Ch. 1441..1450

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 1441-Cyrus continued, "It exploded just as it was about to fly out of Solana City, near the boundary with Belbanks."

"Exploded?" Alyssa and Jasper widened their eyes.

"Yes, residents living within the radius heard a huge explosion. That helicopter was blown up on the spot. I think there should be no survivors." Cyrus took a sharp breath.

Jasper's heart sank. His sharp gaze suddenly turned toward Jameson.

They had just discovered Inigo's whereabouts, and Jameson showed up to interfere. Then, the helicopter explosion happened.

It seemed like everything was within Jameson's control.

"No survivors… Can we know who the owner of the helicopter was? Can we know how many people were on board and their identities?" Alyssa asked urgently, her gaze piercing.

Cyrus whispered to Alyssa and Jasper, "I've sent people to investigate the specific information about the helicopter and have also retrieved surveillance footage from along the route and nearby areas. We should have results soon."

"It's probably Inigo."

Jasper's face turned cold. His voice was hoarse as he said, "Jameson is playing us—first with misdirection and now with diversion.

"He knew that we would find out about his purchase of a private plane and would use the plane to send Inigo away. So, he suddenly showed up at the airport to make himself a focal point and cover for Inigo.

"From the beginning, he never intended for Inigo to leave Solana City on that plane."

"Fuck! This son of a bitch… He's really cunning!" Landon cursed loudly, as though he wanted Jameson to hear him.

"No." Alyssa closed her reddened eyes, anger raging in her chest. "He never intended for Inigo to leave Solana City alive from the beginning.

"If I'm not mistaken, this private plane was originally meant to be used to kill Inigo. But we discovered it, and Inigo's whereabouts were exposed, so he prepared another helicopter for them to perish." novelbin The atmosphere fell into a suffocating silence.

They had to admit that Jameson had the upper hand this time.

"Chief Cyrus, if you don't need me to cooperate with the investigation, can I leave now?

Jameson pushed up his glasses. His cold gaze carried a hint of amusement. "Rather than wasting time on me, you'd better hurry up and think how to handle the troubles ahead.

"News about the plane explosion is spreading like wildfire online. Chief Cyrus, aren't you going to contact the headquarters to control public opinion?"

Hearing Jameson's audacious words, Cyrus gritted his teeth.

In the end, Jameson glanced meaningfully at Alyssa, then turned and pushed his mother's wheelchair toward the gangway.

As soon as they boarded the plane, Cyrus received a message from his colleague.

"We can now confirm that the people on the helicopter were Inigo and his men. Cameras along the wreckage near the explosion site. We may have more updates later."

As soon as Cyrus finished speaking, Alyssa turned around.

Jasper tried to grab her, but he was too late. "Lyse! Where are you going? Lyse! Come back!"

However, Alyssa didn't look back. Instead, she sprinted toward Jameson's private plane.

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 1442-Lily had just boarded the plane and was already feeling weak, so Jameson helped her to the bed.

As he emerged from the inner cabin, he saw a fierce Alyssa. Her eyes were bloodshot, and her beautiful face was tainted with fury.

"M-Mr. Schmidt…" Carl stood behind Alyssa, looking extremely uneasy.

This was the woman that Jameson held dear to his heart. Even if she wanted to blow up the plane, he didn't dare to intervene.

The fierce look in Jameson's eyes softened at once. He smiled gently.

Just as he wanted to approach Alyssa, she moved first, striding toward him.

She grabbed him by the collar. Turning resentment into strength, she forcefully slammed him against the cabin door with a loud bang.

The gorgeous and expensive crystal glasses on the table fell to the ground, creating a mess beneath their feet.

"Mr. Schmidt! Ms. Alyssa! Please talk things out!" Carl was flustered, yet he dared not make a move.

He could only shout from his place.

Smiling, Jameson stared at Alyssa's crimson gaze unwaveringly. He raised his hand to signal Carl not to come closer.

"It was you, wasn't it?"

Their eyes locked. Alyssa's eyes burned with anger, and her hands, clenching his stiff collar, were trembling. "You've escaped and succeeded again. You must be feeling extremely proud of yourself right now, aren't you?"

