Ch. 791..800

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 791-Cyrus’ gaze darkened as he added in a cold, harsh tone, “So the claim you made earlier about hating Lyla out of love for her is completely baseless.” Ronald clenched his jaw, sneering, “Even if you find out, so what? I am indeed Sophia’s fan. I love her madly. I can do anything for her, including killing Lyla!” Furious, Cyrus’s shoulders shook, and he yearned to crush Ronald’s despicable head.

“But when it comes to my relationship with Sophia… Well, there isn’t any. She has no ties to me. It’s all just my one-sided wish. I’m ready to do anything for her, even if it involves dying or killing. And she doesn’t have to be aware of any of it.” Ronald’s audacious words stemmed from his confidence that being charged with intentional harm, the worst-case scenario would be attempted murder.

Jasper and Lyla were unharmed, and even if the Taylor family wanted to go after him, there wasn’t much they could do.

Unfortunately, he failed to fulfill the task Sophia assigned to him.

Cyrus knew Ronald’s schemes well. His chest burned with intense anger, his eyes turning fiery red.

After a moment, he dismissed his subordinates and rose from his seat, turning off the recording.

equipment.

“Ronald, it’s just between us now. Let’s be frank.” Cyrus walked casually inside the interrogation room. With his hands in his pockets, he sat on the table.

with a sarcastic look at Ronald.

“You willingly play the executioner for Sophia, sacrificing yourself for her, even willing to kill for her. That’s your choice. But if news of your extraordinary relationship with Sophia gets out, what would the medial think? What would Mr. Javier think when he hears it?” He continued, “Everyone will believe Sophia sent you to attack Lyla. And Javier would suspect there’s something between you and Sophia. If that happens, you’ll end up in prison, but your old sweetheart… How would she cope with that? Her reputation is already in shambles, but this will be the final blow.” The first step to murder was to first destroy the soul.

That was what his younger sister, Alyssa, once told him.

+15 BONUS Ronald was tense. His eyes were burning red from exhaustion. He stared at Cyrus while his handcuffs clinked.

“You’re a cop! Revealing case information to the media… That’s against the rules! I’ll report you!” “Handling someone as vile and uncooperative as you sometimes calls for unconventional methods. Can you cooperate without them?” Cyrus fearlessly raised his chin.

“Ronald, you’ve stirred up trouble with the whole Taylor family this time. You dare to harm Lyla Nelson. I’ll go to great lengths to make sure you and Sophia both suffer in hell!” Panicking, Sophia looked around with a scattered gaze and stuttered, “That guy… He stole it! While I was filming, I left the necklace in the dressing room.

When I came back, it was gone. He must have stolen it!” “Is that so? Stolen and yet not sold. Instead, meticulously preserved until now?” Alyssa heard Sophia’s flawed story and couldn’t help but chuckle.

“He’s up to something. How would I know what he’s up to?” Aware that she might not outtalk the sharp- tongued Alyssa, Sophia chose to play the fool to the end.

Without concrete evidence, what could Alyssa do to her?

“To be honest, I had someone investigate TS Network. I found people who worked with Ronald back then. They all said that both of you were very close at the time. He never took money from you.

“He willingly played the role of your lackey, ensuring your safety and assisting you in every way. How could a man so infatuated with you, acting like a devoted fan, possibly steal from you?

“Even if he did steal it, it must have been out of admiration for you, Mrs.

Beckett.” Alyssa squinted, showing a mocking smile that gave Sophia chills.

Alyssa added, “He’s willing to do anything for you-including premeditated murder.” “Alyssa! Shut up!” Sophia was drenched in cold sweat, her voice breaking.

The gazes of those around her gradually became skeptical and complex.

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 792-Javier regarded Sophia with a cool and lowered gaze, his icy stare concealed beneath his thick lashes.

“Did you secretly instruct Ronald to attack Lyla in the last incident, Mrs.

Beckett?” Alyssa suddenly changed the topic.

“I didn’t! Everything was Ronald’s idea, and it has nothing to do with me!” Sophia clutched Javier’s suit, her teary eyes blurred.

