Ch. 1291..1300

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 1291-The venue was in chaos, and security personnel were deployed to maintain order.

However, the event was grand, and numerous media outlets were invited. All the reporters swarmed Timothy, trapping him in the middle and making it difficult for him to move.

That was how the media industry worked. For them, scandals were like blood in the water, and they were the sharks.

Moreover, this was an epic scandal.

Victor's son-in-law, the hottest contender in the city's mayoral election, was actually involved in embezzlement and illicit affairs.

Who wouldn't want to be the first to report this? Every reporter was eager to devour Timothy alive.

"Mr. Hodgson, should I contact headquarters to send more personnel? The situation is getting out of control." Orlander's secretary hurriedly approached Orlander.

Standing in an inconspicuous corner, Orlander left the spacious stage to his rival with a smile that suggested he enjoyed watching the spectacle.

"Let's just quietly enjoy the show. You don't need to do anything. But make sure to protect me and my wife, lest a bigger spectacle unfold, and we get caught up later."

To prevent the situation from worsening, the Schmidt family increased security personnel to guard both the front and back doors of the venue.

At this moment, three black cars lined up at the entrance.

As the doors opened, prosecutors, dressed in suits with badges displayed, quickly exited the vehicles.

Leading the way was Silas. His eyes were bright, and he had a solemn expression. It was a far cry from his playful demeanor in front of his family.

His powerful presence was so intense that it made people hold their breath and refrain from staring.

Upon seeing the procession of prosecutors approaching, the security guard at the entrance was intimidated.

"Please make way. Don't delay our work." Silas spoke calmly, with a cold and composed expression.

The security guard dared not obstruct, nodding in agreement as he made way for them.

Upon entering the hall, Silas pressed the Bluetooth earpiece on his left ear and contacted Alyssa.

"Lyse, I'm in."

"What? How did it go so smoothly? That's a bit unexpected," Alyssa expressed some surprise.

"Look at who you're talking to. In critical moments, it has to be me—"

Unexpectedly, Silas only managed to keep up the act for three seconds before Schmidt Group's men swiftly arrived, forming an impenetrable barrier.

"Uh-oh, someone got slapped in the face."

Alyssa's playful laughter echoed in Silas' ear. "It seems it's not as smooth as you imagined."

"Can you see me?" Silas whispered, looking around.

"Of course. Not only can I see you, but I can also see what's happening inside the venue."

On the other end, Alyssa had her chin resting on her hand. From the screen, she watched Timothy being besieged by the crowd and a pale Victor, who was torn between leaving and staying.

She couldn't help but smile happily. "This is really a must-watch spectacle."

Silas straightened his posture and tightened his tie. "Hmph! Just watch, Lyse. I'll add the most intense scene to this spectacle today."

"Don't you need to get in first?"

As soon as Alyssa said that, Jasper's warm hand encircled her, gently rubbing her shoulders. "Lyse, don't worry. As I said, I have people inside. Silas will surely get in."

Alyssa's eyes were narrowed from her smile as she leaned against Jasper's chest.

She had been independent all these years, whether as his wife or a doctor without borders. She was like a proud and blooming rose with thorns.

But since she had Jasper, she just wanted to be an ordinary woman.

No matter what, he always spoiled her and gave her an irreplaceable sense of security.

"Sorry, there's an important event here today. You can't go in," said a Schmidt Group's bodyguard.

"Silas Taylor, prosecutor of Solana City Investigative Bureau."

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 1292-Silas' eyes were stern as he spoke. "I'm here on official orders. The Investigative Bureau has approved the arrest of Mr. Timothy Clemons for investigation. Please let us do our job."

"We weren't notified. We only know that unauthorized personnel are not allowed to step inside." The novelbin bodyguard's attitude became more uncompromising.

As Silas smirked, his eyes turned cold. "Do you know that you're already breaking the law?"

The bodyguards had a strong backing, so they didn't take Silas seriously.

"Looking at your attire, you're obviously not official personnel. Given your fear of us entering to make an arrest, I'm suspecting you're affiliated with Schmidt Group." Silas chuckled.

The bodyguards suddenly panicked.

Before they came to stop the prosecutors, Josh had explicitly ordered them not to mention a word about the Schmidt Group, no matter how they were pressured.

