Chapter 769
Javier and Sophia were home at Seaview Manor. He was checking the news on his phone with a sour
expression.
Despite enlisting the top PR team in the nation to handle the scandal between Jasper and Zoe, online
discussions showed no signs of abating.
As the president of the Beckett Group, Jasper’s reluctance to make a public appearance or issue a
statement only fueled speculations, tarnishing his reputation.
Meanwhile, Sophia sat at the dresser, applying hair care products to the long locks she had invested time
and money in over the years.
Back in the day when she slept with Javier to advance her career, Javier loved caressing her smooth and
silky hair during their intimacy.
“Come here, Javier,” she commanded, turning around to gesture at him.
“What’s the matter?” Javier replied, never once looking away from his phone.
“Come over. Touch my hair. I’ve been taking good care of them every day for you,” she purred with a
seductive twinkle in her eyes. “Touch it and let me know if it still feels the same as before.”
“Sophie,” he began, only to pause. He couldn’t bring himself to ask her if she was behind the attack on
Lyla.
Instead, he changed the subject. “Landon confessed to me and Dad about his love for Lauren.”
“What? When was that?” Sophia asked, standing up with a dumbstruck expression.
“He told us when he visited Jasper in the hospital with Lauren.”
Sophia clapped her hands joyfully. “That’s good news. Gosh! What does Dad think about it? He’s watched
Landon grow up, and we are close family friends with the Harpers. We also share the same social status.
I assume he’s supportive, isn’t he?”
“You were busy matchmaking Betty and Landon before this and never paid attention to Lauren’s matters. Why did you suddenly support the relationship?” questioned Javier coldly.
Sophia’s mind raced. She explained, “Javier, you make it sound like I don’t care about Lauren at all. She’s my daughter. Of course, I care for her.
“Well, too bad Betty and Landon are incompatible. They’re not meant to be. If Landon is interested in
good family.”
“Lauren might be dating Landon, but they haven’t made it public. There’s still a chance to turn things around,” Javier opined. “Things will only get messy if they make their relationship public.”
“Javier, what do you mean? Do you not want Lauren to marry Landon?” Sophia asked worriedly.
“Mrs. Harper visited our place to discuss Jasper and Zoe’s marriage, but she went home empty-handed without getting to meet with Jasper. Didn’t you see her expression when she left? She was so resentful.
“Landon is her only son. After what happened between Jasper and Zoe, she couldn’t possibly agree to the marriage between Landon and Lauren,” argued Javier while impatiently rubbing his forehead.
Sophia was taken aback. She replayed the scene and recalled Penelope’s look of rage, realizing that
Lauren might have lost her chance of marrying into the distinguished Harper family.
No. All wasn’t lost yet!

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🙄...
