Within Solana City, Harper Group stood as an economic giant, second only to the domineering Beckett Group.
The skyscraper was tens of stories high and had more than a thousand rooms. Landon thought about how Lauren was being secretly locked in one of the rooms. He couldn't imagine the kind of fear and suffering that she was going through.
A tremor seized Landon's hands, all ten fingers vibrating uncontrollably. A white-hot ache lanced through his entire body, twisting and searing its way to his heart, threatening to rip it from his chest.
Preston was not going to reveal Lauren's location to him. He wanted to hide his most cherished treasure from him so that he could feel the pain in his heart. He wanted to aggravate and infuriate him. But what he really couldn't believe was…
Angelina was skilled. It wouldn't be a problem for her to go against ten or even 20 other people on her own. Moreover, she had a gun on her. She wouldn't hesitate to kill Preston's men on the spot at any crucial moment.
He couldn't understand how the weaklings under Preston were able to break into his house and get Lauren out, even under Angelina's watch. They even brought her to Harper Group without Landon finding out.
"Have you checked the surveillance footage?" Landon sprinted through the corridor. His throat felt dry and painful at the same time.
Jordan, his new secretary, followed closely behind him. Through gritted teeth, Jordan explained, "I have, but none of the surveillance captured Madam Lauren!
"This shows that the people who brought Madam Lauren to Harper Group are extremely familiar with the place. I'm sure that it was done by an internal party."
"I'm just afraid that it might've been a combined effort between internal and external parties!" Landon exclaimed in a raspy and furious tone.
As he dialed Angelina's number, he remarked, "Otherwise, Preston wouldn't even have such capability to do so."
Contrary to his expectation, Angelina's cell was off. Landon's chest tightened as he broke out in a cold sweat. The situation might be even worse than he had imagined.
"Jordan, gather all the manpower you can and search every single room! Whoever finds Lauren will be rewarded greatly!" Landon's order erupted from his throbbing chest in a shout. His pale lips trembled, and his breathing grew uneven. "Also, call the cops. Angelina is in danger!"
Jordan acknowledged immediately, "Got it, Mr. Landon!"
Carefully, Landon tried to recall the layout of the room where Lauren was being held.

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🙄...
