Ch. 411..420

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 411-With such a straightforward question, all eyes turned to Bryan.

A chill went down his spine as he met Alyssa’s sharp gaze. However, he kept his composure and calmed down.

He said, “This was already a public secret within our circle. The Beckett Group Beckett.

“But in the end, you were one step ahead of his game, so you took over the right to host the wedding.

corner, it’s only natural that she’d switch to the Beckett Group, isn’t it?” Bryan made it sound like it made perfect sense.

Alyssa smiled, her captivating eyes narrowed slightly. She leaned back comfortably and smirked.

“Good point, Bryan. But you’ve overlooked one thing-until now, the Beckett signed any official contract,” stated Alyssa, Everyone was appalled. “What? It’s been a week, and the contract hasn’t been signed?” Bryan remained calm, but his expression gradually stiffened.

if it was a suggests that things haven’t progressed. This means we still have a chance.” already signed, can the Beckett Group refrain from making a bl announcement? Their silence Alyssa tiptoed and leisurely spun in her leather chair. ‘I’m more stubborn than a mule. I won’t give up until the very last moment.

intend to catch the Beckett Group off guard again.” “Ms. Alyssa, you’re truly remarkable! Everyone cheered for Alyssa for her bold statement.

Bryan could only force a smile and went along with the rest.

must be quite unhappy with us by now. If you were to go talk to her again, won’t you end up being disappointed?” “Yeah… there are certain things that just can’t be forced.” A smile beamed on Alyssa’s lustrous lips. Her eyes were glistening with an obsidian-like glow. “In life, After the meeting adjourned, the project team members went their separate ways. Only Alyssa and Sean remained in the spacious meeting room.

Alyssa took her coffee from Sean. She stood before the full-length window and gazed at the magnificent. scenery of Solana City. She savored her coffee with composure.

“Ms. Alyssa, you said you had a new plan… were you trying to bait someone?” Sean asked tentatively as he stood beside her.

“Yes, and I did manage to bait someone.” Excitement surged from Sean’s widened eyes. “Really? Who is it?” “But it’s just a suspicion. I can’t confirm because I don’t have proof.” Alyssa’s eyes dimmed. “Sean, go and tail Bryan after you get off work today.

Find out who he’s meeting and if there is any unusual behavior from him. Report back to me promptly.” וWhen Lauren woke up the following day, she was escorted home by Jasper.

Although Sophia wasn’t happy with it, she dared not say anything in front of Javier, given Jasper’s imposing presence.

As for Betty, she didn’t even dare to utter a single word. After all, she was responsible for pranking Lauren.

Sophia wouldn’t tell her off even if she knew about it, but that wouldn’t be the case for Javier. He would have scolded Betty.

In the evening, Lauren lay in bed with a sullen expression, clutching the teddy bear she had lost and then recovered the previous night.

She made an effort to piece together the events of the previous night, feeling her heart race as her cheeks gradually flushed.

In fact, she had experienced a sort of blackout the previous night. She couldn’t recall any details of what had occurred or how she had made it back home.

All she could recollect was the passionate kiss that had met her lips, a tantalizing and lingering sensation that had occurred just before the lights had gone out. And that pair of fiery eyes that stared at her intimately.

Lauren took a deep breath and got up from the bed. She sat down at the table.

3/3 She took out her sketchbook and pencil. She closed her eyes for a few seconds before sketching on the paper.

After about ten minutes, a face with seatures bearing a mischievous charm akin to that of a handsome rogue began to take shape on the paper.

That touch of provocative arrogance was also captured in the drawing Lauren was in a daze as she stared at her work. She stroked the pair of eyes she drew lightly.

*Landon. He is so good-looking.” Lauren didn’t know that her good-looking Landon had already made his way into Seaview Manor. He was driving a bright red Ferrari.

“Who did you say has arrived?” Sophia was utterly astonished when she heard the housekeeper’s report. She was accompanying Javier to admire the autumn view in the backyard.

“Madam Sophia, Mr. Harper is here.”

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 412-Javier asked, “At this hour?” Javier lifted his wrist and looked at his watch. He furrowed his brows slightly.

“He should know Jasper isn’t home right now. Besides, it’s almost dinner time.

And for him to come now…” “Oh, Javier, why are you overthinking it? It’s rare for Mr. Harper to pay us a visit.

Maybe he’s here for Betty, ” said Sophia in a honeyed voice as she linked her arms with Javier.

“Sophia, what do you mean? Don’t tell me Landon and Betty… Javier was taken aback.

“You’re always so busy, and you don’t pay much attention to Betty. You don’t even know what’s going on in her mind.” “Betty has had her eye on Mr. Harper for quite some time,” said Sophia reproachfully as her slender fingers gently poked Javier’s chest.

at all?