They just had to stall the prosecutors to give more time for the Schmidt family's operations. If Timothy was taken away by the prosecutors, it would be a dead end.

So they could only grit their teeth and say, "No! We're not from Schmidt Group. We were sent by Mr.

Hodgson to maintain order."

"Oh? You're Mr. Hodgson's people? How come I don't recognize any of you?"

A calm voice, accompanied by footsteps, approached. At once, everyone turned around.

The person approaching was none other than Daniel Crosby, Orlander's chief secretary. He was accompanied by a group of people, all working for the Hodgson family.

Schmidt Group's bodyguards were dumbfounded.

"How dare you impersonate the Hodgson family's men and frame Mr. Hodgson right under his nose?"

Daniel sternly scolded, then turned to Silas with a polite smile. "Mr. Taylor, I think you should issue another arrest warrant to apprehend these people who are obstructing official duties. Get the name of the person behind their back to clear Mr. Hodgson's name."

Silas nodded. "I'll investigate this matter thoroughly."

"Good. By the way, Mr. Hodgson supports the officials' decisions and will spare no effort to cooperate fully with the work of the prosecutors."

Daniel took the opportunity to boost Orlander's image. He was truly smart.

People from the Schmidt Group were utterly defeated. None dared to block the prosecutors anymore.

"Thank you for your cooperation."

Silas walked with determination, leading his subordinate, Finley Lawson, toward the venue.

As they left, Daniel avoided others and went to a corner to make a phone call.

At this moment, Jasper, who was asking for a kiss from Alyssa, received a call on his phone.

"Stop it… I gotta answer the phone." Blushing, Alyssa put her hands on his chest. When she felt the perfect shape of his chest muscles through his shirt, she began to imagine things.

Jasper's eyes deepened. Taking advantage of her distraction, he grabbed her chin and pecked her lips before pressing the speakerphone button.

Daniel's voice came through. "Mr. Beckett, I've taken care of the matter you instructed. Mr. Taylor has already entered the venue."

"Thank you, Daniel."

Suddenly, Jasper leaned his tall and sturdy body toward Alyssa, pressing her against the car window.

The next second, his uncompromising kiss came down forcefully, sealing her lips.

Of course, he wasn't satisfied with just a brief taste. His greedy nature was always revealed in front of her.

Alyssa's eyes were shining under Jasper's passionate kiss. Instinctively, she wrapped her arms around his neck. However, she was surprised deep down.

She had been monitoring everything that happened in the hall through the camera.

The person Jasper arranged was actually Orlander's chief secretary?

Alyssa couldn't help but be astonished.

Smiling, Daniel said respectfully, "It's nothing, Mr. Beckett. It's my honor to assist in any way I can.

Moreover, helping you is, in a way, helping Mr. Hodgson. After all, Mr. Hodgson has been looking forward to this spectacle today. In the future…"

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 1293-"Feel free to ask if you need my help, Mr. Beckett." Daniel was extremely polite as if Jasper were his boss.

Meanwhile, the temperature in the car gradually rose. Jasper's and Alyssa's lips intertwined in a deep and lingering kiss. novelbin As Jasper reluctantly ended this euphoric moment, he smiled in satisfaction.

No one could tell whether this satisfaction was due to Daniel's response or Alyssa's enthusiastic reaction.

When the call ended, Alyssa's forehead was covered in a thin layer of sweat.

"Do you have clones? You're involved everywhere. You even have people by Orlander's side?"

She lightly panted in Jasper's embrace, her gaze soft and tender. "Those people in the political field are all cunning. They're all snobs who favor the rich.

"Especially those in positions like chief secretary. Being the high-ranking officials' confidants, they're the most difficult to win over. How did you buy him over?"

Jasper gently stroked her sweat-dampened hair, raising an eyebrow. "Because I'm rich and respectable enough."

"Cut it out… Such a big ego." Alyssa poked his cheek with her fingertip.

"Daniel has been with Orlander for many years. But as far as I know, Orlander is hot-tempered and extremely harsh on his subordinates. Working under him is like walking on thin ice.

"Even though Daniel has had several opportunities for promotion, Orlander deliberately suppressed him. If you were in his shoes, would you still be loyal to such a boss?"

Alyssa nodded understandingly. "So, he found that the political path was not viable and decided to switch to the business field. You took the opportunity to promise him some benefits, like arranging for him to enter Beckett Group if he worked for you. Am I right?"

