Ch. 761..770
Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 761-“Well, I can only trust your word, future first lady of Kontina!” Alyssa teased Miley.
“Ms. Alyssa, you’re home!” Sean rushed out from the kitchen, looking dapper in his suit. However, he was covered in some flour.
“Sean, are you cooking?” Alyssa inquired curiously.
“Yes. Madam Lyla and Tatiana are in the kitchen. I’m helping out,” Sean replied with an awkward and troubled expression.
“What? Is Lyla cooking in the kitchen?” Mandy gasped and stood up. “Why didn’t anyone stop her? She fainted this morning!” Alyssa’s heart sank upon learning that. “Did Lyla faint earlier today? Let me check on her.” Meanwhile, Tatiana was helping Lyla in the kitchen. Lyla looked pale, which made Tatiana worry.
She asked Lyla, “Mom, are you okay?” “I’m fine. I’ll have to rush. It’s almost dinnertime. I don’t want to leave everyone hungry,” Lyla mumbled while speedily cutting the vegetables. Suddenly, a gasp escaped her lips.
Tatiana panicked and nearly cried when she saw what had happened. “Mom, you cut your finger! It’s bleeding!” Alyssa and Sean arrived at the kitchen just in time. Alyssa immediately ordered, “Sean, get the first-aid kit from my room. Lyla needs some stitches because her wound is pretty deep.” “Yes, Ms. Alyssa!” Sean hurriedly brought the first-aid kit. Alyssa expertly took care of Lyla’s wound.
Tatiana was shocked at Alyssa’s medical expertise. Nothing seemed impossible for the multi-talented Alyssa.
In contrast, Tatiana felt useless and small. She couldn’t even do anything when her mom was bullied and nearly attacked. She fought to hold back her tears at the thought.
Sean leaned over and placed a comforting hand on Tatiana’s trembling shoulder. Feeling sorry for her, he reassured her, “Ms. Tatiana, don’t worry. Ms.
Alyssa is around to help. Madam Lyla made a lot of dishes.
Let’s set the table now.” Tatiana sensed that Alyssa needed a private chat with Lyla. So, she wiped away her tears and followed Sean out of the kitchen.
+15 BONUS “Lyla, don’t worry. I won’t let this slip after all that happened to you,” Alyssa said to Lyla while bandaging the wound.
“Oh, Lyse, I appreciate the sentiment, but you don’t have to do anything for me.
I’m fine!” Lyla hurriedly stopped her, looking fazed and lost.
“20 years ago, she might have bullied you without a concern. But her attempt to pull the same trick now will land her in hot water,” Alyssa said while inhaling deeply.
She kept her anger in check and added, “If that woman wants to play with fire, I will make sure she is scorched.” Lyla suddenly snapped back to reality and grabbed Alyssa’s hand while panting hard. “Lyse, do you know who was behind the attack?” “Yes. At this point, I believe you know as well.” Alyssa’s eyes were filled with pain. “You should have told Winston about it. He would have taken action on your behalf. No man would sit back and watch his wife bullied.” “Lyse, I do not want any revenge. I just want our family to live in peace,” Lyla confessed. Tears rolled down her cheeks. She looked breathtakingly dazzling at that moment.
Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 762-Alyssa let out a knowing sigh. She and Lyla were well aware of Winston’s hot temper. He would have sent someone to harm Sophia had he known that Sophia was the mastermind behind Lyla’s attack.
In Alyssa’s opinion, that was not the most satisfying way of dealing with Sophia, nor was it legal.
Alyssa was adept with dealing honestly or playing dirty. Knowing how cunning Sophia was, Alyssa had to play dirty.
“Lyla, do you recognize this man?” Alyssa presented a photo on her phone to Lyla, as the attacker had concealed his face during the attack.
“This man… He’s… He’s…” Lyla stammered, wide-eyed. “His name is Ronald Branson. He was an assistant at TS Network, handling tasks like distributing food and drinks for actors.” “So, he had access to the TS Network building, right?” “Not only that, he filled in other roles on set. Sometimes, when we were short on extras, he had to fill in”, Lyla explained, a hint of confusion in her expression. “Lyse, why are you asking about him?” Alyssa frowned as an unsettling thought crossed her mind.
