Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 404
Landon’s sister?
The two guys who shot up just now exchanged a look before sinking onto the couch again. The one with bleeding head
managed a feeble smile and chuckled, “Haha, it turns out it’s Ms. Harper! Please forgive
me!”
“Landon, what are you planning to do?” Zoe was spurting fire at the sight of Lauren in Landon’s arms.
“Zoe, what are you planning to do?” Frowning, he shot the same question back at her.
“Hah, how dare you interrogate me? Is it because I am in your way? Do you feel like I’ve thwarted your plan?” She glowered at
him.
Landon responded, “I’m fine with you hitting him with a bottle because he disrespected you. But have you forgotten what I told
you? I told you not to visit ACE unless necessary. Even then, you need to inform me
beforehand, and I’ll make the arrangements.
Acting like a stern, concerned older brother, he continued, “Why are you always rebellious? You can’t let me have a moment of
peace. ACE is a rowdy place. I can’t protect you in time if anything happens to you!”
“Quit acting like you care about me, Landon Harper!” Zoe placed a hand on her hips and pointed a finger
at him indignantly.
She accused, “Just admit that you’re angry because I put a stop to your plan! Lauren is Jasper’s sister. How dare you fuck his
sister behind his back, you shameless scumbag?”
“Zoe Harper,” he hissed, his face darkening.
Zoe felt a tremble and stumbled backward. In her memory, he had never addressed her by her full name
He must have been truly angry with her.
He took a deep breath and warned, “You have no business being here. Go home!”

“I’ll go home, but only with you!”
Zoe’s shrill voice pierced the air as she protested. “What? Are you going to sleep with her?”
Landon, losing his patience, called out loudly, “Angelina!”
“I’m here, Mr. Harper,” Angelina rushed in.
“You will personally see Zoe home.
“Will do.” Angelina only took orders from Landon as his secretary and personal bodyguard
did not show mercy to Zoe and dragged the latter out by the arm.
“Argh! Don’t touch me! Get your dirty hand off me! You’re hurting me, you know? Fuck off!” Zoe’s screams
fell on deaf ears.
To Zoe, Angelina was a monster bred by Landon, who had a firm grip that was impossible to shake off.
Zoe was finally hauled away as everyone watched on.
Deep in the night, Alyssa was enjoying her facial mask as she lit her handmade rose-scented incense sticks and lay in the
bathtub full of rose petals. She was ready for rejuvenation and relaxation after many
tiring days.
“Oooh, that feels good,” she whispered to herself. Her toes curled in delight, and her eyes narrowed with contentment. She felt
like she deserved either the company of a man or a soothing bath in her life.
She was interrupted by a call from Sean. He was working overtime at the hotel instead of escorting her home because he
needed to tie up some loose ends. Doing so would help reduce her workload tomorrow.
“Sean, let’s discuss work tomorrow if you can’t manage to finish everything on time. Go home and get some rest,” she spoke to
Sean on speaker as she played with the floating petals in the bath.
“Ms. Alyssa, I... um... I witnessed something just now, and I thought you should know,” Sean began.

hesitantly, his voice tinged with concern. “But promise me you’ll stay calm.”
“Pshh, I’ve encountered my fair share of situations in life. Just tell me what’s going on.”
Sean took a deep breath and disclosed, “I saw Landon Harper checking in at the hotel with Lauren
Beckett just a little while ago.”
Alyssa immediately sat up in the bath, “What did you just say? Who’s checking in at the hotel? With whom?
“Landon Harper and Lauren Beckett. I’m sure I got the right person. He checked into a room with her.”
Alyssa inhaled sharply before letting out an anguished growl, “That fucking animal! Get me a gun! I’ll shoot
that bastard in the crotch!”
