Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

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

“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.”
