Ch. 101..110
Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 101-“The morning sunlight was warm and gentle. Alyssa woke up in her soft bed and did a full–body stretch under the blanket. She stretched her arms as far as she could with her bottom lifted. Her demeanor was like that of a drowsy cat.
She changed into a white athleisure outfit and went rowing at the lake in the backyard as usual.
Sean had freshened up early in the morning. He stood by the lake with a water bottle in his left hand. A clean towel hung on his right arm. He waited for Alyssa to be done.
“The videos of Betty harassing our hotel employee have been taken down from the internet. Even the trending keywords were gone.” Sean handed her the white towel and thoughtfully opened the bottle cap for her.
He continued, “There is some online traction on the scandal right now, but it will die down in no time. I don’t think anything will come out of it.” That’s unsurprising. The Beckett Group’s PR and legal machinery are the best in Solana City. Plus, Jasper Beckett has taken over those departments.” She wiped away the sweat from her forehead and panted lightly.
“Did Jasper Beckett remove the videos and the keywords?” Sean’s eyes widened.
Alyssa tossed her hair and downed the water with a gleam in her eyes.
Her neck, reminiscent of a swan’s elegance, showcased a delicate and graceful arc. She made his heart flutter with a simple act of drinking.
“Jasper Beckett is now seeking advantages and minimizing his losses.” She wiped away the water droplets on her lips with the back of her hand. She smirked. “If I had known him through business, I wouldn’t have fallen for him at all.” She met the wrong person at the wrong time. To sum it up, her relationship with Jasper was a decision that went against her better judgment and morals.
“How do you plan to fight back?” Alyssa’s innocent and divine eyes seemed to twinkle with slyness. Her dark eyes flickered as she arrived at an idea.
“The employee is still at the hospital, isn’t she? I’ll inspect the hotel and attend a meeting. After that, you’ll go with me to the hospital to check on her.” The female hotel employee at the Mercy Hospital had been transferred to an ordinary ward. A few hours later, she was shocked to see Alyssa, the general manager, visiting her. She scrambled up from her bed to greet Alyssa.
Alyssa forced her to rest. With a warm smile, she said, “Ella, just lie down. Don’t be nervous. You’re in recovery. You need to take care of your health first and foremost.” “M–Ms. Alyssa! I’m sorry to trouble you!” Ella lowered her head in shame. “I never knew I was sick with this illness. I really didn’t know. It was all my fault…” H “I checked your medical history. This was your first time suffering from the symptoms. The symptoms did not surface before this. You did not knowingly hide the truth from us. So, please don’t blame yourself.” Alyssa smiled. 1 “P–Please deduct the hospital bills from my pay!” “It’s alright. You suffered a work injury. The hotel has submitted the claim on your behalf.” “Ms. Alyssa, thank you…” Tears of gratitude and sadness flowed down Ella’s cheeks.
“I’m here today to ask you a question.” Alyssa put on a straight face and asked in a clear and gentle tone, “How do you wish to go about the incident with Betty Beckett?” “She’s the daughter of the Beckett Family. I can’t do anything because I have no power. I noticed that they have also removed the videos online this morning. Us ordinary folks can’t even rely on social media to air our grievances…” Ella hung her head in despair.
“The Beckett Group might not give you the right to speak up, but I shall grant you permission to do so.” Alyssa squinted her eyes and said with determination.
Ella’s eyes widened in surprise. “D–Do you want to… “If you want an apology from Betty, we need to expose more details from the incident. That might bring some inconvenience to your life. That’s why I’m here to ask for your opinion. After all, you’re the victim. I might be your boss, but I can’t do as I wish without considering your feelings,” Alyssa explained calmly.
“I–1 want Betty Beckett to apologize to me. It can be a private apology…” “That won’t do. I want a public apology from her,” Alyssa was curt.
“A–Are you saying that you want her to publicly apologize to me? How is that possible?” Ella’s jaw fell.
“Ella, judging from Betty’s brazenness in humiliating you in front of everyone, she’d never offer you an apology in private,” Jasper explained patiently. “However, she will have to apologize to you in the eyes of the public.” 2 “Ms. Alyssa, i–it’s fine! I don’t want trouble for the hotel and you!” Scared, Ella quickly shook her head.