Alyssa emerged from Lyla’s room with a worried expression.
A maid approached her and told her, “Ms. Alyssa, a young gentleman is waiting for you out there. He seems to be waiting for some time.” Alyssa felt her heart skip a beat, and her palms grew sweaty. She couldn’t help but get reminded of the scene where Jasper stood on the snowy grounds, loyally waiting for her.
“You didn’t tell anyone about it, did you?” Alyssa asked discreetly.
“No. He specifically instructed me not to alert anyone else when passing the message to you,” the maid replied.
“Got it.” Alyssa steadied her breathing and crossed the spacious courtyard to the entrance with a throbbing heart.
Despite their recent argument, she felt no resentment toward Jasper. Her heart raced inexplicably, leaving her bewildered by her own emotions.
Pushing the door open, Alyssa looked up to hear a tender call, “Lyse.” The chamar gh, and mandious voice shader Pes hood before her with a passionate gana warm smile, and the Golden Aura ?
Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 763-“Why are you here?” Alyssa asked, catching herself before she could blurt out, “Why is it you?” Jameson was dressed in an exquisite black suit. He looked regal with the dazzling horse in hand, like a prince out of a palace.
He said, “I’m just here to see you.” “How’s your injury? You should rest for at least two months. What about the cast on your arm?” Alyssa inquired about his condition upon recalling the frightful night.
“I have no regret after hearing that,” he responded with a passionate look at her.
She held her breath, uncertain how to continue the conversation.
Jameson added, “I’m not only here to see you. I’m here to give you the horse.
You left in such a hurry that you didn’t get to bring it with you.” “Jimmy, thanks for the lovely horse, but I can’t accept that expensive gift from you,” she calmly turned down his offer.
“Lyse, did I do anything wrong? Did it upset you? Were you still angry because of what happened that day?” “No. That’s all in the past. It doesn’t make a difference whether Jasper is blocked on my phone now,” Alyssa said with a chuckle.
Jameson tightened his grip on the horse’s headcollar. He grinned and said, “I specifically picked this horse for you. It took a month of sea shipping to get it here.
“I kept him at our family’s racecourse without informing them. And you saw what happened at the racecourse that day. David is in charge of the racecourse, so I can’t possibly keep my horse there, but I don’t have space at my villa for the horse.
“So, can you help me to take care of it for now? Just think of it as helping a friend out.” Alyssa couldn’t possibly turn down the horse after hearing his plea. She had always tried to help her friends. She reluctantly said, “Well, I’ll look after it for now. Please let me know when you’ve found a place for it. I’ll send it over.” Alyssa’s gaze never left the horse. One could tell that she was fond of it.
However, she was raised not to accept any exorbitant gift for no good reason.
“Cool. I’ll take it with me when I find a place for it,” Jameson said, looking at the night sky as snowflakes Suddenly, he asked, “Lyse, the winds at Belbanks are quite chilly. May I have some hot tea at your home?” Feeling sorry for making her guest stand in the cold, Alyssa immediately invited him in, “I’m so sorry, Jimmy. Do come in.” Jameson smiled and made a move. Walking past Alyssa, he suddenly frowned, staring at her left temple.
She blinked in shock. “What’s the matter? Is there something in my hair?” He slowly lifted a hand and reached out for her temple. Her heart sank, and she was about to dodge his advance when he brandished a red rose.
The fresh and ravishing rose almost seemed like it was plucked right off her hair.
“Where did you get this from?” “I learned some magic tricks for you in the past days,” Jameson admitted shyly and adjusted his glasses.” A female warrior is worthy of a horse, and a beauty deserves flowers. Sorry, I’m not too good at magic tricks. Laugh at me if you want.” Alyssa was taken aback. She had mixed emotions about the situation.
Whenever Jameson was nice to her, she’d feel guilty, as if she had wronged him.
The butler led the horse through the gates, gaping in awe, while Alyssa guided Jameson toward Heightsnew Villa.
Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 764-Before the gate closed, Jameson abruptly halted, shooting an icy gaze toward his back. His pale lips curled into a mocking smile as he scoffed, “Hah. You coward.” Meanwhile, Jasper stood before his bedroom window, staring blankly into the distance.
He smoked one cigarette after another, the ashtray overflowing with stubs, the room shrouded in smoke that masked his loneliness.
He let out some muffled coughs, his chest feeling like an empty cave.
He replayed the scene of the day when he tossed the divorce papers in front of Alyssa and forced her to sign them. After that, she left without taking a dime from him.
He stood at the same window when she left in Jonah’s car, his gaze talling the car.
He was filled with unexplainable rage at that time. He finally realized the reason behind his emotions-he hated seeing her leave.
Their subsequent bitter exchanges were attempts to convince himself he didn’t love her.
He didn’t fall in love with Alyssa only after losing her. Instead, it took losing Alyssa to reveal his true feelings for her.
He had never expressed his love and affection, all because it was like oxygen to him.
A phone call interrupted his thoughts. His heart jumped upon seeing Xavier’s name, and he qui extinguished his cigarette and picked up his phone. “Hello?” “Mr. Beckett, I was in front of Madam’s house overnight per your orders, and I finally saw her,” Xavier reported in a tense voice despite completing his mission.
“Lys-How is she doing?” Jasper asked, holding his breath. He recalled how Alyssa had left with Jameson that night at the park. The scene still killed him.
Now, he refused to call her by her nickname out of anger. He might be deeply in love with her, but that didn’t mean he had no ego.
“Mr. Beckett, I’ll send a few photos over. P-Please brace yourself.” Then, Xavier texted Jasper the photos.
Tapping on his phone, Jasper saw Jameson leaning toward Alyssa’s neck. From the photographer’s angle Jameson seemed to be kissing her on the cheek.
+15 BONU They were acting so intimately.
Despite his various attempts to reconcile, Alyssa had never shown anything other than an aversion to Jasper. She crushed his ego every time.
Anger rose in Jasper. He punched the window, startling Xavier.
“C-Calm down, Mr. Beckett. Why don’t you visit in person if you’re upset? The Schmidt fellow is at Madam’s place. You can’t just sit back and do nothing, or you’ll be granting him what he wanted and admit your defeat!” “What’s the point of meeting her?” Jasper bellowed. He puffed and huffed as tears welled. He looked pitiful and dejected. “She said she didn’t want to see me again. I’ll grant her wish.” Jasper projected his thoughts into the vacant space, behaving as though Alyssa stood before him, stati that the torment was too much for him.
Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 765-Winston and Alyssa’s older brothers were on a business trip abroad. Only the female family members were at home.
Jameson was not a stranger to the family. However, it was late at night, and the family was taking care of Lyla. Not wanting to disturb her family, Alyssa discreetly ushered Jameson into the guest room.
To her surprise, Miley was already in the room, enjoying tea.
“Miley, are you still up?” Alyssa introduced Jameson to him, “Oh, this is my friend. He’s Jameso14 “I know. He’s Jameson Schmidt, the fourth son of the Schmidt family. I remember him from Lyla’s birthday party,” Miley said and calmly set her tea on the table.
With a smile, she remarked, “Lyse rarely has any friend of the opposite sex apart from her brothers. You’re the first, Jameson.” “It’s my honor,” Jameson replied with a seemingly genuine smile. “I’m more honored to have a chance to meet with the future first lady of Kontina.” Jameson’s comment took Alyssa aback.
Miley answered flatly, “I’m just Lyse’s sister. My husband is only an ordinary congressman in Kontina. Your remark is an overstatement.” Jameson smiled without saying anything.
Miley slowly rose from her seat and said, “Lyse, I’ll leave you to host your guest.” Despite smiling, Alyssa clearly felt the odd air between Miley and Jameson, but she couldn’t pinpoint the exact issue.
