Can't Win Me Back - Season 3 Episode 33

To facilitate the Verdane Valley project, Javier invited Mayor Hodgson and his wife to play

golf.

This place was usually frequented only by society’s elite. But today, it seemed Javier had

booked the whole place, leaving the golf range to only their own men.

Sophia was terrible at golf. Still, she dolled herself up well for today’s outing. Light

makeup, cotton golf clothes, and a sleek golf club made her look quite youthful, especially

while standing by her daughter, Betty. They looked almost like sisters.

She had brought Betty over so the Mayor and the wife could get a glimpse of her. Betty

was 25 now, after all. Sophia believed it was time for Betty to marry, despite her

obsession with Landon

Harper.

“Mr. and Mrs. Hodgson,” Betty greeted politely, putting on her sweetest smile.

“This must be your daughter. She’s even more beautiful in person!” Minnie Minks, now

Mrs.

Hodgson, said with a beam.

That made Sophia and Betty tense up for a quick second. While Minnie might not have

intended.

mocked Betty’s embarrassing moments from that time, along with hurtful comments and

nicknames. 1

Orlander Hodgson nudged his wife gently, clearing his throat. Only then did Minnie realize

what

she had said. She gave an embarrassed laugh. “Aha… your daughter truly is a beauty,

Beckett. She might be the prettiest among the bachelorettes in Solana City.”

“You’re very kind, Madam.” Sophia beamed, holding onto her daughter’s arm. “Where is

your son, I

wonder? I’ve long heard how fine a young man he is. He even studied in the same

institution as

my Betty did.”

“Ah, he had some matters to tend to today.”

“What a shame. Another time then. I’ll arrange another get–together for both our

families,” Sophia

suggested enthusiastically.

Minnie gave her a perfunctory laugh. “Haha, of course. When there’s time, yes… Anyway, I

thought you have another daughter, Mrs. Beckett? Your youngest, I believe? She isn’t here

with

you today?”

Betty’s fake smile nearly crumbled. It was clear as day that Minnie wasn’t interested in her

whatsoever.

Betty was unaffected. After all, she wasn’t interested in their son either. But bringing up

that little

bitch she had to call her sister was too insulting!

Sophia replied, “My youngest has weaker health than most of us, so she often stays at

home to

rest. She’s also quite introverted, so I didn’t ask her to join us today.”

“Oh dear. Does she have some medical condition?” 1

“No, no. It’s no big deal. She just needs to stay at home to rest.” Sophia assured, though

she had

already heard Minnie’s implicit message. The woman clearly liked Lauren more than Betty.

But her daughters weren’t products to be pondered and bought over!

At this point, Javier and Jasper had already gone through a few rounds of golf with

Orlander. They

were taking a stroll, chatting leisurely.

“We’re so glad you let us handle this project, Mr. Hodgson.” Javier laughed heartily as he

shook

hands with Orlander.

“We’re more than just business partners, old friend. Of course I had to have you help me

with this.”

Orlander had known Javier for over two decades.

“Come, let’s go out tonight. My treat!”

“Thank you,

but it’s

‘s my father–in–law’s birthday tonight, so I won’t be free,” Orlander said. “We can

drink our fill this Friday once the contract is signed!”

Jasper kept a straight face as the two men talked, but he felt increasingly anxious.

He needed to snatch this project under his name before Friday. If they signed the contract

this

Friday, he would have very little opportunity to make progress in the future.

Even if he exposed Sophia’s crimes, Javier would still insist on keeping the matter within

the

family circle rather than making it public.

That was why the only recourse Jasper had was to create something so jarring and

shocking to
