Ch. 121..130

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 121-Landon was frightened by the callous look in Jasper’s eyes.

Jasper had never been more incensed–not even when Linna left him and traveled abroad.

Landon was merely joking, which was characteristic of him–wealthy but indiscreet, even more so in front of his good friends.

He never thought that he’d cross a line by making a joke. It confirmed that the wife was taboo.

The bartender paled at the sight. Not many in Solana City had the guts to grab Landon Harper by his collar.

“Jasper, have you … fallen for Alice?” Landon had sobered up, and he was drenched in cold sweat.

“Haven’t you noticed that you’ve been acting funny since the divorce?” Landon cast a deep look at him. “I’m your only friend from childhood. Aren’t you going to tell me the truth?” “I don’t love her,” Jasper growled.

“Fine, got it. I’ll take your word for it.

“Landon Harper!” Landon ignored Jasper’s wrath and added, “Jasper, I’ll repeat myself. If you have fallen for Alice and wish to get back with her, you have my full support.” He continued, “If you are only acting out because you couldn’t stand seeing your ex–wife with another man, I hope you’ll allow me to take my shot. That’s because I know what my heart wantsI love Alice and want to pursue her.” Feeling as though he was shot in the chest, Jasper let go of Landon’s collar and stumbled backward. Landon stood up straight and breathed deeply to calm himself down as he pulled the blue diamond necklace from his pocket.

“She…” Jasper was stunned.

“She refused my gift.” Smiling bitterly, Landon explained, “Alice isn’t what you think she is. She’s not a materialistic woman. She returned the necklace to me after we left.” He lamented, “Gosh, Mr. Jasper, how have you been treating Alice in the past?

She saw you as her archenemy and grabbed at any opportunity to irk you. It’s not an overstatement to describe her mortal enemy.” you as Jasper pursed his lips. Thinking back on those three years, he had turned a blind eye to her feelings countless times. The memories of the badly damaged handmade suit and the wardrobe.

After work, Alysaa left the hotel but didn’t head home. She managed to shake off Sean and went to a church on the west side of Solana City alone The golden dome of the church glimmered under the lights, looking opulent and grand Under a huge cross, Jonah, the pastor, dressed in a black robe and held a Bible in his hands. He lowered his head and focused on his sermon.

Alyssa sat in the last row and listened keenly. Jonah had a melodious voice that would wash away the impurities of a soul.

After the sermon, the members of the church left Jonah closed the Bible and approached his little sister with a gentle smile on his good–looking face.

“Why didn’t you tell me you’re here?” He tousled her hair.

“Un, I didn’t want to interrupt you in case you were busy” Smiling ear to ear, she replied sweetly “Do you have something on your mind?” He took a seat beside her and questioned.

“Can you tell?” She let out a long sigh with a downcast expression “Jonah, I did something wrong today I used Landon Harper to get back at Jasper. I knew it was not the right thing to do, but I couldn’t hold back. When I saw Jasper with Liana and how he fought Landon for a necklace, I felt upset.” She confessed, “I wanted to hurt him, even though it was meaningless because we were divorced I wanted him to have something to remember me by, even if it was from a place of spite.” Jonah sighed wistfully and hugged her trembling shoulders “Lyse, you still have feelings for him, don’t you?” “I admit that I haven’t gotten over him. After all, I’ve loved him for a very long time. I devoted my youth to him. He was part of all my unforgettable memories.

Resting her head on Jonah’s broad shoulder, she got misty–eyed “Jonah, I’m so afraid that I’d lose the ability to love another after how he’d hurt me I might never love a man the way I loved him “To live is to love. Lyse, as long as you’re still breathing, you will never lose the ability to love.” He lowered his gaze and patted her reassuringly “Do not fret. Your brothers will be here to protect you no matter what happens. You just be your true self and pursue the love of your life Live a life without regrets”

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 122-“I tried pursuing my true love, only to be badly scarred.” Alyssa tasted bitterness on her lips. She wore a crushed expression. “I met the right person at the wrong time. I’d never love again.” Jonah furrowed his brows, concerned for his sister, who had given up on hope at her tender age. He tried a different approach and chuckled good–naturedly.

“Lyse, chin up! You must have fallen hard for Jasper because you saw something in him. You didn’t waste your youth on him. What can we say other than the two of you aren’t destined for each other.” “I thought I had good taste in men. I thought my lover was the perfect man.