"Lyse, I really don't know what you're talking about."

Jameson maintained his composure as he gazed at her. His gaze was filled with an almost pathological, insatiable affection.

"Regardless, I'm very happy to have this opportunity to be so close to you and to see you up close.

Lyse, you've lost weight. Did Jasper not take care of you? Is he really treating you well?"

"Jameson, what right do you have to say such things? It's an insult to Jasper whenever you mention his name." The veins on Alyssa's forehead twitched.

A sharp pain pierced Jameson's heart. "You really love him, just like how I love you." "Don't talk to me about love. Your love is too filthy!" Alyssa interrupted with disgust.

"Is that love? Your love is just recklessly harming my loved ones. You ruthlessly eliminate anyone who displeases you and stands in your way. Jameson, what turned you into a cold-blooded, monstrous killer? You weren't like this before."

Jameson suddenly stared at her intently and then burst into laughter.

He pondered her question.

The young Alyssa was so lovely and lively in his mind, but he couldn't remember what kind of person he was in front of her back then.

Yet he didn't think he had done anything wrong. He felt that he was still the same person who loved her the most.

"I don't think I've done anything wrong. Everyone has their own way of showing love. I'm just using my way to love you."

Alyssa couldn't bear to hear the word "love" coming from Jameson's mouth. It sent chills down her spine. "What will it take for you to stop your madness? What will it take for you to stop?"

"Leave Jasper and be with me." Jameson's voice was hoarse. His gaze at her was brimming with affection.

It wasn't a negotiation anymore. It was more like a confession to her.

"Heh… Dream on," Alyssa said word by word. She felt as if flames were burning in her blood.

"We'll be together one day, Lyse, one day." Jameson chuckled softly, completely unfazed by her cold attitude. He was truly stubborn and beyond redemption.

Alyssa suddenly released her grip, stepping back two paces to put distance between them. "Jameson, listen carefully. You've provoked me. You're now my archenemy. I'll never let you off the hook, never.

"You wanted compensation, didn't you? If my compensation means sending you to hell, would you still want it?"

With these resolute words, Alyssa turned around and walked away with determination.

Carl watched the whole scene unfold on the side. Petrified, he was too scared to even breathe.

Just then, Jameson clutched his throbbing heart, breathing heavily. He sat in the chair weakly, trembling as he reached out his left arm toward Carl.

"I'll get it now."

Carl immediately took out a steel box, extracted a syringe, and skillfully injected a dose of medication into Jameson's vein.

Slowly, Jameson's trembling body stabilized. The temporary numbness brought some comfort, making the pain in his heart feel less intense.

He was determined to have Alyssa entangled with him, as that was the only meaning of his existence.

As the plane was about to take off, Jameson's phone rang.

Seeing the word "Sir", he didn't dare delay. He answered immediately. "Sir."

"The fireworks over Solana City tonight were quite beautiful. I really enjoyed them." The man on the other end spoke with a low, pleasant voice.

"I'm glad you enjoyed them," Jameson replied respectfully.

"But it's quite a pity."

"It's not a pity. Whether it's the 100 million or the plane, they are all just sacrifices in my eyes."

The man chuckled. "What I pity is Ms. Alyssa. She's such a proud and competitive person, yet in the end, she still lost to you."

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 1443-On the way back from the airport, Alyssa stared at the neon lights outside the window, not saying a word to Jasper.

He knew she was feeling down, so he let her be. But he never loosened his grip on her cold hand.

His gaze remained fixed on Alyssa. Her frozen yet still beautifully captivating profile stirred his heart endlessly. He was very worried about her.

They returned home under the suffocating atmosphere.

Just as they entered, they received a call from Cyrus. "Lyse, the identities are almost confirmed. It's Inigo and his men."

Alyssa closed her eyes, biting her lip until it bled.

Meanwhile, Jasper's eyes were bloodshot. Seeing her torment herself like this made it almost unbearable for him to breathe.

"Hundreds of officers from the search department conducted a blanket search near the explosion site.

They found their two passports and some personal items that were enough to prove their identities.

