Despite Landon's objections, Jasper brought an unconscious Lauren back to Crescent Bay.
The major incident had caused an uproar.
Newton's first reaction wasn't to grumble about Lauren embarrassing the Becketts. All he thought of was to bring his granddaughter back to his side to love and protect her. All he wanted was to shield her from the gossip coming from the outside world.
As Lauren had experienced a massive shock, she was injected with another shot of sedative.
With tears in his eyes, Newton watched as she slept soundly. Lauren looked as if nothing had even happened.
"Lauren… I'm the useless one. I wasn't able to protect you." Newton choked as he reached out with his trembling hands to caress Lauren's cheeks. He was filled with regret.
"Don't worry, Grandpa."
Alyssa's eyes were red and moist. "Lauren isn't just loved by you, but also by Jasper and I. Jasper and I will get to the bottom of this."
She clasped her hands together tightly and cracked her knuckles loudly. "I will find everyone who was involved in hurting Lauren like this. I will make sure that they pay a painful price!"
Alyssa never went back on her words. She always walked the talk.
"This is the Harper family's handiwork." Newton might be an elderly with a frail body, but he had a clear mind. He clenched his teeth and continued, "Even if they're not willing to have Lauren marry into their family… they still shouldn't abuse her like that!
"What's so big about the Harper Group that they dared to bully my granddaughter? I don't need you to take any action on this, Alyssa. I will handle it myself!"
Alyssa's chest tightened. She was worried about Lauren, but she was also worried that Newton's rage would take a toll on his health.
Ben knocked on the door and entered hurriedly. He had a concerned look in his eyes. "Mr. Newton, there's a call for you."
"I'm not available to talk to anyone. I'm spending time with Lauren!"
"It's Mr. Cornelius."
Newton's eyes reddened. He snatched the phone from Ben and put it to his ear. "Now that it has come to this, what else do you have to say?"
Cornelius sounded very friendly. "Mr. Newton, it's so heartbreaking that something like this happened. The person who exposed the video is so despicable that it sends chills down my spine!"

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...
