Ch. 801..810
Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 801-If the truth about Betty’s birth father was exposed, Sophia knew that she and Betty would be done for.
Sophia was confined to the hospital for three days, during which Betty stayed by her side, battling boredom. On the third day, the swelling on Sophia’s cheek finally subsided.
Throughout her stay, Javier never once visited.
Betty called Javier numerous times during the wait, imploring him to visit Sophia at the hospital.
However, he coldly dismissed her.
Betty thought Sophia might break down in tears due to Javier’s cold treatment.
After all, every wife would yearn for the love of her husband. It was only natural to be distraught if a spouse abandoned them in the hospital.
To Betty’s surprise, Sophia appeared relatively calm about Javier’s dismissal.
Instead of kicking up a fuss, Sophia went about her life, taking all three meals and recuperating from her injuries. Yet, there seemed to be more beneath her seemingly normal behavior.
Sophia’s calmness bewildered Betty. In her recollection, Sophia couldn’t live without Javier. Surprisingly, Sophia looked tough and heartless during the hospital stay, like she had never loved Javier at all.
“Mom, Dad hasn’t visited you at all in three days. Why do you seem so calm?” Betty blurted out curiously.
“Forcing it upon him wouldn’t work. Your dad is just like Jasper. The more you pester them, the less you matter to them. Just leave them be, and these wretched bastards will come back to you naturally,” Sophia explained, disgruntled, while grappling with mixed emotions.
She refrained from reaching out to Javier in the past three days out of fear.
Despite being healthy enough.
for discharge, she dared not return home. Instead, she prolonged her hospital stay to “recuperate”, hiding away from him.
After facing Alyssa’s accusations that night, Sophia sensed that Javier had looked at her differently. She decided to use her hospital stay to devise an explanation to salvage her image in Javier’s eyes.
At that moment, the door swung open. They heard Javier saying, “Wait out there. I’ll check on Madam.” “Sure, Mr. Javier.” Sophia and Betty were taken aback when they heard his voice. Sophia hurriedly retrieved a cushion foundation from under her pillow and dabbed the foundation on her lips, seeking to make herself look sickly.
“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.
Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 802-The air in Sophia’s room hung heavy with tension.
Sophia was once pampered by Javier. He might even be more attentive to her than to Newton when Newton was sick. When she fell ill, Javier would worry and visit her daily.
Yet, after three days, he hadn’t shown up, which was a first.
She leaned weakly against the headboard, her lips trembling. Through her tears, she stared longingly at him.
Sophia started, “Javier, have you been busy? I know it’s hard to get away from the work at Beckett Group. I understand. I’m fine, though. Just a ruptured eardrum and I’ve had surgery-” Javier interrupted with a low, stern voice, “Sophie, I’m here to ask you something. Was Alyssa telling the truth?” Sophia was caught off guard, and her eyes wavered.
“Javier, do you still doubt me? But I’m your wife. You know how I treated you over the years. I’ve given you two daughters and risked my life giving birth to Lauren. After all I’ve sacrificed, how could I possibly cheat on you with a murder suspect?” She wailed, “Javier, don’t you love me anymore? This is what happens when you don’t love a person- you’ll distrust her! Everything she does will look suspicious to you.” Beneath her rage, unease, and nervousness lurked. Her confrontation masked her inner panic.
“I wasn’t talking about Ronald Branson. I will look into your relationship with him,” muttered Javier emotionlessly. “I was talking about Lyla Nelson. Were you behind the attack against her?” “No! No! That wasn’t me!” Sophia raised her voice and tried to clarify, “Why would I hurt her? What could I gain from it? There’s no need for me to take that risk.” Javier stared at her while tightening his grip on his phone, which was warm in his hand.
In the past three days, he had instructed his secretary to investigate the relationship between Sophia and Ronald secretly.
Some of Alyssa’s claims were untrue-Sophia didn’t secretly date Ronald or give Ronald her necklace as a love token.
