Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1752

Lauren couldn't bring herself to look at Freddy or respond to him. She just hunched her shoulders, wishing she could disappear like a wisp of smoke.

Landon's eyes grew even colder as he stared at Freddy's smiling face.

However, Freddy completely disregarded Landon's hostility. Instead, he extended his hand to Lauren. "Lauren, it's Freddy. We were in the same class in middle school. Do you remember me?"

Landon's gaze darkened, and he slapped away Freddy's hand. "I think my wife doesn't remember you."

The atmosphere became extremely tense.

Yet, Zoe secretly chuckled to herself. It would seem that provoking Landon and teasing Lauren was the source of all her happiness in life.

Freddy gripped his throbbing fingertips, and anger flashed in his eyes. Nonetheless, he quickly composed himself and fixed his gaze on Lauren. "Lauren, you got married to Mr. Landon? How come I didn't see any news about it?"

Just as Landon was about to answer, Zoe cut in, "Freddy, you've only recently returned, so there's a lot you don't know about. Landon and Lauren have been living together for a long time. Even if they're not officially married, they're already like a married couple."

She deliberately raised her voice in the second half of her statement.

The surrounding guests passing by heard her.

"What? The prestigious Beckett family's daughter is living with a man? Even if she lost her mother, isn't Mr. Javier still alive? How could he allow his daughter to live with a man without being married?"

"Oh, but this isn't any man. It's Mr. Landon, the future heir of Harper Group."

"So what if it's Mr. Landon? Isn't he a man? Besides, he is infamous for being a playboy in Solana City. If they've been living together for a long time without getting married, doesn't that imply that he's not interested in marrying her?

"Mr. Landon is a man with power and status. Even if he gets divorced many times, women would still be clamoring to be with him. But Ms. Lauren can't do that.

"When she gets older, she'll lose her worth, with her reputation ruined. So what if she's the daughter of the Beckett family? She'll probably end up marrying a man beneath her status."
