However, Lauren and Landon still held each other's hands. Everything could still start anew.
"Dad, I don't have any objections to Lauren and Landon's marriage anymore."
Sitting upright, Javier continued seriously, "In the next few days, I'll have Rory draw up a list of wedding gifts. Although the Harper family has few members left, I want a splendid wedding for my daughter.
"Now that Landon is the chairman of Harper Group, Lauren will be the rightful chairwoman when she marries him. If the gifts are not generous enough, those snobbish people of Harper Group might talk behind her back."
Newton remained indifferent. "Let the young people decide for themselves. You just need to accept it. Don't worry about the rest.
"Lauren has suffered severe trauma. That's not something that can be easily overcome. Just let them discuss the wedding on their own. Or they can register their marriage first to avoid indefinite postponement and further trouble."
As Javier reflected on how his love, originally intended solely for Lauren, had been divided over the years toward Sophia's illegitimate child, he felt anger, hatred, and guilt twisting in his heart. He didn't want his only daughter to suffer anymore.
"Alright, let's do as you say."
…
Feeling relieved after leaving Newton's ward, Javier noticed Jasper waiting for him outside the door.
"Do you need something?"
Jasper pressed his lips into a fine line before saying, "I just received news that Ronald had a sudden heart attack last night and died in prison."
Though frowning, Javier replied casually, "Well, it's good that that scum has finally met his end. He can reunite with Sophia in the underworld." He gritted his teeth, feeling intense hatred surging within him.
Jasper's expression was obscure. "Did you have a hand in this?"

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🙄...