After Miley exited the guest room and closed the door behind her, she called her assistant with a grim expression. “Have you found anything from the investigation?” “Hi, Madam. I’ve looked into Jameson Schmidt’s background and emailed you the information.” “Alright.” Since it was getting late, Jameson didn’t stick around for too long before he left.
When he was back in the car, his secretary, Carl Moses, immediately beamed.
“Mr. Schmidt, Ms. Alyssal Jameson adjusted his glasses. He didn’t look particularly happy. “Let’s get going.” Alyssa had neither willingly accepted his gift nor invited him to her place.
Everything remained the same as before. He had to take the initiative, as Alyssa would not make the first move.
“She has totally given up on Jasper Beckett. He’s out of the game. From what I’ve seen, you’re the best candidate for Ms. Alyssa. It will all work out.” Jameson tugged on his tie knot and asked, “Do you mean I am not as good as Jasper Beckett?” Carl shuddered. “No, of course not! I was wrong.” “Lyse might have gotten over Jasper, but he’s still into her. I cannot underestimate my enemy.” With that, Jameson cast a troubled look out of the window.
“By the way, I’ve made progress in the investigation you ordered,” Carl reported grimly.
“Go ahead.” “Someone drugged the horse in the attack against you and Ms. Alyssa. We examined the horse’s blood.
sample and found traces of stimulants.
“Not only that, we found this in the trash after thoroughly searching the racecourse.”
Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 766-Carl reached into his bag, pulling out a plastic bag containing a syringe. He explained, “After reviewing the surveillance footage, we discovered that David’s men were responsible.” Jameson smirked with half-closed eyes. “David is as malicious as Josh but lacks Josh’s effectiveness.
His methods are crude, always leaving behind evidence. A halfwit like him doesn’t deserve my time.” “But we can’t let this slide, can we? It would be too cowardly!” Carl gritted his teeth.
Leaning back, Jameson enjoyed some shut-eye. “Of course not. I’ll make him pay for what he did to me.
He broke my arm, so I’ll break his leg. That’s only fair, right?” Carl concurred, “Of course! You’re already showing mercy by not taking his life, all because he’s your brother!” Jameson thought, “David does not deserve to be called a brother.” He wagged his finger, stating, “If it were Lyse who got injured that day, I would have gotten rid of David Schmidt by now.” After taking a bath and applying skincare, Alyssa’s mood finally lifted.
Miley called her from the outside. “Lyse, are you asleep?” “Not yet, Miley. Come on in!” Miley entered the room. Alyssa turned around while patting some cream on her face. Miley, with her radiant skin and dressed in a light blue silk nightdress, looked dazzling.
“Wow! Here comes the prettiest first lady!” “Lyse, where did you get that golden horse from? It’s shining brighter than the lights in the courtyard. I’m nearly blinded,” Miley wondered.
“Oh. It’s Jameson’s horse,” answered Alyssa, continuing her skincare.
“Is that his horse, or did he give it to you as a gift?” “It’s his horse. He wanted to give it to me, but I refused.” “Horses are your favorite animal, and he wanted to give you a Golden Ausman Horse. It’s incredible that you’re able to resist the temptation. You seem really insistent on keeping your boundary with him,” She then mumbled to herself, “Good. I’m relieved.” Alyssa picked up on Miley’s remark and mused, “Miley, what was that? You’re relieved? But why?*
“I can tell that he likes you a lot from the way he looks at you.” Upon hearing that, Alyssa felt a headache coming in. “I know. He’s confessed his love to me. What do I do? Is there a manual somewhere, like ‘How To Quit Being Charming’ or ‘How To Stop Men From Falling for You?
“I have PTSD over relationships. If this keeps going, I might have to become a nun.” “Why? Are you hurt because of Jasper Beckett?” teased Miley.
“Nah. He can’t hurt me. He’s just an animal gone rogue. Ouch, that hurts!” Alyssa inadvertently increased her strength when she thought about Jasper, almost causing her face to swell from all the patting.
“Colene is so happy to see the horse. She’s riding it in the courtyard right now,” Miley changed the topic of the conversation with a laugh.