“Don’t worry. If Betty retaliates, she’ll be digging her own grave. Moreover, I do so because of other a public apology, you may leave the rest of it to me. I will not allow my employee to be humiliated.
Betty might have wanted to shut down the controversy, but Alyssa wouldn’t allow it.
Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 102-Alyssa could stomach the divorce, but she would never want to lose to the Becketts.
When Alyssa left the patient’s room, she put on a pair of sunglasses to hide the fire in her eyes.
She called Axel. He answered the call and yelped, “Lyse, you finally remember me!” Axel sounded cloying and begrudged. “You probably didn’t know this, but Silas laughed at me and said you were giving me the cold shoulder. I freaked out! F***! I will never lose out to that prick!” “You are all my brothers. Why would you fight for my favor? Don’t make me sound like a playgirl, please. I’m not Cleopatra.” Speechless, she fell silent before telling him in a hushed voice, “Axel, may I get your help on something?” “Oh my god! What’s with that tone of yours? I’m done for! Lyse, tell me, do you not love me anymore? Is our relationship cooling down?” Axel, ever the drama queen, turned into the melancholic lead of a soap opera. 1 He continued, “Why do you sound formal with me? It looks like I should go back to you. If I don’t, you’d forget my handsome looks two more years down the road!” “Axel, are you done? I need your help!” Alyssa yelled at him impatiently, which attracted the gazes of the doctors and nurses. They weren’t expecting Alyssa’s explosive speech from her pretty face.
“That’s right! Just talk to me like usual. I feel much better now. Tell me, what’s up?” Axel grinned.
Her eyes darkened. She lowered her voice. “I’ll upload a video tomorrow. I hope you’ll pull some tricks to make it stay online for a bit.” “How long?” “At least until the news has spread.” “Hah, no problem. But Lyse, shouldn’t you repay my favor? Hm?” He spoke lazily in a hoarse voice that sounded rather seductive.
“Are you trying to milk it? Fine, tell me what you want.” She lifted a brow and challenged him.
“Can I beat Jasper up to release my anger?” She was baffled by his idea. “Get lost!” t- The next day, Jasper was seated at the start of the meeting table in the Beckett Group office. He had an exquisite and regal look but an air of haughtiness that scared the others away.
“We must bid the land in East Cathia as soon as possible. All related departments must communicate timely and carry out their responsibilities.” During his speech, someone checked their phone. Eyes widened in shock, and the said person patted his colleague to the left.
That went on around the meeting table until everyone in the meeting room was made aware of the news that had spread like wildlife.
“Is this your first time joining my meeting? Don’t you know my rules?” He looked up with a sour face and gave everyone goosebumps.
At the same time, his phone buzzed. He looked down and scrolled his phone before glowering.
After the meeting, he returned to his office with a sullen expression.
“Didn’t I ask you to remove the videos of Betty online? Why is it trending now?” “The video was uploaded this morning! The PR department didn’t have the time to respond to it.” Xavier was sweating. “I have contacted Twitter to take it down, but we can’t!” “We can’t? Hah, is that a funny joke?” Jasper’s tone was ice–cold. “You have half an hour. I do not want Betty’s name on trending.” He’d get rid of any threat against Beckett Group as soon as it emerged.
“M–Mr. Beckett! Look at this!” A bewildered Xavier showed Jasper the phone.
The first hashtag on trending had changed to #TheAngelWhoSavedtheDay.
Jasper pursed his lips as he tapped on the trending topic with doubt. In the next second, he burst into a temper. The video captured the scene where Alice saved the hotel employee and exposed Alice’s face.
Now that his ex–wife had been exposed in the video, she’d be more widely known to the public. An unexplainable panic gripped him.
Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 103-At the same time, the mood was tense in the general manager’s office at KS Grand Hotel.
Alyssa stood before the floor–to–ceiling window with her hands on her back. Her sleek figure. exuded an air of power and dominance.
“Has anyone ever asked you to upload that video?” “You wanted me to upload something that would spark controversy…” Sean stood behind her with a straight back and a glum face.