Looking back, I must have been blind…” Alyssa’s phone vibrated. It was a call from Sean.

“Sean, what’s wrong?” She picked up the call.

“Ms. Alyssa! I finally got hold of you. The signal on your side is so crappy!” Sean gulped in excitement and went on, “Check Twitter’s livestream feed now! Betty Beckett is live–streaming a press conference. She’s offering a public apology to our hotel employee.” “What?” Her eyes widened, and she shot up with a shocked expression. The gloom and doom from before was gone.

“It was a sudden press conference. We think the Beckett Group plans to get it over with to minimize the fallout. There are five million viewers on the live stream, and the number keeps climbing!

“The company should have either gone all out on that public apology or kept its silence to spare the humiliation. Look at that cheap setup and the embarrassing scale! It’s very unlike Beckett Group and nothing like the KS Group!” Alyssa’s eyes twinkled as she came to a realization. Jasper had undergone a sudden change in attitude. Betty wouldn’t have caved in, given how combative she had behaved yesterday. Something must have happened between then and now, which forced Betty into the apology.

She figured Javier wouldn’t have hung his beloved daughter out to dry, especially with Sophia around. Who would have forced an apology from Betty?

Was it Jasper?

Alyssa shook her head vehemently to shake off the thought. However, no one else in the Beckett Group had the power to force Betty into submission other than Jasper.

But why would he do so?

Taking a deep breath, she quickly hung up and watched the live stream. The flurry of activity in At that moment, Betty stood on stage facing the reporters in a black dress. A mix of anger, fear, and distress flashed across her face.

“Haha! Karma’s a bitch! What’s in their mind, thinking they can get away with this?” “Did Betty Beckett put on makeup? She must be st* pid to put on makeup at this press conference.

Put some thought into it if you want our pity.” “Tsk tsk, is she that dumb but pretty chick they talk about?” “She’s really dumb. I can’t agree with the ‘pretty‘ part, though.” Alyssa read the negative comments as a devious grin crept onto her lips.

“After my belonging went missing, I impulsively went off on an innocent hotel employee. This triggered an epileptic seizure in said employee and nearly resulted in a catastrophe.

“Once again, I express deep remorse for my actions and sincerely apologize to the employee for my actions.” After the speech, Betty put on a pitiful face and shed some crocodile tears with much difficulty.

She continued, “But I am an ordinary individual just like you. I have my troubles, and there are times I struggle to keep my emotions under check. I now suffer from insomnia after two days of online abuse. I’m on the brink of a breakdown.

“I admit that I was in the wrong, but it is my wish that netizens approach this matter sensibly.

Please do not drag my family through the mud. I beg of you.” The new comments in the chat moved along fast.

“Cry me a river! I can’t deal with her bitchy attitude after that apology!” “She’s acting like the victim when the real victim hasn’t uttered a word about it.” “She wouldn’t have apologized had we not called her out. She might even cover it up!” “I don’t feel sorry for her. Those are crocodile tears.” Alyssa narrowed her eyes. Her smile deepened. This must have been the worst day in Betty’s life after 25 years of growing up sheltered and well–loved.

She figured that Betty must have felt embittered, and she’d love to see that. It’d be no fun if Betty gave up without putting up a fight.

Suddenly, an incoming call interrupted the entertaining live stream.

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 123-Alyssa hurriedly picked up the call and cooed, “Silas!” “Lyse, it’s so damn hard to get hold of you. Were you on a call just now?” Silas sounded anxious.

“Is something wrong?” She frowned.

L “Did Axel get in touch with you today?” “No. Gosh, just tell me!” Silas sighed worriedly. “We went drinking last night and got drunk. That dude… He made an outrageous claim again!” Alyssa’s heart sank upon learning that. Axel had a quirk–most people would never act on their drunk promises, but not Axel. He’d remember everything from the night before, even if he was wasted, and act on it the next day. That was one of his skills as a top spy.

“What did he say?” She had a bad feeling about it, which made her nervous.

“He said he’d kill Jas!” Her mind went blank. Had Jonah not grabbed her on time, she might have lost her balance.