They're Tsulu nationals. With the surveillance along the route, we can basically confirm it's them."

Noticing Alyssa's silence, Cyrus quickly reassured her, "Lyse, don't get upset. Inigo and his men are all bad guys. They are all criminals in Tsulu, with several lives on their hands.

"I heard that Inigo has used his military position in his country to commit countless atrocities. He always manages to escape punishment by colluding with officials and bribing them. This time, he got what he deserved.

"We're still looking for the helicopter's black box, but there's a possibility of foul play in this explosion.

Fortunately, there were no additional casualties, so Lyse, don't get worked up. Leave the rest to us."

Alyssa parted her dry lips. "I know, but Cyrus—"

"I know you feel frustrated and helpless because we let Jameson escape again. Even though Inigo is dead, the puppet master behind him is still dancing under your nose. Others may not understand this feeling of powerlessness, but I'm a police officer. Do you think I don't understand?"

Cyrus spoke softly, comforting his beloved sister. Despite being known for his fiery nature at the station, he exercised utmost patience with her.

"But Lyse, no one can always win. If you self-deny and fall into despair because of a temporary setback, then you're truly losing to your opponent, and all your previous efforts would be in vain.

"If you want to achieve ultimate victory, you must have an indomitable spirit. Lyse, we haven't been defeated yet. Capturing him is only a matter of time."

After a pause, Cyrus continued, "In all my years as a police officer, I've brought a serial killer who escaped for 20 years to justice. I've never encountered a case that couldn't be solved. Always remember —where there's a will, there's a way."

The Taylors never believed in fate and never gave up.

"Thank you for comforting me, Cyrus. Don't worry, I'm not that weak."

After hanging up the phone, Alyssa finally burst out crying. She threw herself into Jasper's arms, crying uncontrollably.

The seemingly impregnable fortress of her heart collapsed in front of the man she loved in an instant.

Jasper held her tightly around the waist with his left arm, his right hand gently stroking her trembling back.

He whispered in her ears, softly coaxing her, "Cry it out, Lyse. Let it all out. You can cry or vent however you want. Just don't keep your emotions bottled up inside. It'll only harm your body."

"Why am I… so stupid…" Alyssa grabbed his shirt tightly, still unable to stop blaming herself.

"Silly, if you're stupid, then I'm just a brainless animal."

"See… You're calling me silly too…" Alyssa cried even harder.

Jasper's face was filled with regret. He wished he could slap himself for saying that.

"Alright… I know you're trying to comfort me. I'll be okay after crying."

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 1444-Alyssa rubbed her damp face against his chest. When she lifted her head, Jasper's sturdy chest muscles hidden beneath his shirt were faintly visible, seducing her.

She felt a bit embarrassed now. After sniffing a few times, she rubbed her palms against the spot on his chest where her tears had dampened it.

The adorable sight ignited a warm rush within Jasper, making his heart flutter.

But he wouldn't keep her awake tonight. He just wanted her to rest well in his arms so she could recharge herself.

"You haven't eaten anything all night. You should be hungry, right? I'll make something for you." Jasper looked at her with concern, gently wiping away the tears at the corners of her eyes.

"You haven't eaten either. Let me do the cooking. You're too slow in the kitchen. It'll be too late to eat by then." Alyssa sniffled.

Jasper smiled helplessly. "Then I'll have Mrs. Rosie do it."

"It's late. I'll do it."

"Then let's do it together."

This warmed Alyssa's heart. "Okay."

With a skilled cook around, Jasper could only assist. Alyssa effortlessly made a grain bowl. To be more accurate, it was a grain pot.

It was a really large pot.

It seemed like she was trying to vent her anger with food.

"Lyse… it's so late. Will you be able to sleep at night after eating so much? Won't you feel uncomfortable?" Jasper stared at the pot, suddenly feeling full.

Standing by the table, Alyssa rolled up her sleeves. She then vigorously mixed the ingredients in the pot with a large spoon. "Don't worry. After eating, I'll go rowing on the lake in the backyard for an hour, so I'll burn it all off."

Jasper swallowed hard, feeling speechless.

