Can’t Win Me Back

Sebastian understood what Alyssa wanted.

There wasn't substantial proof to prove that Jasper had abused drugs in the first place. The substance found in his blood was simply supporting evidence.

As long as they found the right opportunity to reveal that, it wouldn't completely exonerate him, but it could at least divert public suspicion.

"Okay, okay... I'll do that. I'll do everything you say!" Sebastian promised.

After emerging from the Bender residence, Landon took Zayne away to keep him under close watch and ensure Sebastian wouldn't retract his statement. Landon planned to release him only after Sebastian fulfilled Jasper and Alyssa's request. "Landon, it's really nice to see you. How's Lauren doing lately?" Afraid of looking at Jasper, Alyssa had no choice but to speak with Landon.

"She's doing great."

A tender look came across Landon's eyes at the mention of Lauren. Landon blushed and continued, "We're now trying for a baby."

"Really? That's wonderful!" Alyssa was genuinely happy for them.

"Yeah, we'll share the good news with you both when it happens," Landon said, excitement lighting his face.
