Chapter 637
Betty was silently trembling with rage beside Lauren, her lips twitching. She wanted
nothing more than to
tear at Lauren’s face right now.
This fucking bitch! Did she really think that she could do as she pleased just because
Landon was
protecting her?
Betty thought menacingly, “I going to kill you if it’s the last thing I do!”
Though Sophia had insisted on a low-profile celebration, she had still allowed the media to
get word of it.
After all, she needed it like a fish needed water.
The reporters were pa

she arrived, though she remained behind a circle of bodyguards as she walked into the
hotel, looking like
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsome kind of big shot.
“Mrs. Beckett!”
“Madam Sophia!”
The reporters cried, snapping all the photos they could get of her and her family.
Javier was displeased with this turn of events but remained indifferent before the
reporters.
“Your family has arrived for your wife’s birthday celebration, Mr. Javier, but why isn’t Mr.
Jasper here?” A
reporter asked.
After all, it would be unbecoming of a reporter not to get a little nosy.
“Jasper’s occupied, so he had to skip tonight’s event,” Javier replied lightly, nodding at the

their schedules when planning tonight’s celebration.”
“Did you say ‘guests?” the reporter asked.
They shot looks at one another before someone asked, “We’ve been standing here for two
hours but

That couldn’t be! She had clearly invited over a hundred quests two weeks ago, and most
of them had
agreed to attend!
Had they not come?
Sophia forced another smile, though she was as tense as a pulled howstring right now.
“Why don’t we head inside first? Javier urged quietly.
They walked to the hotel’s entrance, where two of the staff opened the grand doors for
them.
The moment they did, both Javier and Sophia’s expressions froze on their faces. Sophia’s
face turned
white as a sheet. She had to bite her lip to keep from screaming out.