“Sean, you are my secretary. Not only that, we grew up together. You should have known my pet peeve!” She turned around. “You mix your personal agenda while working for me. I know what’s going on. You wanted to boost my perception online–using my kindness to further highlight Betty’s wrongdoing.” The more she spoke, the more he lowered his head because each word went straight to his heart.
“But I’m telling you now. I don’t need it.” Her look grew icier. “I lent a helping hand because I could. It was out of moral value. No matter how much I hate Betty, I wouldn’t attack her by claiming the moral high ground. An act of kindness will lose its meaning when it attracts attention and judgment.” “Ms. Alyssa, it’s my fault. I thought that.” “It’s useless to explain yourself now.” She grabbed her phone with an expressionless face. “I’m calling Jonah to take you back. I don’t vibe with your working style.” “No! Ms. Alyssa!” All colors drained from Sean’s face as he grasped her wrist.
“Please, punish me as you wish! I can clean the toilets at the hotel or wash dishes in the kitchen!
What about deducting my pay?” He pleaded, “I only have one wish–please let me stay by you.” Frowning, she felt the pain in her wrist from his strong grasp. The passion in his eyes came as a shock to her.
Sean came from a family of attorneys. His father was a judge, and his mother was a famous attorney. His two older brothers held important jobs in the judiciary.
The Lynch family might not be of wealth, but they were respectable in Belbanks.
As the youngest, Sean received an excellent education and grew up well–loved.
However, he was willing to humble himself for her and the Taylor Group. He could have had a brighter future, but he would rather serve as her secretary.
+15 BONUS At the thought, she was touched and sighed. “This is your last chance. I won’t go easy on you if you ever do it again.” “Thank you! Thank you, Ms. Alyssa! I will not act on my own anymore!” His eyes glistened with tears of joy.
“Tsk! Look where your hand’s going.” She looked down and smirked. He realized that he was holding her wrist. Heart pumping wildly, he withdrew his hand as he blushed. Her scent seemed to linger in his palm.
“Um, Ms. Alyssa, how about your trending topic…” “I’ll tell Axel to deal with that. Come with me.” She tapped on the blazer hanging on the clothes stand. He got the hint and helped put the blazer on her.
“Let’s meet with Betty Beckett.” Betty was distressed when she learned that she trended online again.
“Mom! What do I do?” Fuming, she called up Sophia Kirkman to complain about it. “I’m trending online for once, only to have that country bumpkin haunt me! She’s deliberately making trouble!
Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 104-“Are you dumb? Do you not know the reason you’re trending? How could you be proud of that?” Sophia berated Betty, Betty rubbed her forehead. She wasn’t dumb–just momentarily distracted when Alice White trended along with her.
“S–So, what do I do? The scandal is bad for me. Now that everyone knows Alice White saved the girl, I can’t fight back against public opinion. Am I really going to be crushed by that country bumpkin?” “I’ve talked to your dad on your behalf. He says that you should never clarify or apologize in any way. Just keep quiet about it!” Sophia said in a low voice.
She continued, “Jasper will settle this for you anyway. He won’t allow any threat to the Beckett Group. Just keep a low profile and ride this out. Don’t do anything st* pid in public. Got it?” Betty felt better after being comforted by Sophia. She hung up and continued shopping at the luxury store she owned with the two girlfriends she met at the bar last time.
At the same time, a Rolls–Royce rolled to a stop in front of the luxury store, EV Concepts. Alyssa emerged from the car, dressed in a luxurious tailored blue suit. With Sean behind her, she marched right into the store.
Her presence immediately attracted the attention of the staff. They marveled at her beauty and sass.
“How are you, miss? Is there anything I can do for you?” A female employee approached Alyssa with excitement. She was blinded by Alyssa’s beauty to notice Sean’s handsomeness.
“I want to meet your boss, Betty Beckett. I do not need anyone else to attend to me.” Alyssa went straight to the point.
“Well…” “I know she’s upstairs. She’ll regret making me wait.” “M–May I have your name?” Alyssa was as dazzling as ever, even when she smirked. “Just tell her it’s Ms.
