Ch. 421..430

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 421-Jasper’s mistaken perception of Alyssa was unquestionably deserving of a spot in the hall of shame.

Right at that moment, the intercom rang. Jasper put the call on speaker. “What is it?” “Mr. Beckett, Ms. Alyssa’s secretary is here to see you. He didn’t have an appointment. Should we send him away?” Xavier rolled his eyes upon learning that Sean was here. He despised Sean very much, and their relationship resembled that of cats and dogs-in a perpetual state of conflict.

“Let him in,” ordered Jasper in a cold and composed tone.

The opportunity to meet the esteemed president of the Beckett Group was a rare privilege. However, Sean was connected to Alyssa, so Jasper was willing to make an exception.

A few minutes later, Sean entered the office with a stoic expression.

“Mr. Beckett, I came under Ms. Alyssa’s orders to deliver something to you,” said Sean as he placed at white box on Jasper’s desk.

“What’s inside?” Jasper’s gaze was fixed on the box.

“A bomb,” Sean replied indifferently.

Jasper pursed his lips, finding himself at a loss for words.

“Hey, do you think you’re funny?” Xavier couldn’t tolerate Sean at all. He was such a lackey for Alyssa. He retorted, “If it really is a bomb, do you think you can get past the security check at the Beckett Group’s entrance?” Sean sneered at him. “So why did Mr. Beckett ask in the first place? You just have to keep in mind that it’s nothing dangerous. Ms. Alyssa gave it to you, so just accept it.” Xavier gritted his teeth and thought to himself that the person in front of him might seem decent, but he could be quite an asshole when speaking.

Jasper pressed his lips together firmly as he opened the box with curiosity.

Indeed, there wasn’t anything dangerous in it. Instead, a mousse cake shaped like a dog’s head was in it. He smiled unwittingly.

“Did Ms. Alyssa make this herself?” He seemed composed, but a hint of joy in his eyes gave him away.

“Huh, how can you even entertain such a thought, Mr. Beckett? Ms. Alyssa told me to buy it for you. Do you still think you’re worthy of Ms. Alyssa’s cooking?” Sean mocked.

Jasper was dumbfounded, his jaw clenched tight.

“You’re speaking in vain. It’s not as if Ms. Alyssa never cooked for Mr. Beckett. If he wasn’t worthy, how could she have done so for three years?” Xavier snapped angrily. He could no longer hold back his anger.

Sean glanced at Jasper with disdain. “Alice might make dog food, but that’s not the case for Ms. Alyssa.” Xavier was utterly infuriated. He clenched his fists, ready to throw a punch at him. “How dare you!” “That’s enough, Xavier,” Jasper called a halt to his actions. Instead, he questioned Sean sternly, “Why did Alyssa send me this?” “Ms. Alyssa sent me here to tell you that she has already received the anonymous email you sent. This is what she gave you in return.” Jasper was stunned for a while. She already knew? So soon?

“Ms. Alyssa sent this cake to remind you not to treat her like a fool, She’s incredibly smart an extremely talented people around her. She doesn’t need a strategist who’s as dense as a dog.” and has Once Sean had finished his sentence, he didn’t even bother to excuse himself.

He simply turned and left the office right away.

“Strategist who’s as dumb as a dog. Was he talking about you?” Jasper thought that even if it had been that apparent, he did not need to point it out.

Xavier finally realized what he had blurted out when he saw Jasper’s grim expression. His face turned pale in an instant, and he timidly retreated to the corner of the wall.

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 422-In a certain hotel’s luxury suite, Abigail was riding through hell and high water to upgrade her way of life.

“Fuck! You’re so good, Daddy!” Abigail moaned, panting against Matthew Farley.

Glistening sweat rolled down their skin.

“That’s it, doll… I love it when you call me that. Come on, who’s your Daddy?” Matthew groaned, spouting out the entire spectrum of filth that was dirty talk.

All Abigail wanted was for him to finish, however. It wasn’t the first time she had slept with someone to get a promotion. This time, it was to become the general manager of the news department she was in.

Just when the finish line was in sight, the hotel room door was unexpectedly thrown open.

