Can’t Win Me Back

-“Lauren…” Jasper and Alyssa were both stunned.

Alyssa then smiled faintly and looked at Lauren gratefully while feeling warm inside.

“Lauren is right. Are you spreading rumors right in front of Mr. Beckett and Ms.

Landon held Lauren by the shoulder and gazed coldly at the gossipers. “If you have the guts, go ahead and say another word. Harper Group will play along with you.”

Those gossiping women, already embarrassed by Lauren’s scolding, were further intimidated by Landon’s fierce demeanor. They didn’t even dare breathe, cowering like a bunch of quails.

“I recognize you. You’re Mr. Jameson.” Lauren elegantly lifted her skirt and walked over, blocking Alyssa from view. It was the first time she had boldly met the gaze of a stranger. “Mr. Jameson, are you Alyssa’s friend?”

Alyssa smirked at that question. The word “friend” seemed tainted when used in connection with Jameson. But she didn’t blame Lauren. The innocent Lauren had no idea of the darkness behind it all, and Alyssa didn’t want her to know either.
