Landon's suit was drenched in sweat. The color drained from his face when he heard Lauren's cruel words. How could she advise him to let go of the unforgettable memories with such ease?
At that moment, they heard a jarring honking sound. Heart sinking, Lauren turned around and found a vehicle's high beam in her face.
Rory got out of the car and politely opened the car door for Javier, who was clad in leisure wear. Javier got out of the car as well, seemingly woken up from his sleep.
"Lauren, what did you promise me?" Standing in the lights, Javier said sternly, "Didn't you promise me never to meet anyone from the Harper family? Why are you giving me trouble? Are you going to follow in Jasper's footsteps as well? Is Jasper a bad influence on you?"
Jasper was Lauren's Achilles' heel. She was instantly reminded of Javier's conversation with him that night.
"Dad, please don't blame this on Jasper. Life's been difficult for him over the years. He's sacrificed too much for his work, so please do not blame him."
"I dislike people who don't listen to me, and Jasper is the prime example. I have been keeping it to myself because I needed him to manage the company for me. That's how I turned him into an arrogant and disrespectful brat!
"Now that Justin is recovering, he will return to Solana City once his health markers have stabilized. I could replace Jasper with Justin in managing the company. Without Jasper around to anger me, I might even live a few years longer."
"Dad, don't replace Jasper. Please!"
"I will reconsider keeping Jasper around if you listen to me and agree to the marriage with Freddy Hodgson."
…
"Lauren, come to Dad." Javier extended an arm to his daughter with a flat expression. Lauren lowered her gaze and dragged herself toward him.
"Lauren Beckett, come back!" Eyes ablaze with anger, Landon yelled at her, but she did not turn around at all.

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🙄...
