Sophia leisurely filed her red nails on the couch as she made the remark.
Amid Betty's outburst, she somehow felt that Sophia had been acting funny.
Usually, Sophia would have jumped in and defended Betty when the latter was humiliated at home. After all, Betty was Sophia's favorite daughter. Besides, Sophia would not tolerate anyone stepping all over her at the Becketts' residence.
However, Sophia's indifference was worrying. Betty wondered why Sophia had never intervened, especially when Sophia had clearly heard the commotion downstairs.
Sophia nagged at her, "Betty, I do not wish to see this happening again at home. Remember, Lauren is my daughter too. How could you hit her as her elder sister? If your dad and grandpa hear about this, they'll fault me for raising you poorly.
"You're 25 this year, but why do you carry yourself like a manic depressive? You keep saying Lauren is abnormal, but you're not better than her!"
Betty rushed up to Sophia, glowering as she asked, "Mom, I have a question. Did you witness Mr. Harper and I fighting on the first floor?"
Sophia arched her brow. "Yeah. Why?"
"So, you watched the entire time without stepping in to help me?" Betty snapped in anger. "I can understand you not helping me, but why did you let Landon take Lauren away?"
Sophia retorted with a smirk, "Why can't I?"
Betty was stunned by her mother's nonchalance and stammered, "Mom … You …"
"Even I have given up on Landon Harper. Haven't you? Tsk tsk, I wonder how a smart woman like me would give birth to a lovesick daughter," remarked Sophia, shaking her head in disdain.

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...