Abigail shrieked, quickly diving under the covers.

t Matthew, meanwhile, hurriedly pulled on his underwear. A chilling sensation shot down his spine like icy spikes as he turned to see who was at the door.

“H-Honey?” “So this is the whore you’ve been sleeping with, Matthew Farley? Aurora Cristole, Matthew’s wife, cried. She glared menacingly at Abigail, looking at her up and down.

Aurora was a wom was a woman of nearly five foot seven, while Abigail was not. The latter qualled when the woman shrugged off her coat, revealing broad shoulders that spoke of a diligent gym routine.

“Here I was, thinking she would be nice on the eyes. Where did you find this piece of roadkill?” Aurora then stormed over and dragged Abigail out of the bed by her hair, slapping her hard on the cheeks.

Abigail’s lip split open, and blood seeped out, staining the corners of her mouth.

“Ah! Help me, Mr. Farley!” Abigail screamed in pain.

But Matthew didn’t dare. He stayed on the floor, quaking in sheer fright.

Just then, Aurora’s assistant walked into the room, flanked by two burly guards.

“Breaking news! My boss’ husband, Director Matthew Farley, has been caught red-handed for sleeping with his subordinate! What a vixen! What a cheat! Don’t miss out on this news now!” The woman was live-streaming the scene..

Abigail and Matthew were utterly shocked.

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 423-The audio file was of Bryan confessing everything about Abigail’s plans-how she had seduced and tricked him into stealing KS World Hotel’s confidential information before giving it to her.

Abigail’s phone fell to the ground.

Her shaking grew more violent as she hugged herself tightly, feeling like her world had crumbl Betty took a hot bubble bath that night before commencing her skincare routine.

Ever since Landon gave her those warnings that day, all for Lauren’s sake, she hadn’t been able to sleep well.

It seemed as though a heavy burden rested upon her chest, steadily increasing in weight.

She truly didn’t understand how that idiotic sister of hers could have Alyssa Taylor back her up. Now, even Landon was standing up for her!

“That lying, thieving bitch!” Betty cried, using her lipstick to scrawl Lauren’s name on the mirror before furiously crossing it out. “Just you wait… when I’m Berenike’s CEO-” Her phone rang.

Betty scowled when she saw it was Zoe. Nonetheless, she adopted a sweet and gentle tone. “Hey, Zoe What’s up?” said Betty.

“Nothing good!” Zoe said anxiously. “Alyssa has found the mole in her company and already had him arrested by the police!” “What? How?” Betty cried, anxiety picking up in her chest. “W-What about Abigail? Is she safe?” “Didn’t you see the live stream catching her in bed with her boss, Matthew? The guy’s wife went to their hotel room in person to reveal them to the public. They didn’t even have time to put on any clothes!” Betty slowly sat back in her chair, mind filled with nothing but a loud buzzing noise Why did everything change so drastically and so fast? She had only taken a bubble bath.

“Hurry up and delete all your message history with Abigail before the police track you down!” Zoe reminded sternly.

“G-Got it!” Just then, another call came in from Betty’s secretary.

“One second, Zoe, I need to get this call.” Betty theh put Zoe on hold and answered her secretary’s incoming call. “Do you have any news about Abigail?” “Terrible news, Ms. Betty!” the girl cried over the phone. “Ms. Grant got into an accident near Petale Street! She’s being resuscitated in the hospital right as we speak.” “Hell yeah!” Betty yelled in relief.

“Huh?

Betty elaborated, “Alyssa Taylor just caught the mole. That means Abigail is right next on her list. If she gets her hands on Abigail, we’re doomed. This accident couldn’t have come at a better time!” Betty grinned and continued, “Hmph! That little whore’s done enough for us. The best thing she can do now is stay in that hospital and not cause us any trouble!” Alyssa naturally knew of Abigail’s accident minutes after it occurred. She was in the wine cellar Jonah had custom-built for her.

When Sean reported the news to her, she was picking a nightcap to enjoy before bed.

“Sources say she may have gotten distracted and lost focus when she ventured onto the road. Looks like being found sleeping with her boss really impacted her,” reported Sean.