Javier stared in astonishment. “Betty likes Landon? Why haven’t I noticed at “Oh, you know how girls are easily embarrassed. How can they just put it straight like that?” replied Sophia.

Sophia also had an embarrassed look on her face. It was as if she was shy on her daughter’s behalf.

“This isn’t a trivial matter. Betty’s marriage is of great importance to our Beckett Group.” “Betty is my first daughter, the apple of my eye. Her marriage must be carefully planned. She must be with someone of the same status.

“We have to choose the best among the successful young men in Solana City,” remarked Javier with a serious expression.

“The Harper family is one of the most prestigious families in Solana City.

Besides, Mr. Harper is his grandfather’s only grandson.

“With Preston Harper still not having any kids as he gets on his years, in the future, won’t the entire Harper Group eventually end up in Mr. Harper’s hands?” Sophia’s schemes were as bright as day. “Moreover, Mr. Harper is so close with Jasper. If Betty is married into the Harper family, the bond between the two families will be greater. What a wonderful union it will be.” Javier’s creased eyebrows relaxed. He was very much convinced by Sophia.

Landon didn’t have a good reputation in Solana City.

But it was normal for him, as someone born with a silver spoon, to seek new and thrilling experiences. After all, he was pampered, and all his materialistic wants had been fulfilled since childhood.

Javier used to be reckless when he was young as well. However, he naturally settled down as he matured when he had enough of the thrills and excitement.

Besides, Landon’s social status would make him a suitable match for Betty. If he still had the desire to tt family. fool around after they got married, he would have to rein it in with pressure from the Beckett At this moment, Landon was already making himself comfortable in the mansion’s living room.

He had often been to Seaview Manor to play with Jasper since he was a child.

So, he felt just as comfortable here as he did at his home.

He didn’t even need the housekeepers to get him tea. He did it himself.

“Landon, what brings you here today?” Javier and Sophia came over to greet him. Usually, Javier wouldn’t show himself. But after hearing what Sophia said earlier, he thought he should show up and meet Landon in person.

“Just a small matter. It was a last-minute decision. I hope I’m not causing any inconvenience, Uncle Javier.” Anyone could see how close Landon was with Javier as he addressed him as Uncle Javier.

“We’re just about to have dinner. You can stay and have dinner with us.” Sophia put forward her earnest invitation.

“No need for that.” Landon casually declined her invitation. “Is Ms. Betty home?

I’d like to have a chat with her in private.” Javier and Sophia exchanged looks. Both had an intrigued expression on their faces.

When Betty knew Landon was here, she was so excited to the point that she could somersault down to see him right away.

However, her mother’s words crossed her mind.

Sophia had said that a woman would lose her value if she didn’t know how to maintain her composure and distance herself from a man. Hence, Betty tried hard to hold her urges in.

Little did she expect Landon to ask for her when she wasn’t being initiative.

Betty’s heart raced as she walked into the room.

4- Warner are you here to see me?” “Yeah,” replied Landon. He casually sipped his tea.

“What’s the matter?”. Betty sat down opposite him in a coy mannier, looking rather shy.

“Don’t you have anything to say regarding what happened at ACE last night?” Landon stared at her coldly. He didn’t want to beat around the bush and got straight to the point.

Betty suddenly felt anxious. “Last night… what happened?” “Lauren rarely leaves the house, so how can her teddy bear end up at ACE?” Landon forcefully set his teacup down and glared icily at Betty. “Betty, there’s a limit to making fun of people. You crossed that line with your actions last night.” Betty’s face turned pale in an instant. Her heart raced as though it might burst from her chest.

“Mr. Harper, I think this is a misunderstanding… Betty sobbed as tears trickled down her red-rimmed I eyes. She was doing her utmost to convey her sense of being wrongfully accused.

“Lauren didn’t even shed a tear after you pranked her last night. How could you have the audacity to cry?” Landon no longer bothered to look at her. It was as if the sight before him pained his eyes. “I came to Inform you about two things.

“Firstly, don’t you dare bully Lauren again. From now on, I’ll be looking out for her. Before you even lay a finger on her, think about who’s backing her up.

“Secondly, leave my sister alone. She’s still innocent, and I don’t want you to corrupt her.” Having said all that, he rose, his tall and imposing figure leaving without a backward glance.

Betty stared blankly at the door, slammed shut. She sank from the sofa to the floor, as if all her life had been sucked out of her.

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 413-Landon was in no rush to go back after leaving the room. Instead, he wandered around aimlessly in the Beckett family’s mansion.

In truth, he was strolling aimlessly, hoping to run into someone special. His heart yearned for that petite lady who always appeared downtrodden, her head hanging low.

He wasn’t exactly a saint, but his heart always had a soft spot for that delicate and seemingly forlorn young lady.

