Betty covered the receiver with her hand. Even though she was furious, she still tried to act sneakily.
"Just a little while ago, Landon came to my house to propose marriage. Initially, my father wasn't in agreement. Then, Alyssa and Jasper showed up with Grandpa!
"With a few words, Grandpa gave my father an earful. He even sealed the deal on Lauren's marriage with Landon! They are going to be engaged soon! Surely Landon will knock that idiot up right after.
"What use would there be for you to come back after that? Are you going to celebrate becoming an aunt?"
There was silence on the other end of the call.
"Hey! Say something…"
"Don't you worry. I'm not the only one among the Harpers who does not wish to see Lauren marrying Landon. A marriage alliance between wealthy families may seem like a strong alliance, but in reality, it is full of weaknesses. A small misstep is enough to make everything fall through.
"Jasper and Alyssa are hopeless romantics. How many more individuals of this sort are there in the world? Landon? Hah, that would be a joke," Zoe sniggered without hesitation.
That said, there was one thing that she couldn't deny—Jasper and Alyssa's love was steadfast. The love they shared was unseen and unheard of in Solana City.
Before Betty could respond, Zoe continued, "One more thing. You didn't even get to have a funeral for your mother. You must be bored to death. Freddy came to Yoarkley to see me recently.
"How about you come over and spend some time with me? I can pay for your expenses if you're short on cash. You have a private plane, right? If not, I can pay for your flight, too."
Betty was enraged with embarrassment.
Earlier, she had been ridiculed for failing to find a husband. On the very same day, she got mocked for being poor. She wished that she could destroy the entire world.
"That Freddy is your lapdog. Others might not know it, but I do. Why would I fly over to where you are? I'll just end up watching you both being lovey-dovey with one another."

The readers' comments on the novel: Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
I am trying to figure out why an author writes one page and it is suppose to be a chapter and then the author gets the audience hooked on the story and just drags it on. Follow the rules please, and at least give the 7 chapters daily. Two chapters every other day is a waste of time. Or just release the book and give us the option to buy it....
Ughhh…can we get more pleeeease! I’m so into this book and literally check daily for updates but it’s only two pages at most. Can you at least do 4 pages a night 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽...
More chapters please the 7 chapters/day would be nice, TY...
Where can i download the remaining chapters?...
Why are we literally only getting one chapter a day?!? I mean can we at least get 4 or something? Irritating🙄...
Hello, more chapters please. It has been over 1 week since we have received 7 chapters. Thank you...
