Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Landon disregarded Javier's ridicule. He took a few deep breaths. He was still
holding on to Lauren's hand. His hands were trembling due to his nerves.
"I love Lauren. She is the only one whom I will marry. I will make her the happiest
woman in this world."
Upon saying that, he turned to look Lauren in the eyes. His loving gaze was as
deep as the sea. He welled up with tears.
"Please give us your approval for Lauren to marry me."
Lauren's cheeks flushed pink. His words warmed her heart.
Betty gritted her teeth as she watched them being lovey-dovey in front of her. Her
expression was sinister and cruel. It was as if she was about to show her true
colors at any second. She was about to transform into a monster of envy.
Javier scoffed. He responded in a cold and sarcastic voice, "Mr. Landon, you
have no right to stand in before me. I am already doing you a favor by conversing
with you right here. How dare you propose marriage in front of me? How dare
you think of marrying my daughter?
"Your standpoint was very clear during the party last time. You wanted to draw
the line with the Becketts. We have become sworn enemies.
"I see that you've been very attentive to Ms. Alyssa. You should be going to the
Taylor family to propose marriage to Mr. Taylor instead. You shouldn't be here to
see me. Though, I'm not sure what Jasper might think about that."
Landon'’s temples were throbbing. Javier's words pierced through his hopeful
heart. His anger and unwillingness were stirring him up. He was challenging his
patience.
He was fine with Javier insulting him.
He couldn't believe that Javier got Jasper and Alyssa involved in this. He was
basically launching a personal attack on him. Landon was enraged.
He was on the verge of losing his temper. He clenched his fists so tightly that
they were as hard as rocks.
At the same time, Lauren's body had stiffened up. She felt chills throughout her
body.
"Mr. Javier, I understand if you are mad at me. You can scold me all you want. I
will not talk back to you."
Landon's eyes started to turn red. "But please do not drag my best buddy and his
partner into this. I will be responsible for my own matters. This has nothing to do
with them! You shouldn't be so disrespectful toward Jasper and Alyssa!”
The atmosphere in the spacious hall turned cold in an instant.
Rory looked at Lauren. It looked to him like Landon and Javier were about to
have a falling out. He could almost feel his heart in his mouth.
Landon was a good man who valued his relationships with others. However, he
may get too emotional at times. That could really cost him when it came to
important matters.
Javier was the kind of individual who wouldn't yield when backed into a corner.
He preferred to be persuaded.
Landon might have had a chance to change the situation if he acknowledged his
mistakes and humbled himself before Javier.
However, Landon was also the son of a prestigious family. He grew up in a
pampered environment. This day was probably the most terrible and hopeless in
his entire life.
Naturally, he couldn't contain himself, as it was a challenge difficult for any man
of vigor to endure.
"You've made yourself very clear, Mr. Landon. So, I don't think I have to be tactful
with you either.”

"You would become my son-in-law if you really married Lauren. Then, I'll be
having a son-in-law whose loyalty lies with outsiders.
"That means that you would side with others at crucial moments. You might even
stab your own fatherin-law in the back. How could I allow someone like this to be
a part of the Beckett Group?"