“Mr. Harper? Why are you here?” Rosie asked in astonishment as she unexpectedly ran into him.

“Uh… Uh… I… Landon looked sheepish and couldn’t find the right words to say after stammering for a while. Finally, he gathered his courage and mumbled, “Mrs. Rosie, where’s Lauren?” Rosie looked at him in bewilderment. She couldn’t associate Landon with Lauren in any possible way. There was no way that this could be happening.

“What are you trying to do? Mr. Harper, don’t you dare to scare her! She’s still young and doesn’t get t meet people often.” Landon arched his brow. “Mrs. Rosie, you’ve watched me and Jasper grow up.

Don’t you know what I’m like?” “You’re like this toward Jasper,” said Rosie as she gave him a thumbs-up, then she like this toward women.” She gave him a thumbs-down instead.

Landon clasped his hand to his forehead. “How kind of you to say that!” he thought.

ntinued, “But yo He tried hard to explain he wasn’t a playboy. Finally, Rosie reluctantly agreed to bring him to meet Lauren.

“I’ll be right at the door. If you have anything to say, make it quick. It wouldn’t be appropriate if someone saw us like this,” Rosie warned him sternly as she positioned herself by the door.

Landon was amused. “Mrs. Rosie, it’s not like we’re scheming on something.

You don’t have to be that anxious.” After saying that, Landon stepped into the room and closed the door.

Rosie was momentarily stunned, but as she regained her senses, her eyes widened in anger. “This brat! How dare he?” Landon was shocked as he stepped into Lauren’s room.

Compared to his sister’s luxurious room, Lauren’s room seemed exceptionally plain. There weren’t any decorations aside from the basic furnishing of the mansion. The room looked very empty.

Landon heard some noise from the bedroom, so he approached the room stealthily, slowing his pace.

The door was slightly ajar, so he entered the room quietly. He saw Lauren sitting in front of the spacious desk di scribbling something.

Landon’s eyes dimmed. He quietly approached her from behind as he craned his neck, trying to steal a glance at what she was scribbling.

Suddenly, Landon’s heart skipped a beat, and his pupils contracted.

With her lips pressed together, Lauren was working earnestly on a portrait. It was a portrait of him.

“Phew… All done.” Lauren set down her brush. She smiled as she picked up the portrait, lost in selfadmiration.

“When do you plan to give it to me?” Startled, Lauren let out a scream and jumped up from the chair. It was already too late when she tried to cover up the painting.

Landon moved quickly, a sly smirk on his face as he snatched the portrait from her thin, fragile arms.

“Gi-Give it back to me!” With her cheeks flushed, Lauren stood on her tiptoes, trying to snatch it back from Landon.

His exceptionally tall and imposing figure was like a mountain she could never ascend.

In her embarrassment, she tugged on his tie while her other hand snaked around his waist, attempting to reach the portrait.

“Ugh! Let go! You’re going to strangle me to death!” Landon was running out of breath. He had no choice but to bend down and lift her onto the table to alleviate some of the suffocating/discomfort.

“Give it back to me! That’s my painting!” Lauren was reluctant to give up. Her eyes began to well up with tears.

“The person in the painting is me, though. In fact, you’re infringing on my portrait rights, aren’t you?” As soon as Landon locked eyes with her, his gaze turned intimate. “As compensation, how about you give Lauren was so embarrassed to the point that her cheeks were bright red. She tightened her grip on his tie as she struggled to get away.

Landon’s eyes widened as he stumbled forward, pressing Lauren beneath him.

Their lips were just an inch apart.

The kiss they shared last night crossed Landon’s mind again. He immediately felt a searing heat rushing to his head.

“Uh, it tickles.” Lauren turned away swiftly. His breath, tinged with a hint of tobacco, made her ticklish.

Her heart was pounding fast.

Landon’s vision blurred for a moment. Her body felt so soft, even softer than his branded mattress, making him reluctant to get up.

In the end, he successfully reined in his wild desires and straightened himself up. His breath was slightly ragged, and his eyes were glistening with emotion. 1 Despite being an adult, Lauren had a petite and fragile appearance, almost as if she had been bor underweight. As she curled up on the table, she appeared delicate and vulnerable.

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 414-Lauren extended her hand toward Landon, her face partially buried between her knees. “Give it back to me “I saved your teddy bear last night. Can’t you give me this painting in return?” Landon leaned against the desk, his well-built arms supporting him. “I really like this painting. Will you give it to me, please?” “I’ve already prepared your pre-present,” Lauren uttered timidly, her toes curling inward.

“Where is it?” Landon’s eyes lit up in excitement.

After around ten minutes, Landon was back in his Ferrari.

He e couldn’t stop smiling from the immense, unprecedented satisfaction. He held a cake box in his left hand and the neatly rolled portrait from earlier in his right hand.

