betty yelled and charged at her. She closed her
eyes in fear
and reflexively shielded her head.
“M-Ms. Betty,” a maid called out to Betty just in time with an urgent tone. “M-Mr. Javier
wants you and
Ms. Lauren on the first floor right now.”
Hearing that, Betty dropped her arms resentfully. “Got it!” Then, she stormed out of the
room.
The maid hurried up to Lauren and felt bad to see Lauren turning pale. She asked, “Ms.
Lauren, are you
okay?”

reveal patches of bruises
She was nearly brought to tears by the sight. “Your skin is covered in bruises from Ms.

You should go. Il head downstairs soon. Dad wants me there
Nina groaned and left as instructed
After the door closed, Lauren quickly retrieved her phone and dialed Alyssa’s number.

“Lauren? Lauren, what’s wrong? Why didn’t you say anything? Alyssa’s tone was filled with
worry.
“Alyssa, they’re bullying Jasper†)
