Ch. 771..780

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 771-Jasper casually placed his left hand in his pocket on the white marble-carved spiral staircase. His tailored gray suit outlined his figure as he descended the stairs elegantly.

Zoe stared at his handsome face and forgot to cry, half-opening her mouth in astonishment.

Jasper was truly the fantasy of all women.

Zoe was willing to lose her dignity and shame just to cling to him. She felt that she didn’t make the wrong move.

No matter what, she must obtain him.

“Mr. Jasper, what do you mean by that? You bullied my granddaughter, but now it has become her fault?” Cornelius’s gaze was sharp as he questioned coldly.

Jasper smirked. “You’ve understood. There’s no need for me to repeat it and embarrass your granddaughter again, don’t you think?” His words left everyone in shock.

What did he mean by that?

Did something happen during that night they spent together?

Instantly, Zoe’s face turned pale. She hid in Cornelius’s arms and bit her lip, afraid to make a sound.

“Y-You!” Being of an old age, Cornelius was almost out of breath from Jasper’s words.

His face turned red.

“Jasper! What nonsense are you talking about? You can’t act recklessly in front of the elders!” Javier quickly scolded. But in his heart, he started to have doubts.

“Act recklessly?” Despite Jasper’s smile, his eyes held an intimidating gaze. “I was merely stating facts. Ms. Zoe, do you dare to make a solemn oath to God?” A chill ran through Zoe’s body, and her heart nearly leaped out of her chest.

“Do you dare to swear that you knew nothing about what happened in the hotel that night and were completely innocent? Do you dare to swear to God?” Jasper’s eyes were as deep as an abyss as he stared at her, like a police officer scrutinizing a heinous 25 “… …” I Zoe darted her eyes around, trying to look innocent. “Jasper, why are you saying that? Swear? Why should I swear? Didn’t you ask me to meet you at the hotel that night?” At her words, Jasper’s eyes contracted sharply.

He thought Zoe would quibble. But he didn’t expect her to dare to make up lies.

“We agreed to meet in room 205. I arrived first and waited for you, but you didn’t show up. So I thought I’d take a bath while waiting for you.

“I didn’t expect that as soon as I finished bathing, you came. Isn’t that what happened that night?” Zoe’s eyelashes were wet with tears, and her eyes were red-rimmed and swollen. Everything she said seemed so real.

“Jasper, I don’t know what happened in the middle that made you unwilling to admit what happened that night. But no matter what you say, I won’t blame you.

“If you want me to make an oath, I will!” As Zoe spoke, she clenched her teeth and raised three fingers. “I, Zoe Harper, swear to God that everything I said that night was true. Otherwise, I would get hit by a car and die miserably!” 1 Zoe considered the idea of solemnly swearing to God as absurd.

Did God even exist in this world?

Zoe didn’t believe in hell or karma.

She only knew that, as long as it was something she wanted, she would get it no matter the dirty tricks she needed to use.

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 772-At that moment, Jasper found himself to be laughable.

He had thought that, despite Zoe’s bad behavior, there should still be a trace of innocence in her. After all, she was his best friend’s only sister.

However, he had misjudged her. Her relationship with Landon was only by blood, and Zoe was nothing like Landon in other aspects.

She had already been corrupted, perhaps even inherently bad from the beginning. The only reason Jasper had seen the good in her was the fact that she was Landon’s sister.

Since that was the case, he didn’t need to show mercy for the sake of his best friend.

“Zoe! What nonsense are you talking about? Getting hit by a car? If something happens to you, how can I continue living?” Penelope pulled out a handkerchief and wiped her tears.

“Zoe is my only granddaughter, my precious jewel! She has been raised with the utmost care since childhood. She had never suffered any hardship.

“She cursed herself just to prove her innocence to you. This shows that every word she says is the truth!” Cornelius stroked Zoe’s head as he glared at Jasper. “Zoe might be a little spoiled, but she has never told a lie in her entire lifetime! Is Newton’s grandson so cowardly that he can’t own up to his actions?” Upon hearing that, Jasper squinted his eyes and clenched his fingers tightly, suppressing his raging anger.

“Mr. Cornelius, your words are simply too harsh!” Javier couldn’t bear to hear others insult his son so recklessly in front of so many people, especially when his father was dragged into it. He had to uphold his dignity.

“Let’s stick to the matter at hand! What are your demands? Just say it.

