Landon was so angry that he gnashed his teeth so hard that it hurt.
The death of his father was the greatest source of pain in his life. He would feel a pang of pain just hearing his father's name. But now, Cornelius was using Bill's death to attack him, all for the sake of protecting Zoe.
It was a disgrace to Bill.
"Do you know that your mother fainted on the spot when she heard that Zoe was admitted to the emergency room? Luckily, the servants were there to catch her in time. Otherwise, if she had collapsed and hit her head, you might have lost her."
Cornelius continued, "Landon, I know you're close with Jasper and Alyssa, but never forget that you are a member of the Harper family. You're about to become Harper Group's president—my successor.
"At this crucial moment, you should focus on managing the company's affairs. Other matters don't need your attention."
Cornelius stared at Landon coldly. "I heard that you have already taken your girlfriend to propose to the Beckett family privately and have met with the Becketts."
Landon's heart skipped a beat.
"You haven't arranged for me to meet Mr. Javier because you wanted to wait until the appointment is official. By then, you'll have enough confidence to formally propose to the Beckett family."
When Cornelius noticed the change in Landon's expression, he knew he had the upper hand. He sat back leisurely in his chair.
"Mr. Javier is a man of high standards. He's renowned for being difficult to please in the business world of Solana City. If you want him to fully accept you as his son-in-law, you need to show sincerity. Don't you think so, Landon?"

In the hospital, Julien administered the medicine Jameson had sent to Winston right after he found out it was safe.
The next morning, amidst the anxious prayers and anticipation, Winston gradually woke up and opened his eyes.
"Dad!" Alyssa couldn't contain her excitement and rushed to hug Winston tightly.

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...
