Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue
Chapter 1799

"I don't need that bastard to make a sound! I will not allow Lauren to marry into that hellhole!" In anangry voice, Newton instructed Ben, "Ben... Make it known that the Beckett Group will not have anybusiness relations with the Harper Group moving forward!

"If I replace out that any of our business partners have any association with Harper Group, we will notpartner with them anymore! We shall see if there's anyone else who still doesn't understand ourstance!"

Ben nodded seriously. "On it, Mr. Newton!"

"Grandpa." Jasper frowned. He walked to Alyssa's side with an air of frigidity around him. "Landon ishere. He's right outside. He wants to see you and Lauren.”

"Tell him to scram!" Newton waved

Alyssa and Jasper looked at each other helplessly. They were aware that Newton didn't actually hateLandon.

However, it was true that he hadn't protected her properly. It was also a fact that he was Corneliusgrandson. Undeniably, he would feel some resentment.

"I'm afraid that he will never leave if he doesn't get to see you and Lauren," Jasper spoke up in adeep voice.

Newton continued to stare at Lauren and didn't say another word.

It was obvious what his stance was.

In the courtyard of the villa, the air was tense. That night, there was a sudden drop in thetemperature. The rain continued to fall and the coldness was chilling to the bone.

Landon stood in the rain resolutely. His pale face was whiter than snow.

He was only wearing a thin suit. After standing there for over an hour, his hair and body weredrenched. He felt as if countless nails were being driven into his muscles and his bones.

He had assigned Jordan to deal with the aftermath of the incident.

Angelina, on the other hand, had insisted on coming over with Landon after she cleaned up herwound briefly. She didn't mind if she wasn't able to meet Lauren on this night. She was satisfied byjust being able to watch over her from afar.

After waiting in silence for a long while, Landon's entire body had become stiff and numb. Then, hesaw a pair of charming figures approaching them with an open umbrella.

"Mr. Landon, it's Mr. Jasper and Ms. Alyssa..." Angelina uttered weakly. She could barely standbehind Landon. Her chapped lips had already turned purple from the cold.

Jasper carried a black umbrella and had a glum expression on his face. Two-thirds of the umbrellawas covering Alyssa while half of his own body was exposed to the rain.

"I heard that you got hurt, Angelina. How are you?"

Alyssa disregarded Landon completely. She focused her concerned gaze on Angelina's pale face. "I'lltake a look at your injury later,” she offered.

"I'm fine. Thank you for offering, Ms. Alyssa,” Angelina choked.

Her incompetence had resulted in Lauren suffering mental distress. She should be thankful that shewas still alive. She was too embarrassed to receive any grace from Alyssa.

"It's alright. It's no trouble at all. Come in with me in a bit. You can stay here for the night,” Alyssasaid in a gentle voice. She didn't sound like she blamed her at all.

Angelina's pupils constricted. "Ms. Alyssa..."

"We think that Lauren witnessed what had happened to you. That's why she became sooverwhelmed."

Jasper put his arm around Alyssa's waist. He continued in a warm voice, "I'm sure that Lauren willfeel a lot better when she wakes up and sees that you're fine. You want to be by her side too, don'tyou?"

"Thank you... Thank you, Mr. Jasper. Thank you, Ms. Alyssa.” Angelina bowed deeply. Tears startedstreaming down her cold cheeks silently.

Sean walked over. Upon receiving Alyssa's instruction, he showed Angelina the way into the villa."Mr. Landon..." Angelina longed to see Lauren, but she couldn't bear to leave Landon standing righthere either. Anxiousness flashed across her eyes and she found herself in a dilemma.

"Go ahead. It's more important that you keep Lauren company,” Landon said. His voice wasextremely raspy.

Angelina followed Sean's lead and left the courtyard.

Right after they left, Alyssa pulled herself away from Jasper's embrace. She ran toward Landon in therain.

She glared at him through her bloodshot eyes. All of a sudden, she grabbed him by his drenchedcollar.