“Both of our families are prestigious in Solana City. It’s already unsightly for you to come here tonight. Do you really want to make things ugly with my family?” Just then, Zoe’s eyes sparkled with a sinister light.

This time, she brought Cornelius here to use his influence to force Jasper into marrying her.

She didn’t want to make things ugly with the Beckett family. That would be a complete loss.

“Mr. Javier, I have two reasonable requests.” Cornelius’s face darkened. “Firstly, I want your son to apologize to Zoe right now. After all, it was because of him that she was surrounded by reporters and almost suffered a reputation loss.

“Originally, I wanted your family to hold a press conference, but as you said, we are all prestigious figures. Making a big deal out of it would bring shame to your family. So, just privately apologize, and I won’t pursue it any further.” All the butlers and servants in the Seaview Manor couldn’t stand it any longer.

They all showed expressions of indignation.

Jasper was a noble figure, yet this old man badly bullied him!

They really wanted to let a dog in to bite him.

“Mr. Cornelius, what has Mr. Jasper done wrong? Why should he apologize to Ms. Zoe? You’re being too unfair!” Everyone turned around in unison, only to see Rosie storming out in anger, standing up for Jasper.

Sophia, hiding behind Javier, was initially surprised but then revealed a sinister smile.

She had disliked Rosie for a long time. Over the years, Rosie had taken advantage of Jasper’s support to disregard her.

Now, she even had the audacity to come forward for Jasper. Well, this wouldn’t end well for her.

“Mrs. Rosie, go back quickly,” Jasper urged Rosie in a low voice.

“Mr. Jasper, I’m afraid you’ll be bullied!” Rosie’s eyes were teary.

She had been silently watching from upstairs for a long time, enduring it. When she heard Cornelius forcing Jasper to apologize to Zoe, she couldn’t bear it anymore.

“Mr. Javier, Madam Sophia, even a servant from your house can speak so recklessly? Isn’t that too disrespectful?” Penelope sneered at Rosie.

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 773-“Madam Penelope, you may not be aware of our family situation. Despite being a servant, Mrs. Rosie holds a high position in our family.” Sophia started sarcastically, taunting Rosie. “She doesn’t even respect us as the hosts of this house, let alone you as guests.” “Sophia, you know very well why Mrs. Rosie holds such a high position.” Jasper walked to Rosie’s side and positioned himself before her, acting like a shield. His gaze turned frosty as he glared at Sophia, causing her to shudder.

“After my mother passed away, Mrs. Rosie has been with me, taking care of me like her son. In my eyes, she’s as important as my mother.” “Mr. Jasper.” Rosie was moved, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.

“And I’ve already said it. In Seaview Manor, Rosie only takes care of my daily life. She’s not your servant.

Isn’t it normal for her not to listen to you?” At his words, people couldn’t help but snicker.

After all, in Seaview Manor, Rosie’s popularity surpassed that of Sophia and her daughter.

“You!” Sophia seethed with hatred, but retorting would make her look bad.

“Besides an apology, I have a second request.” Cornelius ignored the women’s disputes and continued coldly, “Mr. Javier, with the current situation, there’s only one way to resolve it-our families must form a union. Allow Jasper to marry Zoe.” Everyone was shocked.

“You’re asking me to marry Zoe?” Jasper chuckled, his gaze turning icy. “Mr. Cornelius, what do you take me for?

Am I expected to marry her simply because she’s a woman? Gender alone doesn’t automatically qualify someone to be my wife.

“I may not actively pursue relationships with women, but that doesn’t mean I don’t exercise discernment in my choice of a partner.” Jasper’s words stunned everyone.

While not directly insulting Zoe, Jasper’s words cut deep into her heart.

Zoe’s lips trembled, and her face turned as white as a sheet.

“Watch your words, Jasper!” Javier was unhappy with the Harper family’s coercion but didn’t want the situation to escalate.

“Jasper, you’re outrageous!” The furious Cornelius banged his eagle-headed cane on the ground, “I’m giving my granddaughter to you, yet you’re upset about it? How dare you humiliate Zoe? You…” “In this lifetime, I have only one wife. Once she was chosen, it can only ever be her!” As soon as Jasper said those words, Barry hurriedly approached. “Mr. Javier, Mr. Jasper, Ms. Alyssa is here.” Following that, a crisp sound of footsteps in high heels echoed in the hall.

Jasper’s breath caught as he watched the slender, elegant figure approaching them. His gaze was intense, as if wanting to sear the beautiful silhouette into his memory with his eyes.