“Javier, I bear no grudges against Lyla. Why would I do that? I’m the lady of the Beckett family. Lyla is just Winston Taylor’s mistress! Why would I bother with a concubine like her?” With a scowl, Javier ordered her sternly, “Sophie! Stop talking.”.

“Ms. Sophia Kirkman, you can insult me, but you cannot insult my family.” Alyssa’s gaze sharpened as she pointed her finger directly at Sophia’s tearful and sinister face.

“Be careful. If you dare to insult Lyla again, I might slap you too!” The room fell into an awkward silence.

People from the Harper family also wore a dumbfounded expression.

Cornelius shook his head and tutted. “Winston’s daughter, always wanting to slap people, lacks the demeanor of a young lady. Too arrogant, too impolite, too willful!” “What to do? Everyone spoils her.” Landon raised his hand and shrugged. He continued, “Mr. Taylor spoils her, all her brothers and sisters at home spoil her, even Jasper spoils her.

“She can’t help being willful. You know, Jasper has never spoiled any woman in his life except for Alyssa.

That’s an exception, an indulgence without limits. No other woman can compare.” Zoe’s face burned, and her heart bled with hatred upon hearing the undertones.

Jasper observed Alyssa, who exuded the fierce demeanor of a feisty woman.

He couldn’t help but smile, and his thin lips curved upward as his heartbeat accelerated.

Sophia felt a sudden surge of fear, causing her to freeze in place. She was hesitant to make a move.

Sophia was aware of Alyssa’s straightforward approach. When Alyssa mentioned slapping someone, she meant it. Yet, Sophia couldn’t endure it.

“Alyssa! All this is just your speculation! You’re trying to smear me! You have no evidence!” +15 BONDS Sophia was convinced that Alyssa didn’t have conclusive evidence. Otherwise, how could she remain unscathed until now?

“Yes, I’m just saying. Why are you so anxious? Could it be that you’re feeling quilty?

Sophia was left red-faced and speechless by Alyssa’s words.

Alyssa smiled and took back the platinum necklace.

“As for the specific relationship between you two, asking Mr. Branson again should yield results soon. No need to rush.” Thinking of Ronald, who was already under police control, Sophia’s nerves tightened.

“Alright, I won’t interrupt your important discussion any longer. I’ll excuse myself.” Alyssa walked confidently toward the door, aware of the scrutinizing gazes around her.

Jasper clenched his fists tightly, and his fiery gaze followed her.

He considered following her several times but managed to control the restlessness in his heart.

Seeing Alyssa about to leave, Penelope suddenly stopped her. Wearing a frosty expression, Penelope said, “Ms. Alyssa, next time you handle family matters, it’s better to choose the right time and occasion. At the very least, you should inform Mr. Javier and Jasper in advance so that it won’t be so awkward for everyone.” “Awkward? I didn’t feel that way.” Alyssa shrugged indifferently. With a smirk, she mocked, “Next time, try to thicken up your skin a bit, and you won’t feel embarrassed.” 

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 793-Penelope choked at Alyssa’s words, her heart rate becoming irregular.

Alyssa couldn’t help but notice that Penelope’s comebacks were not as sharp as Sophia’s. It seemed ridiculous to Alyssa that Penelope dared to challenge her with such responses.

“Alyssa! How dare you contradict my mother like that! You’re so disrespectful!

She’s your elder!” Zoe, holding Cornelius, acted like a watchdog, barking loudly at Alyssa.

Jasper overheard, and his eyebrows tightened, expressing clear disdain for Zoe.

“Does age automatically make someone an ‘elder’? Following that logic, I’m also your elder. Is it appropriate to address elders this way?” Alyssa, who was a head taller than Zoe, coldly looked down at her, intensifying the pressure on Zoe.

Zoe trembled, her lips quivering. She was afraid to retort further for fear of Alyssa’s harsh words.

Penelope was aware that Cornelius wouldn’t create problems for Winston’s daughter over such a minor issue. So she kept sending frantic eye signals to Landon, urging her son to restore her honor.

