Chapter 694

Dressed extravagantly, Zoe looked like some prissy princess beside Penelope. She was no longer the meek, tearful little girl she used to be in front of Landon.

When she saw Lauren, her gaze turned dark and hateful, as if she wanted nothing more than to lunge at

Lauren right now.

"Let me introduce you, Mom." Zoe's smile didn't reach her eyes.

"This is Ms. Lauren Beckett from the Beckett family. She was my classmate in middle school. She's now

Landon's girlfriend. Hahaha... isn't that such a coincidence?"

Lauren's heart pricked painfully upon hearing the term 'girlfriend'.

She looked down at her feet, face flushing red. Her low self-esteem hit her like a brick, making her pull her hand away from Landon's grip.

But Landon held on tight, as if he were able to read her mind.

"Are you done, Zoe?" Landon said, a hint of anger in his tone.

Zoe grinned, using her mother as a defense. "Why so angry, Landon? Am I wrong?

"Or do you plan to keep Ms. Lauren out here to yourself forever because you don't dare to take her home

to face Mom?

"You know yourself that she's nothing more than a mentally-ill little girl, that she'll never be fit to become

Mrs. Harper, right?"

"Shut up, Zoe!" Landon roared, unable to stand his lover being insulted.

Behind him, Angelina's hand balled into fists.

"Look at you." Zoe snickered.

"Would you be so angry if I wasn't right?"

"I have no time to argue with you." Landon wasn't going to yell at his sister in front of his mother.

He swallowed his anger and said sternly, "Lauren, let's go." Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ FɪndNovᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Wait."

This time, Penelope was the one who had spoken.

Landon stopped in his steps, his grip tightening around Lauren's hand.

Penelope slowly walked up to the two of them, a faint smile on her lips. It was this smile that made

Landon relax his guard.

However, the moment Penelope went up to Lauren, her gaze suddenly grew frigid.

She raised her hand and slapped Lauren right across her cheek.

"Ow!" Lauren's head flung to the side, her cheek stinging as tears welled in her eyes.

"What are you doing, Mom?" Shock flitted across Landon's eyes as he glared at his mother, rage.

overwhelming his senses.

Angelina angrily gnawed on her lip. She couldn't do anything inappropriate before Penelope since she was only a subordinate in the Harper household.

Penelope ignored her son and coldly glared at Lauren as the latter wept.

"Don't think I'll allow you to be with my son just because you're from the Beckett family. Your sister is already crossed out in my books.

"What makes you think I would accept someone as mentally ill as you to become my son's wife? Dream

on!"

"Stop it! I won't let you hurt Lauren!" Landon yelled, standing in front of Lauren defensively.

Rage and hatred burned in his eyes. His hands balled into tight fists, as if he might hurt Penelope at any

moment.

"If... you still want me to call you mother!"

Zoe was shocked to silence.

She had thought using her mother would be the thing to make Landon surrender.

After all, everyone in Solana City knew just how much of a mother's boy Landon was. He may be a rebel,

but he always abided by his mother's instructions.

That was why Zoe had never imagined Landon would threaten to cut off their mother for Lauren.

What in the world was happening?

"You... you're abandoning me, your own mother, all for this little retard?" Penelope gasped, chest heaving painfully.

"She's not a retard! I love her!" Landon's voice shook, filled with fervent love.

"I love Lauren. I want no one else but her. If you insult or hurt her again, then... then you're renouncing me,

your son."

"Are you out of your mind, Landon? You're... you're turning your back on your own mother, all for this

woman? For her?"
