Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Alyssa felt her chest tighten. She motioned at Sean to come over before pressing Silas, "Are you sure?" "Mayor Hodgson has always been prudent. He won't make things public unless it's been confirmed. That's how he managed to enjoy a smooth political career." Silas' tone took a turn. "That's why I believe the news is true. Lyse, is this an arranged marriage? Is Lauren willing to marry a man she doesn't love? Will she be happy?"
The idea of Lauren agreeing to it was preposterous. Something was fishy.
"Grandpa and Javier aren't satisfied with Landon, but they hate Harper Group even more. Even so, Lauren shouldn't marry Freddy Hodgson!"
"Lyse, do you know Mayor Hodgson's son?"
Lyse cracked her fingers angrily. "You can tell he's not a good egg just by looking at that bastard's face."
Silas and Sean grew speechless.
"Anyway, thanks for giving me the huge update. I'll make your favorite beef Wellington when I'm back home."
After the call, Alyssa took a few deep breaths to gather herself. She turned to Sean. "Sean, what's up?"
"Ms. Alyssa, you wanted me to keep tabs on Betty Beckett. Our men tailed her until she arrived at the international airport in Zinfonia. She was picked up from the airport and is now in Mosgravia."
Sean continued with a stern look in his eyes. "Zinfonia is a poor and chaotic country, while Mosgravia is a developed country with plenty of entertainment. I bet someone couldn't bear to see Betty suffer and secretly had her transported to Mosgravia."
"It can only be Javier's action. He probably felt bad for Betty and, at the same time, wanted to create trouble for Jasper." Alyssa seemed rather distracted because of Lauren, who was currently in trouble.
"Ms. Alyssa, you remember who's in Mosgravia, don't you?" Sean reminded her with a serious look.
A cold gleam appeared in her eyes. "You mean Justin Beckett?"
"As he has never shown up, we are absolutely in the dark about his standing in the Beckett family, his character, and his relationship with the other family members. I worry that Justin will accord Betty the best treatment in Mosgravia. If that happens, Mr. Beckett's efforts would go down the drain." Sean's face was clouded with worries.
Pursing her lips, she replied, "I don't think that'll happen. It's been years since Justin Beckett was in touch with the other family members. It wasn't until the last two years that he began to get in touch with Jasper.
"Over the years, he did not maintain contact with Betty, his half-sister. He would have lent her a hand if he had wanted to. What's the point of helping her in secret?"
Deep in thought, Sean nodded in agreement.