However, some claims were partially true. Sophia knew Ronald from their time at TS Network, and they When Javier entered, he found Sophia leaning weakly against the headboard, staring at Betty through tears. Sophia mumbled, “Betty, I’m thirsty. Can you get some water for me?” Sophia’s ability to produce tears reminded Betty of that bitch Liana Gardner, whose whereabouts were uncertain.
“Dad! You’re finally here!” Betty covered her mouth, feigning a look of shock.
Javier fixed his gaze on the feeble Sophia in bed with an inexplicable look. She felt uneasy under his scrutiny.
Javier said, “Betty, taking care of your mom must have been tough for you. I’ve asked the family maids to take over. Go home and rest.” “Sure. Dad, Mom, I’ll leave now,” said Betty, who cast a knowing glance at Sophia before leaving the room and closing the door behind her.
“Ms. Betty, I’ll send you home,” the bodyguard at the door addressed Betty politely.
She refused, “It’s fine. Give me the car keys. I need to go on a drive.” Frustrated, Betty headed to the underground parking to retrieve the car. After three days in the hospital, the scent of disinfectant clung to her clothes.
Now, she wanted a new outfit for herself. Afterward, she planned to unwind at a luxury spa.
Suddenly, she felt an excruciating pain in her neck when she approached her car. She let out a scream before losing consciousness.
When she collapsed to the floor, Angelina showed up behind her, looking dazzling yet ruthless. Angelinal ordered, “Take her away.” “Got it, Ms. Angelina.” Two men in black emerged and dragged Betty away as if she were a ragdoll.
Today’s Bonus Offer
Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 803-Sophia looked shocked. Innocent and naive didn’t seem like adjectives to describe her. It almost sounded as if Jávier were talking about someone else entirely, perhaps Jasper’s mother, Anne Bartley.
His description irked her.
Without missing a beat, Javier pressed on, “You don’t appear to be in need of protection. Even without me around, you seem determined to achieve your goals by any means and exact revenge on those you hate.” A furrow formed on his forehead, and his gaze darkened.
Javier added, “Consider this your final warning. I hope you behave yourself and don’t hurt the innocent. Do not give our family more trouble. If you don’t listen, I will have no choice but to send you abroad, far away from the drama in Solana City.” Sophia trembled in rage when she heard Javier threatening to send her away.
She barked, “Javier Beckett, what was that? Are you dumping me now? Do you want to turn me into a divorcee, all because of Alyssa Taylor’s baseless claims?
Or do you have feelings for Winston Taylor’s woman? Is that why you unleash your anger on me and try to get rid of me so that you’ll get to marry a new woman?” 1 “What on earth are you talking about?” Javier rasped.
He was consumed by rage.
“Oh, I hit the mark, didn’t I? Feeling guilty now?” Sophia straightened, casting a resentful glare at him.” Rumors were circulating on TS Network about you and Lyla when she worked there. People claimed you actively supported her career and wanted to be her sugar daddy!” Javier’s shoulders tensed as he silently clenched his fists.
Sophia accused, “Lyla Nelson is your dream, and I’m merely a stand-in. Isn’t that right?” Finally, she had vocalized the thoughts that had long festered within her. It was a cathartic release, leaving her both refreshed and infuriated.
She added, “Lyla would have been Mrs. Beckett if she hadn’t tarnished her image with drug use. It wouldn’t have been me!” “Enough!” Javier snapped, his veins pulsating.
“Hmph. If you loved her and wanted to protect her, you should have stepped in when she embarrassed because you were a coward.
“You were terrified of damaging your reputation as the head of the Beckett Group. You failed to protect her in the past, so why do it now? Is it to make up for your past failures?” Thoroughly provoked, Javier growled, “Sophia Kirkman, shut up!” She snickered in disdain and taunted, “Your son is infatuated with a woman who isn’t his, and his father is no different. It seems both Beckett men are enchanted by the Taylor women.” Unable to control his anger, Javier slapped her in the face. Sophia felt her eardrum was about to rupture again. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she stared at him hatefully.
