Betty covered her mouth, utterly shaken. Despite being promiscuous herself, she would at least make sure to maintain her modesty in public.
Meanwhile, Zoe displayed no shame whatsoever. Not only was she openly enjoying herself with a man before her, but the sheer ecstasy on her face bordered on smugness!
How could a bitch like Zoe even dare to entertain thoughts of marrying Jasper and becoming the wife of Beckett Group's president? She was far from qualified!
Freddy was someone from a notable family. As such, he retained a sense of decorum despite his burning lust. The realization that they were being observed dampened his ardor.
"Zoe, I can't…"
Zoe harrumphed. "Useless piece of shit!"
In disdain, Zoe shoved Freddy into the water. She emerged from the water completely naked and retrieved a towel from a nearby chair. Then, she wrapped it around herself, covering only the essential parts, leaving little to the imagination.
Freddy was panicking in the water. As Zoe's ultimate lapdog, his first instinct was to immediately appease her.
However, Betty's presence made him reluctant to get out of the water.
"What's with all the screaming? Everyone in Solana City knows you're the most promiscuous, Ms. Betty. No need to act innocent and pure in front of me," Zoe remarked casually, retrieving a cigarette from her box and placing it between her lips. She lit it, taking a deep drag.
Despite her anger, Betty couldn't help but admire Zoe.
Back in their school days, Freddy had been Zoe's loyal follower. Betty couldn't believe he was still fixated on her even after nearly a decade had passed.
Although Harper Group was wealthy, it didn't have a clean background. Hence, officials weren't too keen on associating with them.
If Zoe could establish a connection with the Hodgsons, the Harpers would gain a powerful political ally. This could open doors for them to expand into new sectors, and who knew how far their business empire could reach then?
Betty clicked her tongue. "Don't tell me you summoned me here in the dead of the night just to watch you two go at it." She couldn't be bothered to put on a courteous front. She walked over angrily and sat down.
Zoe blew a cloud of smoke in her direction, causing Betty to cough. "Has that idiotic sister of yours returned to Seaview Manor?"
"Nope. Grandpa took her back with him."
"What's Mr. Beckett Senior's take on this?"
"I heard that he's pissed off. I'm guessing that Landon marrying Lauren will be a tall order," Betty remarked with a cold laugh, finding amusement in their predicament.
"Lauren's condition has been exposed, and her actions are being widely mocked online. None of the prominent families in Solana City would want such a woman in their midst.
"Lauren's a lost cause, and my father can't bear the shame of having his daughter marry beneath her station and become a laughingstock. Since she doesn't meet the expectations of the rich, he will be stuck looking after that useless daughter of his for the rest of his life!"
Betty laughed so hard that she teared up. She couldn't help but be reminded of how Sophia had placed all her hopes on Lauren when she was alive.

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🙄...