Jasper's eyes were full of affection as he smiled. "Lyse, you're truly clever."

"Train this Daniel well. He's quite quick-witted. He could please both of his bosses while being discreet.

He'll surely be useful in the future." Alyssa's bright eyes sparkled with intelligence.

Thinking he had everything arranged, Josh was about to send someone to quickly get Daisy and Timothy out of the venue when Silas and a group of prosecutors approached them fiercely.

"J-Josh, how did they get in?" Daisy trembled behind Josh. Her aristocratic demeanor was completely gone.

Josh gritted his teeth, looking at Silas with a dark expression as he walked up to him.

"Mr. Josh, things don't always go your way. No matter how you try to block and resist, the light of justice will eventually shine through."

Silas looked at him with a half-smile, his presence exuding righteousness.

"After all, Solana City doesn't belong to the Schmidts. Some people dare to think they can suppress others with power, playing god. I think they're just walking into hell with their own feet."

Josh was infuriated but could only maintain a stiff smile. "Mr. Taylor, I don't understand what you're saying."

Silas raised an eyebrow. "I'm not here as a Taylor. I'm here as a prosecutor. Step aside. Don't block the way."

With that, he forcefully bumped into Josh, leading his team into the venue.

Josh shook off the pain from the shoulder collision and glared maliciously at Silas' retreating figure, his gaze cutting like a venomous dagger.

"Josh! What do we do? Oh, what do we do? They're going to arrest Tim! Stop them!" Daisy was frantic, shaking Josh's arm wildly.

"Shut up!" Josh couldn't take it anymore and shouted angrily.

Shocked, Daisy left her mouth half-opened, instantly becoming mute.

Faced with all the cameras, the articulate Timothy turned pale. Even his hair was a mess. The only thing he wanted to do now was escape.

Just then, brisk footsteps approached, and everyone instinctively made way.

"Look! It's the prosecution team!"

When Timothy heard that, he shuddered violently.

Meanwhile, Silas strode toward him authoritatively and presented an arrest warrant.

The buzzing crowd suddenly fell silent.

Only Silas' clear and stern voice resonated.

"Timothy Clemons, you're suspected of corruption, abuse of power, and illicit affairs. Please come with us for investigation."

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 1294-As Timothy saw the prosecution team approaching him, he knew that he was doomed. His legs gave way, and he buckled in front of everyone.

All social media and news platforms simultaneously replaced their headlines with a breaking news update—Timothy had been arrested.

Quick-witted reporters had already rushed to Victor.

"Mr. Victor, do you have anything to say about the arrest of your son-in-law?"

"Are you aware of Mr. Clemons' actions?"

"Have you benefited during Mr. Clemons' years in office? Did he use his power to channel benefits to the Schmidt Group?"

The furious Victor gritted his teeth, his face turning ashen.

He thought Josh would handle things well, but the prosecutors from the Investigative Bureau still barged in. And they were led by none other than Winston's second son, Silas!

Both being business tycoons, it was a great disgrace for Victor to have his son-in-law arrested by novelbin Winston's son. What an insult to his dignity!

If he had known, he wouldn't have stayed here. He would have slipped away amid the chaos. Staying here was a mistake.

"Dad! Let's get out of here!" Josh hurriedly arrived, helping his father and guiding him toward the exit.

Yet reporters relentlessly followed. Under Josh's protection, Victor struggled to move forward. In the midst of the crowded chaos, Victor's shoe was accidentally stepped off.

"Oh, no! My shoe!" Victor awkwardly lifted his left foot.

"Dad! Why worry about a shoe at a time like this? Hurry, we need to go!" Josh was sweating from the urgency, only concerned with dragging Victor out.

So, with one foot bare, Victor embarrassingly escaped the scene.

"Look! Why is there a shoe on the ground?"

"Is it Victor's? Is he so panicked that he lost his shoe? Hahaha!"

Reporters took pictures of the shoe and laughed loudly.

…

When Timothy was dragged out of the venue by the prosecutors, his legs were dragging on the ground.

He was so terrified to the point of being unable to take a single step.

Meanwhile, Alyssa and Jasper observed everything that was happening from across the street.

Xavier had already brought over glasses of prepared champagne, joy evident on his face.