Realizing what he had done, he stood there in shock and curled his numb fingers. For the first time in his life, he had physically assaulted a woman. He had been raised to treat women with utmost respect, yet he couldn’t restrain himself due to Sophia’s audacious behavior. 1 “How could you hit me?” Crying hysterically, she leaped from the bed and ran barefoot toward the balcony, threatening to off herself. “What’s the point of living? I should just die right now!” Wide-eyed, Javier yelled, “Somebody, help!” The secretary and the bodyguards rushed in from outside and fearfully pinned down Sophia like she was a suspect.
Sophia cried her lungs out. She looked like a total mess with her tear-stained face.
With a heavy heart, Javier instructed, “Arrange for two maids to take turns looking after Madam. The rest of you guard her door 24/7. You’ll be held accountable if anything happens to her.”
Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 804-“Yes, Mr. Javier!” his staff replied.
After that, Javier shook his head glumly and left with heavy footsteps without taking another look at Sophia.
Sophia’s mouth hung open. Her legs trembled as her body slowly slumped to the floor.
There was no use crying and throwing a tantrum. Now, even when she threatened to take her own life, Javier was unwilling to stay by her side and pay her any attention.
She wondered if Javier no longer loved her, questioning whether she was merely a replacement for someone else and if he had never truly loved her.
Then, she let out a series of maniacal cackles that scared the wits out of the poor bodyguard. He stammered, “M-Madam, are y-you alright?” “Great. I guess we are on the same page. You’ve never loved me, and I’ve never loved you. But Javier, I am the winner at the end because I am the one who forced the love of your life to death!” “Ouch. It hurts like hell…” Betty groaned.
She woke up drowsily and found herself in a humid and filthy environment.
When she squinted, she realized she was in an abandoned garage, where the moldy smell perforated the air. Two rats squeaked as they ran along the wall.
After the rats ran away, the squeaking didn’t cease as though they were mocking her.
“I-Is there someone here? Help! Save me!” Amid her panicked screams, the door creaked open.
After she adjusted to the blinding light, she found a voluptuous figure approaching her. Any man would be tempted by the sexual appeal of that mysterious woman.
Betty immediately recognized Angelina. She gasped, “I-It’s you! You’re the woman who follows Landon around!” “Good evening, Ms. Betty. You were unconscious for a very long time. It was a long wait for me,” Angelina spoke while she narrowed her eyes. She pulled on her black leather gloves with an amused look.
“Did you abduct me and dump me over here? How dare you do this to a Beckett? You’re asking for trouble! Betty seethed, but she was fearful. “What the heck is this place? Let me out, or I’ll make you suffer! Even Angelina chuckled louder and tilted her head, entertained by Betty’s crazy behavior.
Betty realized that she couldn’t talk sense into Angelina. So, she got up from the ground and dashed toward the door while screaming, “Somebody help me!
Argh-” She felt dizzy as a stabbing pain spread across her abdomen. Angelina had kicked her in the stomach. Flung into the air and falling hard onto the ground, Betty groaned loudly from the pain that spread across her body.
Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 805-“How dare you hit me? I’m Betty Beckett. You…” Betty curled into a ball from the pain and drenched in sweat. She rolled around like a burrito and moaned, but her voice gradually faded.
She was surprised by Angelina’s strength, which didn’t seem typical for a woman, Angelina scoffed. “So what? I can hit you as long as you’re not Ms. Lauren.” She chuckled and stretched her neck. Then, she cast an icy glare at Betty. “Your life, to me, is as worthless as those rats in the corner.” Betty was incensed and humiliated upon hearing that. She got up from the floor with gritted teeth and resolved to fight Angelina with every ounce of her energy.
However, before she could even stand, Angelina kicked her again with greater force.
