Betty's relentless mocking made Lauren pale considerably. Her delicate frame shuddered even more. Lauren shut her eyes tightly, wringing her teddy bear until it was twisted out of shape. Only by doing this could she force herself not to think about those haunting memories.
"You couldn't become Mrs. Harper, but soon you will be Mrs. Hodgson, the mayor's daughter-in-law. It seems like congratulations are in order."
Betty flipped her hair, acting disgustingly pretentious like Sophia. "However, I'm not getting any wedding gifts for you."
"If you don't shut your mouth right now, I'm going to make your right ear completely deaf." Jasper's rage was evident from his scowl.
"But it's the truth, isn't it? She's going to marry into the Hodgson family. There's no point yelling at me like this."
Jasper stalked toward her menacingly like a prowling lion.
"Ah! Help! Dad, save me! Jasper is going to kill me!" Betty threw away all decorum and screamed at the top of her lungs.
"That's enough! What's all this fuss about?"
Javier was halfway down the stairs, glaring at the two of them. His expression was thunderous.
"Dad! Jasper was going to hit me… He keeps hitting women!"
Betty wailed, "I should just let him kill me!"
"Alright, alright!" Javier's brows were furrowed tightly. Her screams were hurting his ears. "Rory, send her to the airport right now!"
"Yes, Mr. Javier." Rory glanced at Betty coldly and said, "Let's go."
Betty gnashed her teeth and dragged her heavy luggage toward the door.
Javier's heart softened a little, and he ordered Rory gruffly, "Help Betty carry the luggage."
"Yes." Rory could only follow orders, so he took over Betty's luggage and went out.

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...
