NovelEnglishBetty's face at this moment was even paler than a sheet.
Asking her to apologize to that dumbo on her knees was a fate worse than death.
She immediately looked toward Newton, but his face was full of anger. He didn't even bother to make eye contact with her. It seemed he was determined to abandon her.
Seeing Newton ignore her completely, she then kneeled before Javier. She clung to his legs, pleading desperately with tears streaming down her face, "Dad! | know | was wrong... I'll never do it again.
"Exilingfrom Solana City and not allowingto be by your side is already cruel punishment! I'm your daughter too. Don't | deserve any respect? Will he only be satisfied when he drivesto my death? Dad!" Her desperate cry sounded like she was the one being bullied.

Frowning, Javier wanted to pull her up. After all, it was quite undignified to have so many helpers watching this scene. But Betty clung to his legs like a parasite. He probably couldn't kick her off, even if he tried.
"Jasper, the punishment you proposed is already severe enough. Let's skip the apology," Javier said. Even though his words sounded like a negotiation, his tone was commanding.
Jasper's dark eyes glinted with a piercing coldness as he pressed his lips into a thin line.
A spark flickered in Betty's tear-filled eyes, a sudden rekindling of hope in the depths of her despair. Perhaps Javier still saw her as his daughter, offering a sliver of mercy.
After the storm passed and Newton's anger subsided, she would still have a chance to return to Solana City and live her carefree days.
Just as Betty was secretly delighted, Jasper's cold voice rang out, "She handed Lauren's report over to treacherous people, exposing her condition to everyone and hurting her so deeply. And you want to resolve this matter quietly? No way." "Jasper, just because you're the CEO doesn't mean you can do whatever you want!" Javier's eyes were red. He was clearly angry. "I'm your father. You have to listen to me!" "Betty is your daughter, but isn't Lauren as well? You're biased, letting the innocent Lauren suffer mentally while constantly forgiving Betty, who committed such a crime." Jasper's words were sharp. Smirking, he continued, "By doing this, aren't you disregarding Grandpa's anger? How is this any different from slapping him in the face?" If Javier wanted to use his father's status to suppress him, then Jasper would use Newton's revered status to counter—everything could be countered, after all.
"You...!" Javier was so enraged by the counterattack that his breathing turned erratic.
Although Newton remained silent, the firm look in his eyes when he gazed at Jasper clearly indicated his strong support for him.
"You're right. Both Betty and Lauren are my daughters! As a fathe I can't stand see my two dadghiers fighting each other. We're family.

This cycle of retaliation must end!" Javier's eyes were full of disdain as he continued, "Moreover, | don't want to see my daughters fighting over Landon, that womanizer!
"My daughters may not be perfect, but they're Solana City's most noble heiresses. What is Landon ? He's nothing but an ignorant, spoiled brat! He's not fit to be my son-in-law!" Jasper's eyes narrowed, and his hands clenched into fists beneath his exquisite sleeves.
If this man weren't his father, he would have hit him so hard.
Javier continued, shifting the blame onto Landon, ‘I raised my daughters with the utmost care. Yet Lagren lived with that brat for so long without any proper status. And on top of that, those Harpers had the audacity to hurt her! | haven't even settled that score, and now this family turmoil!"