Sean held onto the ladder while Alyssa perused the shelf labels up top.

“She wasn’t too bad looking. Pity she chose to sell herself out like some piece of meat.” There was not an ounce of pity in Alyssa’s eyes, though, as she said that.

Sean nodded. “Mrs. Farley really did a number on them.” “As she should. Worse would have awaited a third wheel like Abigail Grant if she’d gone unpunished.” Alyssa’s marriage had been ruined by a third wheel, too-Liana Gardner. Just because Jasper never loved or cared for her during their three years of marriage, it didn’t mean Liana’s stepping in was acceptable.

“Now that the two small fish have been taken care of, should we focus on the shark?” Sean asked.

“Not yet. We’ll let Betty enjoy her short-lived glee.” Alyssa slowly walked down the stairs.

Her phone then rang.

It was General Mutt himself.

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 424-“Can you help me decant this red wine?” Alyssa handed Sean a bottle while taking out her phone. Sean frowned slightly, knowing this was her way of getting him out so she could have privacy.

“I know what you’re thinking, Sean. I hate Jasper, but it’s not like we can’t still discuss business together.” Alyssa gently patted Sean’s shoulder.

She added, “I’ll need to continue being in contact with him now that I plan to expand KS Group in Solana City.” “There’s no need to be afraid. He’s not going to eat me. If he tries, Axel will wipe him out from the face of the Earth before he knows what hit him.” Sean wasn’t afraid. He would give his life to Alyssa if that were what it took to see her safe. He could never bear to see her getting hurt again.

He sighed and went to decant the bottle as told, leaving Alyssa alone in the wine cellar.

“Yes?” Alyssa answered the call, her tone cold and flat.

“Thank you for the cake. It was delicious.” Alyssa lowered her gaze. Jasper’s voice was magnetic, easily enchanting those attracted to him. Unfortunately for him, Alyssa was no longer under that spell.

She had always been disciplined, able to get over almost anything, even past loves.

“You’re welcome. I hope you’ve learned your lesson. Next time you think about shoving your nose into others’ business, think about the cake.” “I don’t think I was being a busybody.” Jasper said sternly. “Anything to do with you is always worth paying attention to.” Alyssa sneered. “It is worth paying attention to since you’ll be using us to remove your sister from the picture.

“After all, if Betty Beckett becomes your hotel’s CEO, your stepmother is sure to take action again. You wouldn’t want to see all your hopes and dreams fall apart.” Jasper’s brows knit together. Alyssa used to love and care for him when she was still Alice White.

That woman was gone now, and in her place was a tough, Iron-wrought maiden who planned their Sadly for Jasper, this woman today made it difficult for him to let go of her.

“Do vo you really think I’d care about Sophia and Betty, Alyssa? If they were capable of making it big for themselves, I wouldn’t have stayed where I am for so long.” sa’s knuckle cracking could be heard over the phone. “I suggest you stop getting involved with my affairs from now on, Jasper Beckett.

“This is the final warning I’ll give you on account of being your ex-wife. You will not want to make me go all out against you. Don’t blame me if that day comes to pass.” “Do whatever you please,” Jasper rasped. “I can’t speak much about other towns, but at least for Solana City, I’m in charge. No one will get in your way here

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 425-Alyssa frowned. Why did that sound so weird? It was like someone had flavored a floral perfume with old socks.

The atmosphere suddenly grew quiet. Neither spoke.

After some time, Jasper said, “That’s all I wanted to tell you. Goodnight.” “Hey!” But Jasper had already hung up.

“What the hell? Was he drunk or something?” Alyssa grumbled, shaking her head as she switched off her phone.

Meanwhile, Jasper was just realizing how clammy his hands were. His throat was burning dry, and his heart pounded wildly against his ribs like a caged animal.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. “Let what is a bane of my mind today pass on before the next light. May that which frequents my heart unchecked, leave Abigail remained in a state of coma after the car accident.

According to the doctor, she was near vegetative, with very little chance of reawakening. This came as wonderful news to Betty. She felt like Lady Luck was finally gracing her presence!

She couldn’t have anyone find out that she had persuaded Abigail to steal information from KS World Hotel.

would only speak to Jasper about working together. Apparently, her team was also scouting other hotels, too.

