Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue -
Chapter 1560
Alyssa and Jasper had dinner at Newton's place. Landon and Lauren were with them, too. Theychatted happily and enjoyed each other's company.
The helpers cleared the dining table after they were done with dinner.
Then, Landon asked Angelina to retrieve a thick stack of documents from a briefcase. He laid outthe documents before Newton with the others as his witnesses.
He filled the round table with his written proof of his ascendancy. It was as if he was trying todecorate the entire table. Yet, these were only the tip of the iceberg.
Alyssa was someone used to extravagant spectacles. His title deeds alone were thick enough tomake her gasp in wonder.
"There's nothing to be envious about.” Jasper smiled. He interlocked his fingers with hers under thetable. In a soft and low voice, he said, "I have whatever he has, too. I own no less than him."
"Well, even with the both of you combined, what you own is still less than ten percent of Winston's.There's nothing for me to be envious about.”
Through her words, Alyssa expressed that she was unbothered. However, her soft gaze showed thatshe was thrilled. "It's just my first time seeing someone displaying everything like that. It's as if he'ssetting up a stall right here.”
Jasper fixed his eyes on Alyssa. He frowned and chuckled awkwardly.
He felt like kicking himself. He just tried to act rich in front of the daughter of Belbanks's wealthiestman. He was being too dense.
"Landon, these are..." Newton blinked. He already knew what the documents were, but he askedanyway.
Landon held Lauren's hand in his. He was beaming. "Grandpa Newton, this is my proposal gift forLauren. However, these are only the properties within this country.
"I also have some assets in Mosgravia and Yoarkley. I didn't have time to organize the documentsfor those. I will have them ready as soon as possible and present them to you after.”
Lauren's face flushed as red as a tomato. Her hand became clammy because of the sweat onLandon’s palms. Her eyes twinkled with happiness.
Newton wasn't a black-hearted plutocrat who would sell out his own children for money. He hadalready prepared a generous amount of dowry for Lauren. To him, all that Landon presented wasn'tnecessary.
Newton acknowledged how much effort Landon put in to prepare all these. He couldn't stophimself from smiling.
"You are someone who has the heart to cherish Lauren. That's more important than anything else.”"Grandpa Newton, it's not enough to just have the heart to do so.”
Landon looked toward Lauren. His gaze was so deep that it could penetrate the deepest parts of hersoul.
He continued, "The amount you're willing to spend on a woman shows how much you love her.Haven't you heard of this saying?"
Alyssa and Jasper exclaimed, "How corny!"
Newton, on the other hand, couldn't agree more. He nodded. It was as if he had found someonewho understood him.
In fact, that was also how Newton used to dote on Doris while she was still alive.
"I would love to give everything I have to Lauren. I want to have a grand wedding celebration. I wantthe whole world to witness this happy moment of ours.”
Landon was very eager. He wished that he could register his marriage with Lauren at this verymoment.
"No, you don't need to splurge like that! A simple wedding will do. A wedding where our familiesand friends are present would be enough.”
Lauren didn't want Landon to squander his money away like that. She became anxious. She felt likeshe was being put in a tight spot.
Landon smiled and consoled her. "Lauren, the Harpers are terrible snobs. I need to have anextravagant wedding for us. If not, they will be gossiping about you behind your back. They will lookdown on you."
Jasper took a sip of tea. "I see that you're quite familiar with your family's condition.”
Landon raised a brow. He goaded, "I've always been more self-aware than you.”
Jasper choked. He almost dropped the cup in his hand.
Landon’s marriage with Lauren was now a done deal. So, did Landon now think that he no longerhad to please him?
How mean!
Newton and Alyssa laughed.
"Grandpa Newton, I will be appointed to the position of the Harper Group's president soon. Pleasegive me time until the board meeting is over. I will then have my engagement ceremony withLauren.”
Landon was a prideful man. At that moment, a look of humility flashed across his face.
"Previously, I have always been marginalized within the Harper Group. I was known as a scion of theHarper family. But it was all just for show. The Harper Group's businesses were still in mygrandfather's and Uncle Preston's hands.
"Lauren was the one who motivated me. She reignited my ambition for power. Therefore, I want towait until I am officially the president of the Harper Group.
"Just like Jasper, I will then have the status that matches up to Lauren. After that, I will give her anofficial proposal. All in all, all these are already in the pipeline.”
