As a secretary cum bodyguard, Angelina frowned at Nina's appearance and instantly shielded Landon. Nina approached them and fell on her knees, rendering them dumbfounded.
"Mr. Harper, would you please help Ms. Lauren? Could you?" Nina pleaded in tears as she knelt on the cold ground.
"Angelina, help her up," Landon ordered. "Stand up, and we'll talk."
Angelina attempted to help Nina up, but Nina shook her head and refused to do so. She begged, "I won't get up unless you promise to help Ms. Lauren. I may be a humble servant, but I'll use my limited power to help her just this once!"
Landon's heart grew heavy, and he demanded to know, "What is going on?"
Nina wiped away her tears and shuffled up to Landon. Then, she gingerly rolled up Lauren's sleeve. Landon and Angelina were stunned by what they saw next.
Lauren's pale arm was full of old and new bruises alike, enough to shatter anyone's heart. Landon's eyes flared with anger, and his muscles tensed beneath his shirt.
He hissed, "Who did this to her?" Despite his anger, he went straight to the point.
Angelina recoiled at Landon's reaction. Knowing him well, she knew he must be really angry when he spoke in curt sentences.
"It's … It's Ms. Betty's doing!" Nina blurted out without consideration. "Ms. Betty has been bullying Ms. Lauren at home. She thinks she can do so because she's the favorite child of her parents. She's been hitting and cursing at Ms. Lauren like a devil!
"When Mr. Jasper is at home, Ms. Betty will hold back because she's afraid of him. But he rarely visits home due to his demanding job. He can't do much for Ms. Lauren either."

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...
