Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Jasper and Alyssa looked at one another in shock.

Alyssa probed, "What did that man look like? Do you still remember his face?"

"Of course I do."

Angelina frowned. "He's... very good-looking."

Jasper and Alyssa were speechless. They never expected Angelina to utter those words.

"I'm not kidding. He's genuinely quite good-looking. His face is the type that leaves a lasting impression with just one glance."

"Were there any other attributes he had?" Alyssa pressed on as she was unsatisfied with the answer.

"He looked a bit familiar. I keep getting the nagging feeling that I've seen him somewhere."

Angelina knocked on her head with her fist, attempting to jog her memory.

Immediately, Alyssa rushed forward and grabbed Angelina by her wrist. She said to her soothingly, "It's alright. It's okay. It's alright if you can't recall the details. Don't hurt yourself."

Angelina locked eyes with Alyssa. Suddenly, her face lit up. "I remember now. He looked. somewhat like Mr. Cyrus!"

Alyssa was slightly taken aback. "Oh? He must be quite handsome then," she commented.

Jasper was at a loss for words.

Was this the right time to mention that?

Angelina placed her trembling hand on her injured left leg, still reeling from the shock of the incident.

"I'm certain that the assassin has undergone rigorous combat training. His skills rival those of foreign mercenaries.

"I doubt Preston has the resources to hire such an expert. But if he wasn't the mastermind, how did the assailant smuggle Madam Lauren into Harper Group's highly secure building? Moreover, he locked her in the safe room known only to Mr. Harper Senior."

"That's likely because he colluded with someone from Harper Group." Jasper's eyes were dim. "Preston has got to be one of them. And perhaps Mr. Harper Senior had a hand in it too."

Tears welled up in Alyssa's eyes, and a chill ran down her spine.

With Landon as the exception, everyone else in Harper Group seemed intent on destroying Lauren.

They were all Lauren's enemies!

Alyssa couldn't discern whether their animosity toward Lauren stemmed from her neuroatypical condition or if they simply didn't want Landon to be happy.

"Mr. Beckett, Ms. Alyssa... I have only one request to ask from you." Angelina's badly beaten body trembled as she spoke, choking back tears. "Please help Mr. Landon and Madam Lauren.

"Please don't separate them no matter what. Mr. Landon cannot be without Madam Lauren. He won't be able to live without her."

Alyssa reached out to steady Angelina, fearing she might collapse.

In truth, Alyssa had never thought of separating them. To her, Lauren was as dear as her own sister, Tatiana. Moreover, she was Lauren's sister-in-law. She had lashed out at Landon only because her heart went out to Lauren.

If she hadn't been so harsh with her words, would Landon even come to realize the gravity of the situation?

If this happened again, Lauren might very well end up dead!

"Angelina, we will try our best to convince Grandpa Newton from our side. As for the Harpers, Landon has to resolve things on his own. That is not just his responsibility toward Lauren, but also toward Grandpa Newton."

Jasper explained seriously, "The only way for us to convince Grandpa is if Landon shows enough sincerity. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to do anything even if we wanted to."

"Thank you, Mr. Beckett," Angelina uttered with a gaze full of gratitude.

"Angelina, when you get back, perform a thorough check of the room. It would be best if you're able to acquire a sample of that man's fingerprints."

Alyssa was determined. "I will then hand the fingerprint sample to Cyrus. He is a police officer. He will be able to get his forensic colleagues' help to see if they have any information about that man.

"If he's indeed a hitman, this wouldn't have been his first offense. Criminals like him would never be bothered to clean up their crime scene. So, his fingerprints would definitely be recorded in the fingerprint database. Once a comparison is done, we should be able to find out his identity."

Betty drove the car alone and arrived at Middleton Resort as agreed.

Being a pricey and exclusive members-only resort, Middleton Hot Spring boasted only a handful of customers around.

That night, the place looked as if it had been completely cleared out. There was not a single soul to be seen in the spacious reception area.

Betty had just stepped into the main entrance when she was approached by

someone who looked like a secretary.

"May I know if you are Ms. Betty?"

"You are.?" Betty replied, unsure. The man didn't seem like someone who would

work with Zoe.

"Ms. Zoe asked me to take you in. Please come with me."

After a short walk, Betty was led to the front of a door.

"Ms. Zoe is right inside. Please enter." Upon saying that, the secretary left.

Betty snorted coldly. She couldn't believe how much Zoe put herself on airs. Meeting her was like meeting royalty.

Betty pushed the door open and entered. She was welcomed by a wave of steaming heat.

Betty let out a scream in shock.

That man was startled. He froze mid-action and looked behind him quickly.

Betty got a good look at Freddy's face. Her jaws dropped!

casually. "Don't stop... Keep going." The content is on Popsnovel.com! Read the latest chapter there!