This woman was really ruthless with herself.

After mixing the ingredients, Alyssa scooped up a large spoonful and forcefully stuffed it into Jasper's mouth.

"Eat."

Jasper chewed hard, almost choking.

Alyssa also scooped up a spoonful. She opened her small mouth to an astonishing size as she chewed vigorously. If she weren't so pretty, her expression while eating would be downright terrifying.

She was really angry, indeed.

After a while, the couple actually finished eating the grain bowl.

Jasper was originally the kind of person who rarely ate at night, and he didn't have the habit of having supper. But for her, he broke those rules he had maintained for over a decade.

"Whew… I feel much better now." Alyssa sat back on the couch with narrowed eyes. She was already too full to get up.

The two of them snuggled together in the quiet living room, enjoying the rare peaceful time of the day.

"Jasper." Alyssa raised her hand and scratched Jasper's chin.

"Yeah?" Jasper responded softly as he grabbed her hand and pressed it against his chest.

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 1445-"Aren't you curious what I told Jameson after barging into his plane?" Alyssa resisted the entire day and eventually decided to ask.

Jasper smiled lightly. "Why? Are you afraid I would be jealous?"

"Pfft! If you would get jealous of someone like him, you are basically questioning my character." Alyssa poked his chest hard with her fingertip.

"Before this, I was really jealous when I saw both of you together." Jasper's eyes reddened slightly. He lifted her hand and planted a warm kiss on her palm.

"I know. It was so obvious. I'm not blind."

Alyssa pouted as a light sense of uneasiness appeared on her face. "At that time, you and I just divorced, so I had accumulated so much anger at you. I was overjoyed when I saw you getting angry.

"I thought I was different from other women. Divorce wasn't a big deal. I thought I could let it go as easily as getting divorced. Then, I finally understood the joy I felt seeing you angry didn't stem from the satisfaction of getting revenge—it was the feeling that you still cared."

It was 13 years of pursuing, crushing on, and obsessing.

It was impossible to let it go that easily.

Jasper's breath slowed down. An endless sense of sadness rushed through his veins. His chest was churning as his mind was racing.

The sentence "Let's get married again" had been brewing in his heart for so long. He even dreamt of the day he would say it. However, at this moment, he forced it back down his throat once again.

Was he worthy?

Was he worthy of being her husband again?

"I've… always cared for you," Jasper murmured shakily. He choked so much that he couldn't utter the last word.

Alyssa felt she had touched a sore spot, so she changed the subject. "Actually, I didn't say much to Jameson. I just. vented my anger."

"It's good to vent it out."

"I really don't understand his life in Kontina for the past 15 years. What could he possibly experience, or who did he meet that had caused his heart to harden to this point?"

An image of Jameson laughing maniacally appeared in Alyssa's mind. She shook her head. "He was never like this. I still remember the time we snuck out to play when we were younger and saw a snake in the woods.

"He was more terrified than I was but still courageously stood before the snake. He shivered all over and scared the snake away. There are still many instances… He was a pretty good person growing up."

"I've looked into his background. I'm afraid his mother has a lot to do with his animosity toward the Schmidt Group."

Jasper hugged Alyssa's shoulders and said, "Mrs. Schmidt's position in the Schmidt Group had never been favorable. Three of the children were not hers. She had to be careful, being a stepmother constantly walking on thin ice.

"At that time, Jameson was young. Plus, you know how he was. He was too weak and unable to protect his mother.

"Mrs. Schmidt was an honest and uncompetitive woman, so she and Jameson were often ostracized."

Alyssa nodded slowly.

She was no stranger to the situation with the Schmidt Group. She heard a lot of gossip from Winston and his wives.

"I also heard Victor despised Mrs. Schmidt because she had an affair with Victor's bodyguard."

Alyssa was unbelievably shocked. "Ah, how is that possible? I met Mrs. Schmidt when I was younger.

She is so pleasant and gentle and is genuine toward Mr. Schmidt. How could she have an affair with a bodyguard?"

"Yes, so there is something fishy about this."

Jasper frowned slightly. "Mr. Schmidt must still kept in the dark about this. However, the three Schmidt siblings must have had a hand in this.

