Can’t Win Me Back

Betty covered the receiver with her hand. Even though she was furious, she still
tried to act sneakily.
“Just a little while ago, Landon came to my house to propose marriage. Initially,
my father wasn't in agreement. Then, Alyssa and Jasper showed up with
Grandpa!
“With a few words, Grandpa gave my father an earful. He even sealed the deal
on Lauren's marriage with Landon! They are going to be engaged soon! Surely
Landon will knock that idiot up right after.
“What use would there be for you to come back after that? Are you going to
celebrate becoming an aunt?” There was silence on the other end of the call.
“Hey! Say something...”
“Don't you worry. I'm not the only one among the Harpers who does not wish to
see Lauren marrying Landon. A marriage alliance between wealthy families may
seem like a strong alliance, but in reality, it is full of weaknesses. A small misstep
is enough to make everything fall through.
“Jasper and Alyssa are hopeless romantics. How many more individuals of this
sort are there in the world? Landon? Hah, that would be a joke,” Zoe sniggered
without hesitation.
That said, there was one thing that she couldn’t deny—Jasper and Alyssa’s love
was steadfast. The love they shared was unseen and unheard of in Solana City.
Before Betty could respond, Zoe continued, “One more thing. You didn’t even get
to have a funeral for your mother. You must be bored to death. Freddy came to
Yoarkley to see me recently.
“How about you come over and spend some time with me? I can pay for your
expenses if you're short on cash. You have a private plane, right? If not, I can
pay for your flight, too.”
Betty was enraged with embarrassment.
Earlier, she had been ridiculed for failing to find a husband. On the very same
day, she got mocked for being poor. She wished that she could destroy the entire
world.
“That Freddy is your lapdog. Others might not know it, but I do. Why would I fly
over to where you are? I'll just end up watching you both being lovey-dovey with
one another.”
“That's up to you then.”
Betty took a moment to calm herself down. She instructed one of the helpers to
brew some chamomile tea. Then, she brought it over to Javier in person.
Now, they were the only two members of the Beckett family who were in Seaview
Manor. Earlier, Landon was so brutally honest in exposing her dark secret.
Naturally, she had to seize all possible opportunities to cajole Javier.
She took a deep breath before knocking on the door to the study.
Rory opened the door. He looked at her coldly. “Ms. Betty, what brings you here?
Mr. Javier isn’t feeling too well. He needs to get some rest.”
“Uh... I noticed that he didn’t look too good. So, I went to the kitchen and made
him some chamomile tea,” Betty answered with an innocent look.

Let her in,” Javier ordered in a low
voice. Rory then stepped aside to
make way for her, albeit unwillingly.

“Dad.”
Betty carried the tray as she swaggered forward. In a coy tone, she said, “I made
this for you.”
“Thanks. Just leave it there,” Javier replied frigidly. He didn’t even look up at her.
