Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

At that moment, Lauren's throbbing heart began to tremble. Blood drained from
her face. She was like a terrified kitten stuck in a tree.
She pursed her lips. Out of reflex, she let go of Landon's hand.
Landon felt slightly short of breath. He grabbed her hand almost in an
overbearing manner. He held her hand so tightly that he nearly cut off the blood
circulation in her hand.
"She was with me. So what? Is that any of your business?"
Landon shot a sharp look at Betty. He stared at her coldly while she tried to hide
the glee on her face.
"There's something that I've never realized before. I didn't know you were such a
conservative woman, Ms. Betty. That's vastly different from your usual behavior.”
Betty's heart missed a beat. She turned pale. "You... What are you blabbering
about?"
"I wasn't blabbering. Just head out of Seaview Manor and ask anyone from the
upper-class society in Solana City. Just ask them about your reputation and how
wild your conduct is. It will all become as clear as day."
Landon curled the corner of his lip into a wide smirk.
"I have a number of friends who have messed around with you before. Have you
forgotten about them? I can remind you if you need me to. Who knows if Mr.
Javier also knows of them."
Javier inhaled sharply. His eyes were bloodshot. He glared at this useless
daughter of his.
"Dad. That's not true. He's slandering me! He's being mean to me!"
Cold sweat formed on Betty's forehead. She almost lost her footing and fell down
the stairs.
Her life had always revolved around sex and pleasures. She partied hard and
had a lot of one-night stands. She was famous for being a promiscuous woman
in Solana City. Thanks to her own actions, her reputation was already down in
the ditches.
She had been pretending to be a well-behaved and pure daughter in front of
Javier. This was an image she worked hard to portray in front of him.
However, Landon was now exposing her on the spot. She panicked.
Javier decided to ignore Betty for now. He focused his gaze back on Lauren.
"Come over here, Lauren."
His command was short and sweet, yet intimidating at the same time.
"Dad. " Lauren spoke in a soft and weak voice She couldn't bring herself to step
forward.
The look in Javier's eyes dimmed. He repeated sternly, "Get over here."
"Mr. Javier, I'm here today because I have something important to discuss with
you," Landon explained in a solemn tone. He had a fiery look in his eyes.
"We can talk about it right here."
