Chapter 811
Betty couldn’t fathom Zoe’s audacity in proudly announcing her engagement. It seemed like sheer
madness.
As the Beckett Group president, Jasper was so powerful that Javier had no control over him. What could the Harpers do about Jasper?
However, she chose not to confront Zoe directly, choosing instead to observe as Zoe unwittingly made a mockery of herself and turned the Harper family into the laughingstock of Solana City.
“Whatever. I don’t mind as long as you’re happy. I wish you and Jasper a happy marriage,” Betty said to Zoe reluctantly.
“By the way, do you remember Mayor Hodgson’s son? He was interested in you, but you weren’t into him,
so the blind date didn’t work out,” Zoe suddenly changed the topic.
Mayor Hodgson’s son? Betty recalled the guy, Freddy Hodgson. Sophia had brought Betty to meet with
Mayor Hodgson and his wife at a golf course earlier. It was a blind date masked as a meeting, as Sophia
intended to get Betty acquainted with Freddy.
In the end, the mayor and his wife were uninterested in Betty. Not only that, Mrs. Hodgson outrageously
requested to meet with Lauren, which was a slap in Betty’s face.
To save her face, Betty lied and boasted to Zoe that she had asked Sophia to turn down the Hodgsons’
marriage proposal because she deserved a better suitor.
“Yes. Why did you bring him up?” Betty said crossly.
“Oh. Nothing. He’s pursuing me,” Zoe replied and laughed gleefully.
Shocked, Betty snickered. “You’re about to be Mrs. Beckett soon. You probably wouldn’t even look at a
mayor’s son.”
“I only have eyes for Jasper, that’s for sure. That’s why I turned down Freddy’s advances. But he said he was very in love with me and willing to do anything for me. And by everything, he meant everything,” Zoe
remarked and cackled sinisterly.
“What do you mean? What’s your plan?” Betty pressed on as she could sense there was more to Zoe’s
words.
“I want him to marry Lauren,” Zoe announced.
Betty inhaled sharply upon hearing that. Zoe could be very maniacal at times. How could she demand her
Zoe barked into the phone, “Hey, where the fuck were you? I couldn’t reach you at all.”
Zoe addressed her in an authoritative tone, as usual.
Betty, in pain, pressed against her bandaged face and retorted, “Watch your tone. I’m Betty Beckett, not your maid!”

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...
