Can't Win Me Back Chapter 1830
Betty's rage surged like a rabid animal as she barked at Lauren, her fury palpable.But as Lauren glanced up, she noticed something she hadn't before—the hearing aids tucked behind Betty's hair, previously concealed from view. "Bitch... I'm deaf now. You won't get away with this before I'm gone. I'll make sure you suffer the same fate!" Betty's words dripped with venom as she lashed out, her arm poised to strike at Lauren's face.Yet, to Betty's surprise, Lauren, once her victim, deftly evaded her attack, delivering a crisp slap in retaliation—the first time the latter had ever raised a hand against the former.The passing maid, initially startled, couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction—Lauren had finally asserted herself.Betty scowled as she held her face.It was the first time Lauren had ever laid a hand on someone. It didn't hurt, but it shattered Betty's ego."You are not my sister, Betty." Lauren clenched her fists and shook her head lightly. "You never were from

Betty's relentless mocking made Lauren pale considerably. Her delicate frame shuddered even more. Lauren shut her eyes tightly, wringing her teddy bear until it was twisted out of shape. Only by doing this could she force herself not to think about those haunting memories."You couldn't become Mrs. Harper, but soon you will be Mrs. Hodgson, the mayor's daughter-in-law. It seems like congratulations are in order."Betty flipped her hair, acting disgustingly pretentious like Sophia. "However, I'm not getting any wedding gifts for you.""If you don't shut your mouth right now, I'm going to make your right ear completely deaf." Jasper's rage was evident from his scowl. "But it's the truth, isn't it? She's going to marry into the Hodgson family. There's no point yelling at me like this."Jasper stalked toward her menacingly like a prowling lion."Ah! Help! Dad, save me! Jasper is going to kill me!" Betty threw away all decorum and screamed at the top of her lungs."That's enough! Wh

Lauren curled up in a dust-filled corner. It was the height of summer, but she was so cold that she shivered.At this time, Freddy, who had been standing aside, quietly walked up to her. He took off his jacket and knelt to cover her shoulders with it.She was about to say "thank you" when she realized that he was blatantly staring at her chest.Her small, developing breasts could be seen through her soaked shirt, and even her white bra was visible!In her panic, she screamed weakly and hugged her chest with her shuddering arms. "Lauren, let me touch them for a bit, alright? Just a bit, no one will know."Freddy said those disgusting words with such sincerity, like a devil's manipulative persuasion.When she recalled those memories, it still plunged Lauren into a deep pit of depression and fear."I know why you want to marry off Lauren so desperately."Jasper's fists clenched tightly, and his knuckles turned white. "If you were angry, you could have taken it out on me. As a pa

"You don't agree?" Javier's expression darkened coldly. His menacing glare was devoid of any warmth or affection a father would have for his son. "Jasper, I am not dead yet, but are you already thinking of taking over my duties?"If I didn't give you the chance, would you even be able to become the president of Beckett Group? It seems like you've become arrogant. Do you really think that you achieved everything by your own merit?"Facing his father's insults, Jasper was more worried for Lauren than angry at his father.If Lauren really married into the Hodgson family, he couldn't imagine what kind of crazy things Landon would do after he found out.Perhaps he would spiral into depression. Perhaps he would be so crushed that he would never recover from his heartbreak.Lauren was not strong and brave like Alyssa, who would stand up for herself. She was the most obedient child among the siblings. She was gentle and weak, accepting whatever obstacles life threw at her without protest.

"Lauren, what in the world are you saying?" Jasper, who was usually calm and composed, reacted in shock. He placed his hands heavily on her shoulders. "Marriage is not child's play. This is a matter of your lifelong happiness!"Do you not know what kind of person Freddy is? Did you not see how he was acting intimately with Zoe? Aren't you worried that this might be a plot from Zoe to mess with you and Landon?"Lauren let him shake her shoulders as tears rolled in her eyes along with the shaking."Did you really fall out of love with Landon? Look into my eyes and tell me… do you really not love Landon anymore?" Jasper's brows knitted together tightly as he bombarded her with questions."Jasper, I'm a grown woman. I'm no longer the child who locked herself in her room all day, not daring to speak to anyone. I'm no longer the girl whose only companions were drawing blocks and dolls."Lauren's voice was soft, but her resolve was firm. "I know what I'm doing; I know what I want."Jasp

Landon's words dropped a bomb in the meeting room. Face reddened, Preston slammed his hand on the table and bellowed, "Landon Harper, are you kicking me out? Are you fucking asleep? You were a baby when I was working alongside your grandpa!"The uncle and nephew finally had a fallout as there were no outsiders around."Landon, don't cross the line!" Cornelius chastised his grandson, whom he deemed insane. "I know what's in your mind. You're just trying to avenge Lauren!"At the end of the day, you're a Harper and the president of the Harper Group. Your dad had contributed to the company's success too. How can you answer Bill if you make a mess in the company?"Besides, your Uncle Preston did not do anything wrong. Lauren has mental issues. Are you sure you can take care of her forever after you married her? You don't have that patience; you can never do it! You should end your relationship now rather than regretting it in the future.""Grandpa, I have just one question for you." L