Zoe watched as Jasper was completely captivated by Alyssa. Jealousy transformed her face, yet there was nothing she could do.

In his eyes and mind, Jasper only had room for Alyssa, with no space for any other woman.

If not for that person helping her strategize and her readiness to sacrifice, she might not have had the chance to be alone with Jasper in this lifetime.

“Ah! Madam!” Rosie exclaimed in delight.

“Madam. It’s really Madam.” The servants, though they didn’t dare speak loudly, looked at Alyssa with surprised and hopeful eyes.

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 774-At this point, everyone knew that Jasper had someone in his heart, and that particular someone was their former madam.

Why did Alyssa suddenly appear now? What was she here for?

Did she hear about the Harper family pressuring Jasper into marriage, so she came to save him?

Alyssa wore a tight black dress draped with a stylish black velvet shrug. Her hair swayed down to her waist, and her red lips were vivid. She looked cool and elegant.

Two initially contradictory qualities harmonized perfectly in her. She was truly astonishing.

She exerted such pressure on Zoe with a single assured glance that the latter couldn’t lift her head.

Upon seeing Alyssa’s sudden appearance, Penelope quickly pressed on her tightened chest.

When she recalled Alyssa’s deeds, she felt that even their entire family joining forces might not be enough to compete with her. Penelope’s not-so-healthy heart couldn’t take it.

“Grandpa, she’s the one I mentioned to you, Alyssa,” Zoe urgently whispered to Cornelius.

Zoe added, “She used to bully me a lot. Grandpa, you must help me get justice.” Cornelius stared at Alyssa’s face, feeling complicated.

Although he was meeting Alyssa for the first time, her father, Winston, was an old acquaintance.

They might not be friends, but Winston’s character was well-regarded in their circle. He could confront Javier but found it hard to make things difficult for Winston’s daughter.

“Good evening, Mr. Javier. I apologize for the sudden visit. Oh, Mr. Cornelius, you’re here too.” Smiling, Alyssa greeted Cornelius. “I’m Alyssa. Nice to meet you, Mr. Cornelius.” Graceful and sensible, she was indeed raised by Winston.

Zoe anxiously urged Cornelius, “Grandpa! Grandpa, why aren’t you saying anything? She not only bullied me but is also my rival for Jasper!” Hearing that, Cornelius pressed his lips together. This grudge was not something he couldn’t help his granddaughter settle.

However, as a big shot who had been through life and death, he couldn’t stoop to the level of quarreling with a young woman.

Meanwhile, Jasper’s intense gaze was still on Alyssa’s stunning face.

His brain told him that this woman had hurt him deeply and he should be angry.

But his heart and body were on fire, with passionate hormones telling him he longed for her.

“Ms. Alyssa, what brings you here and at such a late hour too?” Javier asked with a half-smile, maintaining a distant attitude toward his former daughter-in-law.

“That’s right, Ms. Alyssa. You just said it yourself that it was an impromptu visit.

It’s quite rude to come unannounced.” Sophia added with a smirk, “Didn’t you see? We have an esteemed guest here, and we’re discussing important matters. It’s inappropriate for an outsider to listen. If there’s good news, we’ll inform you later.” Sophia’s words were loaded with implication and sarcasm.

At once, Jasper’s expression turned cold. Just as he parted his lips, Alyssa calmly said, “Madam Sophia, you misunderstood. I’m not interested in the conversation between your two families at all. I’m here to see you.” Everyone was puzzled, exchanging glances.

Stunned, Sophia frowned. “Me? Why?” “Would you like to have a private chat, or should I speak openly right here?” Alyssa smiled, her eyes twinkling menacingly.

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 775-The hall fell into an eerie silence as Alyssa’s imposing presence made everyone feel like they were in an icy abyss.

Her intimidating presence was no less formidable than that of Cornelius, a figure known in legitimate and underworld circles.

Sophia, who had been wearing a smug smile, assumed that Alyssa had heard about the Harper family pressuring Jasper into marriage and had come to snatch him away from Zoe.

Sophia was ready to witness a dramatic showdown, but Alyssa’s unexpected claim that she had come to see her threw her off guard.

“Ms. Alyssa, you’re here for me? We don’t seem to have any disputes, do we?

Why do you want to see me?

Sophia asked with surprise, forcing a nervous laugh.

Π “Actually, our dispute ended the day Jasper and I got divorced. But your dispute with an old acquaintance is far from over,” Alyssa said calmly, her tone devoid of any emotion.