Yelping, Betty splatted on the ground, feeling excruciating pain throughout her body. Tears, snot, and dust.
covered her face, turning her into a mess.
Angelina, devoid of remorse for hitting a woman, was about to deliver a second kick when Landon’s voice came through the earpiece, “That’s enough, Angie. You’re too hard on her. If you kick her once more, I bet you’ll cripple her.” Angelina drew back her leg and replied, “Yes.” Betty’s soul almost departed her body from the pain. She vaguely heard the ruthless Angelina talking to someone through the earpiece. However, she couldn’t make out the conversation.
Angelina mused, “Do you plan to leave her alone?” “You don’t have to go hard on her. Just give her a few slaps to teach her a lesson,” Landon instructed nonchalantly.
Simultaneously, in his black Rolls-Royce, Landon watched the warehouse scene unfold on a screen. The pitiful sight of Betty brought him cathartic satisfaction and amusement.
No. That wasn’t enough. The thought of what Betty had done to Lauren enraged him. How he wished he could crush Betty and avenge Lauren for all the past bullying.
Still, he had to show some respect to Betty, as she was a Beckett. Before he got into power at the Harper Group, he wouldn’t want to jeopardize his position by creating trouble.
He wasn’t worried about any trouble per se. He was only worried about Lauren’s safety. He feared that he At the thought of his promise to wed Lauren and the challenges ahead of them, he felt a burden on his chest. He let out a heavy sigh, and his warm breath tickled Lauren’s ear while she slept in his arms.
She moaned softly and opened her eyes drowsily, her gentle and adorable doe eyes meeting his.
“Did I wake you up, hmm?” he wondered aloud.
He stared down at her and brushed his lips against her reddened ears. He loved her so much. Each hug or kiss made him crave more of her.
“Mmm… No. I just happened to wake up,” Lauren muttered.
Though a late bloomer, after experiencing intimacy with Landon, she seemed to have matured from a young girl into a woman, as if her soul and body had awakened.
She heard his deep breathing and felt his kisses traveling southward, with a desire to explore further.

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 806-Blushing profusely, Betty understood that Landon was aroused, so she sneaked into Landon’s arms.
“Stay still. Let me kiss you a little more,” Landon said to her tenderly as he engaged in a tongue kiss with her, pinching her chin. Dizzy and defenseless, she succumbed to his passionate advance.
Landon was abruptly interrupted by a deafening slap through his earbud as things were about to escalate. Halting, he removed the earbud with a frown.
“L-Landon, is that Betty?” Lauren clung tightly to his waist, staring in disbelief as Angelina slapped Betty on the other side.
“Yeah. No one is as ugly as that heartless sister of yours,” Landon replied, observing Betty’s distress from the assault.
Lauren witnessed Angelina holding Betty up from the ground by holding Betty’s hair. Then, Angelina started slapping Betty indiscriminately.
A few rounds later, Betty’s haughty and pretty face swelled, her nose bleeding, and her eyes struggling to open.
Angelina, trained in martial arts and serving as Landon’s bodyguard, proved to be ruthless and strong.
“I’m sorry. Please stop! Please stop it!” Betty pleaded for mercy, suffering in pain.
The more she screamed, the more satisfied Landon seemed.
“Why would you hit her?” Lauren exclaimed in shock and tugged at his arm. “Tell Angie to stop!” “Darling, why would I?” Landon caressed Lauren’s face.
She blushed embarrassedly and pursed her lips upon hearing his nickname for her.
Landon’s eyes gleamed murderously. “I told you I’d protect and hurt those who bullied you. I want them to suffer. I cannot forgive what Betty has done to you.
“I’ve shown mercy for too long, and it’s time she paid for her actions. This is just the beginning.” Lauren quivered. Landon treated her gently, but the look in his eyes had changed.
She knew he was only nice to her and ruthless to the others. She might find it hard to understand and approve of his behavior, but she loved him regardless.