“Axel flew a plane across 10,000 miles to avenge you. Last night, he announced that he’d teach Jas a lesson. He swore to at least cut off Jas‘ manhood, if not kill him outright! He said that was the only way to get revenge.” “I thought he’d listen to you and spare Jasper, but he brought up his plan again last night. I couldn’t reach him at all today! Is he making a move?” Her heart thundered in her chest. She couldn’t spare a minute to explain everything to Jonah and sprinted out of the church.

Betty was perceived to have offered an insincere apology at the press conference, so the netizens berated her in the chat.

Before she went onstage, Sophia had personally drafted a script and ordered her to memorize it.

Sophia also reminded her not to put on any makeup Too bad Betty had her own ideas. Firstly, she was stubborn and refused to give in. Secondly, she thought the press conference was a great chance to trend online as the prettiest heiress with her looks. Her plan backfired, and she lost everything in the end.

“I find the hotels under KS Group likable. Not only do they provide good service, but they also have “I don’t feel good about the Beckett Group at all! I will never book a room at their hotels when I travel.” “Yeah, boycotting them is the way to go! Bankrupt them tomorrow!” After Betty wrapped up her public apology, she was surrounded by reporters from below the stage. They shoved the microphones into her face and attacked her with increasingly trickier questions.

Betty buckled under the pressure, for she had never been thrown into a situation like that. She scuttled away from the stage under the protection of two bodyguards.

When she wasn’t paying attention, she tripped on the stairs, spraining her ankle while falling flat on the ground. It was a humiliating scene that was captured by the flashing cameras.

The two bulky bodyguards hurriedly lifted the limp Betty from the ground and dragged her away effortlessly.

Five minutes later, a new hashtag trended-#BettyBeckett Falls. She was trending online, just as she wished.

Meanwhile, Jasper and Landon held on to each other when they stumbled out of ACE. They went in as enemies but emerged as friends. Drinking indeed brought people closer.

They drank like fish that night. Landon was a heavy drinker and only emerged tipsy from the drinking session.

On the other hand, Jasper had downed a little too much whiskey in his bad mood. He squinted his eyes and tugged on the knot on his tie, looking drowsy and drunk.

Worried that Jasper might stumble down the stairs, Landon reached out to hold him. “Hey, Jasper, you didn’t last long, did you? That was fast. Are you high?” “You can’t tell a man in his face that he… doesn’t last long.” Jasper pinched his forehead and felt light–headed. “Why am I having a headache after drinking at your bar… Did you sell me fake alcohol?” “F*** you! You are really good at shifting the blame, dude. Is that how you lost Alice?” Landon swallowed hard when he saw Jasper’s dazy eyes and flushed neck. He would have done something unholy to Jasper right there if he were not straight.

Jasper exhaled and shoved Landon away. “I’m leaving.” “Hey, I’ll send you home.”

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 124-m not Don’t you look down on me,” Jasper said.

“I’m worried you’ll be taken advantage of by fucking randos!” Landon cursed in a moment of anger.

“You think everyone’s an animal like you?” Squinting, Jasper amirked and got into his car.

Jasper’s Maybach cruised down an empty street.

“Mi Jasper, the press conference has ended. There are more negative comments about Ms. Betty than before, and it’s starting to affect our company’s reputation,” Xavier reported with concern. while driving. “The fallout is worse than we expected…” “Our company?” There was a gleam in Jasper’s eyes. “It’s only ‘our company‘ when they need me to take cate of the trouble that crops up.” He had never seen the Becketts as his family. Apart from his grandpa, no one else in the family saw him as one of theirs, including his father, Javier.

T If so, he’d sacrifice Betty and watch his family break down that day. He did not consider Betty’s misfortune a heavy punishment, considering how she had taken advantage of him and hit his wife.

His wife He was taken aback by the unfiltered thought in his mind. That sly fox had put on a show with Landon today. Was that an attempt to humiliate him or to hurt him emotionally?

Tugging on his tie in frustration, he felt his anger rising.

“Xavier, pull over in front.” “Huh? Okay.” Xavier quickly pulled over by a public park.

“Mr. Jasper, are you unwell? Do you need a puke bag?” Xavier mistakenly thought that Jasper wanted to puke.

“You look like you’ll be a good puke bag.” Jasper glared at Xavier.

Speechless, Xavier felt unfairly treated. He looked pitiful.