Alyssa shot up from the seat, eyes widening. “What? Is Colene riding it? I haven’t even gotten a chance to ride it!” “Just try it out. How could you give out millions worth of jewelry but feel reluctant to ride a horse?
Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 767-Alyssa and Miley heard Colene’s muffled shouts from the horse’s back, followed by a chorus of laughter.
Speechless, Alyssa said, “Well, I don’t mind, as long as Colene’s happy.” Miley slowly sat on the couch and looked hesitant to speak. Alyssa sat by her side and took her arm.” Miley, you must have something to discuss with me when you knock on my door this late. Is it related to Jameson?” “I remember he visited our home when he was younger. You seemed close to him,” Miley said flatly.
“Yes. We were classmates in elementary school,” Alyssa reminisced. “I fended off the class bullies for him, and he started sticking around me because he was grateful.
“I didn’t have many friends in the class due to my family background. Since everyone kept their distance, I had no choice but to be friends with Jameson.
“To be honest, it was a happy time in my childhood. Later, Jameson went to Kontina with his mom, and we lost contact for 15 years.” “So, he’s practically a stranger after all these years,” remarked Miley knowingly.
“Exactly. I couldn’t even recognize him at first. When he was younger, he looked fair and somewhat feminine. Now, he’s a tall, handsome guy.” “Between Jasper and Jameson, who’s hotter?” Miley playfully winked at Alyssa.
“Miley, did Jasper bribe you or something? Why do you keep bringing him up?
It’s such a mood dampener, grumbled Alyssa, who pouted in frustration.
“Look, Lyse, I’m not against you dating anyone. Victor Schmidt is Dad’s good friend, so I’m sure his son will not treat you poorly. It’s just that…” Miley’s voice trailed off. She looked a little worried when she recalled Jameson’s profile that her assistant had found.
She explained, “Jameson Schmidt is not what he seems. I secretly looked into his background. He runs a huge, complex business in Kontina’ that spans many industries.
“Kontina’s society is not as simple as Cyrris’. It’s hard to tackle the organized crime and drug trade. The politicians and businessmen there are corrupt, and they work with each other. Jeremy’s first task when in power is to address the illegal drug trade and corruption.” Alyssa’s heart leaped to her throat. “Wow, life is going to be tough for you and Jeremy!” “Stop changing the topic,” Miley reminded her. “Given the scale of Jameson’s business in Kontina, it’s highly likely that he’s involved in organized crime and gangs.
“I even heard that he was once discreetly called in by the prosecution for interrogation over his involvement in drugs but was released due to a lack of evidence.” “What did you say?” Alyssa was shocked.
“He’s safe now because there’s no concrete evidence, but there’s no smoke without fire. He must have been a top suspect if the police looked into him.
“Besides, the prosecutor who interrogated him was Jeremy’s student. That fellow is an upright and honest character. He would never be bribed and wouldn’t accuse anyone without evidence.” Miley clasped Alyssa’s hands worriedly. “Lyse, you can be friends with him, but don’t be too involved with a dangerous man like him.” Alyssa blinked as she sank into deep thoughts. Then, she nodded gently. “Miley, I’m an adult who has my fair share of real-world experience. I’ve witnessed the ruthlessness of a warzone and experienced the dark side of humanity. I’ll keep your words in mind. I know what to do.” **
A GET IT NOW Five days later, a procession of black luxury cars lined the entrance of Seaview Manor in the evening.
Bodyguards in black, adorned with golden pins bearing the Harper Group insignia, stepped out of the cars.
“Ms. Zoe!” “Madam Penelope!” “Mr. Cornelius!”
Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 768-The doors of the three cars opened simultaneously. Zoe and Penelope disembarked from their respective vehicles, followed by the gray-haired Cornelius, dressed in an opulent black fur coat. Holding a walking stick with a golden eagle carving, he exited the car with Zoe’s help, looking stern.
“Dad, be careful,” Penelope cautioned while approaching him.
Cornelius let out a heavy sigh at the sight of the Becketts’ gate. “Jasper did not show up at all when you visited the Becketts to discuss marriage. Is that right?” She bit her lips and nodded shamefully. “Yes.” “You’re useless.” Zoe silently pouted, seemingly unhappy at her mom as well.