White.” The employee dashed upstairs to notify Betty. Betty was taken aback when she heard that a beauty named Ms. White had arrived and requested a meeting.
She felt the urge to throw things around to release her anger, but she remembered that the items in the store were expensive Just when she was at a loss, one of her girlfriends spoke up with indignation, “Betty, I’m pretty +15 BONUS “Right! Now that she has shown up, you cannot let this slip! This is the perfect chance to get back at her!” “We’ll get your reputation back and teach her a lesson! Come on! Let’s meet her!” After they fanned the fire, Betty was increasingly furious and rushed downstairs with her two girlfriends.
“Alice White, you shameless divorcee! The audacity to ask to see me!” Meanwhile, Alice sat drinking tea with her legs crossed. Her slender legs were attractive, even when they were hidden underneath her ironed pants. She sipped the tea leisurely as though she was at home.
“Ms. Betty, is this how you do business? Aren’t you afraid of hurting your reputation by mistreating your customer?” “You’re no guest–just a gold digger who threw herself at Silas to get a share of our family inheritance!” Betty poked her expensive acrylic nails in Alice’s face. 2 The store was empty except for the employees, who exchanged looks at Betty’s outburst. They found it hard to believe Betty’s accusation because Alice appeared wealthy and well–groomed.
“Fine. I’ll get to the point. I’m not here to shop. The stuff in this store is cheap and not to my taste.” Alice flashed a calm smile. She didn’t bother to feel enraged at Betty, who was shallow and dumb.
Betty had wanted to fire back but quietened when she saw the costly Ragnarok brooch on Alice’s chest.
“The goal of my visit is simple.” Alice placed the cup on the table without so much as giving Betty a look. “Please host a press conference and publicly apologize to my hotel employee, who was humiliated and hospitalized all because of you.
Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 105-You heard her? This bitch wanted me to apologize to that hotel employee…” Betty cackled. “Did you hit your head or something?” When Betty threw her head back laughing, her two plastic girlfriends were laughing hysterically as well.
“Why couldn’t Betty complain as a hotel guest? Her necklace was broken. And she received crappy service.” “That’s right! How dare you ask for an apology? Do you own the hotel? There’s no end to this.” Sean squinted at the ladies. He believed the two dumb women would frantically take back their words when they found out that Alyssa owned all the KS Grand Hotel branches in the country.
“Aren’t you worried that this incident might ruin the image of Beckett Group that Jasper has carefully maintained? You might bring shame to the company.” Alyssa carelessly stared at Betty.
“Hmph! Don’t you dare threaten me. I’m not the president of the company. Why would I care?” Unbothered, Betty rolled her eyes.
Betty continued, “It’s Jasper’s job as the president to take on the risks and handle any scandals. What else would he do in that role? He should have something to show after Dad made him the president!” The store employees were dumbfounded by Betty’s remark. Alyssa couldn’t help but chuckle. The Beckett family appeared loving, but they secretly took advantage of each other and hatched their plans. 1 Betty had always looked down on Jasper. To Sophia and Betty, Jasper was nothing but a tool to clean up their mess. They might yield to him on the surface, but they secretly viewed him in disdain.
Alyssa had seen through the tricks of the Beckett family when she first married Jasper. She wouldn’t have tolerated living with the Becketts that was all show had she not hopelessly fallen in love with Jasper.
“Ms. Betty, you should at least think of your image, if not the company’s.” “Stop threatening me! Alice White, I’m not afraid of you, even if you have Mr.
Jonah’s backing. Us Becketts are not pushovers!” Betty put her hand on her waist like a bitch. “Where’s security? Kick this country bumpkin out! She has lowered the class of our store!” Two security guards approached Alyssa and wanted to drag her away.

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 106-“Why not? I’m not sitting back and waiting to be attacked by an animal.” Alyssa dusted her hands and glared at Betty.
“D–Did you just call me an animal?” Betty’s face reddened in anger.
At that moment, the door opened. Alyssa looked across and felt a chilly air swept by her.
Next, she watched in shock as Jasper showed up in front of them. The ex– couple looked stunned when they locked eyes.