"That bodyguard who was involved with Mrs. Schmidt is currently overseas under Josh's surveillance.

Don't you think this is weird?"

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 1446-Alyssa asked, "Is this Josh's scheme?"

"It's probable. This incident also damaged the relationship between Mr. and Mrs. Schmidt. Mrs.

Schmidt had caused Jameson, who was never favored in the family, to be shunned in Kontina.

"He was left there for 15 years with no support. During these years, Mrs. Schmidt's health deteriorated, causing Jameson to lose his only support in the Schmidt Group. He did not receive any financial support and lived a difficult life in Kontina."

Alyssa was somewhat surprised. "Are you speaking for your love rival?"

Jasper laughed. "No, I'm just stating facts. What is right is right, and what is wrong is wrong. Even if he is my love rival, I wouldn't preach what is wrong."

Alyssa was moved. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pecked his lips.

Jameson would never be as upright and open-minded as Jasper was.

"So, he had every right to hate. If it were me, I would have done what I could to come back and take revenge for my mother," Jasper said with gloomy eyes.

"However, this is not the reason for his downfall."

Alyssa still shook her head. "Plus, if he wanted revenge, he could get back at the Schmidt family alone.

Why is he targeting you, Jonah, and Miley? How could he not know Jeremy was my brother-in-law when he was in Kontina?

"He confidently said he likes me, but ruthlessly hurt the people I love behind my back. He conspired with Inigo to kill Jonah quietly on Shalland Island because Jonah didn't like him. He is suffering alone.

"Yet, he wants to drag everyone down with him. He would put anyone who didn't follow his way to death, even if they were the loved ones of the person he likes!

"How many bridges does he want to burn before he is satisfied? He is so selfish and ruthless!"

Jasper blinked, unsure of what to say. He felt petty cursing Jameson with Alyssa.

Alyssa was silent for a while. Then, she asked suddenly in confusion, "Back then, Jameson and his mother were alone in Kontina. Jameson was so young and far away from far with no one to help him.

How did he turn things around and grow his business this big?"

Jasper's eyes glistened. "Good question, Alyssa. I've been pondering about the same question, so I've been secretly investigating it." "Even you had your grandpa's full support to secure your position in the Beckett Group. There is no way Jameson didn't have someone to support him."

A doubtful glint appeared in Alyssa's gleaming eyes. "Someone of great position and power must be supporting him in Kontina. He must have used this person as a tool to deal with illegal and dangerous businesses. He might have even used him to get involved in drugs, control the elections, and remove everyone who stands in his way."

Jasper stared at Alyssa deeply. His heart quickened. He couldn't help but kiss her soft lips deeply.

Her analysis was exactly what he thought. They were two peas in a pod.

"Hmm." Alyssa gasped and finally pushed him away. "If we can find out who Jameson's backer is, we can overturn Jameson's hideout and get rid of him once and for all!"

Jasper swallowed hard as he felt a sudden surge of jealousy.

Alyssa was constantly thinking about getting rid of Jameson. He knew she was doing it for justice.

However, she thought so much about Jameson that she had no time to think about him.

Jasper laughed affectionately and pinched her waist. "It's getting late. Let's head to bed."

"Hmm… I feel fine." Alyssa slapped her round belly.

"Let's go canoeing?"

Alyssa's heart shuddered and moved coyly in his arms. "L-Let's go canoeing then."

Jasper was speechless. He wondered if Alyssa was tired of him. It appeared as if he needed to learn some new tricks.

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 1447-A helicopter exploded in the air in the countryside. It was a massive piece of news. Moreover, the residents nearby recorded the entire process and uploaded it online, causing a huge stir.

This was a negative incident. However, the police issued a notice through official channels claiming that internationally wanted criminals were trying to escape capture through the helicopter.

All six of them were found dead. When the news was released, the comments took a different turn.

Everyone in the country was thrilled and thought they deserved it.

David's forensics report came out and confirmed it was mechanical asphyxia. Plus, from the direction of the laceration and the wounds left from the struggle, he was murdered.