Landon’s gaze flickered. He cleared his throat and spoke timidly, “Well … Alyssa, I…” Alyssa’s eyes flickered, and her cold gaze fell on his face.

Landon Harper, the all-capable demon king, quickly changed his stance, saying, “I-I’ll take you back. It’s already late. It’s not safe.” “No need. I drove here.” Alyssa, without looking back, swiftly walked out of the villa gate. Her high heels echoing crisply.

Landon scratched his head, feeling embarrassed.

Cornelius snorted angrily, feeling that his grandson was too obedient to Winston’s daughter.

It was embarrassing!

“Let’s go!” The Harper family members all walked out in a rush.

“Sophia, leaning against Javier, moaned weakly. It was as if she had no bones.

‘Ah… my head… I feel so dizzy.” +15 BONUS Rosie glanced at Sophia and muttered disdainfully, “Ha, either acting like a pitiful victim or feigning dizziness. Your acting skills from your acting days are quite apparent. It’s no surprise you were overshadowed by Ms. Lyia Nelson for so long.” Sophia heard every word clearly, and they fueled her anger.

Javier’s expression stiffened, his face turning pale. After a silent moment, he murmured to Rosie, “Mrs.

Rosie, help Madam get back to the room.” “Sorry, Mr. Javier. I’m only responsible for Mr. Jasper’s daily life, and I need to prepare a bath for him now.

Please get someone else to take care of Madam. Madam probably wouldn’t want me to attend to her, too. She might not feel comfortable around me.” Rosie then left with a disgruntled face.

Rosie’s response left Javier without words.

Jasper stood alone, his expression a mix of reluctance and anger, portraying a forsaken figure. He seemed overwhelmed with melancholy and sorrow.

“Jasper! Why are you still standing here?” Landon walked up to Jasper, pushing him hard. His face was anxious. “Alyssa is about to leave. You finally met her. So go and stop her!

Explain the situation between you and my sister!” Jasper’s breath hitched. His feet seemed to be filled with lead, making him heavy.

On their way back, Cornelius drove one car, and Penelope and Zoe took another.

In the car, Penelope was still indignant, full of resentment.

In her youth, she was protected by her husband, and in her middle age, her son cared for her. When had she ever experienced such humiliation as tonight?

“Mom, Landon publicly questioned me in front of the Beckett family and Grandpa! He used despicable means to prevent me from marrying Jasper. He’s so despicable!” Zoe cried and leaned into her mother’s arms.

Zoe continued, “He only cares about seeking his own happiness and doesn’t consider my life at all! Does he still see me as a sister? In his eyes, I’m just an enemy!” 

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 794-“Don’t you worry, Zoe. Things won’t end so easily. I’ll be sure to get back at them for you!” Penelope consoled her daughter, a coldness glinting in her eyes.

“How? Landon is the one in control of the family right now, and he’s on such good terms with Jasper and Alyssa. What could you possibly do?” Penelope snarled, “If Landon won’t let you be with Jasper, then no way is he going to be together with that retarded Beckett girl! You have Grandpa on your side.

“Grandpa wouldn’t just let our family reputation be tarnished like this. He’s definitely going to facilitate your wedding with Jasper while keeping Lauren away from our family!” “Landon isn’t budging at all to our attempts, Mom. Don’t you think he knows exactly what we’re up to?” Zoe cried anxiously, “He protects that nitwit Lauren like she’s some prized toy!

When would we ever get the chance to do anything?” “Our chance will come. As much as Landon adores Sophia’s silly little daughter, he can’t possibly keep her around with him 24/7. He’s bound to leave her side sometime!” Penelope was truly angry now.

Penelope was usually so calm and collected, but now, seeing how in danger her daughter’s reputation was, Penelope was ready to remove every single obstacle between Zoe and Jasper so Zoe could marry him!

Penelope was also determined to find the perfect match for Landon so he would bring home a proper, reputable wife. This wife of his could never be Sophia’s daughter!

Alyssa hurried into her car before accelerating out of Seaview Manor. It was as if the place was filled with horrid poison.

