Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 1103

Meanwhile, Zoe kept her head low in anger. She dared not utter a word after what had

happened.

Betty learned about the incident just now and secretly laughed and relished in Zoe’s rare

display of dejection.

Preston laughed merrily and replied, “Dad, don’t mention it. Of course, I’d help my niece. I

can’t be helping the outsiders, can I?”

His remark reminded Cornelius of Landon’s recent behavior.

Right then, Landon showed up and announced, “Grandpa, Mom, we’re here.”

Everyone turned to look at him. He strode over, fingers interlacing with Lauren, looking as

sweet as newlyweds.

Landon cast a loving gaze at the shy Lauren, to the envy of the onlookers. Nevertheless,

there was tension in the air. Cornelius and Penelope treated the couple with an icy

demeanor.

“Oh gosh, is Mr. Landon with Ms. Lauren now?” Daisy, who was oblivious to the complex

dynamics, broke the ice. “Wow, you make a lovely couple! Congratulations in advance to

both of you, as well as your parents!”

Javier and Sophia seemed unbothered by the remark, but Penelope’s smile froze. Betty

stared glumly at Lauren, only to be stunned by

Lauren’s outfit.

Lauren was clad in a light yellow chiffon cocktail dress adorned with black ribbon, the work

of renowned designer Rose Emerson. Betty burned in jealousy when she set sight on

Lauren’s dazzling dress, especially because it was tough to get one’s hands on Rose

Prior to this, Betty had attempted to make appointments a few times, only to be turned

down. Never had she expected her younger sibling to have the honor of wearing Rose’s

design before herself. Betty worried that the others might look down on her and think that

she was beneath Lauren despite being born into the same family.

Betty did not have to guess. She knew Landon had bought the dress for Lauren. The

thought added to her resentment. She clutched at her dress so tightly that she nearly

ruined it.

“If I remember correctly, you’re friends with Jasper, aren’t you, Landon? Your friendship

resembles mine with Winston. It’s great news that you’re in love with Lauren and getting

hitched,” remarked Victor with a smile.

He turned to Cornelius and remarked, “Congratulations, Mr. Cornelius. When’s the

wedding?”

Cornelius smirked without answering, a clear indication of his

disapproval of Lauren, which he did not bother to conceal in front of

Javier.

The situation grew awkward. Cornelius’ attitude did not sit well with Javier and Sophia.

Despite her heartlessness, Sophia could not stand seeing the Harpers looking down at her

daughter.

“Mr. Victor, the wedding is near. When the time comes, I will send your the invitation in

person. Do grace my big day with your presence,” said Landon as he held Lauren’s hand

with a bright smile. It was as if they were getting married tomorrow.

All the while, Lauren stared at her feet shyly and stood close to her lover. The love

between them was firm enough to withstand harsh disapproval.

“Landon, marriage is not child’s play. It is a serious matter that needs.

her emotions.

Still, she couldn’t bring herself to openly express her disapproval like Preston had

encouraged her to do. Instead, she opined, “You haven’t known Ms. Lauren for that long.

Don’t you think it’s unwise to talk about marriage at this stage?”

“That’s right, Landon. You’re notorious for dating around before you settled down with Ms.

Lauren. You pampered your exes, giving them

whatever they wanted.”