“Wait here. I’ll take a stroll.” Jasper left the car and disappeared into the park.

Night breezes swept past the wide and empty streets. He casually walked through the park along He might have puked for real if he had stayed in the car for a while more.

Suddenly, he stopped dead in his tracks and frowned. “Who is that? Show yourself.” “You’re a dog with those sharp ears.” A crisp and mocking laugh pierced through the air. Jasper slowly turned around and noticed a tall and hostile man not far away from him.

Axel Whitaker was dressed in black from head to toe. He wore a black face mask. The wind ruffled his short dark hair. He was like the prince of darkness.

“Who are you? Why are you following me around? Jasper sounded calm and impassionate. His biceps were tense.

“Isn’t it clear that I want trouble?” Axel flashed an evil grin under the mask.

“Why?” “You hurt someone important to me. She’s suffering because of you.” Axel tilted his head and cracked his fingers. “It’s pretty hard to cheer her up. I guess she’ll only feel better if I make you suffer more than she does.” Jasper squinted hard to make out the man’s features. Somehow, he found the man’s appearance and voice familiar. But he couldn’t think of a name.

Axel inched closer to Jasper in a terrifying way.

“And who might that be? How did I hurt her?” Jasper forced himself to focus but remained calm.

“Hah, I was thinking of going easy on you if you had a bit of self–awareness. I’m too merciful, it seems. A heartless bastard like you would never feel remorse.

You wouldn’t know what’s karma if I don’t teach you a lesson.”

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 125-Almost immediately, Jasper noticed the figure lurching at him at an incredible speed.

Axel threw out solid and swift punches with the determination to cripple the latter. Jasper’s eyes deepened as he dodged two of Axel’s moves.

“Ho, you’re something,” Axel squinted his eyes and said mockingly. Eyes burning in anger, Jasper took a few breaths to compose himself.

It had been years since he retired from active military duty. Although he kept up with his boxing training and workout sessions, it had been a while since he fought someone. He had to rely on his solid foundation and muscle memory to fight off the attacker.

After a few rounds, Jasper picked up on the familiarity in the opponent’s moves.

The moves reminded him of the close–quarters combat lessons from the military academy he had attended.

“Who’s this mysterious man?” wondered Jasper.

“Ouch-” Jasper was kicked hard in the abdomen and yelped in pain in that moment of distraction. Despite stumbling backward, he quickly steadied himself and stood tall.

What a tough nut!

“Mr. Jasper!” Xavier exclaimed and rushed up to hold Jasper while panting. “Are you okay?” “I’m fine.” Jasper endured the pain and coughed softly.

“You motherfucker! How dare you attack Mr. Jasper? I’ll kill you!” Xavier was blinded by rage. He barreled toward Axel without thinking.

“Xavier, come back!” It was too late for Jasper to stop his secretary. Xavier would be digging his own grave with his weak combat skills.

“You’ve overestimated yourself.” Axel scoffed.

Xavier had been punched to the ground. He blacked out before he could lay a finger on Axel. Shocked, Jasper glowered at the attacker. “I must have known you! Who exactly are you?” Axel lifted a brow with a smirk. Of course they were familiar with each other.

They attended the same military academy and were the top students of their time. However, they didn’t interact much outside the training.

“I thought you were curious about the important woman I mentioned. I don’t mind telling you.” Axel stepped over Xavier and inched closer to Jasper with a malignant and mysterious smile.” She’s your ex–wife.” Jasper’s eyes wavered as he curled his trembling fists.

Almost immediately, Jasper noticed the figure lurching at him at an incredible speed.

Axel threw out solid and swift punches with the determination to cripple the latter. Jasper’s eyes deepened as he dodged two of Axel’s moves.

+15 BONUS “You’re asking for it!” Jasper’s muscles were flexing under the gray, tailored suit.

The next second, he dashed toward Axel and started sparring with him vigorously.

Eyes darkening in alarm, Axel realized that Jasper’s skills weren’t rusty after many years of retirement. He was even more amazed at Jasper’s agile moves in a restrictive suit.

At that moment, Jasper looked exactly like a cool villain from a gangster movie!

After ten rounds of fighting, Jasper was losing his ground. As he was still intoxicated, it was a miracle that he hung on.

Finally, he lay on the ground limply and felt an explosive pain in his back after Axel defeated him.

