Alyssa felt her chest tighten. She motioned at Sean to come over before pressing Silas, "Are you sure?"
"Mayor Hodgson has always been prudent. He won't make things public unless it's been confirmed. That's how he managed to enjoy a smooth political career." Silas' tone took a turn. "That's why I believe the news is true. Lyse, is this an arranged marriage? Is Lauren willing to marry a man she doesn't love? Will she be happy?"
The idea of Lauren agreeing to it was preposterous. Something was fishy.
"Grandpa and Javier aren't satisfied with Landon, but they hate Harper Group even more. Even so, Lauren shouldn't marry Freddy Hodgson!"
"Lyse, do you know Mayor Hodgson's son?"
Lyse cracked her fingers angrily. "You can tell he's not a good egg just by looking at that bastard's face."
Silas and Sean grew speechless.
"Anyway, thanks for giving me the huge update. I'll make your favorite beef Wellington when I'm back home."
After the call, Alyssa took a few deep breaths to gather herself. She turned to Sean. "Sean, what's up?"
"Ms. Alyssa, you wanted me to keep tabs on Betty Beckett. Our men tailed her until she arrived at the international airport in Zinfonia. She was picked up from the airport and is now in Mosgravia."
Sean continued with a stern look in his eyes. "Zinfonia is a poor and chaotic country, while Mosgravia is a developed country with plenty of entertainment. I bet someone couldn't bear to see Betty suffer and secretly had her transported to Mosgravia."
"It can only be Javier's action. He probably felt bad for Betty and, at the same time, wanted to create trouble for Jasper." Alyssa seemed rather distracted because of Lauren, who was currently in trouble.

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...
Just wonder what happened to publish 7 chap/day...
