Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1794

Lauren's lips were pale and her eyes were red and swollen. With much difficulty, she opened her mouth to speak and only managed to make a sound after a while.

"Landon… What took you so long? What took you so long… So long…"

Every single time she questioned him in that weak voice of hers, Landon felt like he was being shot in the heart. He was consumed by regret and suffering. He tried to answer her. But he was unable to get a single word out.

"Something bad happened to Angie. Angie… Will she die?"

Lauren thought about the image that she saw on the screen. In an instant, her eyes widened in fear and her entire body started convulsing in Landon's arms.

Landon was scared out of his wits. Even every breath pained him. He answered, "No… Angelina will be fine. I'll take you to the hospital immediately, Lauren!"

…

Simultaneously, the board meeting was dismissed after such a big ruckus.

Only Cornelius and Preston were left in the meeting room.

"See, Dad? That lady from the Beckett family is a complete psycho."

Despite being so beaten up that his entire face was swollen, Preston was still smearing Lauren. He clenched his teeth and continued, "It would be so unlucky for us if a woman like that married into our family!

"In the future, all of Solana City will be saying that we are the Beckett family's lapdog. They will say that we were willing to suck up to them just to get their sick daughter to marry into our family. How fucking disgusting is that?"

Cornelius wore a serious expression, his lips downturned in a clear sign of displeasure. He agreed with what Preston had said.

"Dad, today's board meeting was such an important one. I can't believe that Landon abandoned everyone here just to look for that crazy woman!

"What does he think the board meeting is for? Did he even show you any respect? Do you think that he's worthy of the position as the company's president?" Preston asked angrily.