“Son of a bitch. Meet your fate.” Just as Axel wanted to give Jasper another kick to express his frustration, he heard a man’s voice.

“How dare you beat up my friend in Solana City, my territory? You goddamn madcap!” Landon rushed up to shield Jasper with furious eyes and knitted brows.

“Oh, look, here’s one more. How troublesome.” Axel narrowed his eyes and prepared to launch a move when he froze. In front of him was the dark abyss of the gun barrel.

Landon had gotten a gun out of nowhere and pointed it at Axel’s head. “Stay away from me, or I’ll blast your brains out!” In reality, Landon was panicking on the inside. He had arrived at the scene when Jasper and Axel were combating and concluded that he needed a weapon to take on Axel.

“Landy, don’t!” Each breath that Jasper took sent a paralyzing shot of pain to his stomach.

“Oh, crap! Bro, are you okay? He almost killed you. How could you ask me to spare him?” Landon seethed at Axel. “Better get lost now if you want to live. Otherwise, I’m going to beat you into a pulp. It’s a piece of cake for the Harper Family to wipe you off Solana City without anyone knowing!” However, Axel was unbothered by the threat and coldly stepped forward.

“Jasper, run now!” Landon growled and pulled the trigger with a thumping heart.

“Landon, stop!” The gun fired with a loud pop.

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 126-However, the bullet did not hit Axel.

“Ugh. It hurts…” Alyssa, who had shown up from nowhere, hugged Axel tightly.

The bullet had hit her in the left shoulder.

Although Landon had only fired off a wax bullet, it had caused severe damage.

Alyssa was drenched in sweat and trembling. Even so, she would not let go of Axel no matter what happened.

Jasper’s eyes widened in shock. His heart sank, and he felt as though he was falling from a high place.

All the pain in his body was nothing compared to the blow he received when Alyssa shielded the attacker.

She might be his ex–wife, but when she saw her ex–husband attacked, the first thing on her mind was to protect the assailant who’d almost beaten him to death.

“Alice White, how could you do this to me?” he seethed. What she had done was outrageous. She was technically the accomplice to the attacker.

“Lyse!” Axel looked at Alyssa frantically and held her frail shoulder. When he checked his hand, it was stained with her blood.

Taking a sharp breath, he felt an immense hatred and heartache in him.

“Landon Harper, I will kill you-” Stunned, Landon let go of the simulated gun. He didn’t have time to react to Alice’s sudden appearance. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have fired the bullet.

“Axel Alyssa lay limply in Axel’s arms and rested her head on her shoulder. She said through gritted teeth, “If… If you want me to call you my brother… get away from here, right now! I’ll never forgive you otherwise.” “But, Lyse …..” Alyssa glared at him and shoved him away. He felt a shot of pain through his heart. It dawned on. him that he had truly angered Alyssa this time. If he refused to listen to her, she might never see him as her brother again.

He had no choice but to flee the scene and contact Jonah to send Alyssa to the hospital.

Alyssa sighed in relief after Axel left. She ignored the wound on her shoulder and checked on Jasper “Mr. Harper, get us an ambulance. They both need medical attention” +15 BONUS “But you’re hurt too! You need medical attention Landon’s voice broke. He was filled with guilt.

“I know my body well. I’ll be fine.” Fighting against the pain, she reached out to Jasper to check his condition.

“You don’t have to fake it, Alice. Get lost.” Panting while lying on the ground, Jasper had a look of anger in his eyes.

He hated that she had helped the assailant flee the scene, but more than that, he worried greatly about her injury and wanted her to receive medical attention as soon as possible.

“I’ll get out of your way after I check on you.” She lowered her gaze and insistently touched his leg.

to check for any broken bones His good–looking face was bruised, and blood was oozing from his lips. The pristine suit on him was now dirty and stained.

How could she not feel bad for him? She was frustrated by Axel, who had gone too far this time.

“I want you to… get lost. Got it?” Worried and furious, Jasper bellowed at her.

“No! You have some old injuries. I can’t take it lightly. I will make sure you’re okay before I leave,” she yelled back with worry.

He examined the stern look on her lovely face. Doubt arose in his mind.

How did she learn about his old injuries? Did Landon tell her about it?