The moment her car exited the front gate, her grip around the steering wheel tightened.

Under the dim light of the streetlamp, Jameson stood leaning against his electric blue car. Who kne how long he’d been standing there?/No impatience or irritation showed in his expression. 3 The moment Jameson saw Alyssa’s car, his eyes brightened. He stood up straight and waved at her, looking like an excited youth.

Alyssa’s car came to a stop before him.

“What are you doing here?” Alyssa asked in surprise as she walked out of her car.

“I was waiting for you.” Jameson smiled with a fond gentleness in his eyes.

“Waiting for me? Why?” Alyssa was confused now.

“I used some connections to figure out that you were headed here, so I followed along. I was just worried you might be overwhelmed, nothing else. You don’t have anyone around to help you after all.” Jameson then smiled bitterly. “I ended up making a fool of myself. I can’t go inside nor help you with anything. But I did get to see you, so it wasn’t a complete waste of time.” Alyssa blinked rapidly, feeling befuddled by Jameson’s words.

She had always enjoyed going wherever and doing whatever she wanted without being restrained. The thought that someone was investigating her whereabouts behind her back made her very uneasy.

“It wasn’t anything serious. Just something personal.” Alyssa’s smile was forced.

“The Beckett family isn’t a lions’ den. I’ve lived here for three years. I know my way around.” Dark thoughts swirled in his mind as he contemplated those three years-three years of the lifeless, suffocating marriage that Alyssa had endured.

Anguish welled up in Jameson’s chest. He was about to say something when his expression darkened.

Jasper watched them from a distance. His handsome features were cold and collected. He seemed like a statue standing there, blending into the dark background.

However, Alyssa was oblivious to how longingly Jasper stared at her.

“Jimmy, I…” Alyssa was about to speak when her vision swam.

The next thing she knew, Jameson had enveloped her in a tight hug.

Alyssa reacted too slowly. She was pressed against his chest-so close that she could hear his uneven breathing. His hands wrapped around her waist, slowly tightening.

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 795-“W-What are you doing, Jimmy?” Panicked, Alyssa instinctively tried to shove him away.

But in Jasper’s eyes, her struggle was seen as playing hard to get.

Jameson remained silent, only tightening his grip around her. His eyes were filled with mockery and sarcasm when he met Jasper’s angry ones. Jameson never once loosened his hold around Alyssa, even as she continued to struggle.

It felt like knives were stabbing into Jasper’s heart, slowly killing him. His entire being buzzed with pain as goosebumps swept over his skin.

The sight of Alyssa in Jameson’s embrace felt worse than death and far more painful than being wounded on the battlefield.

With his face now pale, Jasper turned away and stumbled back into the house.

Only then did Jameson loosen up his arms. Alyssa swiftly escaped from his grasp, eyes burning with anger.

“Don’t do that again, Jameson. This is the last warning you’ll have, or I’m ending our friendship!” “I’m… I’m sorry, Lyse.” Jameson quickly put on an innocent and guilty expression.

Jameson’s arms were left hanging in the air as he continued, “I know you treat me only as a friend. I’ve done my best to keep myself in check, but I couldn’t control myself. I promise there won’t be a next time.

Please forgive me this once, Lyse. It was out of worry for you.” Alyssa sighed, hand cupping her forehead. “I hope you can remember how much I hate it when men other than my brothers touch me.” Jameson gritted his teeth, arms finally sagging by his sides. His hands balled into fists.

Jasper bitterly wondered if Alyssa could ever accept another man into her life.

What was Jasper to her then? She even let that secretary of hers get so close to her. Was he the only person she would never accept into her life? 1 “Thank you for your concern. It’s late now. I’ll be on my way back,” Alyssa said.

All of a sudden, she felt a familiar presence behind her. She slowly turned back to look.

Her heart seemed to drop in the next second.

There was no one behind her anymore.

+15 BONUS Jasper dragged his lead-filled legs back into the house.

“Jasper!” Landon quickly went to his friend’s side. He hadn’t left with his family, being worried about Jasper.