Betty went to visit Zoe at her place after lunch. She was panicking to no end.

However, Zoe appeared calm and composed, quietly sipping her tea.

“The only reason she chose KS World Hotel is because Alyssa fulfilled her condition of procuring one of the world’s top jewelry designers to help design for her wedding-all for that useless little brooch!

“My useless brother hasn’t been able to get Alexa onboard until today!” Betty cried, stomping her feet.

Zoe cocked her head. “All’s not lost.” “What… What do you menn, Zoe?” Betty asked in shock. “Did you manage to find one of Alexa’s designs?” “As far as I know, Alexa has never revealed herself to the public, always keeping a low profile. In fact, we don’t even know if she’s alive, and barely anyone has seen her actual products. So, why don’t you make a counterfeit one to give to found out!!” Betty gasped, eyes wide as plates.

“Tsk. How would anyone find out? You can’t even tell whether you’re bidding for a fake or genuine item during auctions, not to mention something as small as a bunch of shiny rocks. No one would be able to tell other than Alexa herself,” stated Zoe.

Then, Zoe leaned in and murmured, “Plus, I know a guy from Yoarkley. He’s a jewelry designer and was once Alexa’s disciple. I can have him make a she’ll definitely agree to work with you.” Betty was still feeling hesitant about this plan. But honestly, she barely had a choice anymore. She gritted her teeth and chose to give it a go. >

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 426-With Lyla’s birthday, Winston’s third wife, drawing near, Alyssa dedicated her nights to crafting a present In her room. It was a ring of pure gold, inlaid with natural aquamarine and diamonds.

Craftsmanship-wise, this was a piece of cake. Only the aquamarine heightened the cost of the ring. It was a true blue, straight-from-the-mine crystal that was still attached to its host rock when she got it.

Alyssa was always thorough and devoted when it came to the gifts she prepared for her loved ones.

She used to be the same toward Jasper, too. Sadly, he never appreciated it.

Just then, a video call request appeared on her phone. It was Sliva Nunez, her assistant from her jewelry design firm.

“There are very few reasons why you would call me at this hour,” Alyssa said while polishing the crystal.

Dow you remember Tyson Nolan?” Sliva asked.

“Yeah. Why? He apprenticed under me for three years before starting a jewelry line of his own. He’s a pretty gifted student.” “You won’t believe what happened. Someone contacted him asking to make a mimic of your jewelry design a couple of days ago.

“Isn’t that outrageous? You might want to consider showing yourself in public again, Alexa, before counterfeits start filling the market!” Alyssa laughed leisurely. “No reason to get worked up. It shows how irreplaceable I am. They couldn’t find me, so they had to counterfeit my work to satisfy their egos. No one else’s work sufficed.” “Tyson came to tell me this first thing after he failed to get in touch with you. He doesn’t want to take the job at all, saying it was an insult to your name, craft, and his loyalty to you, his teacher!” Alyssa was impressed.

Alyssa asked curiously, “Who is this person who’s commissioning the fake if you don’t mind me asking?

They must be truly influential to be able to find my disciple.

“I’m not sure how they got to know him, but he says they’re a Cyrrian from Solana City. A woman. The rich heiress kind, with the last name Harper.

Alyssa was caught off guard.

“Oh, she’s also that pianist, Christina Hammond’s student,” Sliva added.

Alyssa smirked when she realized what was going on.

As they continued to push the boundaries of her tolerance, Alyssa had no reservations about not holding back.

“Tell Tyler to proceed with the commission, Sliva. He has my permission,” Alyssa said slyly “What? Why?” “Tell him to give it his all, and don’t make me look bad.” Five days later, Jasper received word of alarming news after his staff meeting.

“What is this?” Jasper asked sternly as he gazed out of his office windows.

Xavier said, “I heard Ms. Betty got her hands on one of Alexa’s designs and Jasper sneered. “It’s definitely a counterfeit.” “That… I can’t be so sure. Shouldn’t Ms. Kingsley be able to identify a genuine product from a fake one? Xavier felt dejected.

