Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 694

Chapter 694 

Dressed extravagantly, Zoe looked like some prissy princess beside Penelope. She was no longer the 

meek, tearful little girl she used to be in front of Landon. 

When she saw Lauren, her gaze turned dark and hateful, as if she wanted nothing more than to lunge at 

Lauren right now. 

“Let me introduce you, Mom.” Zoe’s smile didn’t reach her eyes. 

“This is Ms. Lauren Beckett from the Beckett family. She was my classmate in middle school. She’s now 

Landon’s girlfriend. Hahaha… isn’t that such a coincidence?” 

Lauren’s heart pricked painfully upon hearing the term ‘girlfriend’. 

She looked down at her feet, face flushing red. Her low self-esteem hit her like a brick, making her pull her 

hand away from Landon’s grip. 

But Landon held on tight, as if he were able to read her mind. 

“Are you done, Zoe?” Landon said, a hint of anger in his tone. 

Zoe grinned, using her mother as a defense. “Why so angry, Landon? Am I wrong? 

“Or do you plan to keep Ms. Lauren out here to yourself forever because you don’t dare to take her home 

to face Mom? 

“You know yourself that she’s nothing more than a mentally-ill little girl, that she’ll never be fit to become 

Mrs. Harper, right?” 

“Shut up, Zoe!” Landon roared, unable to stand his lover being insulted. 

Behind him, Angelina’s hand balled into fists. 

“Look at you.” Zoe snickered. 

“Would you be so angry if I wasn’t right?” 

“I have no time to argue with you.” Landon wasn’t going to yell at his sister in front of his mother. 

He swallowed his anger and said sternly, “Lauren, let’s go.” 

“Wait.” 

This time, Penelope was the one who had spoken. 

Landon stopped in his steps, his grip tightening around Lauren’s hand. 

Penelope slowly walked up to the two of them, a faint smile on her lips. It was this smile that made 

Landon relax his guard. 

However, the moment Penelope went up to Lauren, her gaze suddenly grew frigid. 

She raised her hand and slapped Lauren right across her cheek. 

“Ow!” Lauren’s head flung to the side, her cheek stinging as tears welled in her eyes. 

“What are you doing, Mom?” Shock flitted across Landon’s eyes as he glared at his mother, rage. 

overwhelming his senses. 

Angelina angrily gnawed on her lip. She couldn’t do anything inappropriate before Penelope since she was 

only a subordinate in the Harper household. 

Penelope ignored her son and coldly glared at Lauren as the latter wept. 

“Don’t think I’ll allow you to be with my son just because you’re from the Beckett family. Your sister is 

already crossed out in my books. 

“What makes you think I would accept someone as mentally ill as you to become my son’s wife? Dream 

on!” 

“Stop it! I won’t let you hurt Lauren!” Landon yelled, standing in front of Lauren defensively. 

Rage and hatred burned in his eyes. His hands balled into tight fists, as if he might hurt Penelope at any 

moment. 

“If… you still want me to call you mother!”
