Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1733

Cornelius asked, "That lady from the Beckett family has a mental condition?"

"That's right, Grandpa." A vicious look flashed across Zoe's gleaming eyes. She continued, "She and the entire Beckett family have been hiding Lauren's condition from you all along. She actually has severe autism. In other words, she is mentally disabled.

"I was in the same middle school as her. At that time, other classmates would call her 'dumb' and 'idiot' behind her back. She also quit her tertiary studies halfway because of her condition."

"No wonder I've always felt that there was something strange about her every time I met her. Despite being 21… or is it 22? Her mind is still like a child's. Turns out that it's because of her mental problem!

"As expected, Sophia's offspring is indeed problematic! Even though she died, she still left her retarded daughter to wreck my precious grandson!"

Cornelius started coughing. He was so consumed by anger that he started to feel unwell. He coughed continuously until his face had flushed red.

Zoe helped to soothe his back immediately. "Deep breaths, Grandpa. Watch your health!"

"Landon… Does he know about that woman's condition?"

"Landon is well aware."

Cornelius became even more enraged. More than that, he couldn't wrap his head around it. "He still wants to marry her even though he knows about it? He's out of his mind! Isn't he afraid that their children would also be mentally impaired?

"I really don't understand it. As my grandson, he can have any woman he likes. Why is he so fixated on a dumbo?"

"Landon is being tricked by Lauren's naivete. He has had so much fun with glamorous women in the past that he's now unable to stop himself after getting a taste of something plain," Zoe remarked in a scornful tone.

Cornelius' eyes became bloodshot from fury. He hit his palms against the couch's armrest repeatedly. "The entire Beckett family is a bunch of swindlers! They think that they can shove their undesirable daughter into our family… In their dreams!

"As long as I'm around, I will never let that woman marry into our family! I will go and meet Newton first thing tomorrow morning and break this marriage off!"

"I'm afraid that won't be a good idea, Grandpa."

Zoe knelt down on one knee next to Cornelius. She held his trembling hands and comforted him. "If you go to Mr. Beckett Senior in such haste, Landon will hear about it immediately.

"You should already know what his personality is like. If he finds out, he will surely cause a ruckus. He's also such good friends with Mr. Beckett. With him siding with outsiders, we will end up being the ones at a loss."
