Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1799

"I don't need that bastard to make a sound! I will not allow Lauren to marry into that hellhole!" In an angry voice, Newton instructed Ben, "Ben… Make it known that the Beckett Group will not have any business relations with the Harper Group moving forward!

"If I find out that any of our business partners have any association with Harper Group, we will not partner with them anymore! We shall see if there's anyone else who still doesn't understand our stance!"

Ben nodded seriously. "On it, Mr. Newton!"

"Grandpa." Jasper frowned. He walked to Alyssa's side with an air of frigidity around him. "Landon is here. He's right outside. He wants to see you and Lauren."

"Tell him to scram!" Newton waved.

Alyssa and Jasper looked at each other helplessly. They were aware that Newton didn't actually hate Landon.

However, it was true that he hadn't protected her properly. It was also a fact that he was Cornelius' grandson. Undeniably, he would feel some resentment.

"I'm afraid that he will never leave if he doesn't get to see you and Lauren," Jasper spoke up in a deep voice.

Newton continued to stare at Lauren and didn't say another word.

It was obvious what his stance was.

…

In the courtyard of the villa, the air was tense. That night, there was a sudden drop in the temperature. The rain continued to fall and the coldness was chilling to the bone.

Landon stood in the rain resolutely. His pale face was whiter than snow.

He was only wearing a thin suit. After standing there for over an hour, his hair and body were drenched. He felt as if countless nails were being driven into his muscles and his bones.

He had assigned Jordan to deal with the aftermath of the incident.

Angelina, on the other hand, had insisted on coming over with Landon after she cleaned up her wound briefly. She didn't mind if she wasn't able to meet Lauren on this night. She was satisfied by just being able to watch over her from afar.

After waiting in silence for a long while, Landon's entire body had become stiff and numb. Then, he saw a pair of charming figures approaching them with an open umbrella.

Jasper put his arm around Alyssa's waist. He continued in a warm voice, "I'm sure that Lauren will feel a lot better when she wakes up and sees that you're fine. You want to be by her side too, don't you?"

"Thank you… Thank you, Mr. Jasper. Thank you, Ms. Alyssa." Angelina bowed deeply. Tears started streaming down her cold cheeks silently.

Sean walked over. Upon receiving Alyssa's instruction, he showed Angelina the way into the villa.

"Mr. Landon…" Angelina longed to see Lauren, but she couldn't bear to leave Landon standing right here either. Anxiousness flashed across her eyes and she found herself in a dilemma.

"Go ahead. It's more important that you keep Lauren company," Landon said. His voice was extremely raspy.

Angelina followed Sean's lead and left the courtyard.

Right after they left, Alyssa pulled herself away from Jasper's embrace. She ran toward Landon in the rain.

She glared at him through her bloodshot eyes. All of a sudden, she grabbed him by his drenched collar.
