Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 574
Alyssa silently rolled her eyes at Jasper and mused, “Did I ask for your opinion, you jerk?”
“Go on, Alice! I believe you wanted to discuss this after careful consideration,” Newton said gently.
“Grandpa, I hope you can step in and bring Lauren out of Seaview Manor to live with you,” Alyssa voiced out without
reservations because she treated Newton as family.
Jasper concurred, “I agree.”
Alyssa shot back, “I never asked for your input.”
He narrowed his eyes and grinned. “It’s okay. Even if you didn’t ask for my opinion, I wholeheartedly
support the idea.”
She glared at him irritatedly and clenched her jaw. She was so frustrated that she nearly left the car.
Newton asked with concern, “Alice, did you suggest this because something happened to Lauren?”
“She is autistic, but her parents are busy taking care of the family and running a company. I’m afraid they don’t have time to look

She fumed at the thought of losing Javier’s affection just after she had regained his favor. She hated Newton for messing it up for
her, and she equally resented Alyssa.
“Fuck that Gid man! And that bitch, Alyssa! They both deserve to rot!” Sophia muttered in growing anger, her rage taking hold of
her until she trembled like a madwoman.
Then, she heard a knock on the door. She instantly snapped, “Who is that? I said not to disturb me!”
“M-Madam, do you want to take a look downstairs?” a maid mumbled fearfully from the other side of the
door.
“What is it now?”
“M-Ms. Betty is beating up Ms. Lauren. We dare not get involved. Won’t you check out the situation?”