Penelope explained fearfully, “You know Jasper’s character well. Even Javier can’t force him to do anything against his will. Sophia, as his stepmother, is of no use at all.” Ever since Penelope’s husband’s passing, Landon had been the pillar of support for their small family.
Without Landon, Cornelius would have looked down on Penelope even more.
“You’re Zoe’s mom. How could you be of no help when she’s bullied? All you can do is wallow in helplessness and anger,” growled Cornelius, who poked Penelope with his stick.
He added, “The Harpers are a distinguished family in Solana City. Everyone holds us in high regard. But now, I am forced to show up to settle the mess caused by that Beckett fellow. Is this how you show your respect to me?” “Dad, it’s all my fault. I’m useless,” Penelope apologized profusely, head hung low.
“Grandpa, Mom has tried her best. You should stop blaming her,” Zoe spoke up for Penelope while holding Cornelius’ arm.
Cornelius’ eyes were spitting fire. His temples were throbbing. “Jasper is an arrogant little brat! He basically humiliated the Harper family with his actions. He’d better behave today and agree to marry Zoe.
If not, I will treat the Becketts as our archenemy!” In a lounge at the nightclub, Betty was partying with her friends, reveling in a hedonistic lifestyle. She danced closely with two nearly naked male models amidst excited screams.
In a daze, Betty stretched her neck and poured red wine all over her trembling chest. Witnessing this, a male model hugged her tight and started licking her from the neck down to her chest.
This elicited more cheers and screams around her as she laughed hysterically.
After the lustful moments, she grabbed a wine bottle and slumped on the couch.
While downing the wine, she let out uncontrollable laughs.
“Ms. Betty? Ms. Betty!” Her assistant walked up to her and kneeled. “There’s a situation at Seaview Manor now.” “What’s wrong?” Betty drawled.
“The Harpers are paying a visit. I believe they are there to discuss marriage.” “Pfft. What the fuck is going on? Didn’t Zoe’s widowed mom show up a few days ago? She was sent home without getting to meet Jasper at all.” The assistant explained, “Things are different this time. She’s there with Cornelius Harper!” Betty’s eyes flickered open. She shot up on the couch. “Who?” “Cornelius Harper, Zoe’s grandpa! I heard they came with a group of people.
They must be there for a confrontation.” “Hahaha! That’s interesting!” Betty slapped the couch with an exciting gleam in her eyes. “Get the car ready! I’ll be home to enjoy the debacle!”
Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 769-Javier and Sophia were home at Seaview Manor. He was checking the news on his phone with a sour expression.
Despite enlisting the top PR team in the nation to handle the scandal between Jasper and Zoe, online discussions showed no signs of abating.
As the president of the Beckett Group, Jasper’s reluctance to make a public appearance or issue a statement only fueled speculations, tarnishing his reputation.
Meanwhile, Sophia sat at the dresser, applying hair care products to the long locks she had invested time and money in over the years.
Back in the day when she slept with Javier to advance her career, Javier loved caressing her smooth and silky hair during their intimacy.
“Come here, Javier,” she commanded, turning around to gesture at him.
“What’s the matter?” Javier replied, never once looking away from his phone.
“Come over. Touch my hair. I’ve been taking good care of them every day for you,” she purred with a seductive twinkle in her eyes. “Touch it and let me know if it still feels the same as before.” “Sophie,” he began, only to pause. He couldn’t bring himself to ask her if she was behind the attack on Lyla.
Instead, he changed the subject. “Landon confessed to me and Dad about his love for Lauren.” “What? When was that?” Sophia asked, standing up with a dumbstruck expression.
“He told us when he visited Jasper in the hospital with Lauren.” Sophia clapped her hands joyfully. “That’s good news. Gosh! What does Dad think about it? He’s watched Landon grow up, and we are close family friends with the Harpers. We also share the same social status.
I assume he’s supportive, isn’t he?” “You were busy matchmaking Betty and Landon before this and never paid attention to Lauren’s matters. Why did you suddenly support the relationship?” questioned Javier coldly.