“Darling, just watch the performance without worry,” Landon said, holding her waist. “It’s boring to be at At the thought of his promise to wed Lauren and the challenges ahead of them, he felt a burden on his chest. He let out a heavy sigh, and his warm breath tickled Lauren’s ear while she slept in his arms.

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 807-Jim Ford, the old driver who had served Landon for decades, looked shocked by Landon’s transformation. He had lots of admiration for the adorable Lauren, who had saved Landon from the abys Ever since the loss of his father, Landon had dwelled in darkness, becoming increasingly cynical and callous. However, Lauren had managed to breathe life back into him, rekindling his human emotions. Jin was glad for Landon.
Slowly, Lauren calmed down and sobbed quietly in Landon’s arms, paining him.
Sometimes, he forgot the fact that Lauren was autistic because she was always energetic and innocent He secretly looked for treatments abroad but didn’t get anything useful. The experts from abroad merely recommended therapy and long-term care, a long and grueling process that not many could withstand However, he had to do it for Lauren. He had chosen to be with her and was determined to spend the rest of his life with her.
“Thank you, Landon, for not beating up Betty,” she mumbled.
“Why do you want to protect her after what she has done to you? She hurt you, cursed you, and hit you,” wondered Landon with a frown.
Lauren sniffled and answered, “Because she’s my sister. Mom and Dad love her a lot. They are happy when they see her. I don’t want Betty to be hurt. That will upset them.” It was a mind-boggling sentiment. Lauren, to appease her parents, was willing to make peace with her aggressor.
Choking up, Landon felt the stabbing pain spread across his body. He remarked, “Lauren, you are too kind.
Her kindness moved him. And that same kindness also served as a beacon of light in his dark life. She was the antithesis of everything in his life, yet he yearned to be with her.
thought. He immediately tensed up as he battled his desire for her. He was utterly aroused.
“Landon, do you want to do it here?” she asked.
Not knowing how to describe sex, she vagued it up, which was even more alluring to him.
Quietly and stoically, Jim, the driver, raised the partition between the front and back seats, providing them “Lauren, you’re naughty,” Landon said.
Sweat dotted his forehead. He slowly tightened his grip on her supple breasts.
She replied, “No, I’m not. I just wanted to thank you.” Blinking, she pouted. “Forget about it, then. Mmhm-” He sealed her lips with a kiss that quickly escalated. He sucked on her lips, rendering her breathless. Their tongues danced with each other.
Landon’s fingers ran themselves all across her body, causing her skin to flush.
“You can’t take back what you’ve said, my darling,” teased Landon. He loosened his tie and went on top of her, saying, “Only you can take care of what you started.”
Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 808-Alyssa enjoyed a hot late-night bath and changed into her pink silk night robe.
She tied her long hair with a towel and whistled a tune as she descended the stairs, looking radiant.
Despite all her recent troubles, she knew her luck would turn around soon.
Besides, as a Taylor, she knew she could get anything she wanted, even if it were the nation’s presidency.
However, Jasper Beckett remained a headache for her.
The thought of Jasper frustrated her to no end. She thought Jasper had fallen for her. She even gradually warmed up to him and accepted him, only to be disillusioned.
Men were disappointing and despicable, and Jasper was the worst of them all.
The more she thought about it, the more upset she became. Her lips turned into a scowl.
Sean beamed at her from the living room and said, “Ms. Alyssa, I made some hot soup. Would you like some? It’s not going to ruin your diet plan.” Alyssa felt sorry for Sean, who was sweaty from all the cooking. She told him, “Sean, you’re my secretary, not my nanny. You don’t have to cook for me. I’ll ask Mandy to send me a maid from our Belbanks home to cook for me. I appreciate your thought, but you’ve worked hard all day.” “Ms. Alyssa, your dad arranged for me to work for you, including taking care of your daily life. I’ve been doing the same thing over the years,” Sean argued, worried that he might not be important to Alyssa anymore.