Alyssa looked away coldly as though he was a stranger. He pursed his lips.
There was a heavy look in his eyes as he wrestled the frustration deep inside.
“Jasper!” Betty seemed to have found her savior. Crying and wailing, she complained to him, ” Alice White has gone mad! She slapped me in the face!
You’ll have to see to this!” “Yeah, it was me. Her cheeks are probably still burning.” With a smirk, Alyssa proudly admitted to slapping Betty.
“Why are you here?” He gave her an unfeeling look.
“What do you think?” In the past, Alice always stared at him with light in her eyes. She appeared to have no feelings for him now. He could not find the passion and eagerness in her eyes anymore.
Feeling tight in the chest, he grappled with mixed emotions.
“Jasper, Alice wanted me to publicly apologize to her hotel employee in a press conference! When I refused to, she threatened me with the backing of the Taylor family! She even hit me!” Betty put on her best performance when she realized that Jasper did not care about her. “Jasper, the employees were around! They can bear witness! Oh, poor me…” “Alice, you’ve shared the video online for the netizens to attack the Beckett Group. Isn’t that enough? How could you demand a press conference?” He frowned and chided her, “Isn’t that being greedy?” Sean wanted to argue with Jasper, only to be held back by Alyssa. She stood in front of Sean. The action fanned the flames of jealousy in Jasper. He seemed to have found a chance to release his frustration since their divorce.
“I’m not greedy. I’m just… calling for justice.” Her dark eyes gleamed dangerously.
“Whatever you want to call it, I’m not letting you win +15 BONUS If so, there’s nothing more to discuss Goodbye.” She raised a brow and shoved a hand into her packet. Then, she marched out boldly.
“W–Wait Betty hadn’t forgotten about the photos in Alyssa’s possession.
Sweating, she said, ” Jasper, she Photoshopped nude photos of me to tarnish my reputation and force me to apologize! You can’t just let her leave.” Jasper immediately stopped Alyssa in her tracks.
Gave me the phone.” “Who do you think you are? Alyssa chuckled while burning in rage. Without further ado, he snatched the phone from her hand.
Betty watched from the sidelines with glee. Sophia was right–Jasper was a great help who’d always clean up her mess.
Jasper Beckett! Give it back to me!” Panting, Alyssa reached out to swipe the phone from him like a monkey. She sprained her ankle in her high heels and stumbled right into his firm chest.
When they collided he reflexively wrapped an arm around her tiny waist.
She was ashamed and angered. Her face was as red as a cherry.
Coincidentally, she felt the shape of his nipple through the fabric of his soft, ironed shirt and rubbed against it.
“Damn it. It’s perfect,” she thought.
Squinting, he was focused on the phone. With an arm around Alyssa’s waist, he grabbed her phone tightly with his free hand He remembered her passcode as 0923 if she hadn’t changed it.
He quickly typed in the numbers and successfully unlocked the phone.
Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 107-“You jerk! Give it back!” Alyssa blushed as she leaned softly against Jasper. To keep her balance, she pressed her left hand on his broad shoulder. She moved around endlessly Jasper wouldn’t go easy on her either and retaliated with the hand on her waist.
She trembled when she sensed his tightening grip on her waist that screamed possessiveness. She felt the heat from his palm through the thin fabric.
Still, Jasper remained focused on the phone. His face betrayed nothing, not even lust.
The onlookers were shocked when Alyssa called Jasper a jerk. They were even more astonished when Jasper seemed unbothered by the insult.
At the same time, Sean was sweating profusely but couldn’t find a way to drag Alyssa back. Betty gaped at the intimacy between the two, especially knowing they weren’t close during their marriage. Meanwhile, the two girlfriends almost bit their manicured nails off from burning jealousy.
Frowning, Jasper swiftly deleted all the vulgar photos of Betty on Alyssa’s phone.
“Alice, since when have you stooped this low? It hasn’t been that long since you left our family.” Then, he shoved the phone back into her pants pocket and let go of her.
“Hah! Speaking of which, you’re the true master of playing dirty.” She quickly distanced himself from him and dusted her outfit with a look of disgust.