Soon, the ambulance arrived and sent Jasper and Landon to the nearest hospital for medical treatment. Thankfully, Jasper suffered from minor scrapes.

The fight did not make his old injuries flare up, much to Alyssa’s relief.

Landon stayed by Alyssa’s side at the hospital, except when the doctor extracted the bullet from Alyssa’s shoulder.

“How was it? Is the injury deep?” Upon seeing her pale face when she exited the treatment room, -his heart leaped to his throat.

She smiled and shook her head. “I received a few stitches. No big deal.” “How is that not a big deal?” His heart almost stopped. Frozen on the spot, he grappled with immense guilt. “Will it lead to any sickness, paralysis, or long–term effects?

Alice, you mustn’t lie to me. Tell me the truth!” “Pfft.” She found him ridiculous and poked fun at him in good nature, “You’re way too serious to 2/2 What would you do about that?” Tl marry you She glared at him. “What?” He gulped and choked back on tears. Then, he declared in a hoarse voice, “I will take responsibility. Alice, if you’re crippled, I will marry you and treat you well.” Today’s Bonus Offer

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 127-Alyssa silently cursed, “Oh, fuck! Is Landon Harper alright?” She chuckled awkwardly. “Mr. Harper, you are joking a lot today.” “I’m not joking. Alice, I’m serious!” In the heat of the moment, Landon reached for her shoulder, but she deftly dodged his advance.

“If I recall correctly, I have cleared the alr with you this morning. Do I have to be harsh for you to listen to me?” “I know you turned me down.” He smiled bitterly while staring keenly at her.

“And I know you’re with Jonah Taylor. But I still want you to know I’ll be here if you ever turn around. I don’t mind being your second choice, I can even be your second husband “My second husband? Please, I’m not Winston Taylor.” She secretly scoffed.

Still, she silently admired his ravishing eyes that were dripping with resentment.

He could charm anyone and take their soul with those eyes. No wonder he was successful with women.

Too bad Alyssa was immune to his charm. In comparison, she’d much prefer Jasper’s bewitching eyes that could be impassionate at times.

“By the way, Alice, who’s the guy that attacked Jasper? Do you know him well?” Landon was nervous.

When Alyssa was at a loss for words, Xavier approached them. He was dressed in a patient’s robe. “Madam Alice!” “Why are you wandering around?” She quickly walked past Landon to hold Xavier by the arm. “Your injuries weren’t serious, but you suffered a mild concussion when you hit the ground. You should rest more and stop going around.” “Madam Alice, did you save Mr. Jasper?” he asked in excitement.

“I–I did nothing.” She sounded upset as she battled feelings of remorse.

“I knew it. I knew he still has a place in your heart!” “Xavier, is Jasper done with the treatment?” Alyssa shifted the topic of conversation to avoid the discussion on her relationship.

Xavier nodded eagerly. “Could you please stay? At least visit him once.” She took a deep breath and reluctantly dragged herself to meet with Jasper.

At the end of the day, it was her brother who had beaten Jasper up. She was the reason for the attack, so she couldn’t stay out of the matter.

Jasper was leaning against the headboard and staring out the window. Despite the bruises, his face was a blessing. Loneliness crept up his face, which softened his features.

She had loved him for thirteen years. Even now, her heart would flutter when she saw him, but the feeling had changed.

“Mr. Jasper.” “I will get to the bottom of the incident tonight. Get out of my room before I lose my temper.” His expression was as icy as his tone. However, Alyssa was a stubborn one. She’d often go against orders. She walked up to the bed and stared at him fearlessly. “I apologize to you for the incident tonight. You can let it out on me and hold me responsible. He hurt you because of me, which makes me liable.” 1 She added, “If you want to settle this in private, I will fully cooperate with you. If you prefer going public. Well I guess you wouldn’t want to go to court with your ex–wife. You are a notable figure who’s engaged to Ms. Gardner.

“A court case against your ex–wife will only lead to public scrutiny and reputational damage. You wouldn’t want to explain the mess to your grandpa too, would you?” She hit the bull’s eye with the curt suggestion.

However, Jasper was more upset by how she sided with the attacker–she spoke up on his behalf and took the blame for him. Why would she sacrifice for that man?

Jasper wondered about his place in her heart. Her willingness to protect a murderer had turned Jasper into a joke.