She shook her head and said firmly, “I told you before that you should pay more attention to those worthy of your love, such as Taty.” He clenched his fist as his heart skipped a beat.
She advised him for the sake of Tatiana’s happiness, “You’re busy working for me in the day. Don’t bother taking care of every detail of my life. Just be good to Taty. You’ll hurt her if you are distracted.” “Ms. Alyssa, my feelings for Ms. Tatiana-” Not in the mood to discuss relationships, she cut him off, “Sean, any news from the hospital?” All she wanted was to get back at Sophia.
After a pause, Sean pursed his lips and replied, “Our Intel in the hospital reported that Sophia Kirkman and Javier Beckett have gotten into a fight, just as you expected.
“After the fight, Javier did not stay at the hospital and didn’t show up in the last two days either. Congratulations, Ms. Alyssa. You’ve succeeded in coming between them.” “Once we sow the seeds of doubt, Javier will start suspecting Sophia. Her life with the Beckett family will be hellish from now on,” Alyssa said with a cold smirk. “Only by ruining their relationship and pressuring Sophia will we see her true colors.” She wanted to drive Sophia to the brink of sanity, destroying her once and for all.
“By the way, as you requested, I looked into Sophia Kirkman’s daily routine. She would go for a routine touch-up weekly, and she has a close relationship with her plastic surgeon at the private clinic. He’s a rather handsome guy in his early 40s.” That was interesting.
Intrigued, she crossed her arms and clicked her tongue. “Mm, I got it. But I wonder if a man in his 40s could satisfy her needs. After all, he’s not as vigorous as a twenty-something.” Sean flashed her a half smile and quipped, “It must be hard for that poor doctor.” “One of them is after money, and the other wants sex. It works out for both of them.”
Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 809-The doorbell rang at that moment. Sean was puzzled. “Who’s visiting at this hour?” “Sean, answer the door. She’s my guest,” instructed Alyssa.
Sean remained confused, for Alyssa hadn’t told him about the guest before this.
Still, he put his thoughts aside and opened the door.
A young and good-looking lady in her 20s stood there. She was dressed in athleisure wear and a black cap.
“You are…” Sean wondered, examining the woman before him.
“I-I am Nina-Nina Carle. I’m a maid at the Beckett family who works for Ms.
Lauren,” Nina nervously introduced herself while checking out the surroundings.
Upon learning that she worked for Lauren, Sean immediately pieced the puzzle together.
“Sorry, Nina. I couldn’t pick you up because of some reasons. I had to trouble you to visit me,” Alyssa greeted Nina and held her hand. Then, she led Nina into the living room.
“It must be cold outside. Your hands are frozen. Didn’t I ask you to hail a cab?
Don’t worry about the fees,” Alyssa said.
“It’s fine. I took the bus and changed to the train. It was pretty convenient,” Nina answered, her cheeks red from the cold.
She trembled, feeling touched by the care that the ex-Mrs. Beckett had shown her.
Alyssa felt bad for Nina when she recalled the walking distance from the train station to the neighborhood. She knew that Nina wanted to save some money.
Sean made a cup of hot tea for Nina and gave her a hot pack. Nina sat on the living room couch for a while before she recovered from the cold.
“Madam-Sorry, it’s Ms. Alyssa. Thank you for taking care of Lauren all this while,” Nina whispered firmly. I witnessed how you treated Ms. Lauren when you were still with the Beckett family. Look, I’m willing to do anything for Ms. Lauren.” Alyssa observed Nina’s eyes. They were as clear as Lauren’s. She suddenly felt a heavy burden on her heart.
She had no idea if she was making the right move, but she needed to place a trustworthy figure by 1/2 After looking into the household staff, she finally picked Nina to be the spy.
Sean pressed his lips. He knew that Alyssa wanted Nina to spy on Sophia.