But Jasper seemed not to have noticed him. He continued walking slowly forward.

“Jasper. Jasper!” Landon grabbed Jasper’s arms, asking worriedly, “Where’s Lyse? What did you two talk about? Did she forgive you?” “Why would I want her forgiveness? I didn’t do anything wrong.” Jasper’s unfocused eyes were filled with exhaustion. It was as if Alyssa had shattered the light in them into smithereens.

“I’m tired, Landon. If nothing I do can keep Alyssa by my side or help me get to her, then why not just let her go?”

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 796-Alyssa sped her car all the way back to her place in Solana City, emotions tumultuous.

She had aimed for Sophia when she went to Seaview Manor earlier, yet on the way back home, all she could recall was how Jasper pressed her up against the wall.

The man’s eyes had locked onto her, filled with a deep sadness. There was exasperation and desperation in his anger that Alyssa couldn’t forget, no matter what. Her grip around the steering wheel tightened, making her fingers numb.

Jasper’s gaze had been so sincere.

But what could that prove?

Try as he might, Jasper couldn’t conceal the fact that he had slept with Zoe.

Alyssa glumly walked out of the car, only to find Jonah, Cyrus, and Sean standing outside the front gates.

“Lyse!” “Jonah, Cyrus, Sean! What are you three doing here?” Alyssa asked, surprised.

“Cyrus told me you went to Seaview Manor alone, not even bringing Sean with you. What were you thinking -taking on everybody by yourself?” Jonah said with a sigh.

He circled an arm around Alyssa’s shoulder. “But after hearing that Jasper was there, I grew less worried.

He wouldn’t let you get into too much trouble.” “Why not?” Alyssa asked tightly, brows furrowed.

“He cares about you, so he would definitely protect you.” “Heh. That joke isn’t as funny as you think, Jonah.” Alyssa’s heart trembled slightly as she pressed on, “I was his wife for three years. Yet he continued letting me be pushed around without so much as telling anyone off. What more now when we have nothing to do with each other?” “She’s right, Jonah.” Cyrus walked over to them with a sneer, hands tucked in his pockets. “Jasper Beckett is nothing but a heartless, cold-blooded jackass.

Even if he had no feelings for Lyse, he still should have protected her as her husband.

“But look at what he’s done all these years? A leopard can’t change its spots.

Look how quickly he’s gone back to his old ways right after courting Lyse!” Upon hearing that, Sean decided to ask, “What old ways, Mr. Cyrus?” +15 BONUS “Fooling around with Landon’s sister, Zoe, of course! Jasper’s known that bratty jinx since he knew how to suckle from his mother’s tit!” Cyrus was really good at insulting people, even better than his brothers could.

Jonah remained silent.

Meanwhile, Sean coughed awkwardly, neither agreeing nor denying it.

“You’re really good with words, Cyrus, Keep it up.” Alyssa nodded approvingly.

Jonah’s lips tightened into a line as he maintained his silence.

All of a sudden, his gaze fell to a spot some distance behind Alyssa.

“Jameson?” Shocked, Alyssa turned around to look.

Jameson’s car had stopped not far away. Its engine was switched off, and it remained so silent its presence was nearly undetectable.

Jameson was leaning forward in the driver’s seat, his arms resting on the steering wheel as he stared fixedly at Alyssa.

Alyssa bit her lip, meeting his eyes.

She neither waved at him nor went over.

 

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 797-Alyssa could see how Jameson slowly lowered his head into his arms, only revealing his bright eyes.

Those eyes conveyed a lonely emotion, as if he were some wounded animal.

Alyssa recalled how Jameson had this very same look in his eyes 15 years ago when Victor punished him by making him stand outside in the pouring rain.

“Fuck me. When did he arrive here? There wasn’t a sound at all. What is he? A ghost?” Cyrus shivered. chills shooting up his spine.

Jonah glanced at Jameson, then turned back to Alyssa. “Did he follow you over to the Becketts place?” Alyssa hummed in acknowledgment.

