Chapter 578
“…” Betty stammered and faltered in the face of Landon’s threatening presence. She took
a step back in fear.
“Seems like you’re pretty forgetful. I’ll give you a final warning in front of your servants,”
Landon remarked with hostility.
He continued, “Lauren is important to me. Whoever bullies her will be going against me
and the Harper family!”
His words resonated throughout the hall, causing Betty to break into a sweat and turn
pale. Without Javier and Sophia around, she had no backup at all.
“You’ve been fortunate not because of your status as a Beckett but because you haven’t

He issued a
stern warning. “Don’t you fucking try me. I will not hold back even if we are family

He squinted at the staircase when he spoke. Sophia sensed his chilling glare and retreated
in alarm.
Wait a minute. Why was she panicking? She held the position of matriarch within the
Beckett family, and

Landon’s eyes glimmered. He effortlessly scooped up Lauren and strode out of the villa,
paying no heed
to the looks of the servants.
“Landon Harper, you cannot leave with her! She’s a Beckett. How can you bring her with
you? Have your asked my parents for their permission?” Betty yelled at him. The last thing
she wanted was for Landon to
leave with Lauren-she’d lose sleep if that happened!
‘I’d like to bring Lauren with me. She wants to come with me too. What’s the problem

and stopped me if she were against it.”

Betty felt like she was being struck by lightning upon hearing that. Landon took the
chance and left with
Lauren without turning back.
The chilly winds rustled around them. Landon might be rash and impulsive in his daily life,
but he was exceptionally attentive when it came to caring for Lauren.
He continuously rubbed his palm on her arms to warm her up. She nestled against his
sturdy chest, placing her trust in him.
A lump formed in his throat. He cherished the feeling of being trusted.
Angelina, pleased to see Landon leaving with Lauren, courteously held the car door open
for them.
As Landon was about to step into the car with Lauren, Nina stumbled out of the villa and
called out to
him, “Mr. Harper, please wait!”