Alyssa explained, “Nina, I want you to gain Sophia’s trust and stay by her side. If possible, I need you to install a bug in her bedroom.” Alyssa’s eyes darkened, and she went to the point, “I want to track every single detail of her life from now on.” Nina, stunned, gripped tightly onto the hot pack without a word.
“Nina, I know this is tough for you. After all, Sophia Kirkman is Lauren’s mom and the family’s matriarch.
This mission comes with some risks as well…” “Sure, I’ll do that.” After a brief pause, Nina slowly looked up with a steely determination and swore, “I will complete every mission to the best of my ability. I bear witness to what Ms.
Lauren went through over the years. Madam Sophia was only good to Ms. Betty, treating Ms. Lauren like one of the maids. Ms. Lauren was only treated with respect when Mr. Javier and Mr. Jasper were home.” Alyssa and Sean teared up when they heard Nina’s remark. Nina continued, “I like Ms. Lauren, but I am clear-headed. I judge Madam Sophia and Ms. Betty by their actions, not by their relationship with Ms.
Lauren. I won’t allow them to hurt Ms. Lauren just because they are her family.” Nina’s eyes brimmed with tears. “If it weren’t for Mr. Landon, I didn’t know who else could pull Ms. Lauren out of that hellhole. Mr. Landon is really nice to her.”
Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 810-Alyssa recalled how Landon and Lauren held hands and looked at each other lovingly. She was touched and envious of their love.
Lauren had found her love. Alyssa wondered when it would be her turn.
“Ms. Alyssa, you are nice to Ms. Lauren too. I will help you no matter what it takes,” said Nina.
Alyssa held her hand and replied, “Thank you, Nina, but please look out for your safety. Don’t push yourself. If you run into danger, let me know right away.
“We can abort or give up on our plans-as long as you’re safe. Got it?” Nina nodded with tears in her eyes. Since Nina hadn’t had anything, Alyssa made her some food and even served Lyla’s pickles. It was a simple but satisfying meal.
Nina wolfed down the food, clearly famished. Alyssa sat across from her, resting her chin on her palm and smiling.
Alyssa asked, “Is it delicious?” “Yes! It’s good!” Nina exclaimed after licking the plate clean and wiping her mouth. “Ms. Alyssa, you’re an excellent cook. Mr. Jasper is fortunate to have you.” Sean was left speechless by Nina’s unexpected remark. Alyssa, still smiling, teased, “Too bad he doesn’t appreciate it. He won’t get to enjoy it anymore.” After Betty was badly beaten up by Angelina on Landon’s instructions, she quietly flew to Hestrya to recuperate and fix her face. She dared not add to Sophia’s troubles, and she kept her injuries a secret from Javier as well.
Angelina wouldn’t have assaulted her without Landon’s directives. Betty knew that if she made a fuss out of the issue, she’d only humiliate herself and her family. Not only that, she might suffer from Landon’s retaliation.
She never wanted to experience the agony of sharing a room with rats and merciless beatings.
However, she still wanted to get even, or she’d never get over the humiliation Post-surgery, with a bandaged head, Betty returned to Solana City. While in the car, she received a call from Zoe.
Zoe barked into the phone, “Hey, where the fuck were you? I couldn’t reach you at all.” Zoe addressed her in an authoritative tone, as usual.
Betty, in pain, pressed against her bandaged face and retorted, “Watch your tone. I’m Betty Beckett, not your maid!*
“Poor you. I haven’t gotten even with you when you humiliated me in front of Jasper. You have no right to be mad at me now,” jeered Zoe. “Whatever. I’ll overlook that. Someone will pick you up tomorrow. Go with me to my engagement dress fitting.” “Engagement? Whose’s engagement?” “My engagement to Jasper!” “What?” Betty gasped, looking stunned. “Jasper can’t possibly agree to that unless he’s lost his mind.” “He hasn’t agreed yet, but it’s just a matter of time,” Zoe asserted. “Wait and see. He’ll cave in soon, and I’ll be your sister-in-law.”
