Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

However, Freddy was a man of dignity and didn't want to argue with Landon right then and there. He noted this incident in his mind and vowed to make Landon pay for it.

"Lauren, let's go," Landon said, gripping Lauren's tense shoulders before leading her away.

"Lauren!" Freddy called out to Lauren's retreating figure with a smile. "I've just returned from Yoarkley not long ago. I'm planning a class reunion in a few days. Will you be able to attend?"

Lauren closed her eyes tightly and took a few deep breaths, trying hard to expel those unbearable memories from her mind.

Landon's hand on her shoulder tensed visibly, and he glared coldly at Freddy. "Birds of a feather flock together. My wife belongs to a higher circle. None of you deserve her attention."

Zoe and Freddy stood frozen in place with the same ugly expression on their faces.

Alyssa and Jasper's appearance instantly became the center of attention. They didn't set out to steal the spotlight, but their sheer magnetism and presence commanded attention effortlessly.

Men were admiring Alyssa, and women were eyeing Jasper. Such outstanding individuals appearing together in public were like two luminaries, captivating everyone's gazes.

"Lyse, Xavier just messaged me, saying that a group of reporters has entered Schmidt Manor," Jasper whispered. His voice was low and pleasant.

"They can enter Schmidt Manor? Then it's not our people." Frowning, Alyssa swayed a champagne glass.

"Do you want to find out who they work for?" His gaze subtly changed.

"No need. The more reporters, the better. Isn't this exactly what we wanted to see?" Alyssa squinted her eyes and elegantly sipped her champagne, leaving a faint lipstick mark on the rim of the glass.

At that moment, Landon and Lauren entered everyone's sight, their fingers tightly intertwined.

Some guests who were familiar with Harper Group greeted Landon, "Mr. Landon, your girlfriend is truly beautiful."

"This is my wife."

Landon's gaze was tender and affectionate. Ignoring the surrounding gazes, he held Lauren's hand and kissed her fingertips. "In my eyes, she's the most beautiful woman."

Countless praises and admirations surrounded them.

Normally, with Landon by her side, Lauren would feel extremely safe. But at this moment, all she could see in her mind were Zoe's and Freddy's faces; all she could hear was their piercing laughter.

Her face turned pale, and she felt her blood turn cold bit by bit.

"Dad, Jimmy has no manners and is too full of himself. It's one thing that he sent an invitation to Alyssa M privately, but he's been absent all evening on such an important day. It's just me and Claire here. Isn't this ridiculous?" The content is on Popsnovel.com! Read the latest chapter there!