He had been secretly hoping he could get a painting from Lauren when he saw the painting she gifted to Newton on his birthday.

A one-of-a-kind painting created just for him. He couldn’t believe that his dream came true. And that joy and satisfaction he felt was indescribable.

Pleased, Landon kept the portrait away carefully. He hastily opened the cake box. Inside was a plain blueberry mousse cake. It looked a bit hideous.

Nonetheless, he picked up some cream with his fingertip and put it into his mouth, savoring it slowly as he sucked on his finger, Landon furrowed his brows. He chewed it thoroughly. He couldn’t help but wonder why it tasted a little sour.

With a face mask on, Alyssa was still engrossed in playing games at her study table. It was already midnight, yet she had not gone to bed.

In fact, she was already tired. It was just that she was worried about Sean.

He still hadn’t returned after carrying out her order to stalk Bryan. So, she played some games to keep herself awake while waiting for Sean’s news.

ho had received emails sent by the official team.

They had invited her, the Queen of Killers in the international server, to participate in the professional tournament more than once. However, she refused their offer every single time.

She was simply playing for enjoyment, not wanting to mix her amusement with money-making, especially since she was already well-off.

A notification tone chimed. Jameson was online.

Rose: ‘Do you want to play a game together?” Lucifer: “Okay. Bring me in.” He connected to her voice chat, and his clear, melodious voice resonated in the study room.

“Good evening, Ms. Lucifer.” “Good evening, Mr. Rose,” said Alyssa jokingly, “What kind of rose are you?” you,” said Jameson as he smiled gently.

“Well, that’s because I live by a mantra.” “What do you mean?” “Haters gonna hate, players gonna play, so I’m just gonna shake it off.” Jameson couldn’t help but let out a chuckle. He paused for a while, then said, “It’s fine. This is a competition between me and the Beckett Group. Although it’s not a big deal, getting people from the Schmidt Group involved is inappropriate.

Thanks for your kind concern,” Alyssa replied, politely declining his offer.

of my own will, not on behalf of the Schmidt Group,” said Jameson softly, with a tinge “I’m helping you out of my of concern in his voice.

Alyssa quirked a brow. “Don’t you believe in my abilities? Do you think I can’t handle this on my own?” “No,” said Jameson helplessly. He chuckled softly before adding, “I don’t want you to be that tired. Then you can spend more time playing games with me. You haven’t been online in days.” Alyssa was stunned. She blinked her eyes. Could he have been waiting for her to go online for these past few days?

returned from Kontina, leaving him with free time. Besides, he didn’t have any friends. So,

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 415-Sean was panting as he rushed back to Alyssa’s place, the chilly fall air clinging to him. His forehead glistened with sweat.

Alyssa didn’t immediately ask him about the outcome; instead, she strode to the coffee table and poured him a glass of warm water.

She handed the glass over to him and said, “Take a rest first and have some warm water. It’s cold outside, isn’t it?” As Sean took the glass, the tips of his chilly fingers brushed against Alyssa’s. It felt warm, and his heart skipped a beat.

“Have a seat and relax.” Alyssa turned and sat on the couch. She had her legs crossed beneath her nightgown and her peach- colored velvet slippers perched on the tips of her toes.

Sean’s face was slightly flushed as he held the glass awkwardly in his hands.

He took a moment to regulate his breathing before speaking, “Ms. Alyssa, everything turned out just as you expected. Bryan and Abigail knew each other, and they’re much more than just friends!” Alyssa smiled. “Even if I knew what’s going on, things could only be done with your help, right?” Sean handed his phone to her as he smiled shyly.

She took the phone and lowered her head, scrolling through the pictures with a reserved expression.

The pictures showed Bryan and Abigail on a date at a café. Bryan was caressing Abigail’s face, their hands intertwined. They gazed at each other lovingly, deeply immersed in their own world.

“Ms. Alyssa, this is solid proof! We can question Bryan now!” Sean was brimming with excitement, convinced they had a strong lead.

“This is far from enough.” Alyssa put down the phone calmly.

“Is this not enough?” Sean widened his eyes.

He continued, “I’ve got my hands on their hotel room reservation records for the past two months, which showed that they met at least twice in one week.

They’ve been in close contact.

“And before these two months, there wasn’t a single interaction between them!

Isn’t this enough to prove Dean was the snitch?” ‘It is, but the evidence isn’t enough. You studied law. You should know that this is circumstantial evidence. It’s insufficient to convict Bryan.” Alyssa closed her eyes as she stretched out on the couch. “What if he claims they’re just a regular couple? What can you do about it?” Finally, Sean grasped Alyssa’s intentions.

She wasn’t just interested in uncovering the betrayer’s identity. She was determined to eliminate any potential threats.

