Chapter 1528 Sophia's heart quivered in the face of Lauren's painful accusations.

She hated Jasper, but she admitted that he was good to Lauren, better than she'd ever treated Lauren.

Thinking back, Jasper didn't seem as despicable as he had seemed. Too bad there could only be one Mrs. Beckett.

Javier had made Anne her rival.

"Jasper never hated me or treated me badly even though I'm your daughter.

He and Alyssa treat me like their sister.

They show me love and care that I would otherwise never have the chance to experience. I owe them a lot. How could you be so cruel to him?" Lauren was no fool. She understood that Sophia was a selfish woman, and she knew how coldly Sophia had treated her. For that, she had grappled with self-blame and low self-esteem.