"Congratulations, Mr. Beckett, Madam. You two make a powerful alliance. You're unstoppable!"

Alyssa and Jasper raised their glasses, smiling in satisfaction. As they shared a deep gaze, they clinked their glasses, producing a pleasant sound.

"Thank you for lending a helping hand, Mr. Beckett. It's been a pleasure working with you." Alyssa's eyes held a tender gaze. Her naturally tinted lips stunned his heart and captivated his soul.

"I didn't do much. It's mainly thanks to you, dar—"

The word "darling" almost slipped out of Jasper's mouth. His heart skipped a bit, and he quickly corrected himself.

"Thanks to you, Lyse. You've thought through and strategized everything. I just cooperated with you and did what I could."

God knew how much Jasper envied seeing Landon openly embrace Lauren, sweetly calling her darling.

How he wished he could openly talk about his lovely wife in front of others.

But he had nothing to blame but himself for missing too many opportunities for happiness. Their reunion was already a miracle.

He didn't dare to ask for more. He would gladly be by her side, even if he remained an unnamed guardian.

Seeing her valiant warrior's eyes flickering with panic over a small mistake in his words, Alyssa couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart.

She leaned in and wrapped her arms around Jasper's neck. Lifting her face, she planted a kiss on his chin.

Xavier immediately opened the car door and got out. As a qualified secretary, he should be deaf and blind.

Jasper's breathing deepened gradually. His hand, with tense veins, caressed her waist. "Lyse, stop tormenting me."

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 1295-Jasper whispered, "My strong self-control crumbles before you."

Alyssa's eyes were slightly red. Her voice was soft and melodious as she whispered back into his ears, "You were very capable. Tonight… you'll be rewarded."

This crucial seminar for Solana City concluded in a spectacular and absurd farce.

Timothy's scandalous political career was exposed to the public, causing strong condemnation in society. It even alarmed the president, who ordered a thorough investigation into the Clemons family and all officials associated with Timothy to eradicate the corruption.

Everyone in the political field felt threatened and hated Timothy to the core.

Schmidt Group also suffered. Not only was its reputation damaged, but it had also lost its credibility, attracting attention from higher-ups.

Victor checked Twitter on his way back home. When he saw his abandoned shoe at the scene being shared online with memes like "Get the same edition as the rich now", he was so furious that he yelled and threw his phone, shattering the windshield of his luxury car.

By the time he returned home, it was already late at night.

Victor couldn't sleep, so he summoned everyone to the living room for a meeting.

David, who was still drunk, stumbled over, muttering and cursing. Victor jolted him awake with a swift slap.

Meanwhile, Jameson sat on the side calmly, with his elbow resting on the armrest. He supported his novelbin head with his fist, watching the scene with a hint of amusement.

"It's obvious that someone deliberately set Timothy up. Who… Who dares to scheme against us?"

Victor roared in anger, almost smashing the expensive coffee table.

Victor had been a powerful figure for decades. When had he ever been in such a humiliating situation?

He had lost his dignity and his shoe. He needed to vent, no matter what.

"Dad, Timothy's arrest has a significant impact on Schmidt Group."

As Josh pondered, his gaze was extremely gloomy. "Our top priority should be to sever all ties with him. We should destroy any evidence of the benefits we gained from him in the past. This incident has alarmed the president. If things continue like this, we'll be under investigation soon."

"What? Parasite Tim get arrested? Why?" David squinted his drunken eyes, still not grasping the situation.

"Idiot! Is it not brain but shit in your head? All you do is drink and fool around with women. You're nothing like your brothers!

"How did I end up with such a useless waste like you, who can't get hard?" Victor had completely lost patience with David. Coupled with his current anger, the words he spat out were highly insulting, attacking David's very core.

David hated being told he was inferior to Jameson and being labeled impotent.

Victor was wildly stomping in his danger zone.

"I'm in this state today all because of Alyssa!" Irritated and ashamed, David breathed heavily with reddened eyes. "If it weren't for that self-righteous quack doctor performing surgery on me, how the fuck would I end up like this? It's all that bitch's fault!"

"Who did you just call a bitch?"

Jameson parted his pale lips as he stared at David with a glint of bloodthirsty menace in his eyes. "Say that again. Who's a bitch?"

David's heart skipped a beat. He nervously took a step back and slumped onto the couch.