She intended to make both the mastermind and the accomplices pay dearly for their actions!

With a grim expression, Sean remarked, “Then we’ll have to find evidence that he leaked confidential information.” “Bryan couldn’t resist leaking the information to Abigail as soon as I mentioned I had devised a new plan during the meeting. I can already anticipate his next moves.

“You don’t have to tail Bryan for now. Assign someone to shadow Abigail and Betty. Monitor their interactions.

“Also, dig a bit deeper into Abigail’s background. Who knows, we might uncover some other surprises..

‘Understood, Ms. Alyssa.” Suddenly, a rhythmic breathing filled the room.

Sean looked closely and realized that Alyssa had fallen asleep in an instant. Her lips were slightly parted, and her long lashes cast shadows beneath her eyes.

Her breathing carried an air of elegance.

It appeared that she was exhausted, her mind overwhelmed.

Sean’s eyes revealed concern and distress as he knelt beside the couch on one knee. Initially, he extended his arms. He was tempted to scoop her up.

However, he restrained his impulse to touch her. Instead, he retrieved a blanket and carefully tucked her After all, he was i was asleep.

her secretary. It wouldn’t be appropriate for him to exploit the situation while she Furthermore, he held a steadfast belief that, apart from Alyssa’s father and brothers, her lover should be the only man who deserved to carry her in his arms.

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 416-t was midnight. Jasper sat by the window in his study room, pouring himself a glass of red wine.

The glass he was using at the moment was one of the presents Alyssa had given him.

It was a pair of Baroque-style crystal wine glasses. The clear clinking of these glasses indicated their topnotch craftsmanship and exquisite quality.

As he sipped the wine, he couldn’t help but wonder if when she had gifted him these glasses, she had thought of spending a lifetime together with him.

Jasper frowned. The wine in his mouth suddenly tasted even more bitter than a bitter gourd.

Right at that moment, a knock sounded at his door. Xavier entered the room with several documents.

“Mr. Beckett, I’ve completed the investigation on Abigail, just as you instructed.

Rest assured, I even found information on where her ancestors are buried!

Absolutely no oversight!” Xavier declared confidently.

Previously, Jasper hadn’t left a good impression on Alyssa because of Xavier.

This time, he was particularly diligent in gathering information, hoping to make up for his mistake.

“Alright, Scan a copy of it and send it to the president of the Taylor Group.” In the illumination of the light, Jasper held a magnificent glass in his hand, twirling it around with great fascination.

Xavier was momentarily stunned. “Huh? Do I send it to Mr. Jonah?” As Jasper shot him a frosty glare, he immediately laughed sheepishly. “Ah, it’s Madam Alice.” “Send it via email,” ordered Jasper, then he added after a pause, “Send it anonymously.” “Huh? Why, though?” Xavier blurted out without pausing to reconsider his words.

Jasper pursed his lips. “I’m worried that she might simply delete it without looking at it if she sees the sender is from the Beckett Group.

Xavier wondered if it was really necessary to be this discreet.

Jasper’s phone buzzed on the coffee table. He picked it up and saw that it was a video call from Landon.

Jasper was puzzled as he answered the call. “What are you up to now?” On the screen, Landon’s face was as pale as a sheet. He lay on a white bed with a blue and white wall “Jasper… I think I’m about to die…” “My condolences.” Jasper didn’t even bat an eye.

“Jasper your sister, Lauren… is she lethal?” With a needle inserted in it, Landon waved his left hand at his size, he was curled up into Jasper. Desi a ball due to the intense pain he was experiencing.

Landon explained further, saying, “Today, she gave me a blueberry cake, and I ate the whole thing. When I arrived home, I began vomiting and experiencing diarrhea immediately.

“I nearly vomited my guts out. I had to call an ambulance to take me to the hospital! The doctor said I had food poisoning from eating spoiled food.

“Damn it! I knew it tasted off from the first bite. It was so sour. And now…. Fuck!

The pain is back!” Xavier, who had been listening, turned around and burst into silent laughter, tears streaming down his face.

For those aware of Landon’s situation, it was clear that he had an upset stomach. For those unaware, it seemed like he was about to give birth.

Jasper pursed his lips, trying to contain his laughter. “Then why did you finish it when you knew something was off from the start?” “Lauren made it for me herself. How could I be so heartless to reject her kindness? Ugh! It’s so painful…” Landon continued to whine.

Indeed, even a tough guy couldn’t endure a bout of diarrhea! 1

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 417-After the last meeting, the team members regained their hope. The once disheartened team became motivated again.

Alyssa was an inspirational leader. Her employees weren’t just her staff. They were also her devoted fans, captivated by her dazzling personality.

Today, she was beaming with joy as she showed up for the regular meeting.