Sophia’s mind raced. She explained, “Javier, you make it sound like I don’t care about Lauren at all. She’s my daughter. Of course, I care for her.
“Well, too bad Betty and Landon are incompatible. They’re not meant to be. If Landon is interested in good family.” “Lauren might be dating Landon, but they haven’t made it public. There’s still a chance to turn things around,” Javier opined. “Things will only get messy if they make their relationship public.” “Javier, what do you mean? Do you not want Lauren to marry Landon?” Sophia asked worriedly.
“Mrs. Harper visited our place to discuss Jasper and Zoe’s marriage, but she went home empty-handed without getting to meet with Jasper. Didn’t you see her expression when she left? She was so resentful.
“Landon is her only son. After what happened between Jasper and Zoe, she couldn’t possibly agree to the marriage between Landon and Lauren,” argued Javier while impatiently rubbing his forehead.
Sophia was taken aback. She replayed the scene and recalled Penelope’s look of rage, realizing that Lauren might have lost her chance of marrying into the distinguished Harper family.
No. All wasn’t lost yet!
Given that Landon was willing to marry Lauren and take the problem off their hands, Sophia resolved to push the marriage through by all means.
With that in mind, she sighed sorrowfully and tiptoed to Javier. While massaging his shoulders, she whispered, “Javier, you’ve been in a bad mood in the past few days. You must be worried about this matter. I have a win-win solution that will solve everything.” Javier mused, “And what is that?” “Make Jasper marry Ms. Zoe, and everyone will be happy. We’ll approve of Zoe in exchange for Mrs.
Harper’s approval of Lauren,” Sophia suggested, getting more excited and greedier as she spoke.
Javier frowned with frustration. “Can’t you tell who Jasper is in love with? He has no eyes for anyone except for Alyssa Taylor. And you should know his temper well after 20 years of living together.” “Jasper might be in love with Alyssa, but it’s all meaningless if she doesn’t reciprocate.” Today’s Bonus Offer
Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 770-Sophia sneered, remarking, “Jasper deeply wounded Alyssa when they divorced. And his relationship with Zoe is questionable.
“Considering Alyssa’s intolerant and strong-willed personality, is it possible for her to accept Jasper? It might be beyond what she finds acceptable.” Javier’s expression grew serious at the mention of the probability that Alyssa might find the situation beyond acceptance. But before he could speak, a knock on the door interrupted.
Following that, Barry’s anxious voice came through. “Mr. Javier, Madam Sophia, the Harpers are here.” “Just say I’m not here,” Javier answered without hesitation while frowning.
“Mr. Javier, Harper Group’s chairman, Mr. Cornelius, came along as well. Are you sure you don’t want to meet him?” Suddenly, Javier’s heart sank.
“You see that, Javier?” With her arms crossed, Sophia smiled nonchalantly. “Until Jasper and Zoe’s marriage is settled, our family won’t have a peaceful day. Even Cornelius is here. If this continues, it won’t end well.” Cornelius sat on the center sofa with his hands folded on top of the eagle head of his cane. His imposi presence made everyone in Seaview Manor hold their breath.
“Mr. Cornelius, why didn’t you inform me you were coming? I would have welcomed you,” Javier said with a smile, walking over with Sophia.
The living room was filled with the Harpers, creating a tense and unfriendly atmosphere.
With an unchanged expression, Javier looked around and said, “Mr. Cornelius, you made quite a grand entrance. Are you upset because I didn’t welcome you personally?” “I’m indeed upset, but you know why, don’t you?” Frowning, Cornelius spoke with a cold and intimidating tone. “Your family is quite arrogant. My daughter-in -law personally came here, but your son didn’t bother to meet her.
“I had to come here personally, or your son wouldn’t even bother to show respect.” good family.” “Lauren might be dating Landon, but they haven’t made it public. There’s still a chance to turn things. around,” Javier opined. “Things will only get messy if they make their relationship public.” “Javier, what do you mean? Do you not want Lauren to marry Landon?” Sophia asked worriedly.
