The video capturing Sophia and Betty at Nina’s funeral went viral online. One wondered if Jonah influenced the narrative or if the
reporters had ganged up against Sophia because of the absence of scenes featuring Alyssa and Jasper.
Instead, the footage showcased Rosie’s accusations against Sophia and Nina’s grandmother’s soup attack.
Alyssa and Jasper’s divorce should have been more sensational news than maid abuse allegations against Sophia. Still, cowed
by the pressures exerted by Jonah and Jasper, no reporter dared broach the subject of the divorce to protect their career.
Despite brief online gossip regarding Alyssa and Jasper’s secret marriage, the discussion soon died down after all the media
attention on Sophia’s behavior.
The netizens turned the photo of Sophia drenched in soup into a gif and shared it online. Not only that, but it was also
transformed into various jokes and puns. The situation spiraled beyond the control of the Beckett Group’s PR team.
“ROFL! I can’t wait for more Sophia Kirkman scandals! Living for it!”
“She deserves jail for exploiting someone’s death and mistreating her staff.”
“Like mother, like daughters. Bet her two girls are no better.”
“Eldest daughter’s a real piece of work, but the second one keeps a low profile. She might be alright.”
“A woman like Sophia Kirkman can’t raise a decent daughter. They’re all cut from the same cloth!”
reputation plummeted, and Betty, who had her fair share of scandals, suffered a blow to her standing, all due to her mother’s
actions.
However, Sophia and Betty’s reputational damage failed to satisfy Alyssa and Jasper. They wanted to utterly ruin Sophia and
Betty’s lives.
After Landon was done with work and making arrangements for Jasper, he headed home to say goodbye to Lauren.
In the car, he scrolled through the comments on Twitter and event created an alternative account to argue with the netizens who
had involved Lauren in the scandal.
It was amusing to see the arrogant Landon Harper engaging in petty arguments for the sake of his beloved wife.
Trembling, the driver wiped away his sweat and tried to focus on driving. Suddenly, Landon yelped, “Angie!”
The driver paled and responded with fear, “M-Mr. Landon, you made Angie look after Madam Lauren at the villa. She’s not here.”
“Oh, fuck. I forgot,” Landon replied, rubbing his forehead and sighing.
Those who worked for Landon had been instructed to address Lauren as “Madam”.
Landon had even planned to transfer half of his stock ownership and all his properties in Solana City under Lauren’s name. It

It was not purely out of his loyalty to Jasper; he made the decision for his benefit because he refused to have a bitch for a
mother-in-law. Why would he want a ticking time bomb in his marriage?
Unable to contain his impatience, Landon called Angelina. “Angie, monitor online comments! Catch anyone speaking ill of
Lauren, and I’ll beat them to a pulp. I’ll sue those netizens gossiping about her, too!
“I have been on it without you mentioning it. Just like you, I do not wish to see Madam Lauren harmed by the scandal,” Angelina
replied.
Having worked under Landon for many years, she knew his character and thoughts well.
“Excellent work! I’ll increase your bonus later.” Landon nodded with satisfaction.
