Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1722

Lauren might be simplistic most of the time, but she seemed extra level-headed when she fought to go back to school. Landon had no choice but to cave in. He left the manor with a long face, wearing the damp jacket he had wrapped Lauren in earlier.

Angelina had offered a new jacket for him, but he declined. All he said was, "Take good care of Lauren."

"Of course, Mr. Landon."

"One more thing." He paused in his tracks with an icy look. "Be vigilant. Make sure other men stay away from her."

"Sure." Angelina froze. Cyrus' cheerful and handsome face flashed across her mind.

Clarissa had been troubled ever since she retrieved her dress from Rose. Losing sleep, she couldn't shake off Rose's harsh advice for her. Rose had warned her, "Domestic violence, once happened, will happen again."

"Are you going to do nothing until he beats you to death?"

"You're going to die if you don't fight back!"

Recently, Josh had regained Victor's trust and was welcomed back to the Schmidt Group after his successful plot against Jonah. Therefore, Clarissa thought that Josh would be in a better mood and that he'd cease beating her up and cussing at her.

Alas, Josh's good mood didn't last long. Not long before, he suddenly sneaked back home late at night with injuries all over his face and body.

Upon storming into the bedroom, Josh grabbed Clarissa's hair like a devil and tossed her onto the ground. Without any word, he started punching and kicking her. Her cries and pleas echoed across the floor for the whole night.

The Schmidt Group's event was just around the corner. Josh, with too much time on his hands one day, had flashbacks of the time he had forced Clarissa to order a tailored dress from Rose.

"My dad… His health is declining." She rose from the ground unsteadily. Then, she mustered all her courage to speak. "The doctor says that Dad's kidney will fail if we can't find a kidney transplant for him. There will be no hope for him if that happens."

"And?"

"You promised me… to find a kidney transplant for my dad."

"Let's discuss this after the cocktail party."

"That won't do! Dad can't hold on that long!" Close to tears, Clarissa worriedly begged, "Please… Considering that our family has helped yours for years and the fact that we've been married for years, please save Dad!"

"I said to discuss this after the cocktail party. Are you begging to be beaten? Can't you understand my words?" He shot her a threatening look.