He went on, saying. “If they sign the contract, the hotel will fall into Betty and that witch’s clutches. What if they exploit the situation and begin to oppress us?” “Alyssa should have heard the news by now,” Jasper murmured to himself.

Betty was a far more taxing opponent than Alyssa was. But that was the least of his concerns right now.

Xavier sighed. “Madam hasn’t been taking much action these days. She might have given up for all we know.” “Give up? Like hell, Jasper said slowly. “Alyssa would never give up so easily.

She’s very likely biding her time right now. I’m sure she’s already plotting her next move if she hasn’t already.” Betty Beckett’s intelligence paled in comparison to his beloved wife’s.

As soon as he thought that, he realized his mistake. She was now his ex-wife.

Jasper winced as his heart ached

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 427-That night, the Beckett family got together for their monthly dinner with Newton.

The atmosphere appeared cheerful and merry; even Betty helped serve her sister food and drink every now and then. It was as if they shared a close bond.

Lauren stayed silent beside Jasper, not uttering a word since the beginning of the evening.

Though she remained quiet, her determination was evident-every morsel of food Betty gave her was discreetly pushed to the side of the plate.

Javier set his silverware down. “Dad, Sophia and I have something important in the works. We’d like to seek your opinion on it now that we’ve taken the time to consider it.” “Why? If you two have decided, then there is no point in coming to me for approval.” Newton tucked into some corn.

Newton went on, saying, “I’m sure this wife of yours can give you all the opinions you need to hear.

Haven’t you relied on her all these years?” Sophia forced a smile, even though her chest was filled with hatred.

She despised this time of the month. Newton always had his way of pushing her buttons or digging a thorn in her side. It got so bad that she would get insomnia in anticipation of the monthly dinner.

She wondered when Newton would die.

Javier cleared his throat, clasping Sophia’s hand under the table. “Betty’s a young woman now, Dad. I think it’s time we consider her marriage prospects.” Betty blushed furiously in response.

Newton paused in his eating. “Marriage? Betty is only 25 years old. Why are you trying to marry her off so badly? I still want her and Lauren to be by my side for at least ten more years.

What the hell are you in a rush for?” Javier pursed his lips. He didn’t know what to say.

“The girls are beautiful and will no doubt stay so even until they’re 52. They will still have their fair share of suitors then!” Newton suddenly narrowed his eyes. “You’re not trying to form a marriage alliance, are you? The company isn’t having an emergency, is it?” “What? No, of course not, Dad,” Sophia hurriedly said.

“I’m telling you now, Javier Beckett, don’t you force my granddaughters into an arranged marriage even if it means the company is to go bankrupt tomorrow. Understood?” Newton ordered sternly.

“You’re overthinking, Grandpa.” Betty tugged on his arm, shaking her head.

“Mom and Dad are just helping me out. It’s nothing to do with the business. I’m the one who wants to marry.” “You?” Newton asked incredulously.

Betty nodded. A shy smile graced her face.

Newton couldn’t help but wonder where the time had gone. His granddaughter was all grown up.

“You misunderstood Javier, Dad. We’re only supporting Betty’s wishes. She already has someone in mind, “Sophia said, grinning.

“Oh? Who then?” “Landon, Dad,” Javier said. “The Harper boy. You’ve known him since he was a kid.” Jasper remained silent as he ate, though a note of apprehension appeared in his eyes.

“Landon? Landon Harper?” “Yes, Dad,” Sophia affirmed.

A loud clang suddenly interrupted the conversation. All eyes fell on Lauren, whose silverware had dropped onto the floor.

That was considered extremely rude in a household where manner and etiquette were everything.

“I-I’m so sorry!” Lauren cried, bending down to pick the cutlery up. However, Jasper beat her to it.

“It’s alright. I’ll get you a new set,” he said kindly.

“Thank you. Thank you, Jasper, Lauren murmured meekly.

Betty watched her sister, who had grown pale and stark, and grinned evilly.

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 428-“Watch your manners, Lauren! We’re having dinner with Grandpa here!” Sophia quipped.

“Alright, alright. That’s enough. It’s just a fork. No reason to get upset at the girl,” Newton retorted. Lauren was his favorite granddaughter, after all.