"Grandpa, I know you are an expert at weighing pros and cons. I have laid out my cards. Please take your time to consider your choice." After that, Landon slowly rose from his seat and rubbed out the cigarette on the tabletop."Stop!" Cornelius called out to Landon. In a shaking voice, he obliged, "I agree… I agree to your conditions!""Dad, I sacrificed so much for the Harper Group. How could you do this to me to protect yourself?" Preston's eyes bulged from surprise."That's enough. Don't flatter yourself." Shameful and enraged, Cornelius growled, "You and I know who's the one who made real sacrifices for Harper Group. It was Bill—Landon's dad—your brother!"Even without these scandalous photos, I have plans to kick you out anyway. Did you really think I was clueless about your crimes behind my back? I was merely turning a blind eye because I couldn't be bothered."I'll take the chance today to get rid of a thorn in my side. You do not have to report to work at Harper Group anym

Alyssa felt her chest tighten. She motioned at Sean to come over before pressing Silas, "Are you sure?""Mayor Hodgson has always been prudent. He won't make things public unless it's been confirmed. That's how he managed to enjoy a smooth political career." Silas' tone took a turn. "That's why I believe the news is true. Lyse, is this an arranged marriage? Is Lauren willing to marry a man she doesn't love? Will she be happy?"The idea of Lauren agreeing to it was preposterous. Something was fishy."Grandpa and Javier aren't satisfied with Landon, but they hate Harper Group even more. Even so, Lauren shouldn't marry Freddy Hodgson!""Lyse, do you know Mayor Hodgson's son?"Lyse cracked her fingers angrily. "You can tell he's not a good egg just by looking at that bastard's face."Silas and Sean grew speechless."Anyway, thanks for giving me the huge update. I'll make your favorite beef Wellington when I'm back home."After the call, Alyssa took a few deep breaths to gather hers

In danger? And Jasper's unrelenting resolve to reach her, even after being shot and drenched in blood.Remy pressed his calloused, trembling hand to his chest. His heart hammered in his ribcage erratically.A sharp, searing pain shot through his temples, blurring his vision. He collapsed to his knees in the snow, his body racked with agony. The pain surged deep within him, and his eyes felt like they were going to burst from their sockets. It was unbearable.His breath came in ragged gasps.

It would be able to save his life. But in his desperate haste, the

As subtle as Remy's expressions were, Jasper still noticed them. A slight twinkle flashed across his eyes. He did not have the time to continue entertaining Remy. He clenched his teeth, turned around, and started running toward Crater Mountain. Nevertheless, he had barely taken a few steps when gunshots were fired at his feet. Even so, Jasper kept his eyes fixed ahead and did not stop. Just then, another gunshot rang out. It wasn't until a bullet hit him in his right shoulder that the pain caused him to stumble. He almost fell to the ground but forced himself to stay on his feet. It was fortunate that he was shot in his right shoulder this time. After all, his left shoulder could not be injured any further. Otherwise, his left shoulder would be left in complete disability."If you take another step, the next shot will be in your left leg," Remy warned mockingly. Yet, his gaze was firm and fiery. "Jasper, I don't suppose you want to end up like your older brother, living in

A chill went down Jasper's spine. At that moment, staring down the barrel of the gun, one thought consumed him. It was the only thought that mattered—he had to stay alive to meet Alyssa!Jasper's mind raced. His gun was hidden under the driver's seat of his usual car, but today, he had taken a different sports car—one that wasn't equipped with a weapon. Panic gripped him for a split second before his instincts kicked in.The soldier within him stirred. Without warning, he jerked the steering wheel, ramming his car into Remy's.One of Remy's headlights was taken out and left rolling across the snow. All of a sudden, this prideful man was overwhelmed with anger. His eyes reddened with a strong sense of competitiveness, compelling him to pull the trigger. A shot rang out. The bullet sliced through the cold air, shattering Jasper's car window.From the very beginning, Remy hadn't intended to take Jasper's life. All Justin told him to do was to stop Jasper from meeting with Alys

"Jasper, you are such a jerk. If anything bad happens to Ms. Alyssa, you will surely regret it. You will live in regret your entire life!" Sean yelled. …The temperature tonight was -4 degrees Fahrenheit. The snowstorm in the woods on the mountain was getting stronger and stronger. The winds were freezing and bone-piercing as they blew against Alyssa's face. Trees swayed dramatically in the screeching winds, creating an inexplicable creepy atmosphere that added a feeling of desolation to Alyssa's sorrowful and depressive mood. She braved the bone-piercing winds and faced the heavy snowfall. With the help of her trekking pole, she plodded forward one step at a time. She did not have a destination in mind. She did not know where she was heading. Her heart had shattered, and she was beside herself. The decreasing temperatures discouraged her and made her lose all her motivation. For someone who had lost their willpower, being in the woods under extreme weather conditions wa