His tone weakened as he said, "Anyway, it's all Alyssa's fault! She performed surgery on my leg. How could it affect my weenie? She must have secretly harmed me!"

In the past, he wouldn't have feared Jameson.

But he was now crippled. He had also lost influence in Schmidt Group and fell out of Victor's favor. His ferocity was gone, and he dared not confront Jameson head-on.

"David, Dad said you have shit in your head. Are you so eager to prove that?"

Jameson adjusted his glasses, smiling disdainfully. "If Lyse wanted to harm you, she wouldn't have saved you. She could have let you become a paraplegic.

"So, are you saying that to harm you, she cured your legs and then made you impotent? Haha! Save these stupid remarks for just us. Don't disgrace our family outside."

"You!" David's face turned as red as a tomato.

"Enough! Stop buzzing around like a fly!"

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 1296-Victor massaged his temples, looking deeply troubled. "Who collected such detailed evidence? Who has the capability to bypass everyone and expose the evidence on the screen? Who has this much influence?"

"Who else? It must be the Hodgsons. After all, Parasite Tim is Orlander's archenemy. With the upcoming election, Orlander will surely go all out and crush his rival," David grumbled angrily.

"No, it's not the Hodgsons," Josh decisively stated.

"Based on what I know, they don't have that capability. Even if they had some evidence, they wouldn't expose it at such a crucial meeting. It wouldn't benefit them, and they might face consequences from higher authorities."

Suddenly, realization dawned on him, and he clenched his teeth. "Why do I feel like this cunning and ruthless approach is something Alyssa would do?"

"Alyssa? Is it really that brat?" Victor was suddenly taken aback.

"Josh, do you have any evidence?"

Jameson's eyes darkened with a cold glint. "Are you just throwing dirt on Lyse because you had an argument with her at Heightsnew Villa last time? You're the president of a company, and that's your level of forgiveness?"

Josh replied, "My guess is not baseless. Last time, because of David's matter, we completely fell out with the Taylor family. Do you remember what Alyssa said then? With her vengeful personality, she would definitely come after us. And here she is."

He squinted his eyes, scrutinizing Jameson. "Jimmy, are you still dreaming of becoming the son-in-law of the Taylor family? Can't you have a bit of self-respect? The Taylor family is running wild over us now.

"The one leading the team to arrest Timothy is Alyssa's second brother, Silas. Just after everything was exposed, Silas came with his people. How could it be so coincidental?

Jameson was left speechless for a moment, clenching his fists in hatred.

"If Alyssa is really behind this, why go after Parasite Tim?" As David said that, he instantly realized something that sent shivers down his spine.

Back then, it was Timothy and Daisy who had conspired against Tatiana.

Could it be that Timothy was just a distraction? Was Alyssa's real target Daisy?

"Dad! Josh! You have to help Tim!"

Just then, Daisy rushed in from outside, sobbing. Her delicate makeup was already ruined. "Tim has served our family for so many years… You cant just stand by and watch him die!"

"You have the nerve to come here and cry? My reputation is completely ruined by your doomed novelbin husband!" Victor angrily stood up, pointing at Daisy's face.

"Timothy is finished. If you have a bit of brain left, quickly extricate and distance yourself from the Clemons family! If you keep being stubborn, I'll disown you! You can go down, but don't drag us along!"

Daisy stood there in shock, suppressing all the grievances she had in her heart and not uttering a single word.

"Daisy, the prosecutors will summon you in the next few days. You need to prepare."

Josh stepped forward and firmly pressed her shoulders. "Also, I'll arrange a press conference for you as soon as possible. First, you have to show your stance. Apologize to the public for Timothy's actions and establish a positive image of righteousness.

"Second, you have to use this opportunity to disassociate yourself from him. Deny any involvement in his actions. Lastly, you have to speak up for Schmidt Group and try to salvage our reputation as much as possible."

Daisy's mind was a mess, and she could only listen to whatever Josh said.

Meanwhile, Jameson remained silent, and the lenses of his glasses reflected a mysterious light.

He hated all these corrupt individuals, but he didn't want to see the Schmidt Group in trouble.

Otherwise, what he would inherit would be a complete mess.

Let Josh clean up the aftermath. Jameson just wanted to reap the benefits.

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 1297-Moonlight softly spilled into the room, and a delicate fragrance lingered in the air.

