Can’t Win Me Back

Alyssa and Jasper had dinner at Newton’s place. Landon and Lauren were with them, too. They chatted happily and enjoyed each other’s company.

The helpers cleared the dining table after they were done with dinner.

“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.”
