A deep and authoritative voice echoed from behind, and the chaotic scene suddenly fell silent.

Everyone froze for a moment, then quickly bowed. “Mr. Javier.”

“Dad?” Betty was momentarily flustered, standing there awkwardly.

It was only then that she noticed that Javier and Rory had appeared behind her.

She had thought Javier was away on a business trip. How did he suddenly return?

“What were you doing just now? Did you hit someone?” Javier questioned sternly, his eyes showing a hint of anger.

“Dad… Please listen to me. It’s all these servants’ fault!”

Betty immediately changed her expression to a pitiful one. She then ran over to hug Javier’s arm like an innocent bunny.

“They were talking behind my back and Mom’s back. They’re so disrespectful and out of line! We pay them, but they don’t even have basic professional ethics! Please, just fire them.”

“Is that the reason why you resorted to violence?”

Javier ignored her complaints and continued with a serious face.” Just because you’re the daughter of the Beckett family and they’re servants, does that give you the right to use violence?

“Have you forgotten all the etiquette and manners I taught you since you were little? Or have you always been like this in private, and I’m only seeing it today?”

“Dad… W-What are you talking about?”

Betty’s heart pounded nervously as she stared blankly at Javier. “They insulted Mom and me. Do you think I was wrong? How can you say that?”

However, no matter how she accused, Javier remained calm, seemingly unaffected.

At this moment, the servants approached, expressing their intention to leave.

Although Javier was the head of the Beckett Group, he treated even the most ordinary employees with kindness. He never trampled on the dignity of ordinary people just because he had power and influence.

Despite his many flaws, he still had the demeanor of a scion. This was the difference between a top wealthy family and nouveau riche.

“The orderly operation of Seaview Manor every day is because of all of your hard work. I’m very grateful for your hard work over the years. I hope you’ll not resign because of this. If you do, I don’t know where to find such good employees like you.

“Today’s matter is my daughter’s fault. I’ll have her apologize to you. Betty, apologize.” Javier glanced at Betty sternly.

“Dad… W-What did you say?”

Betty was so angry that her scalp tingled, almost blurting out the words, “Are you crazy?”

“Regardless of the situation, using violence is wrong. It goes against the etiquette I taught you and tarnishes the family’s reputation. Apologize now.”

Javier’s expression remained stern, giving Betty no room for negotiation.

Betty had no choice but to grit her teeth and apologize to the servants with a flushed face. “I’m sorry. I was wrong.”

For the arrogant Betty, who had always considered herself outstanding, this was an insult akin to having her bones pulled out.

At this moment, the servants bowed together. “Ms. Lauren.”

Javier turned in surprise, only to see Landon holding hands with Lauren as they walked side by side, resembling a newlywed couple. The sweet atmosphere was palpable, even to him.

Surprisingly, he found himself thinking they looked well-matched.

But what touched Javier even more was the way Landon looked at Lauren.

It was so affectionate, filled with intense and passionate emotions. He was all too familiar with that look.