Do you take me as a tou

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 128-Riding the high of the alcohol, Jasper let out all his frustrations. As a disciplined and reserved man, he had never let out a sound, even when he was hit twice by bullets on the battlefield. Somehow, he lost control of himself at this moment.

“You’re not angry because my people hit you. And delinitely not because I almost died from the gunshot. You are angry because I lied to you. Is that so?” She felt a crippling pain as she was awash with disappointment.

That seemed to catch him by surprise. He pursed his lips in silence.

“We are living separate lives now. What’s the point of fussing over these detalls?

It’s meaningless.” She went on, “You’re only angry because your possession now belongs to someone else. You hate the feeling of losing something you once owned.

“You detest the feeling of losing control. That’s all. Mr. Jasper, In the interest of your health, let’s use the time to discuss the compensation.” “I can settle with you in private.” He shut his eyes for a moment before they fluttered open with rage. “Tell me who that man is. And tell me about your relationship with him. I’ll agree to settle in private on those conditions.” “No,” she blurted out without thinking.

“How about leaving Jonah Taylor and cutting off communications with the Taylor family? I can agree to settle in private if you do that.” 1 “Dream on.” She scoffed at the shamelessness of his outrageous demands. Her moving lips were lovely and distracting to him.

Squinting, he was taken by her beauty, perhaps because of the effect of alcohol.

Coming from a wealthy family, he would not easily fall for women. Not only that, he was able to handle seduction well.

But now “Fine. If you are reluctant to discuss this with me, I shall send my secretary to settle this matter with you. I won’t bother you any longer. Goodbye for now.” All of a sudden, she felt Jasper grasping her arm and pulling her to him. She lost her balance and fell onto his firm chest.

*Jasper Beckett, you-” Next, he sealed her lips with a kiss.

“Jasp–Let go- Alyssa was sweating nervously as she punched his shoulders. In the three years of marriage, not once had he held her hand or kissed her.

Surprisingly, he was kissing her like there was no tomorrow in the patient’s room.

At that moment, she felt nothing but blinding rage, which led her to bite his lips.

“Ouch!” Feeling the pain, he had to let go of her.

“You jerk! You’re a bastard!” Humiliated, she gave him a hard slap, leaving a stark mark on his face. 1 Equally enraged, he lost his bearing when he saw the tears In her eyes and the smudged lipstick on her lips, “Jasper, what do you take me as? You humiliated me during our marriage. Even after the divorce, you still wanted to step all over me. What will it take for you to spare me?” Shaking violently in anger, she carelessly wiped away her lipstick with the back of her hand while rebuking him in a trembling voice.

“You’d do anything you like to me. If you want me to be a slut that listens to you, you should forget about it. Do this again, and I’ll ruin your name!” With that, she gave him a death stare before leaving.

How could Jasper kiss her after they were divorced? It was an inappropriate move. She seethed.

Lysel” At that moment, a tall shadow appeared and rushed up to her. Jonah gave her a tight hug.

“Sorry, Lyse. I was late! Jonah cried from heartache.

Jonah, I’m fine.” Knowing she was hurt in the left shoulder, he refrained from touching the wound and gently draped an arm around her shoulder. “Does the wound still hurt? I’ll send you to the Taylor General Hospital and get you the best physician.” “I’m really fine.” Alyssa gathered herself and took a long, deep breath. There was an iciness in her eyes and her expression.

“Where’s Axel? I need to see him right now!” Alyssa’s villa had tumed into a battlefield. A storm was brewing.

Jonah kept his distance and sipped his tea by the table, as though he wasn’t involved in the matter.

Silas and Sean stood on each side of Alyssa Sa feet tall they nonetheless appeared rather weak and helpless beside the tenacious Alyssa.

“Um, M–Ms. Alyssa please don’t be angry. Axel is your brother after all” Sean feared for Axel and whispered in Alyssa’s ear “Right, Lyse. Axel is a professional spy. He knows his limits. This time, he just wanted to teach Jas a lesson.” Silas was scared shitless by the murderous look on Alyssa’s face.

Upon hearing that Jasper’s eyes widened, and his heart sank, Alyssa quickly tidi w about leaving Jonah Taylor and cutting off communications with the Taylor family? I can agree to settle in private if you do that.” 1 “Dream on.” She scoffed at the shamelessness of his outrageous demands. Her moving lips were lovely and distracting to him.