Sophia clenched her fists angrily under the table. Everything she did was wrong in the eyes of this old man!

“Grandpa, Mom, Dad… I’m done with my meal,” Lauren said softly, then hurriedly left the table.

Jasper’s eyes narrowed as he watched his sister leave, and certain thoughts appeared in his mind.

Betty’s gleeful mood had increased double fold.

She thought that Lauren didn’t have to endure such a situation. Lauren could have remained the family’s insignificant, almost invisible member for the rest of her life.

Regrettably, Lauren had chosen to attempt to seduce her man. That was why she felt the need to teach Lauren a lesson and assert her dominance in the situation.

‘But why Landon?” Newton asked with a frown. “Didn’t he like Alice?” Javier, Sophia, and Betty’s face turned an ugly shade of red.

Jasper coughed violently, having been drinking some water. His grip on the glass tightened.

“What are you saying, Grandpa? Why would Landon like Alyssa?” Betty huffed, her face reddened with anger.

“Of course he does. I may be 80, but my eyes and ears still function properly. I saw how devoted Landon was to Alice. He couldn’t keep his eyes or attention off of her during my birthday celebration. He’s a smart, keen boy, that one.” Newton then glanced at Jasper. “I even thought of marrying Alice to him at the time. They’d make the perfect pair. Plus, Landon would treat her like a queen, unlike some. She’d definitely have a happy married.

life ahead of her then.” Upon learning that Alyssa would spend the rest of her life happily with Landon, Jasper felt incredulous.

Jasper’s grip on his glass was slowly weakening, almost imperceptibly. He couldn’t help but sense that Newton was indirectly chastising him.

But Jasper couldn’t bear the thought of Landon marrying Alyssa. The man who lost his virginity at 16 and 1/2 “Am I still your granddaughter, Grandpa?” Betty cried. “I’m the one who likes Landon Harper right now, not Alyssa! Shouldn’t you be helping me instead?

Why would you want to match him to Alyssa Taylor?” “Does Landon feel the same way about you?” Newton asked.

“That… I…” Betty was stumped.

“I saw how he treated you the night of my birthday. You two didn’t even exchange a single word. He doesn’t care for you at all.” Betty gritted her teeth, unable to retort because she knew Newton was right.

Newton advised, “Just because you wouldn’t be forced into an arranged marriage doesn’t mean that you should force something that isn’t there. You’ll only end up wasting your time and embarrassing yourself.

Newton shook his head and continued, “Your personalities don’t match, either.

With Landon’s temper, you two wouldn’t have a day of peace.” Grandpa!” Betty whined, nearly crying in desperation.

*Don’t go asking Betty that, Dad.” Javier stepped in to help his daughter.

“Women tend to be shy.

“It’s not like Landon has no feelings for Betty, either. He came by the other day just to talk to Betty. Sophia and I both saw it with our own eyes.” Betty’s heart clenched, recalling how Landon had spoken to her that day. Tears pooled in her eyes.

So what if Landon hated her guts?

As long as she married him and became his wife, she was sure he’d eventually fall in love with her after spending time together!

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 429-“Oh?” Newton responded curiously, stroking his chin.

“Yeah, Dad,” Sophia piped up, “When has someone like Landon ever personally gone to see another woman?

“He clearly has Betty in his thoughts. He wouldn’t have come by otherwise.

Plus, Alyssa already has someone else.” 1 Jasper slowly turned his eyes to Sophia. He swallowed anxiously, as if trying to control a turbulent emotion.

Newton was surprised to hear this. “Alice has a boyfriend? Who is it?” “Victor Schmidt’s youngest, Jameson.” Sophia had gotten word of this from Liana herself. Even though there wasn’t much evidence that the two were dating, she might as well bring this up to stop the old man from interfering with their plans.

“Alyssa is not dating Jameson Schmidt,” Jasper finally spoke up, setting down his cutlery.

“But I heard they’ve already gone on several dates, like going to the flower gardens, orchestras…” “They are not dating.” Jasper’s gaze glinted with invisible knives. “Hopefully, Sophia remembers not to Start errant rumors for any vindictive reasons.