The V-cut abs on Jasper's waist were taut, and his eyes were filled with intense desire as he looked at the woman sitting on him.

The affection in his eyes was so intense that it could shatter the quiet night.

He wished to make the woman he loved so much a part of his body.

"I haven't tried this before. Don't be disappointed if I don't do well." Alyssa pressed her delicate hands against Jasper's heaving chest, and she shyly bit her crimson lips.

Meanwhile, Jasper held her slender thighs in both hands. He dared not reveal his excitement, restraining himself to the point that his fingers turned her skin slightly red.

He hadn't expected that the "reward" Alyssa mentioned would be trying a different position.

Although they had been intimate many times before, he initiated each time. He always used all his strength to provide her with a perfect experience.

It was always him taking the lead, and she enjoyed the pleasure.

This time, everything was reversed. How could he not be excited?

"I-Is it like this?" Alyssa softly asked, blushing.

Jasper's breath was steady, but the tremble of his waist muscles and his passionate eyes gave a heated response.

"Lyse… you don't have to force yourself," he said in a deep and mellow voice.

Alyssa closed her eyes and shook her head slightly. "Don't you want to try something different?"

"Yes, it's just… I'm afraid of making you uncomfortable." Jasper's throat tightened, and his voice trembled slightly.

"Silly." Alyssa bent down and drew circles on his thin lips with her index finger. "We're equals in bed.

Correct me if anything is lacking."

After a passionate night, Alyssa felt like she had sacrificed half of her life.

This was too tiring!

Lying down was much more comfortable!

In the second half, she was already so tired that she couldn't open her eyes. Yet Jasper wanted another round, and it seemed he even helped her wipe herself clean.

Was he an inexhaustible machine? He was really strong and energetic.

The next day, Alyssa slept until the sun was high. Her whole body was so sore that she rolled on the bed for a long time.

"I got it. Continue to monitor." Jasper's deep voice came.

Alyssa turned over and looked at his broad back at the bedside.

The next moment, her heart thumped, and she shyly buried herself in the blanket.

Jasper's back was covered with fresh, red marks, confirming the passionate events from last night.

"Good morning."

Jasper turned around and stroked her cheek affectionately. "I'll have Rosie come over and make you some food. You can sleep a little longer. You must be tired from last night."

Alyssa blinked shyly. Her soft voice revealed a hint of laziness as she asked, "Who were you talking to novelbin on the phone? Xavier?"

"Yeah."

Jasper lay down. Alyssa snuggled into his arms, and his arm tightly encircled her. "I asked him to continue using public opinion to attack the Schmidt Group online. Let them trend and enjoy this 'glory.'"

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 1298-"Well done." Alyssa pecked Jasper's cheek, and the sound was loud.

Being rewarded again, Jasper closed his eyes contentedly. "There's one more thing. There's movement on the Schmidt family's side."

"Oh? What did they do?" Alyssa instantly became alert.

"They're planning to hold a press conference to clarify what happened at the venue last time."

"Clarify? I think it's more like distancing themselves." Alyssa chuckled and drew a heart on Jasper's chest.

"Timothy has fallen. It's not just a talent groomed by the Schmidt family that has been ruined. They're all on edge, fearing repercussions from above."

Jasper's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. "To show sincerity, Schmidt Group will definitely hold a press conference as quickly as possible. It should be in the next two days."

"Hmph! Although that corrupt Timothy is unforgivable, the Schmidts' two-faced demeanor is truly hateful."

"Don't worry, Lyse. I said I would avenge Taty. I won't easily give up. If they hurt you or any of your family even a bit, I'll make them pay a painful price." Jasper fiercely gritted his teeth.

As Alyssa listened to his powerful heartbeat, a smile graced her face.

She loved Jasper's strong sense of justice and his upright and fearless personality. They shared the same values, both having a compassionate heart.

Jasper held Alyssa's delicate hand and touched her numb little finger.

 A sudden sorrow filled his chest, and he choked up. "Lyse, what happened to your little finger? Can you tell me?"

"It's nothing. I accidentally hurt it while climbing a tree when I was little. It's not a big deal."

Alyssa smiled, trying to make her smile look relaxed and natural. "It's just a little finger. It doesn't affect my work or life.

"I'm already an adult. You don't have to be so nervous around me. Relax. Our days ahead are still long.