Whether it’s going to succeed-let’s put that aside first. At least it’s a good start.” The team members cheered, Bryan was the only one sitting at the far end. Although he had a delightful expression, his eyes showed no trace of joy.

confident that my latest proposal can outperform the Beckett Group. And once she reviews it, she’ll definitely be more pleased with it than the first version,” Alyssa declared confidently.

“Ms. Alyssa! You’ve got to show us!” “Of course, I’d like to show it to everyone right away. But given what happened last time, I have to be cautious.

“It’s not that I don’t trust you all, but a lot has been going on recently, and there are people out there watching us.

“As the general manager of KS World, I can’t afford to repeat mistakes. So, I’d appreciate everyone’s understanding.” Everyone understood Alyssa’s predicament. They could only wish for her to return with good news, as they were all eager to get to work.

In the evening, Alyssa was enjoying a meal at a restaurant while Sean worked on organizing documents in her office. Once he completed his task, he left the office and made a phone call.

As soon as he left, Bryan dashed into the General Manager’s office. Security wasn’t particularly tight tonight. He finally made it to Alyssa’s private work area.

Although he knew there were surveillance cameras all around that captured his every move, he still took If he couldn’t get his hands on the latest proposal and Alyssa really did manage Bryan was completely blinded by love. He was obsessed with Abigail.

Apart from loving her, he was determined to full her desires. He would go to great her wants.

all lengths to satisfy Bryan meticulously searched high and low in Alyssa’s office with his phone’s flashlight.

He was positive that the proposal was still in her office. After all, Alyssa was still in the hotel, and Sean hadn’t left with a bag earlier. The proposal hadn’t been taken away yet.

He was sweating profusely as he frantically rummaged through the drawers and cabinets. Finally, he pulled out the proposal from the bottom of a pile of documents.

“Yes… Yes!” Bryan held the proposal in both hands, his excitement bringing tears to his eyes.

He muttered to himself,” Abby… I’ve avenged you. I’ve finally avenged you!” Suddenly, all the lights in the office came on with a click. The next second, Sean led a group of bodyguards in, surrounding Bryan.

Bryan found himself utterly stunned before the assembled crowd. Without a place to retreat, he could only stand in the same spot, wearing a sheepish expression, the proposal still in his grasp.

He knew he would get caught, but he hadn’t expected it to happen so At this moment, the bodyguards lined up on two sides, forming a path in between.

Alyssa, dressed in a sleek black suit, stepped into the office with a determined stride. Her black velvet shoes with red outsoles and her alluring eyes emphasized her fierce and commanding presence.

Her intimidating demeanor resembled that of a high-ranking officer from the movies.

Bryan was shivering in fear as he watched Alyssa approach him. He would be lying if he said he wasn’t scared.

“Bryan, are you aware that stealing confidential information is also considered theft? With just those few sheets of paper in your hands, I can ensure you spend your entire life in jail and seize your entire fortune.” Sean continued as he frowned, with a cold glint in his eyes, ‘Causing significant losses to the rightful owner of confidential commercial information is punishable by imprisonment for up to three years or

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 418-Bryan’s eyes were nearly popping out of their sockets. He staggered one step backward, almost losing his balance.

“Do you still have anything to say now, given the multitude of witnesses and concrete evidence?” Sean was already considering what punishments Bryan should suffer.

When he thought about how much Alyssa had endured in the past few days because of that wretched Bryan, his hatred for him ran so deep that his eyes turned red with loathing.

“I’ve got nothing to say.” Although Bryan was petrified, his love for Abigail surprisingly overcame the fear.

He had the courage and confidence to confront Alyssa and Sean.

He confessed, saying, “It was me who stole the proposal and sold it to the media. I did it all. I’m willing to accept the consequences.” But his defiant tone and the tension in his corded neck clearly contradicted what he had just said. Bryan was obviously defiant.

Sean clenched his jaw. Seeing how defiant Bryan was, he really wanted to punch him in the face.

“Except for Sean, the rest of you, please wait outside in the corridor,” said Alyssa assertively, breaking her silence.

The bodyguards immediately followed her orders and made their way out.

“Bryan, since we’ve come to this point, I might as well just tell you everything.” Alyssa strode over to the couch and took a seat. She casually grabbed a piece of chocolate from a plate. She opened the wrapper and popped it into her mouth.

“There was no such thing as a new proposal in the first place. And I never made “What … did you say?” Bryan was flabbergasted.

Alyssa chuckled. “If you don’t believe me, go ahead and flip the pages.” With trembling hands, he skimmed through the “proposal”. In an instant, he broke into a sweat. Apart from the first page containing some text, the rest were blank in the document!

Moreover, his testimony had been recorded by Sean with a recorder earlier on qualified as witnesses.

Bryan had fallen for Alyssa’s trap. She tricked him!