Just then, Jameson’s car engine revved up. It swiftly U-turned back the way he came, disappearing into the night.

“Huh? Is he leaving just like that?” Cyrus frowned. “Why are all the people who try to court you so strange.

Lyse? From jackass-of-the-year to stalker supreme. How could we not be worried about your safety when you’re out alone now, Lyse?” “Let’s get to the point here.” Alyssa didn’t want to talk about Jameson any longer. She said solemnly, What did you find out about Ronald, Cyrus? Is he still keeping quiet?” Cyrus sighed in exasperation. “I’m afraid I need more time. That bastard’s more loyal than we thought. He really is so devoted to Sophia that you’d think they were married.” “I’ve actually anticipated that he wouldn’t give up so easily. He’s already gone and killed for Sophia, after all.” Alyssa crossed her arms around her chest. Her face was as cold as ice.

“That’s why I want you to interrogate him according to my instructions. It will weaken his resolve and allow us to deal the killing blow right when he’s vulnerable. We’ll make his love for Sophia crumble for good,” she said.

“What do you want us to do, Lyse? We’ll do as you say!” Cyrus eagerly rubbed his hands together, determined to make Sophia and Ronald pay.

“Ronald’s testimonial for Sophia’s crime won’t be enough.” Alyssa balled her hands into fists, snarling, Sophia’s hurt Lyla so much and even made her lose her pride. I’m going to make sure she gets punished a millionfold!” “Lyse, Cyrus, I think there’s more to uncover about Ronald and Sophia’s relationship.” Jonah’s eyes were filled with cold reason as he continued, “Sophia must’ve told Ronald to attack Lyla on a whim.

+15 BONUS “If one call from her could make him take action without hesitation, it goes to show just how close they’ve remained for all these years. She likely had him take care of all her dirty deeds for her, too.” “Right? Maybe Sophia has had children with him, too. What a cuck Javier Beckett must be!” Cyrus sneered.

Alyssa treated the statement as a joke, yet couldn’t help but wonder if the truth really was what Cyrus suggested. If that truly was the case, then Sophia could be ruined for life!

But would someone so proud and as vain as Sophia, who treasured her title as Mrs. Beckett, really get together with a destitute and lowly supporting actor like Ronald?

“Hmph. If they really did have children, I hope it’s Betty. That way, Ms. Alyssa can finally get her revenge on that evil duo, and they can leave the Beckett family for good!” Sean gritted out.

Alyssa thought about some things before asking gently, “Jonah, has Axel contacted you lately? Does he know when Julien will be here in the city?” “Axel did call. He said he’s still planning things out with the Lovelace family. He’ll try to have Julien come over ASAP,” Jonah said.

He then patted his sister’s shoulder, saying, “Don’t worry. I’m still around. I’ll get you whatever you need, even if it means walking through the fires of hell.” “I’m here too! I’ll help you!” Cyrus raised his hand excitedly.

“You have me as well, Ms. Alyssa.” Sean shot her a warm smile.

Alyssa felt touched. She leaned into Jonah’s shoulder, suddenly feeling much more at ease than before.

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 798-After a whole night of expending energy, Landon finally slumped back to his and Lauren’s love nest.

Snow began to fall even before he reached the house. When he arrived, Angelina was already waiting for him outside the front gate with an umbrella.

“Welcome back, sir.” Angelina nodded respectfully when Landon exited the car.

She then sheltered him with the umbrella from the snow, exposing herself.

“Where’s Lauren? Has she gone to sleep?” Landon asked worriedly.

“Ms. Lauren has stayed up waiting for you all this while. I tried persuading her otherwise but to no avail.” Angelina smiled fondly. “Don’t blame her. She just couldn’t stop worrying about you.” Landon swallowed as warmth surged in his chest. He then walked into the villa.

Afraid Lauren might catch a cold from him, he changed into the clothes Angelina had prepared for him before tiptoeing upstairs. He wanted to surprise his darling wife. 1 When Landon opened the bedroom door, he noticed a copy of “The Nightingale and the Rose” on the bed.