Squinting, he was taken by her beauty, perhaps because of the effect of alcohol.

Coming from a wealthy family, he would not easily fall for women. Not only that, he was able to handle seduction well.

But now “Fine. If you are reluctant to discuss this with me, I shall send my secretary to settle this matter with you. I won’t bother you any longer. Goodbye for now.” All of a sudden, she felt Jasper grasping her arm and pulling her to him. She lost her balance and fell onto his firm chest.

*Jasper Beckett, you-” Next, he sealed her lips with a kiss.

“Jasp–Let goAlyssa was sweating nervously as she punched his shoulders. In the three years of marriage, not once had he held her hand or kissed her.

Surprisingly, he was kissing her like there was no tomorrow in the patient’s room.

At that moment, she felt nothing but blinding rage, which led her to bite his lips.

“Ouch!” Feeling the pain, he had to let go of her.

“You jerk! You’re a bastard!” Humiliated, she gave him a hard slap, leaving a stark mark on his face. 1 Equally enraged, he lost his bearing when he saw the tears In her eyes and the smudged lipstick on her lips, “Jasper, what do you take me as?

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 130-Alyssa squinted coldly at Silas, “You called me earlier tonight and womed that Axel would make a move on Jasper. Why the sudder change in your attitude?” so it was you who called me out! Silas, you little shift Avel scrunched up his eyes and gritted his teeth tear you into piecest “How dare you speak to your brother like that? You little rascal! Lyse, don’t hold back. What he needs is a good lesson. You should haveE thrown him into the fire.” Silas decided to add fuel to the fire since Alyssa wouldn’t listen to him anyway.

Knowing Axel was in grave trouble, he wanted to stay but of it.

“Axel, are you not ashamed of yourself for talking to Silas like that? Aren’t you going to admit your fault? She was incensed.

“What fault? I beat up Jasper just for you!” Axel was adamant and rebellious.

“You wretched thingl Alyssa stapped the armrest but accidentally pulled on her wound. She moaned in pain and finched a little “What’s wrong, Lyse?” “Are you okay? You’re scaring me.” “Ms. Alyssa, are you alright? I’ll get a car to the hospital!” Jonah, Silas, Sean, and Axel immediately surrounded Alyssa like mother hens, looking nervous as if she was about to give birth Kneeling on a knee, Axel carefully held her hand against his chest with a pale face. “Did you pull on your wound? It’s my taut t’s al my fault! Scold me and hit me as much as you want!” 1 “So, you admit that you’re in the wrong?” She panted softly as her forehead turned sweaty.

“The thought of Alyssa taking the bullet for him brought him a lot of pain and guilt.

“Lyse, I fell bad for you. I couldn’t watch you suffer because of that bastard! We didn’t dote on you and raise you with love just for him to hurt you. He needs to pay for it!” “Axel, I will say this one last time.” Tears brimming, she said word for word, “I willingly married Jasper Beckett. No one forced me to. I know he had someone else in his mind. I knew that he was a cold–hearted man. I thought that with my passionate love, I could met his heart and make him fall for me. But I failed.” She went on, “I should be responsible for my choice. It’s all my fault, not his. So, you’d better not give him any trouble or hurt him?” Axel’s gaze wavered in shock.

“Axel it’s hard for me to get over this relationship.” She let out a long sigh with pain in her eyes. “To be honest with you, Jasper stil matters a lot to me after the divorce because I’ve loved him for years. Can’t we let bygones be bygones?

“Why would you create a scene when I’m ready to start anew? It will only complicate things between Jasper and me, forcing us to but each other! Did you consider my feelings when you beat him up?” *Lyse, I’m at fault! Please give me another chance! I’ll do anything for you! I won’t find trouble with Jasper anymore.” Axel pleaded to her with shimmery eyes.

He had never once frowned when he went on dangerous missions. However, the thought of not receiving forgiveness from his sister slee him with dread.

“Lyse…” A sly twinkle appeared in Alyssa’s woeful gaze. She pouted and demanded, “Two days later, go home with me and have dinner with Dad before you leave.” Jonah and Silas exchanged silent, knowing looks. Axel was reluctant to go home. He had no choice but to oblige to cheer Assau “Alright! I’ll go home with you
