Mandy, however, led with a statement that was not quite in line with her identity but perfectly reflected her current sentiment. "I'm truly disgusted."
Javier's eyebrow twitched fiercely. "What did you say?"
"Mr. Javier, I must admit you're indeed favored by God. You're a true lucky one."
Mandy gracefully took her seat and took a sip of her coffee. "Otherwise, with just your intellect, it would be impossible to grow your business this big."
"You…" Javier glared at her indifferent face, his throat tightening with anger.
But he was a person of high status. If he were to retaliate, it would make him look like a shrew.
"Our family is more open-minded. As parents, we don't interfere too much in our children's marriages. I didn't have much contact with Lauren before, but my son likes her. As a mother, isn't it natural for me to support my son?"
Mandy continued, "Plus, the family you picked for Lauren is really disappointing. I just pressured them a little, and they immediately backed out of the engagement.
"It shows that the Hodgsons are all about chasing after fame and money. Wouldn't the Beckett family, being the richest in Solana City, be embarrassed to have them as in-laws?"
These words struck a chord with Newton, who nodded vigorously.
"If what you said is true, that I did this at Lyse's arrangement, then I wouldn't have bothered coming again when I heard that both families had called off the engagement."
Mandy calmly continued, "I came to visit again because I also really like Lauren. My desire to see Lauren is just as strong as Cyrus'."
"Mom..." Cyrus felt a warm rush in his chest, and a blush crept up to his ears.
Lauren slowly opened her eyes. Her sparkling gaze was filled with gratitude as she looked at Mandy.
"Javier, what you said earlier was too much. Quickly apologize to Mrs. Taylor!" Newton stared coldly at Javier, clearly displeased.
Javier pursed his lips, clenching his teeth with resentment. He couldn't bring himself to apologize.
For him to apologize to the Taylors would be a disgrace.

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...