"Mr. Jasper, why do you say so?" Sheryl lifted her head and looked into Jasper's reddened eyes. She furrowed her brows and laughed out loud. "White Dove is from Solana City. This is also something that I wasn't able to predict. If I had known, I wouldn't have gotten you to make a trip here in vain, would I?" Sheryl was no longer that conniving bitch who used to act coy. Now, she had a powerful person backing her up. Jasper's violent rage did not scare her at all. "Why the hell didn't you say anything earlier?" Xavier marched forward furiously. He was even more inclined to serve her a slap. "Did you know that Mr. Beckett had an important date with Madam today? He only rushed her because of your stupid lead! Right now, you're telling us that White Dove isn't in Skydon but Solana City? What the heck are you scheming? Were you trying to ruin Mr. Beckett and Madam's date intentionally?" "Madam? Haven't Mr. Jasper and Ms. Alyssa broken up? Is it right for you to be referring to her

The skies started to turn dark. Alyssa's dark hair was covered in a layer of snow. As she stood alone at the foot of the majestic mountain, she looked tiny, fragile, and desolate. "Ms. Alyssa, it's snowing. Heavy snowfall is forecasted tonight." Elias walked to Alyssa's side. Noticing the redness on her face due to the cold and the dull look in her eyes, he had a moment of realization. He couldn't help but feel a wave of sadness within him. "It's getting late. I suppose something came up for Mr. Beckett, and he's unable to make it." "Why didn't he inform me if that is the case?" Alyssa mumbled in a low voice as she gazed toward the darkness. She choked back on her tears so softly that her grievance couldn't really be heard through her voice. Elias slapped himself on his forehead. "Ah, perhaps you didn't manage to receive Mr. Beckett's message? The reception at the foot of the mountain isn't quite stable. You might have missed it. Would you like to come to my office? You'l

Jasper held his breath. It felt as if his legs had been chained together. He was unable to move. Looking at a stiff Jasper from behind, Xavier noticed his shoulders trembling slightly. An ominous feeling rose within him. "What did you say?" Jasper questioned. He sounded as if he was forcing himself to hold himself back from getting emotional. "Mr. Justin once mentioned that you were saved by a female doctor when you were badly wounded on the battlefield many years ago. I heard that you have been searching for her and that you've been grateful toward her." Jasper's back stiffened up. He narrowed his eyes and asked in a frosty voice, "This is a private matter. Why would Justin have told you about it?" "Mr. Justin mentioned it to me because I also used to work as a doctor in Luminara. He was hoping that I could help with finding that woman. "I finally have news on her whereabouts now. Mr. Jasper, don't you want to see the White Dove again? She was the person who gave her all t

That night, Alyssa stayed in the presidential suite of Solana City's KS World Hotel. She couldn't bring herself to return to her own manor—not yet. The lingering memories of her breakup with Jasper were still too raw, and the thought of revisiting their former home felt like reopening an unhealed wound.The following morning, she was awakened by a knock at the door. Groggily, she slipped on her night robe and opened it to find Sean standing there, carrying a complete set of brand-new hiking gear.Alyssa smiled. "Thank you, Sean." "Ms. Alyssa, it's freezing today. Are you sure you want to go hiking?" Sean walked into the living room and placed the items neatly on the couch. He still felt somewhat worried. "It's alright if it's cold, as long as the weather is good."Alyssa gazed out the window. The sun was shining brightly. The thought of going hiking with Jasper today made it impossible for her to conceal the sweet smile on her face and the delight in her eyes. She still love

Remy's eyes were bloodshot; his expression twisted with disgust as he stared at Sheryl. He could hardly fathom how someone so deranged and vile had once been close to Jasper. Even if Jasper and Alyssa had separated, Sheryl was nowhere near worthy of Jasper's side; she was not even fit to be the dirt on Alyssa's shoes.A sudden flash of memory struck him—the image of Alyssa during that traffic accident. He recalled her mustering all her strength to crawl out of her wrecked car, her face bloody, her body broken yet defiant. He had never seen such a fierce spirit in a woman before.His heart pounded uncontrollably, the memory triggering a sharp pain in his temples. Remy closed his eyes, gasping for breath.Sheryl broke into wild, unhinged laughter. Her entire body shook as she spat out her words, "Oh, Jasper, you poor, clueless fool!"If he ever discovers that the woman he's been tormenting all this time is actually his savior—the one he's been desperate to repay—that would be an eart
