Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1551

At that moment, Lauren's throbbing heart began to tremble. Blood drained from her face. She was like a terrified kitten stuck in a tree.

She pursed her lips. Out of reflex, she let go of Landon's hand.

Landon felt slightly short of breath. He grabbed her hand almost in an overbearing manner. He held her hand so tightly that he nearly cut off the blood circulation in her hand.

"She was with me. So what? Is that any of your business?"

Landon shot a sharp look at Betty. He stared at her coldly while she tried to hide the glee on her face.

"There's something that I've never realized before. I didn't know you were such a conservative woman, Ms. Betty. That's vastly different from your usual behavior."

Betty's heart missed a beat. She turned pale. "You… What are you blabbering about?"

"I wasn't blabbering. Just head out of Seaview Manor and ask anyone from the upper-class society in Solana City. Just ask them about your reputation and how wild your conduct is. It will all become as clear as day."

Landon curled the corner of his lip into a wide smirk.

"I have a number of friends who have messed around with you before. Have you forgotten about them? I can remind you if you need me to. Who knows if Mr. Javier also knows of them."

Javier inhaled sharply. His eyes were bloodshot. He glared at this useless daughter of his.

"Dad… That's not true. He's slandering me! He's being mean to me!"

Cold sweat formed on Betty's forehead. She almost lost her footing and fell down the stairs.

Her life had always revolved around sex and pleasures. She partied hard and had a lot of one-night stands. She was famous for being a promiscuous woman in Solana City. Thanks to her own actions, her reputation was already down in the ditches.

She had been pretending to be a well-behaved and pure daughter in front of Javier. This was an image she worked hard to portray in front of him.

Javier looked down at him. He didn't even have the patience to invite him to take a seat. "But you'd better keep it short. Otherwise, you're going to delay our dinner time."

He had ceased his arrogance and instead adopted an attitude of contempt toward him.

Betty hid behind Javier and sniggered. She felt like Landon had just been served with his payback.

During the Jesseltons' party previously, Landon wanted to avenge Alyssa. In order to do so, he challenged Javier in public. He drew the line with the entire Beckett Group. This incident became a trending topic in the social circles in Solana City.

Men hated being humiliated.

Landon was the one who embarrassed Javier in the first place. He was now being treated like a doormat. It served him right.

"Mr. Javier, I'm here today to formally ask for Lauren's hand in marriage."