“Alyssa Taylor, how do you know it was me?” At this point, Bryan finally revealed his true colors. He questioned her directly, demanding an explanation.

“It’s impossible for outsiders to obtain information from KS Hotel-unless one of us is a mole. That’s the only scenario in which outsiders might be able to take advantage of us.” Alyssa chewed on the chocolate slowly, then said, “After the incident, I knew there was a traitor among us. So, I secretly monitored each of you.

“However, you were extremely cautious and composed. You even refrained from getting in touch with Abigail.

“If it weren’t for me baiting you into taking this risk, you might have escaped unnoticed. It wasn’t easy for me to pinpoint your weakness.” *Do… Do you know Abby? How did you find out about her?” Bryan’s heart was solely focused on his girlfriend. He seemed to care little about his current predicament.

“Hey, don’t you forget who Ms. Alyssa is, Sean sneered at Bryan’s dumb question.

Bryan’s shoulders slumped dejectedly.

How could he possibly keep Abby hidden from Alyssa, with her wealth and prestigious background?

His adversary was too powerful, to the point of being disheartening.

“Bryan, you’ve worked at KS World for almost ten years. During this time, you’ve organized countless high- quality events.

“You’re definitely one with talent. Initially, I had plans to promote you to event manager,” said Alyssa. Then, she heaved a sigh of regret.

Bryan was taken aback.

“All because of your so-called love, you’ve thrown away your promising future, even risking imprisonment. Do you truly believe it’s worth it?” “Of course! I love her, and I’d do anything for her!” In an instant, Bryan’s expression morphed into one of ferocity. His eyes took on a hysterical gleam as he Alyssa didn’t even flinch and maintained her composure. It was Sean who was startled. He instinctively. shielded her behind his back, guarding her.

“Alyssa Taylor! Stop pretending!” Bryan glared at Alyssa’s charming face as he lashed out at her for the sake of his lover. “I don’t give a damn about the promotion! I did all of this to avenge Abby!

“It’s all because of you that Abby’s father ended up in jail. You’ve ruined her life!

“You’re a heartless capitalist! Losing just one partnership is too lenient a punishment for you-it’s not even a big deal! I find you utterly despicable!”

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 419-Bryan was s cursing outrageously at Alyssa, as if she had killed his mother, bullied his wife, and desecrated his ancestors’ graves.

Sean was seething with anger upon hearing those words. However, Alyssa remained unfazed. Instead, she smiled and said, “Huh, this is quite interesting.” “What did you say?” Bryan suddenly became flustered.

“I said, Abigail is quite interesting.” Alyssa reached greedily for another piece of chocolate.

Seeing her indulging in sweets, Sean couldn’t help but smile.

“You’ve only known Abigail for two months, and she has managed to outmaneuver you. You’re even willing to sacrifice your future and challenge the conglomerate. Tsk, Ms. Grant is really something.” “Alyssa, you’re in no position to mock her! You’re just an unscrupulous executive who abuses her power! If it weren’t for you, Abigail could have had a good life as the heiress of the Grant family-you’ve ruined her life!

Bryan’s emotions spiraled out of control as he bellowed, ‘Corrupt conglomerates like you are the bane of society!

Sean couldn’t understand why Alyssa didn’t immediately hand him over to the police. Instead, she was here trying to talk sense into this love-struck lunatic.

“Well, I don’t mind if you curse at me. After all, you can’t control what others say.

My father has endured such criticisms, and he’s been the target of countless assassination attempts, all because he’s wealthy and influential.” Alyssa’s glare was as cold as ice. “But you sabotaged Taylor Group’s business, so don’t blame me for being ruthless. After all, this is my nature.

*Those who align with me prosper; those who oppose me perish. And those who stand in opposition or sabotage me have never met a favorable end.” Bryan shuddered as his suppressed fear resurfaced. Alyssa’s imposing presence was overwhelming.

“I understand that you really want to understand what’s going on at this point.

So, I might as well tell you.

Abigail never loved you. She was only with you because you’re from KS World.

She wanted to use you.

“You’re spitting nonsense! Absolute nonsense! You won’t succeed in driving us apart with these lies!” +15 BONUS Bryan was profoundly provoked by Alyssa’s words. He roared, “I made mistakes because I wanted to seek justice for Abigail. Don’t you dare besmirch her name or defame her!” Alyssa peered at him indifferently as she instructed Sean to turn on the television.

Numerous explicit photos were displayed on the screen, and the individuals featured in these images were none other than Bryan’s cherished girlfriend, Abigail, and Matthew Farley from E-News Daily!

Sean was taken aback. Although he had investigated Abigail, this wasn’t the material he had given Alyssa.