“What’s wrong with getting what I want if I’m capable of doing so? Unlike you, I do not play rough when things don’t go my way. Snatching things like a monkey–how tacky!” The employees giggled while picturing Jasper as the most handsome monkey that had ever existed.
His expression fell. Pursing his lips, he was angry not only because she called him a monkey in front of others. More than that, he was furious at the disdain in her eyes when she glanced at him. She must have been very resentful of him to give him that look.
However, from the moment they discussed divorce, she was the one who created trouble every single time. He believed he had been very generous and patient in bearing her antics. How could she go this far to insult him?
As grudges piled on, he took a huge step forward and glowered at her. He stared into her eyes.
“Do you think you can act as you wish just because you’re my ex–wife? Are you disrespecting me over and over because we were once together? How could you think you have the right to act out +15 BONUS He lowered his voice to keep it between him and Alyssa. By doing so, he had infuriated her. Not once did she regret falling in love and marrying him. However, he had never taken a proper look at her in the last three years. It was a massive blow to her ego.
Anyway, everything was in the past. Laughing at the absurd situation, she hid the heartache in her eyes. “Liana Gardner cares about you. That’s why she has never acted out. I insulted you because you mean nothing to me.” His eyes twitched upon hearing the provocative remark. Next, Alyssa wrapped her slender fingers around his luxurious striped tie in blue and pulled him toward her. “Do you think I should be grateful for that marriage? Tell you what–I’ve never felt an ounce of gratitude.” Their angry eyes clashed. Their bodies were dangerously close.
His chest tightened, just like her grip on his tie.
“To sum up the last three years, I’ve been living in hell on earth. Did you really believe you did me a fávor by marrying me? That I’d happily show off and take advantage of my status as your ex-
Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 108-“No, you are too arrogant. If I could, I would erase you from my life once and for all. I’d rather have never loved you.” Jasper gave her a look of shock. He felt a tremor through his body. His throat was dry. She attacked him with progressively harsher remarks When he collected himself, she had let go of his hand and wandered past him.
Sean hurried after her and didn’t forget to glare at Jasper on his way out. He didn’t overhear the conversation. between Alyssa and Jasper, but he believed that Jasper wouldn’t have said anything nice.
“Jasper, have you deleted those photos? What a shameless bumpkin she is, threatening me with the photos. Thanks for protecting the reputation of our family!” Betty took Jasper’s arm in excitement to show off their sibling relationship.
Much to her dismay, Jasper appeared sullen because he was deeply affected by the words of his ex–wife. His piercing gaze swept past her face.
She cowered and quickly withdrew her hand.
“Were the photos Photoshopped?” “Huh…” She was caught off guard.
“If the photos are real, Alice White technically did not slander you.” His eyes were wintry.
.
Betty struggled to figure out whether her brother was siding with her. It seemed that Alice still had a place in his heart.
“I’m not blind. I witnessed everything that happened on that day.” He looked away and added, “The issue has escalated beyond our control. You shall host a press conference tomorrow night and issue an apology to that hotel employee.” “What?” Betty’s face contorted in rage and shock. “But why? The customer is always the king! Not only did they offer crappy service, but they also broke my necklace! It was within my right to scold them. Why would I apologize to her?” All of a sudden, the screen on the second floor of EV Concepts lit up with a video that attracted all attention.
It was a scene in the elevator of KS Grand Hotel, where two skimpily–dressed women decked in luxury items posed S**ily in front of the reflective doors. The two ladies were Betty’s girlfriends.
“Gosh, this makes me sick. Look at Betty Beckett–she’s so excited after buying that shitty necklace, What a show–off!” +15 BONUS *She doesn’t know that we only hang out with her because she showers us with money.
“Isn’t she just a ‘Bitter Betty‘? Pfft…” “Hmph! It feels good to see her searching high and low for that necklace. I bet she’d never guess that we broke her necklace and hid it in our room. Hah! Let her kick up a fuss. She’ll only humiliate herself.“/ When the video ended, the two girlfriends were trembling in fear. Eyes flaming, Betty seethed and approached the two.
