Semua Bab Can't Win Me Back: Bab 571 - Bab 580

The spacious hall remained quiet. Amused, Alyssa blinked and smiled.Jasper was cheered up by the animated look on her face and put behind the pain he was enduring. He fixed his eyes on her with a contented smile.In the meantime, a hushed astonishment gripped the onlookers as they watched Newton berating the current patriarch, Javier, in their presence. The public scolding was doubly humiliating, given Javier's prominent social standing. He had turned into a punchbag.Javier, nursing a wounded ego, flushed with anger and hissed, "Barry, please get everyone to leave the hall.""No! No one is allowed to leave before we settle this matter once and for all!" Newton declared with authority. When she was angry, Alyssa bore a striking resemblance to Newton, as if they were blood relatives."Dad, what do you mean?" Javier inquired, his brows furrowing in anger."It means exactly what you think it is!" Newton responded, his eyes half-closed as he taunted his son, "If you can bruise Jas

Alyssa, Jasper, and the others followed Newton back to Crescent Bay villa. Newton enthusiastically held Jasper and Alyssa's hands with each of his, refusing to let go at all.Not only that, he cussed out Javier and Sophia with creative, colorful language during the trip. Alyssa even worried that he would get exhausted from all the name-calling.After venting his anger, Newton started feeling bad for Jasper. He moaned and sighed about his poor grandson while discreetly trying to put Jasper's hand on top of Alyssa's.Jasper smiled at Alyssa from beside Newton as his heart exploded in joy. She noticed his passionate eyes but merely pressed her lips and ignored him.Her indifference worried him, and he tried to hold her hand. All of a sudden, the warmth in his hand disappeared as she had removed her hand.He gazed up and accidentally met her eyes. She was glaring at him as though she would skin him alive.Jasper resigned to the current situation. It seemed that he had failed to hold

Just as a spectacle had ended, another was about to start. As Javier and Jasper weren't home, Betty was emboldened to act out.She was convinced that Lauren had leaked news of Jasper's punishment to Newton. So, she marched to Lauren's room and dragged Lauren to the living room by her hair. She seemed to have picked up a thing or two from Javier and decided to reenact the punishment right away."B-Betty, let go of me! My scalp hurts!" Lauren pleaded, tears welling up as she felt the pain in her hair."You little traitor! Bitch! Oh, it hurts? Great. I'll teach you a lesson for selling out!" Betty cursed vehemently while delivering a stinging slap to Lauren's face."Ouch!"The loud slap echoed through the hall, leaving the household staff shocked and concerned for Lauren. However, they remained powerless to intervene as mere employees.Lauren covered her face and wept, "Betty, it's all my fault! I will not repeat my mistake!" She knew that no one would come to her help. She had wa

"Release her," Landon commanded, his gaze unwavering as it bore down on the two maids. His tone carried a menacing edge akin to an infernal angel. The two maids nervously looked to Betty for help.Betty was aware of Landon's affection for Lauren from the way he ordered the maids around. She had wanted to cave in for her Mr. McDreamy but changed her mind upon second thought.Following Sophia's clash with the Harpers after Zoe's incident, any hopes of Landon developing feelings for Betty had been shattered. Moreover, Landon's intervention in their family affairs, even if it was out of concern for Lauren, was entirely unwarranted.Brimming with resentment, Betty hissed, "Do not release her! You're working for the Becketts, and you shall listen to m—"Her words were abruptly silenced by a piercing scream. One of the maids restraining Lauren was sent hurtling through the air by the force of Landon's kick. Betty stared in shock as the maid landed on the floor like a ragdoll.The sec

As a secretary cum bodyguard, Angelina frowned at Nina's appearance and instantly shielded Landon. Nina approached them and fell on her knees, rendering them dumbfounded."Mr. Harper, would you please help Ms. Lauren? Could you?" Nina pleaded in tears as she knelt on the cold ground."Angelina, help her up," Landon ordered. "Stand up, and we'll talk."Angelina attempted to help Nina up, but Nina shook her head and refused to do so. She begged, "I won't get up unless you promise to help Ms. Lauren. I may be a humble servant, but I'll use my limited power to help her just this once!"Landon's heart grew heavy, and he demanded to know, "What is going on?"Nina wiped away her tears and shuffled up to Landon. Then, she gingerly rolled up Lauren's sleeve. Landon and Angelina were stunned by what they saw next.Lauren's pale arm was full of old and new bruises alike, enough to shatter anyone's heart. Landon's eyes flared with anger, and his muscles tensed beneath his shirt.He hissed,