Seeing you this tense, I'm going to get a heart attack sooner or later."

"Because it's about you." Jasper lowered his head and kissed her forehead.

Because it was about you, even the slightest details struck a chord with me and lingered in my mind."

"Jasper, I know you've been regretful and guilty about what happened before, even feeling inferior in front of me. But I don't like you being like this."

Alyssa's heartache was almost overwhelming as she gently stroked his face.

"I know how uncomfortable it is to feel self-conscious in front of someone you love. So, I don't want you to consume yourself with self-doubt and torture yourself.

"We've finally come together, and I hope… we can have a healthy relationship, just like ordinary people, simple and pure."

Once upon a time, in order to please Jasper and make him fall in love with her, she did everything she could.

The feeling was so bad that she would wake up crying from her dreams.

She loved him, so she didn't want him to go down the same path.

 Jasper understood her intentions. A pang of pain shot through his heart. He propped himself up on her side and sealed her lips again.

It was another passionate encounter, sometimes fierce, sometimes gentle.

Alyssa was a little dizzy, and she felt weak all over. It was as if she had drifted into the clouds.

"Lyse, after dealing with Schmidt Group, let's go to Swizo."

Jasper whispered in her ear, "Let's go on a nice trip. You wanted to see the snowy mountains, right? I'll go with you."

Alyssa's eyelashes trembled, and she agreed softly. "Okay."

She was also in the medical field and knew that there was a renowned gynecology professor in Swizo.

Although Jasper treated her very well, he was not the kind of person who sought comfort and ease. He surely wasn't the romantic kind, either. His sudden proposal to go on a trip must have a purpose.

He wanted to take her to see a doctor. Even if there was no hope, he had wanted to try.

Alyssa understood his intentions and also understood his feelings. If this could make him feel a little better, she wouldn't stop him.

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 1299-Silas had a solid and reliable set of evidence, so from the moment Timothy stepped into the Investigative Bureau, he wouldn't see the light of day again.

Daisy always acted domineering and arrogant, so not a single person was willing to help her at this critical moment. Everyone avoided her like she was some kind of virus.

Except for following Victor and Josh's orders to hold a press conference and publicly apologize like a tool for Schmidt Group, she had no other options. novelbin But why should she, a lady, do something so shameful?

The men of the Schmidt family, being close biological relatives, actually pushed her out to be publicly humiliated. Each of them hid behind her. Were they really human?

The press conference was scheduled for the day after tomorrow.

These days felt like an eternity for Daisy. She lost her appetite, suffered from insomnia, and was easily irritable.

She spent her entire afternoon in the wine cellar, drowning her sorrows in alcohol. Thinking about her years of effort being destroyed in an instant, she wept bitterly in the deserted wine cellar.

"It's better to think about why things turned out like this rather than crying here."

Daisy abruptly stopped crying when she saw Jameson approaching with a sardonic smile.

"W-Why?"

"Yes, why?"

Jameson casually sat down opposite her. He took a wine glass and poured himself a glass of red wine.

"You've protected Timothy so well. Over the years, he's been embezzling money, taking bribes, and enjoying the beauties others throw at him, yet none have ever been exposed.

"He has always been safe and sound. Why did everything suddenly go south? Why, of all times, is it happening now?"

"Yeah… Why?" Daisy, drunk from all the wine, couldn't think straight anymore.

"What have you done recently? Don't you have any idea?"

One sentence made Daisy suddenly realize something. "I-It's the Taylors? They did this?"

"You're not completely hopeless."

Jameson leisurely took a sip of red wine. "No matter how Timothy behaves in private, the Taylors have no grudge against him. Why bother going after him? It's clear they weren't targeting him from the beginning."

"The Taylors… are after me?" Panic and confusion were written all over Daisy's face. She staggered to her feet, knocking over the chair in the process.

"Daisy, you're in a precarious situation now. Even if you hold a press conference and clean up the mess for Schmidt Group, what's the point? You've lost something irreparable.

"And do you think the Taylors will easily let you off? Going after your man is just the beginning. You'll be next."

Terrified, Daisy covered her head and let out a hysterical scream that echoed through the entire wine cellar.

Jameson quickly covered his ears, looking at her with eyes that resembled those of someone watching a lunatic.

