Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue
Chapter 1811

After a night of excessive partying, Betty was woken up by a waitress in the washroom. She didn'teven have time to clean up the filth from the lower part of her body before she slipped out throughthe back door.

By the time she stumbled out, the sun was high in the sky. It was already the next afternoon.

In no condition to return to Seaview Manor looking like a mess, Betty returned to her exclusive suiteat the Berenike Hotel to scrub away the remnants of the previous night. Vivid memories of herencounter with the muscular model kept replaying in her mind.

"Damn," she thought, "size really does matter.”

It was a shame she hadn't exchanged contact information with him. She would have enjoyed arepeat performance.

Once cleaned up and dressed in fresh clothes provided by a staff member, Betty was once again thepicture of a refined lady. She instructed her driver to take her back to Seaview Manor.

Upon entering, she heard voices coming from the living room.

"Do we have visitors, Barry?" she inquired.

"Yes, Ms. Betty. Mr. and Mrs. Hodgson are here with Mr. Freddy. Mr. Javier is currently speaking withthem."

Surprise flickered across Betty's face. Freddy was indeed Zoe's loyal lapdog. He truly wasted notime.

Smoothing her hair and forcing a smile, she entered the room.

"Guests, Dad?" she interjected with feigned surprise. "Oh, Mr. and Mrs. Hodgson! And Freddy, whata pleasant surprise. Lovely to see you all.”

Javier couldn't ignore the faint scent of alcohol clinging to Betty. He frowned in disapproval butmaintained a calm exterior in front of their guests.

Orlander and Minnie looked down upon Betty. So, they simply returned her greeting withperfunctory smiles. They picked up their tea cups and sipped on their tea.

Meanwhile, Freddy avoided making eye contact with Betty, maintaining a respectful demeanor infront of his future father-in-law. It was as if he wasn't the same naked man who had been with Zoethat night.

"It's a shame that we're unable to meet with Lauren today, Mr. Javier. Freddy has prepared somegifts for her. He wanted to give them to her personally,” Minnie remarked with a smile.

"Our Freddy,” Orlander chuckled, clapping a hand on Freddy's shoulder, "never had a girlfriend! Hegets flustered around women. But for Lauren, he's going all out!"

To everyone's surprise, Betty burst out laughing, shattering the pleasant atmosphere. Smiles frozeon Orlander's and Minnie's faces. Freddy, fearing exposure, broke into a cold sweat.

"I can vouch for that, Dad. Mr. and Mrs. Hodgson aren't exaggerating. What they said is true. Freddyand I were schoolmates. He is indeed an honest, hardworking man,” Betty interjected, a pregnantpause following her words as she glanced at Freddy, whose face had drained of color.

She continued, "Freddy and Lauren are a perfect match. There is no one more suitable than him tomarry her. He knows her well, and they'll be marrying within their class.”

Javier's expression soured visibly.

"We should leave now. We've taken up enough of your time," Orlander said, rising from his seat."Mr. Javier, let's arrange another meeting when Lauren is back. Our families and the children shouldmeet again,” Minnie suggested eagerly.

Javier coughed softly, his expression troubled. "I'm sure both of you have seen the recent news. Mydaughter's current mental state...”

"We came here in person, Mr. Javier. This should demonstrate that Lauren's condition doesn'tbother us in the slightest. We don't mind it at all.”
