Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 567

Sophia reveled in satisfaction. Javier had better whip Jasper with all his might. Even if

Jasper survived the whipping, they’d have at least released the pent-up anger and

humiliation.

All the servants at Seaview Manor were summoned to the first-floor main hall and

assembled in a few

rows.

Betty couldn’t contain her delight upon hearing about Jasper’s whipping. She sought out

Lauren, who had nearly slipped her mind. “Hey, you idiot!”

Betty kicked the door open. Lauren, who was sketching, dropped her pencil onto the floor

at the sudden Intrusion. “W-What’s going on, Betty?”

“It’s time to witness the spectacle downstairs! Jasper is about to get whipped! Hahaha!”

Betty cackled like a maniac.

Lauren felt her heart skip a beat. “Jasper? But why?”

“It’s all because that insolent little shit insulted Dad to his face!” Betty replied with a

malicious grin. Hmph! Does Jasper truly believe he’s untouchable just because he’s the

company’s president? He wouldn’t have gotten the position if it weren’t for Justin’s health

issues!

“Dad would have shipped him off to some obscure company branch in the world if he

hadn’t pitied Jasper for his mom’s untimely death! Jasper’s really taking things for

granted.”

Betty might have called Lauren an idiot, but Lauren was far from one. She picked up

Betty’s disdain for

Jasper from the remarks.

Feeling frustrated, she mustered all her courage and retorted, “Jasper isn’t that kind of

person. You must

have joined hands with Mom to bully him.”

“You fucking idiot! What did you just say?” Betty yelled and charged at her. She closed her

eyes in fear

and reflexively shielded her head.

“M-Ms. Betty,” a maid called out to Betty just in time with an urgent tone. “M-Mr. Javier

wants you and

Ms. Lauren on the first floor right now.”

Hearing that, Betty dropped her arms resentfully. “Got it!” Then, she stormed out of the

room.

The maid hurried up to Lauren and felt bad to see Lauren turning pale. She asked, “Ms.

Lauren, are you

okay?”

tears welled

pin her eyes.

“Oh, just look at your Nina Carle grasped Lauren’s cold hand and rolled up the sleeve to

reveal patches of bruises

She was nearly brought to tears by the sight. “Your skin is covered in bruises from Ms.

Betty’s bullying! This can’t go on! Why don’t you tell Mr. Javier about it? Madam Sophia

might ignore the bullying, but your father will certainly speak up for you!”

Lauren quickly withdrew her hand and hung her head silently. Then, she mumbled, “You

You should go. Il head downstairs soon. Dad wants me there

Nina groaned and left as instructed

After the door closed, Lauren quickly retrieved her phone and dialed Alyssa’s number.

After moments of

hesitation, she made the call

Alyssa answered promptly, her voice soft and concemed “Hey, Lauren! What’s the matter?

Do you need

help?

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Lauren choked up, and tears began to roll down her

cheeks.

“Lauren? Lauren, what’s wrong? Why didn’t you say anything? Alyssa’s tone was filled with

worry.

“Alyssa, they’re bullying Jasper†)

Alyssa was confused by the remark Thinking that Lauren was exaggerating she teased,

“Oh, is that so? Who has the power to bully Jasper, though? He’d get nd of them if they

tried”

“Mom and Dad are bullying Jasper Dad is going to whip him Lauren anxiously paced

around.

“Whip him?” Alyssa was taken aback

“Please, Alyssa! Can you. Can you save Jasper? Dad is going to whip him soon. What if he

hurts Jasper

badly?”