“Alyssa Taylor is the daughter of Winston Taylor, who is also the CEO of KS World Hotel.

“Most importantly, she’s a woman. Rumors and gossip like this could have devastating effects on her reputation.” Sophia bristled, her lip twitching angrily.

Javier cried, “Is this how you speak to your elders? Don’t you know r-” Jasper stood up before his father could finish talking. I’m full now. Please enjoy the rest of your meal without me.” Newton watched as his grandson left the dining room, his eyes narrowing curiously.

Jasper tugged on his tie, heading to the gardens to take a breather.

Feelings of frustration, distress, and fear had enveloped him since the moment Newton brought up the As soon as Jameson Schmidt was brought into the conversation, the sensation in his chest grew exponentially.

It felt almost as if his lungs were being slowly consumed, making it increasingly difficult to draw breath.

He took out a cigarette and lit it before taking a puff.

As he grew increasingly upset, he reached for his phone to call Landon.

“Finally, you asshole!” Landon cried from the other end. He was whining like some kind of housewife left at home for too long. “You haven’t come to see me once since I got food poisoning, you ass!” “There’s something you might want to know.” Jasper took a deep breath. “Javier and Sophia intend for you to marry Betty in an alliance.” “Oh, fuck!” Landon yelped from the other end of the call. “Why the fuck am I involved in your family drama now?” “Does it matter who you marry? I thought you said they’d be nothing more than a decoration to your name?

“Yes, I did say that, but-” “So why not marry Betty? She likes you, and you’d benefit from joining our families together.” “What the fuck, man? You know how sly that sister of yours is! You can’t do this to me!” “She may be sly, but she’s putty in your hands. You could do what you want with her, and she wouldn’t find it in herself to retaliate. Think of it as karma. Jasper puffed out some smoke. 1 Neither Landon nor Jameson was going to have Alyssa. 1 Jasper gritted his teeth, feeling as if he were a vengeful fly swatter trying to rid Alyssa of all the stray flies buzzing around her

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 430-The counterfeit worked!

In fact, she had even devised an escape plan in case she was discovered.

Her excuse would involve claiming that she had been deceived by the “friend” who had given her the jewelry.

Alexa’s disciple, Tyson Nolan, for that..

Betty managed to carve a spot out for herself in the hotel’s higher management-all without her mother’s help!

That night, Sophia celebrated with Betty on the balcony, popping bottles of champagne.

hotel, you’ll be set on the path to securing a position on the board of directors!

*Then we can finally kick that bastard Jasper out of the picture!” Sophia exclaimed, her hand snaked around her daughter’s waist.

Her eyes glowed with excitement as she said, “I can’t rely on your sister, but you have never let me down!” “Don’t you worry, Mom! Once I secure a spot on the board, I’ll gradually diminish Jasper’s influence. Then the entire business will be in our hands!” Betty happily clinked glasses with her mother.

Just then, the butler called from outside the room, “Madam Sophia, Ms. Betty, there’s a letter for you.” The women shared a look before going to the door.

“Who is it from?” Betty asked.

“KS World Hotel’s General Manager’s personal assistant cum secretary, Mr.

Lynch.” KS World Hotel? Alyssa Taylor sent them this?

“Thank you. Now leave us.” Sophia took the letter and shut the door.

She opened the envelope to find two invitations to a charity auction for jewelry.

She pursed her lips, her expression darkened.

+15 BONUS “Mom, this doesn’t feel right. That bitch hasn’t made a squeak for nearly two weeks, only to send this to us now for seemingly no reason. This isn’t a trap, is it? Betty asked womedy us. Alyssa has no chance of turning the tides in her favor anymore” Coincidentally, the evening news on the television began broadcasting about said charty auction.

“Look, Mom, the event organizer is MINT! Betty exclaimed. “They’re a famous fashion magazine that has branches all across the world.

“Countless celebrities got famous all because they were featured on its covers! I cant believe Alyssa had She hadn’t anticipated that Alyssa, whose reputation had suffered alongside that of KS World Hotel would be able to secure MINT. Just how many connections did she have?
