Chapter 575
Just as a spectacle had ended, another was about to start. As Javier and Jasper weren’t
home, Betty was
emboldened to act out.
She was convinced that Lauren had leaked news of Jasper’s punishment to Newton. So,
she marched to Lauren’s room and dragged Lauren to the living room by her hair. She
seemed to have picked up a thing
or two from Javier and decided to reenact the punishment right away.
“B-Betty, let go of me! My scalp hurts!” Lauren pleaded, tears welling up as she felt the
pain in her hair.
“You little traitor! Bitch! Oh, it hurts? Great. I’ll teach you a lesson for selling out!” Betty
cursed vehemently

‘Ouch!”
The loud slap echoed through the hall, leaving the household staff shocked and concerned
for Lauren.
However, they remained powerless to intervene as mere employees.
Lauren covered her face and wept, “Betty, it’s all my fault! I will not repeat my
mistake!”
She knew that no one would come to her help. She had wanted to fight back, but her body
curled into a
ball in a cowardly manner.
Betty was not only Newton’s favorite granddaughter but also her parents’ beloved child.
How could
Lauren possibly stand up against her?
While Alyssa might have had the option to leave the family, Lauren saw no alternative but
to endure silently in the hopes of surviving within the household.
“Ms. Lauren!” Crying, Nina ran to Lauren and hugged the latter. She implored, “Ms. Betty,
she’s Mr. Javier’s daughter too. What right do you have to punish her?”
“Huh?” Betty chuckled at the absurdity of it all, placing her hand on her hip and glaring at
the two of them.”
You idiot, I didn’t know you had an ally in this house!”
“N-Nina, just leave me alone! Run!” Lauren hurriedly covered Nina’s mouth, knowing she
would be powerless to protect Nina if Betty flew into a rage. She knew what Betty was
capable of doing.
“I’m not leaving!” Nina clung to Lauren tightly and stared at Betty through her tears. “I
won’t abandon you, even if it means I’m blacklisted in Solana City! Ms. Betty, do you
realize you’ve broken the law? You

“Ahahaha! How hilarious! Who do you think you are, raising your voice at me?” Betty
cackled and
Incensed, and a few were even itching to retaliate, but others held them back.
Each was well aware of the Becketts’ influence in Solana City. Acting on impulse might
cost them their livelihoods in the city permanently.
Despite their anger at Betty, they were just servants who had to think twice for the sake of
their jobs and
their families.
“Betty Beckett!” Lauren growled. She could tolerate Betty hitting her, but she was
enraged when Nina got hurt as well. Anger blazed like wildfire in her eyes.
Betty was stunned by Lauren’s rare temper and screamed back, “What? Did you just call
me by my full
name?”
She thought Lauren must have lost her mind to defend a mere servant..
