Chapter 579
As a secretary cum bodyguard, Angelina frowned at Nina’s appearance and instantly
shielded Landon. Nina approached them and fell on her knees, rendering them
dumbfounded.
“Mr. Harper, would you please help Ms. Lauren? Could you?” Nina pleaded in tears as she
knelt on the
cold ground.
“Angelina, help her up.” Landon ordered. “Stand up, and we’ll talk.”
Angelina attempted to help Nina up, but Nina shook her head and refused to do so. She
begged, “I won’t

you promise to help Ms. Lauren. I may be a humble servant, but I’ll use my limited power
to help her just this once!”
Landon’s heart grew heavy, and he demanded to know, “What is going on?”
Nina wiped away her tears and shuffled up to Landon. Then, she gingerly rolled up
Lauren’s sleeve. Landon and Angelina were stunned by what they saw next.
Lauren’s pal
arm was full of old and new bruises alike, enough to shatter anyone’s heart. Landon’s eyes
flared with anger, and his muscles tensed beneath his shirt.
He hissed, “Who did this to her?” Despite his anger, he went straight to the point.
Angelina recoiled at Landon’s reaction. Knowing him well, she knew he must be really
angry when he
spoke in curt sentences.
“It’s… It’s Ms. Betty’s doing!” Nina blurted out without consideration. “Ms. Betty has been
bullying Ms. Lauren at home. She thinks she can do so because she’s the favorite child of
her parents. She’s been hitting and cursing at Ms. Lauren like a devil!
“When Mr. Jasper is at home, Ms. Betty will hold back because she’s afraid of him. But he
rarely visits home due to his demanding job. He can’t do much for Ms. Lauren either.”
Landon’s frown deepened. Angelina’s fists involuntarily clenched.
“Mr. Harper, you’re Mr. Jasper’s closest friend. I can see you care for Ms. Lauren. Can you
help her and protect her?” Nina cried uncontrollably.

Landon inhaled sharply and promised, “Okay, I promise you.” He cast a determined gaze
upon his arms, feeling the weight of responsibility on his shoulders.

With that, Landon whisked Lauren away from Seaview Manor, but not before humiliating
Betty in front of
the household staff.
The incident might have occurred behind closed doors, but Betty sensed that her authority
had been
undermined.
Why? Betty was envious that even Lauren, whom she considered lesser in appearance,
family background, and talents, had found herself a guardian angel.
She couldn’t fathom the reason Landon snubbed her for a mentally challenged woman.
Furious, she took out her anger on Nina. Not only did she order Nina to clean all the
manor’s washrooms that night, but she also docked Nina’s year-end bonus.
“That’s enough. Your expression now is worse than that Alyssa bitch. It’s no surprise that
Landon isn’t interested in you. Frankly, I am not fond of how you look now either.”