"No… it can't be! Tatiana's matter has nothing to do with me. I haven't done anything. It was all David.

They can't blame me. They can't treat me like this!"

Daisy rambled on and rushed out of the room.

Shortly afterward, Carl looked in from outside. He walked to the table and poured Jameson a drink.

"Mr. Schmidt, where's that crazy bitch going?"

"If I'm not mistaken, Daisy should have gone to find the Taylors."

"What?"

Carl was shocked. "The Taylors just recently severed ties with us, and now that crazy bitch is going there to cause trouble? Won't that make things worse between the two families?"

"It doesn't matter. Her actions don't concern me. No matter how she acts, it has nothing to do with me."

Jameson drank leisurely, his eyes flickering with a sinister glint. "Let her be. What awaits her is undoubtedly self-inflicted humiliation.

"And what I want is to fill her heart with hatred. When it reaches its peak, she'll become a time bomb, and certain people will be blown to pieces."

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 1300-Agitated by Jameson's words, Daisy rushed to Belbanks overnight in a drunken state.

Winston was at home that night. Neil was helping him take his medicine, and Mandy was checking his blood pressure.

Winston's blood pressure had been skyrocketing due to the stress caused by Alyssa over the past few days. However, as the chairman of KS Group and a magnate, he still couldn't find Alyssa.

After a few days, he had transitioned from initial anger to a simple concern for his daughter's safety. His emotions gradually stabilized.

He kept inquiring about Alyssa's situation from Jonah and the others, but they kept their lips sealed.

Jonah and Axel knew that, no matter what Winston said, he was deeply concerned about Alyssa. His overly intense reaction and actions were also driven by his concern.

So, as long as they kept him worried about her, his resentment and hatred toward Jasper could be somewhat diverted.

"Winston, I don't mean to scare you, but you really need to take care of your health."

Frowning, Mandy put the blood pressure monitor aside. "You always talk about death, but I know you novelbin well. You want to live a long life more than anyone else.

"You hope to see your children and grandchildren build their own happy families and enjoy multi- generational bliss. But if you continue to neglect your health like this, I'm afraid you might not live to see that day."

Winston pressed his lips into a thin line, looking like a boy scolded by adults.

Seeing this scene from the side, Neil couldn't help but smile helplessly.

Among the ladies at home, only Mandy's words could get through to Winston. Perhaps it was because of her dominating presence.

"My health is getting worse day by day, all because of that brat Lyse! She'll be happy if she manages to stress me to death. By then, she can be with that bastard Jasper every day, giving birth to—"

As Winston spoke in a fit of anger, his heart dropped, and his words came to an abrupt halt.

In the quiet study, a sorrowful atmosphere lingered.

"Winston, please don't say that in front of Lyse."

Mandy's expression turned even more serious. "You're used to giving orders and being domineering outside, but please don't show this disrespectful attitude in front of your family. Otherwise, you might become an old man who can't earn anyone's respect."

Winston pursed his lips and remained silent.

"Lyse is… already very sad." Mandy lowered her eyes and took a deep breath. "As her family, we should support her no matter what, rather than expressing emotions recklessly without considering her feelings. That's like stabbing a knife into her heart.

"Winston, I've been with you from the beginning. I know how strong and smart Lyse is. Although she grew up with a silver spoon, she never asked anything from you, never stopped you, and never demanded anything from you, right?"

Winston was pressing his lips so tightly that they were turning pale.

"She has never asked you for anything. Now, she just wants Jasper. Why can't you fulfill her wishes?"

When Mandy said these words, her heart ached.

"She has harmed herself for that bastard! If I continue seeing her harm herself, am I still her father?"

Though Winston was somewhat moved, his words remained unyielding.

"But Lyse hasn't experienced true happiness all these years."

Mandy's eyes reddened. "The only time I feel she's truly happy is when she's with Jasper."

"But Jasper—"

"Winston, do you remember what Jennifer told you before she passed away?"

At those words, Winston felt as though he were shocked by lightning. The tingling sensation traveled to his head, causing his pupils to constrict.

Of course, he remembered.

Even if one day he became frail, with blurred vision, unclear speech, and his brain suffering from decay, he would never forget the sights, sounds, and smiles she left behind.

As he reminisced about the moments spent with her in his final hours, his smile would retain the brightness of a young man deeply in love.