However, out of hundreds of inmates and police officers, no one found out who did it.

Perhaps someone was secretly obstructing the case investigation, hoping that the truth would never come to light.

All sorts of comments were flying through the internet about David's death.

One comment said, "What a relief! I was thinking about how to sentence him to death. Now, justice has been served! This is amazing!"

Another comment said, "This is letting that animal off too easily. He should suffer a few years in jail, not being allowed to eat every day and suffer a beating every day. He deserved to be tormented to death!"

One comment agreed, "Exactly! He died way too early. It's a shame that he hasn't tasted the bitterness of suffering!"

"It's a bigger shame that the victims did not witness David tried by the law. He hasn't suffered utter humiliation by the public. What a shame!"

However, it didn't matter what was said. No one was standing on David's side. Only a person out of his mind would do that.

The Schmidt Group had never publicly expressed their stance yet. They were so quiet as if they didn't know David.

Victor's son, whom he had spoiled for two decades died and suffered so much humiliation on the internet. Yet, he didn't dare utter a word, hoping that the citizens of this country would stop hounding on their family affairs.

However, David's funeral was done sloppily. No one else came to send their condolences except for his family. novelbin No one of status and power would come and pay their respects to a terrible animal like him. They would be too shameless if they did that.

Time passed, and it was finally two days before Sophia's trial.

In the morning, Alyssa visited Jasper's mother, Anne, with him.

In the quiet and solemn cemetery, desolation and sadness filled their hearts.

Alyssa placed her mother's favorite bouquet of lilies respectfully before the tombstone. An overwhelming sense of sadness overtook her. Her eyes reddened as she stood behind Jasper.

Jasper knelt on one knee and used a clean white handkerchief to delicately wipe the tombstone.

Alyssa noticed this tombstone was the cleanest and most well-kept in the entire cemetery. It was clear that Jasper visited her every year. He cared for this place day and night, ensuring his mother could rest in peace.

"Mom, I'm here to see you again."

Jasper was teary-eyed as his fingertips shakily grazed his mother's face in the photo. "However, it's different this time. I didn't come alone today. I have company.

"I remember you were always worried I would have no one with me when I was younger. You always worried I would be lonely. Mom, you don't need to worry now. I'm doing well. Since you left, I-I found my happiness once again."

He stood up, walked to Alyssa's side, and hugged her tightly by the shoulder. His lips curled into a bright smile. "Look, what do you think of her? I think she is beautiful, just like you."

"Y-You're exaggerating…"

Alyssa's cheeks blushed. She was more beautiful than any other woman in the world. She knitted her fair and delicate hands together, completely shy and reserved.

It was as if Jasper's mother was standing right in front of her.

"Mom, let me introduce you to her. Her name is Alyssa Taylor. She is the love of my life." Jasper choked as he shakily said the last word. "I don't want anything but her in this lifetime." "Jasper." Alyssa murmured, teary-eyed.

"I'm sure you're happy for me wherever you are now."

Suddenly, a delicate breeze lifted a strand of Alyssa's black hair hanging next to her beautiful face. It blew away the tears at the corner of her eyes like an invisible hand caressing her face gently.

Alyssa's face started beating wildly. Her eyes widened as she stared at the warm, smiling woman in the monochrome picture.

She wondered if it was Jasper's mother, answering Jasper silently.

She must have been watching over her son in heaven, protecting and blessing him.

"Auntie Anne, we will win this war. Please bless Jasper wherever you are in heaven."

After they finished, they both paid their respects before Anne's tombstone, hand in hand.

Jasper's eyes were filled with tears as he paid his respects to his late mother. His lips curled into a happy smile.

He was overjoyed to have brought Alyssa to finally see his mother.

Both of them stayed for a while. Alyssa wiped and cleaned the tombstone. Then, she was ready to leave peacefully.

Suddenly, unfamiliar footsteps inched closer to them.

"Jasper?"

However, the familiar voice was like a sharp ice pick that stabbed Jasper's back.

Alyssa turned back before he did to look. Her pupils dilated as Jasper's grip, already tight, tightened even more.

Javier stood tall in a black suit a few steps away. Rory and four bodyguards were right behind him.