“N–No! It’s not what it seems, Betty!” The women frantically backed up. “Hear us out! We’ve been framed!” “You shameless whores… How dare you break my stuff after spending my money… I’ll tear you into pieces!” With a scream, Betty flung herself at the two women without caring for her image.
Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 109-Throughout the journey back home, Alyssa did not utter a word. She looked spent, just like a broken robot.
Jasper’s unforgiving words felt like someone had poured a bucket of cold water over her. She was shaking in rage from head to toe. Why had she never noticed that shameless and vile side of him?
Love might not guarantee happiness, but it would certainly turn you blind.
“Ms. Alyssa, I have played the video per your instruction. Look, Betty is fighting her two friends!” Sean showed her the video on a phone screen.
She glanced at the screen and saw the three women clawing at each other in a horrible catfight.
“Tsk tsk. Cat fights are the worst. Ms. Betty is doing pretty well. She’s still holding up even when she’s fighting the two of them. It’s a pity she didn’t train for wrestling.” Sean chuckled with glee.
“Hmph. They’re slapping each other and pulling each other’s hair. Nothing interesting about those amateur moves.” Despite that, Alyssa couldn’t take her eyes off the screen. She secretly enjoyed watching it. The fight among the three women was oddly stress–relieving.
“Did Jasper delete all the photos for real?” Sean still hadn’t gotten over how Jasper had taken advantage of Alyssa by holding her waist.
However, he reminded himself that Jasper and Alyssa must have engaged in more intimate acts during their marriage of three years. He had no right to feel angry about their physical contact.
“He has definitely deleted them. He might dislike Betty, but he needed to protect the reputation of the Beckett Group. To put it in a nice way, he’s focused on the big picture. But you could also say he’s heartless to his family.” Sighing, she unlocked her phone. She was surprised that Jasper had remembered her passcode. Perhaps, he accidentally glanced when she was unlocking her phone one day and memorized the passcode until now.
Still, that meant nothing. Jasper, who had never loved her truly, would never figure out the meaning behind the passcode.
It was the date when Jasper saved her from the mountains thirteen years ago.
That was also their first encounter. She lamented, thinking that her love and affection probably meant nothing to him.
“What do we do next? Ms. Betty will not listen to us now that we lost our bargaining chip to Jasper.
Sean sighed sullenly.
Suddenly, Alysan gasped as her eyes widened. She found Jasper’s number in her contact list.
“A fucking roque! He’s a sly and unstoppable rascal!” She silently cursed him.
At might, Jasper returned to the Seaview Manor from the Beckett Group office.
It had been drizzling for a while. He stared at the condensation on the car window, which reminded him of Alice’s eyes However, her eyes were filled with endless resentment, which added to his glum mood.
He lifted his chin. The neon lights from the outside illuminated his jaw and added a touch of S**y charm. He tugged on the perfect Windsor knot on his tie.
The smoothness of the fabric reminded hum of Alice’s tiny waist.
He swallowed hard as he breathed shallowly. He desperately wanted to chase the memory of her eyes out of his mind but to no avail.
Alice White was getting bolder by the day. Back then, she was too shy to even hold his hand during their marriage. However, after their divorce, she brazenly challenged him in public. What did she take him for?
“Mr. Jasper Xavier timidly called out to him with hesitation.
“Go on.” Jasper sounded unfriendly because he was frustrated by his thoughts of Alice.
“Um… Ms. Betty’s scandal is the talk of the town. The popular sentiment is that rich kids are assholes who think they can walk over other people. Do you think we should…‘ “Leave it.” “I fear that Madam Sophia will complain to Mr. Javier if we do nothing. He might give you trouble.
“Xavier was concerned.
Jasper’s eyes darkened as a smirk appeared on his lips. “What are you afraid of when I have nothing to fear?” Then, they heard a text notification on Xavier’s phone.
“Mr. Jasper, I received the surveillance footage you requested for.” Jasper looked up and took the phone from Xavier. He saw the scene where Alice was confronting Betty. Betty was acting brashly and making threats. He watched as Alice fought back against Betty, who had attempted to hit her.
Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 110-Jasper lifted a brow as his expression darkened. Before this, he might have been a little moody, but he was truly angered at that moment.