However, Lauren was nowhere to be found.

Getting slightly panicked, Landon was about to call out to her when he heard the sound of running water in the bathroom.

He marched over to it, gently pushing the door open.

The sounds from inside suddenly grew silent.

“Lauren?” Landon cried worriedly. Ever since he fell in love with her, he often felt afraid of losing her. All he wanted was to keep her by his side.

Worried something might have happened to Lauren because of how silent the bathroom suddenly became, Landon kicked the door open. It nearly broke away from its hinges. 2 Lauren, who was standing in front of the mirror, screamed. She turned around to face Landon, hands clutching her head.

Landon jolted in shock, breathing growing rough and uneven.

His eyes roamed across Lauren’s face before falling on her milky white … Landon snickered at the sight before him. They didn’t come off as big, but they were unexpectedly plump.

+15 BONUS Landon’s mind went blank as desire burned in his eyes. His hands twitched slightly. It was as if he was fantasizing and desiring to hold onto something.

Lauren shrieked again upon seeing it was Landon. She shut her eyes tightly, covering her front with her slim arms. She then turned her back to him.

But it was useless.

Her pale, flawless back tempted Landon just the same, making his blood roar.

Simultaneously, desire began to surge throughout his body.

“Lauren, you… I… we….” Landon stammered, breathing heavily as he stared at Lauren.

“I-I just finished showering. I didn’t know you would be back so soon,” Lauren said meekly, her frail little body shivering. It was both tempting and pitiful.

Steam swirled in the bathroom like they were the embodiment of the couple’s intimacy.

Unable to hold himself back, Landon stepped closer to Lauren.

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 799-Lauren didn’t dare turn around even when she heard Landon’s footsteps. She continued quaking, holding onto her shoulders like some frightened bunny.

Landon, meanwhile, appeared quite like a lustful big bad wolf.

“Lauren…” Landon grunted, swallowing hard.

He gently lifted a trembling hand, wanting to touch Lauren’s skin. But Lauren spoke up just then, saying, “I- I wanted to put on some lotion after the shower but couldn’t reach my back. I would’ve f-finished earlier otherwise and been waiting f-for you in bed.” Landon’s cheeks flushed with heat. His fingers buzzed with electricity as his senses nearly collapsed into themselves.

He had had his fair share of women.

Countless tried to seduce him in whatever manner they could, whether dressed or not, and many others threw themselves into his arms without a second thought.

But none of them had ever made Landon’s heart pound so wildly or feel at a loss.

“C-can you help me, Landon? Please?” Lauren asked softly.

“Can I, Lauren?” Landon wondered if he could. His breathing was harsh and rapid by now, filled with apparent desire. His words were loaded with another layer of meaning.

Lauren nibbled on her lip as she nodded. She slowly relaxed her arms.

Landon’s heart pounded against his ribs. He did his best to calm himself before squeezing some body lotion and slowly nearing Lauren’s back.

He wasn’t going to do anything funny, no siree.

This was the ultimate test for Landon right now!

His fingers trembled as he repeated those same words in his mind, trying to suppress the roaring desire in his veins.

But the moment Landon’s hand came into contact with Lauren, his restraint snapped. He enveloped Lauren from behind, crushing her soft, milk-white body into his.

+15 BONUS “Landon…” Lauren gasped softly, cheeks flushed red.

“Don’t say my name right now,” Landon rasped lowly.

“Landon, I… “I can’t promise I’ll hold back if you say my name again, Lauren.” “Landon…” Lauren suddenly felt her feet leave the floor.

Landon lifted her by the waist, placing her on the countertop where a towel had been splayed out.

Their eyes met. Lauren’s flushed cheeks and delicate expression captivated Landon to no end.

His hands had reddened her skin with their grip, and they weren’t stopping.

Lauren’s body was soon growing deliciously pink.

Lauren wrapped her arms around Landon’s neck to stabilize herself.

Something snapped inside Landon’s being.

He was kissing her in an instant, his mind now blank. It had been so long since he’d been satisfied. His kisses were powerful and wild, nearly biting Lauren.

