Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
Chapter 318

Chapter 318

Betty was one of Zoe's few friends. Zoe had befriended Betty primarily because Betty hailed from the esteemed Beckett family. Zoe deemed Betty worthy of her friendship.

"Gosh, Betty, you look gorgeous today! And you've even brought gifts. You really didn't have to do that," Zoe smiled brightly and welcomed Betty at the entrance. They held hands like best friends. "Zoe, I missed you so! You look prettier than when we last met!" Betty complimented Zoe with a hidden agenda.

Knowing that Landon adored his sister, Betty believed that forming a strong friendship with Zoe would give her a valid reason to visit the Harper Residence.

Her plan involved playing the long game by winning over Penelope Harper's affection and eventually getting Zoe to speak highly of her to Landon.

It was only a matter of time before she and Landon talked about marriage. She couldn't help but gloat over her clever plan.

"I came back from my Sedona trip a few days ago and picked up some souvenirs. I bought some for you and your mother. They're nothing much, though. I hope you don't mind."

Zoe smiled knowingly at the stack of luxury brand boxes. "Is the gift for Landon somewhere in there?

"O-Of course... I'm just worried that he might not like it and won't accept it." Betty blushed and lowered

her head.

"Look at you! How badly are you crushing on him? You turned red at the mention of his name," teased

Zoe, who beckoned to Betty. "Give it to me. He will take the gift if I hand it to him."

"Thank you, Zoe! Love you!" Betty quickly picked out the gift for Landon in excitement.

Zoe opened the exquisite box and found a platinum lapel pin encrusted with blue diamonds. She could tell that it was pricey from a look.

At that moment, Landon descended from the swirling staircase in his haute couture purple YSL suit,

which he paired with a rose-patterned black shirt. He looked regal and seductive as usual. (1)

Betty stared at her Mr. McDreamy with her mouth wide open, almost unable to contain her admiration.

"Landon!" Zoe called out to him sweetly. Landon's face lit up at the sight of her, but froze when he noticed

Betty.

"Ms. Betty, what brings you here?"

"I... I..." Betty swallowed hard and cowered in his presence.

"I invited her to our place." Zoe gave Betty a hug and leaned on Betty's shoulders. "Betty and I get along well. Don't you know she's my best friend in Solana City?"

"Is that so? I had no idea." He narrowed his eyes and snickered. "Zoe, I am not against you making new friends, but you have to be careful.

"Some friends are good for you and helpful to your future. The same cannot be said for the calculative ones, who are a bad influence."

Zoe quietly glanced at Betty, who appeared pale and ashamed.

"I know, Landon. I'm 22 now. I can tell the good people from the bad."

"I know you don't have many friends in Solana City because you were away. If you're interested in meeting new people, I can introduce you to Alyssa Taylor, the lovely lady you met on the night of the concert." Landon's demeanor softened at the mention of Alyssa. "As it happens, she's a close friend of Christina. I believe you two will have plenty to talk about and become friends."

Befriending that beautiful woman? Zoe secretly scoffed at the suggestion. She would never befriend her

love rival.

Landon went up to Zoe and gave her a soft pinch on the cheek. Before he left, Zoe snuck Betty's gift into his hand. "Betty carefully picked out this gift from Furancia for you. Treasure it, will you?" Zoe whispered. He accepted the box without a word and left.

"See? I knew it. Landon will take anything I give him." Zoe puffed her chest while Betty cast her a grateful

look.

Landon left the room glumly. He did not have the urge to check out the contents of the exquisite box. He was about to thrust it away when he was reminded of Zoe's words. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

He spotted his secretary standing by the side and tossed her the box. She caught it and asked blankly," What's this?"

"It's a gift for you."

She opened the box and looked stunned. "It's a lapel pin, though. I don't have a boyfriend, so I have no use

He glared at her impatiently. "Tsk, just give it to your dad or do whatever you like with it!"