Jasper was called to Javier’s study after he changed into a fresh outfit.
“Daddy! You have to help me out! Poor me…” Betty hugged her dad and cried her heart out. Her tear -stained face was full of injuries from her catfight with her two friends in the afternoon. Even her lips were chapped. She looked pitiable.
Seated on the couch, Javier hurriedly consoled his daughter. She looked like a mess, unlike her usual well–presented self. “Jasper’s home. I’ll ask him about it.” “The scandal is getting out of hand. I got a few calls asking about Betty. I honestly didn’t know what to say.” Sophia teared up upon mentioning her beloved daughter. “People are cursing Betty out online. How can she ever show up in public? How will the other elites in Solana City think of us?” “Sophie, don’t worry. I will not let them bully my daughter.” Frowning, Javier had a burning gaze in his eyes.
The door opened. Jasper wandered into the study with a flat expression.
“Jasper, why didn’t you take care of the video scandal? Aren’t you too laid–back as the president? Javier immediately stopped his son and berated him.
“The Beckett Group has its PR and Legal Departments led by their respective directors.” Jasper was unruffled. He sounded calm. “I am a president, not a nanny. I will take over certain issues but not meddle in things that aren’t under my purview.” “And do you think this scandal isn’t under your purview? Betty is your sister! Do you plan to watch as people harass her and slander her?” Sophia pressed against her chest with tears, as though she’d faint at any moment.
“Sophie, you’re weak. You shouldn’t get emotional,” Javier quickly held her shoulders with a tender look. Two decades had passed, but Jasper still felt uneasy and suffocated whenever he saw the display of affection between Javier and Sophia.
Javier had not once mentioned Jasper’s mother in the last two decades. He did not even pay a visit to her grave. The poor woman, who loved him with every fiber of her being, was treated as though she had never existed in Javier’s life.
The lack of acknowledgment hurt more than any feeling of resentment and hatred “I’m fine, Javier.” Sophia coughed softly in Javier’s arms. “I lost control of my temper and acted out I shouldn’t have troubled Jasper with the issue After all, he must be very occupied as the group president.” She added, “I’m just worried that he might hold a grudge against me, for I am not his biological mother. If that’s why he is unwilling to help us out, you shouldn’t blame him. I totally understand.” Jasper was sick of Sophia’s drama over the past twenty years. He wondered why Javier hadn’t gotten tired of her.
“Sophie, do not overthink. Whatever that rascal thinks, you will always be my wife, which makes you his mother!” Sophia had successfully fanned the fire. The enraged Javier pointed a finger in Jasper’s unemotional face. “Figure out a solution right away! I need Betty to be removed from the trending topics, along with her videos! You’ll be liable if you fail to do so!” “I have come up with a solution, which I told Betty about.” Jasper looked at his feet.
“Daddy, that was not a solution at all! He’s going to send me to hell!” Betty jumped when she heard her name mentioned.
Stretching her neck, she grumbled, “He wanted me to issue a public apology to that hotel employee! Who is she to demand an apology from me? Why should I do that?” She wailed, “By the way, Alice White dropped by my store to create trouble. She slapped me in front of everyone! How am I supposed to ever show up in public?” Sophia and Javier were stunned. “What? Alice slapped you?” “Look at the slap marks on my face! It’s real!” Betty pointed at her swollen face.
“That’s outrageous! Jasper, did you marry a devil?” Sophia was furious to see her daughter bullied. A scowl crept onto her gentle face. “How could she hit our Betty! I will sue her! I will not let her off the hook.” “It was Betty who wanted to hit Alice first. Alice was defending herself.” Jasper sounded unmoved and cold “So, did you just admit that Alice has hit Betty?” Jasper went silent, which proved that Betty was telling the truth.
“Call Alice right now! I want her to apologize to Betty. You haven’t gone through the divorce proceedings with her, right? You must take time off tomorrow to file the divorce at the court! I do not want you to be associated with her in any way” Javier bellowed.

Jasper furrowed his brows. The divorce had initially been scheduled, but he felt uneasy after hearing Javier’s insulting remarks. Without thinking, he blurted out, “I will not.”
