Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1829

Just then, Ben called.

Jasper promptly answered, "What's the matter, Mr. Gorham?"

"Mr. Jasper, is it a good time to speak?" Ben said.

"Go ahead, Mr. Gorham. What is it?"

"Mr. Javier arrived this morning and took Ms. Lauren back to Seaview Manor."

A shadow crossed Jasper's face. "I thought Grandpa wanted Lauren's company a little while more. Why was her time with him cut short?"

"Mr. Javier went to the study room with Mr. Newton. I'm not sure what they talked about, but they ended up fighting."

Ben sounded worried. "Ms. Lauren heard everything. She had always been the most obedient in the family, so she agreed to follow Mr. Javier back.

"As a secretary, I can't intervene, but I hope you'll give Ms. Lauren some extra attention when you return tonight."

Jasper sensed Ben's implication. "Did you catch what Dad and Grandpa were arguing about?"

"I... I think it was about Ms. Lauren's wedding. Mr. Newton and Mr. Javier clashed over it, leading to the confrontation. But I don't know the details."

Jasper rose from his chair, his expression serious. "I got it. Don't you and Grandpa worry. I will protect Lauren."

…

Betty was being exiled from the Beckett family, and she didn't even have someone to help her with her luggage. It was a pitiable sight.

Lauren knew the truth about Betty's actions, thanks to Jasper and Alyssa. She couldn't find it in herself to forgive her sister, nor did she want anything to do with her. Closing her eyes, she hugged her teddy bear, pretending not to see her.

"Stop right there!" Betty's sudden shout sliced through the air, her voice strained and piercing, echoing with intensity.

Lauren stopped in her tracks. However, this time, Lauren refused to cower. Confronting the sister who had tormented her for years, she held her ground.

"Pfft… Do you think you can ignore me just because I'm deaf?" Betty's words spat out like venom, her anger palpable as she gasped for breath. "Idiot! Bitch!

"You're the reason Grandpa and Dad turned their backs on me! I've been kicked out of the house… Jasper had destroyed my ears. It's all thanks to you, bitch! I hate you!"