The resounding presence of the Beckett Group's chairman shattered the serenity of the cemetery.

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 1448-Alyssa watched as the glum look on Jasper's face set in like the moon setting into the vast sea.

Jasper's shoulders trembled slightly underneath his suit. His eyes were bloodshot. He turned into a volcano as an overwhelming wave of emotions erupted in him.

Alyssa squeezed his hand, trying to hint for him to maintain his composure.

She wasn't a goody-two-shoes who would buy into the "a harmonious family would prosper" gimmick.

She wanted to help Jasper by giving Javier a piece of her mind.

However, fighting in front of Jasper's mother's tombstone didn't seem too respectful of her. Jasper's mother would be rolling in her grave in anger if she saw it.

"I didn't expect you to visit your mother today. You should have told me earlier, and we could have come together."

Javier carried the authority of a father, but his tone remained gentle. "I think your mother would have loved it."

"My mother would have loved it?" Jasper stared at him coldly. Hatred pierced through his voice. "You've got to be kidding me, Mr. Javier."

"What are you saying, Jasper?" Javier frowned deeply.

"As a husband, you've never cared about her depression when she was alive. When she passed, you didn't arrange for anyone to tidy her tombstone up even once. For the past 20 years, there have been more gardeners here than the number of times you've visited Mom. Now, you're talking nonsense about her wanting to see you."

Jasper laughed and shook his head. Anger burned in his heart. "Mr. Javier, my mom had slept by your bedside for years and had loved you. But there has to be a limit to however shameless you want to be."

Alyssa was shocked as she nervously pursed her lips.

She wondered if they would start fighting physically, whether it was necessary to step in to get Jasper to step down.

However, she agreed with what Jasper said. She didn't want to step in. She wanted to scold Javier, for he was nothing but an obnoxious and shameless old man!

If they fought, so be it. She would have clocked those bodyguards one by one.

Javier was outraged. Anger reddened his stiffened face.

Rory and the bodyguards kept their mouths shut, terrified for Jasper.

"Rory, give me the flowers." There were outsiders around, so Javier didn't want to look bad. He held his anger in and instructed Rory coldly.

"Yes, Mr. Javier." Rory quickly brought a bouquet of white chrysanthemums to Javier respectfully.

He took it with a lowered gaze and walked to the tombstone glumly.

Everyone gasped in shock.

"Mr. Javier, my mother and I do not welcome you."

As he said it, he went forward and stomped on the white chrysanthemums.

"Pretense… Are you saying that I'm putting on a show?"

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 1449-It was as if something was stuck in Javier's throat as he pointed at his son's face. His high and mighty demeanor was slowly compromised. "Jasper, you ungrateful bastard!

"If I was putting on a show, I wouldn't have gone against the majority and suffered the pressure to bring you and your mother back to the Beckett Group from the slums.

"If it weren't for me, both of you wouldn't have died on the smelly and nasty streets. Have you forgotten how sick your mother was? She didn't have a single dime on her to go to the hospital for treatment.

"She had no way to support you. If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have recovered from her sickness.

How on Earth would you have lived the cushy life you have now?"

Alyssa watched as Jasper, feeling wronged, received a baseless accusation. As a bystander, her heart burned with fire. She felt her blood boiling in her as her fists clenched.

Until now, Javier wasn't speaking to Jasper as a husband or a father. He was still on his high horse, thinking he offered charity to Jasper and his mother, a holier-than-thou capitalist.

Everything he said sounded like it made sense. However, everything was hinted toward one thing— Jasper and his mother were not from the world as he was.

He was the one who had been kind and gracious enough to help them escape from the cheap, dirty, and smelly slum. With a move of his finger, they could enter his world.

That ingrained sense of arrogance and superiority was more humiliating and angering than profanities and insults.

"No matter what, I have raised you to who you are today. You wouldn't be where you are today without me. Would you even have the privilege to be so rude and rebellious to me?" Javier ran his mouth like a machine gun, firing at Jasper with bloodshot eyes.

