Despiteining about difort, Alyssa nestledfortably against his chest and sighed,


    "These two really worry me."


    "Lauren just had an argument with Landon. Is it appropriate to leave them alone now?" Jasper asked in


    a low voice.


    "Lauren still loves Landon. I know that. After this incident, Landon must also realize his mistake. Let


    him go in andfort Lauren. The person who caused the problem should be the one to solve it."


    Jasper nodded, smoothing the strands of hair that had fallen beside her cheek with his fingertips.


    "You''re right."


    "Angelina just told me that Cornelius will convene a shareholder meeting for the Harper Group this


    month. He''s officially appointing Landon as the president of Harper Group and letting him enter the


    board of directors. Then he''ll go to the Beckett family to propose marriage."


    Jasper''s eyes flickered, but he didn''t say anything.


    "What''s wrong? You don''t look too happy. Do you not approve of this marriage?"


    Alyssa lifted her hand to gently stroke his sharply defined face. "Don''t be fooled by my anger toward


    him. I really care about them. I just want them to be happy. I''m afraid Landon won''t take good care of


    Lauren, so I wanted to give him a warning.


    "They love each other. How could I not want them to be together? If they can get married... Lauren will


    have her own family in the future."


    "I''m happy. I just feel that as Landon''s best friend, I can''t help much with his marriage," Jasper said


    helplessly, with a hint of guilt between his brows.


    "He''ll have to go see Javier to propose, and right now, I can''t talk in front of that man. Plus,st time...


    Landon stood up for me, which made Javier very unhappy.


    "My narrow-minded father has always held grudges. If he gets the chance, he''ll definitely make Landon


    pay for it."


    "So, you think Javier will hinder your best friend''s marriage?" Alyssa blinked.


    "It''s not that I think so. It''s certain." Jasper smirked coldly. "I have no hope for Javier''s character."


    "I''ve been thinking. It''s best to settle their marriage as soon as possible."


    Alyssa, with her meticulous thinking and genuine concern for Lauren''s future, had a more thorough


    thought.


    "As you know, Javier won''t agree to this marriage easily. At the Jesseltons'' partyst time, Landon


    embarrassed Javier in front of so many Sna City elites.


    "If he agrees to marry his daughter to Landon, he''ll feel like he''s be theughingstock of the entire


    Sna City. Others will only think that the Harper family has control over him. How could the proud Mr.


    Javier bear that?


    "Now, while Grandpa is still strong, let him take the lead and push forward this marriage."


    Jasper widened his eyes at her words. As if rewarding her, he grabbed her around her waist. "Lyse,


    you''re so clever. Why didn''t I think of that?


    "Grandpa likes Landon very much and even sees him as his grandson. With Grandpa taking the lead,


    Javier won''t be able to obstruct!"


    When Landon entered the room, Lauren was weakly leaning against the headboard. Her eyes were


    dull and lifeless, while her gaze was vacant.


    A surge of heart-wrenching pain overwhelmed him, almost suffocating him. He had a hard time even


    breathing.

    Angelina stood by with a bowl of chicken soup, wanting to feed Lauren. But no matter how she


    persuaded her, Lauren refused to open her mouth.


    "Lauren..."


    Upon hearing Landon''s hoarse call, Lauren seemed to be stimted. She immediately closed her eyes


    tightly and clutched her head, curling her thin body into a trembling ball.


    Landon stood stiffly by the bedside, feeling as if a huge stone had been smashed onto his heaving


    chest. Tears of regret and heartache swirled in his eyes.