“This can’t be real. It can’t be! It must be photoshopped! It isn’t real!” Bryan clutched his head in despair as he saw Abigail, wholly undressed, in the arms of a middle-aged man. There was no sign of coercion. She was smiling so captivatingly, Bryan was in deep anguish.

Alyssa remained calm. After all, Liana’s nude photos had been more scandalous than this. Instead, it was Sean who was uncomfortable with these photos. He averted his gaze guiltily like a priest who had broken his vows.

*Their hotel records went back to a year ago. If you don’t believe me, I still have some videos of them going on dates. Would you like to have a look at them?” “No!” Bryan let out a devastated scream as he collapsed to the ground.

“Ms. Alyssa, how did you get these?” Sean leaned close to her ear and asked in a hushed tone.

Alyssa remained unfazed. “I’ll tell you later.” “Why… Why is she doing this to me… Tears trickled down Bryan’s face. He was in a complete daze.

“The information you provided not only allowed her to vent her anger but also provided her with the opportunity to gain tremendous benefits,” said Sean, glaring at him icily..

“Be-Benefits?” “Abigail manipulated you, and there were individuals behind her who compensated her for these actions.”

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 420-Alyssa tilted her head, propping her cheek with her hand. “Otherwise, how is it possible for her to approach you that quickly and immediately get to the heart of the matter, which is the contract?

“Do you really believe there’s no one pulling strings behind her?” Bryan burst into tears on the spot. He felt profound regret.

He regretted not because his future was ruined but because he had cherished Abigail as if she was precious when, in fact, she was a deceitful bitch!

“Ms. Alyssa, I’ll tell you everything I know!” Under Alyssa’s relentless questioning, Bryan spilled all the details about how Abigail had instructed him to steal confidential business information. Sean recorded everything he said.

Bryan was discreetly escorted to the police station. As Alyssa’s secretary and the legal advisor of KS World Hotel, Sean would officially charge Bryan with corporate theft.

Now that they had caught the fish, it was time to go after the shark.

Looking at her perfectly organized desk, Alyssa sighed. “Look at how professional this thief is. Look how neatly he placed everything back after rummaging through the documents. He’s quite something.” “Ms. Alyssa, you still haven’t told me.

“Jasper gave it to me.” Sean widened his eyes in astonishment, staring at the composed Alyssa in disbelief. “Jasper gave it to you? But he’s competing against KS World Hotel.

Why would he do that?” “Maybe he’s hesitant to let Sophia and Betty usurp his work, so he’s trying to get rid of Betty through my involvement.” The memory of Jasper toweling dry her hair that night suddenly crossed her mind. Her heart clenched.

She responded icily, “I’d sooner believe in the existence of ghosts in this world than believe he did it for my sake.” He had attempted to conceal his true intentions by sending her an anonymous email. She wondered if he belleved she couldn’t identify him. She wasn’t the queen of hackers for nothing.

“Ms. Alyssa, now that we’ve gotten rid of the mole, how do you intend to deal with Abigail?” Sean couldn’t help but worry. “Even if we have Bryan’s testimony, we can’t sue Abigail without solid evidence.” BONUS “Who said I’m going to sue her? The law can punish those who sin, but bitches like her will often escape the clutches of the law.” A cold glint shimmered in Alyssa’s eyes as she looked at the shirtless cheating couple. “Send those photos to Mrs. Farley.” “Ms. Alyssa, I’ve heard that Mrs. Farley is very skilled in martial arts,” said Sean in an intrigued manner.

“Isn’t that just perfect for her? It’s a free opportunity for her to practice her skills.” Alyssa discreetly extended her hand into Sean’s suit pocket to retrieve some chocolate.

“I’ve already gotten rid of her father. So, I don’t want to get directly involved with her. Otherwise, I’ll end up like those soap opera villains,” said Alyssa.

Out of the blue, Sean’s hand shot to his pocket and held her mischievous hand beneath the layers of his suit.

With a gentle tone, he advised, “Ms. Alyssa, it’s best not to eat too much. I’m concerned it could adversely affect your teeth.” Later that night, Jasper sat in his office, waiting for news from Xavier. He wasn’t in a rush to return to Seaview Manor, even though he had finished his work.

Finally, Xavier returned with a joyous expression.

“Mr. Beckett, Madam Alice has finally apprehended the traitor on their team!

They’ve already handed him over to the police.” “Alright,” Jasper responded calmly. He finally felt at ease now..

“We don’t know whether Madam Alice used the information you emailed her.” “It doesn’t matter if she didn’t.” Jasper’s eyes dimmed as he thought of that daring woman. “What I provided her was just icing on the cake. Even without the information I gave her, she would’ve handled this matter perfectly with her abilities.” He had underestimated his ex-wife. He realized he had thought of Alyssa as a dull woman who knew nothing except for cooking.

Now, it seemed like he had not only been blind but also incredibly foolish.