"If I was a girl and not a boy, would you have found ways to bring me back to the Beckett family? If it weren't for this, would you ever remember a pitiful woman who was carrying your baby wandering with no power or status to her name? Would you even remember she who didn't have a roof over her head or food on the table?"

Jasper's lips curled into a sharp smile. He was terrifyingly cold as he continued to mock Javier, "I have to thank Grandpa for his nurture and care and my mother's strong body for who I am today."

"You rebellious bastard! You have crossed the line!"

Javier's noble demeanor had utterly crumbled. Outraged, he raised his hand and was about to slap novelbin Jasper across his face.

Jasper was unfazed. His terrifyingly glistening eyes carried an intimidating sense of hatred.

Everyone was flabbergasted.

Javier only felt the pain on his wrist slightly after. His brows knitted tightly.

Alyssa swiftly dodged and stood right in front of Jasper. She aggressively grabbed Javier's wrist and continued to tighten her grip as if she was about to break his wrist.

"Mr. Javier!"

Rory and the four bodyguards were pale from terror. They were about to stop Alyssa.

However, Alyssa's face was icy. She didn't even blink and had no intention of letting go.

Alyssa was no longer as frail and meek as she always was. Like a porcupine, her quills stood up, protecting the man he loved.

A cold glint appeared in Alyssa's eyes. "I may be an outsider to you, but I am Jasper's wife."

Wife?

Jasper's eyes dilated as his heart palpitated wildly.

Were his ears playing tricks on him?

Did Alyssa just say she was Jasper's wife?

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 1450-"If you try to lay your hand on Jasper, I'll be the first to stop you. You might not care for him, but I do.

Even if I'm not around…" Alyssa's sad eyes looked at Jasper's mother's tombstone. "Don't you think Auntie Anne would care? As the noble, high, and mighty chairman of the Beckett Group, don't you think it's distasteful to get physical in front of the deceased?"

Alyssa had just uttered the deadliest and harshest words in the most nonchalant tone.

The look in Javier's eyes sank. He clenched his jaw so tightly that it was about to break open.

"Mr. Javier, I think it's not a great day for you to pay your respects to Auntie Anne today. We appreciate the gesture. I'm sure Auntie Anne feels the same way. I think it's best if you leave." Rory and the bodyguards sighed in relief as Alyssa loosened her grip.

Javier's face was as pale as a ghost. Yet, he gritted his teeth and was unwilling to give up. "I've canceled everything today to come and see her.

"I'll leave after I see her for a while."

"You wish!" Jasper suddenly pulled Alyssa behind him.

Javier and Jasper fell into a tense confrontation again. "You were fooling around, and you even married Sophia when you already had my mother. Plus, you condoned that unscrupulous and vicious woman to mistreat my mother. If you didn't do these things, none of this would have happened! My mother wouldn't have died!"

"You." Javier was consumed by anger. His expression darkened.

"The worst five years of her life weren't starving in poverty or getting really sick. It was her being a trophy by your side that couldn't be seen by anyone. You took advantage of her and caused her to die!"

"Nonsense!"

Javier was breathing heavily from his anger. "Anne died of her depression! She couldn't take the pain and took her life to relieve herself of it! Her death had nothing to do with me!"

Relieve. Javier had actually thought Anne was relieving herself from the pain.

Alyssa frowned deeply. She shook her head, angry and helpless.

Until now, Javier had never understood the condition of Jasper's mother's heart, let alone everything Sophia had done.

Perhaps he had loved Anne.

However, his love for himself was far beyond his love for Anne.

"My mother is not a victim who used death to get a sense of relief. She died because Sophia."

"Jasper! Enough!"

Alyssa grabbed Jasper's arm and stopped him in time. Jasper, who was consumed by anger, regained his senses and shut his mouth.

Rory was dumbfounded by what had happened.

Jasper had never even respected Javier when his temper acted up. Alyssa managed to tame Jasper with just a word from her.

There must have been something different about Alyssa.

She had Jasper under her control.

Rory tentatively said, "Mr. Javier, let me prepare a new bouquet and send it to Ms. Bartley."

"What did Jasper mean when he said that? Is he implying that… Sophia killed Anne?"