Lauren’s lips were bitten raw by Landon, yet there was a sliver of adrenaline in the pain that made her entire body buzz. She nearly melted in Landon’s arms.

“If you’ll have me, Lauren, I want you to bite me,” Landon panted out, his breaths warm against Lauren’s skin.

Steam filled the bathroom. Landon was sweaty. It was as if they’d done something more intense than merely kissing.

“If you don’t want to, I won’t…” Before Landon could finish speaking, Lauren leaned in to bite his lip. It was a soft, clumsy bite.

But it was enough to send Landon’s mind spiraling into ecstasy.

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 800-Lauren never said a word, but Landon could tell from the way she was flushed to her ears and her slowly quickening breathing that she had answered yes.

Landon made love to Lauren the entire night. From the bathroom to the living room, then on their bed. In the end, the couple went back to the bathroom for seconds. 1 Every inch of Lauren’s delicate, virgin body mesmerized Landon to no end. He had never felt so sated in both body and soul.

In the end, Lauren ended up feeling so sore she couldn’t move anymore. She panted weakly for him to stop, sprawled across his chest as she grew sleepy.

Landon felt like a fed lion, now thoroughly satisfied. He tended lovingly to Lauren, arm wrapped around her and gently patting her to sleep.

With his other arm, Landon flipped the blanket over.

A dark red flower had blossomed on the bed sheets.

Landon smiled, his eyes filled with emotion. He then kissed Lauren again.

“It tickles,” Lauren mumbled in her sleep, not waking up even as Landon continued kissing her.

“You really are mine now, Lauren.” Landon tucked his chin above her head, caressing her shoulder. “Don’t worry. You’ll never suffer ever again. I’ll love you for the rest of your life, Mrs. Harper.” Jasper’s slap ended up rupturing Sophia’s eardrum and even made one of her teeth loosen up.

What rage Jasper must have felt to land such a strong hit!

Betty rushed to the hospital with Sophia, the latter who ended up cursing Alyssa and Jasper the entire trip while she clutched onto her ear.

The driver was stunned. He kept on sneaking peeks into the backseat.

Who knew the usually composed and elegant Sophia would react hysterically like some rabid woman?

“What are you looking at?” Betty snapped, noticing the driver’s looks. “I’m warning you-you’d better keep your eyes on the road! One word of what happened in this car today, and I’ll make sure your life in Solana +15 BONUS “Y-Yes, Ms. Betty,” the driver stuttered “You brat! I should never have wasted my time with you, you useless imbecile!” Sophia roared, having no one else to vent to. She viciously prodded Betty’s forehead, making her sway.

Sophia continued, “Why did you just stand there and watch me get hit? Why didn’t you do anything when that bitch Alyssa pushed your own mother around?

You never once said a word throughout “I-I can’t overpower Alyssa. I might’ve made things worse if I tried! Betty whined, fists clenching tightly. Why aren’t you scolding Lauren? She didn’t once show up when you were victimized, and she still isn’t here! All she knows is to sleep around! I really don’t understand why Landon likes her so much!” “Bah! Do you still think you’re comparable to your sister? So what if she didn’t show up? She still bagged Landon Harper! Being Landon’s mother-in-law greatly boosts my reputation and is far better than whatever you’ve ever offered me!” Sophia didn’t hide her disdain for Sophia. 2 She didn’t believe it before, but now she had to admit that Betty, with her bad genetic makeup, really was a lost cause ever since she was conceived. 2 Lauren, who was Sophia and Javier’s child, was far better than Betty!

Sophia would have groomed Lauren if she’d only known. What a waste of her time and effort!

Sophia was quickly checked into a VIP ward after getting a checkup at the hospital. She lay on the bed, the pain in her ears keeping her awake. She tossed and turned, rage and fear rising in her chest.

Sophia was worried Alyssa would find out about her relationship with Ronald or that Ronald would reveal it to Alyssa.

But there was something Sophia was even more terrified of.

She was terrified that Betty, being Ronald’s daughter and not Javier’s, would be found out.