Yet Alyssa’s calm words were like a bomb that caught everyone off guard.

“Zoe, what did Ms. Alyssa just say? Divorced? What’s going on?” Cornelius stared at Zoe in disbelief.

“Grandpa, I mentioned it to you. Don’t you remember?” Zoe reminded him timidly.

“Mentioned? When? I might be old, but I’m not a fool! When did you tell me that Jasper had been married before and divorced?” Cornelius had spent most of the year recuperating abroad, leaving the family business in the hands of Landon and Preston.

He was unaware that Jasper had already been married and divorced and that his former wife was Winston’s daughter!

A feeling of being deceived overwhelmed him.

“Mr. Cornelius, so what if Mr. Jasper has been married before?” Rosie couldn’t stand Cornelius’ attitude anymore. She retorted, “Mr. Jasper is an incredible being. Even if he has been married eight tirnes, a long queue of women will still be waiting to marry him.

“Moreover, your granddaughter also wants to marry Mr. Jasper. If she doesn’t mind, why are you making a fuss?” “You old woman, who gave you the right to speak?” Cornelius snapped.

“This is Seaview Manor, not the Harper Residence. I can say whatever I want.

It’s none of your business, Rosie retorted coldly, not even bothering to look at him.

Cornelius was furious, but getting into a dispute with a servant from another household was beneath his status as a big shot.

Javier had been suppressing his emotions all night. Rosie’s outburst against Cornelius finally allowed him to vent some of his frustration.

He might not like Jasper, but Jasper was still his son. He could scold and punish Jasper, but others couldn’t.

On the other hand, Jasper’s breathing hitched, and his heart pounded intensely.

He walked briskly to Alyssa and said with a lowered voice, “Alyssa, you can tell me what you want to say. I can solve it for you.” “Why? Are you afraid I’ll ruin your plans, Mr. Jasper?” Alyssa looked at Jasper coldly and whispered, “Don’t worry, I won’t delay your family meeting. I’m just here for Sophia. After that, I’ll leave.” “I said I’d help you if you have trouble.” Jasper frowned, and complex emotions surged in his dark eyes.

“You can’t solve it, and I don’t need you to.” Alyssa avoided his intense gaze and turned to look at Sophia sternly.

“Ms. Alyssa, you’ve come all this way. I don’t mind if you have a cup of tea before leaving. But there’s nothing for both of us to talk about.” Sophia tilted her chin slightly with a haughty expression. “As for your so-called old acquaintance… Hmm, I’m even more puzzled.” “Don’t you have anything to say about Lyla?” Alyssa’s gaze turned icy, and her tone exuded a chilling coldness.

Sophia’s heart skipped a beat at Alyssa’s words, and her shoulders trembled involuntarily.

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 776-Why did Alyssa want to talk to Sophia about that? Did she find out something?

Did that man betray Sophia?

That was impossible!

Alyssa must be trying to deceive her.

“Ms. Alyssa, you should find another time to talk. Perhaps tomorrow?” Sensing the weird atmosphere, Javier hurriedly stepped forward in an attempt to drive Alyssa away. “As you can see, we have guests at home now, so it’s not quite the right time.” Alyssa’s initially smiling eyes abruptly grew cold. Just as she was about to speak, Jasper unexpectedly grabbed her wrist and led her upstairs before everyone.

His grip was so strong that she couldn’t break free.

“What are you doing. Jasper? Let go!” Alyssa’s cheeks flushed, and she tried hard to break free, but it was in vain.

Once Jasper made up his mind, nothing could stop him.

“Oh my!” Rosie covered her mouth, full of excitement. In her thoughts, she considered Jasper to be exceedingly domineering but found Alyssa to be remarkably adorable.

*Jasper! Jasper, where are you going? Come back!” No matter how much Javier shouted, Jasper didn’t even turn around. Soon, he led Alyssa away and disappeared from the hall.

The Harpers were left stranded in place. Since the male lead had left, they didn’t know how to continue the play. Instantly, the scene became awkward.

Zoe, in particular, glared with intense hatred, her eyes reddening.

Whenever Alyssa appeared, no matter where or who was around, she would immediately become the center of attention. She was the only female lead.

At this moment, Zoe suddenly understood something.

Her hatred for Alyssa might not only be because she was the woman Jasper loved and her love rival What she hated and envied even more was the charm radiating from Alyssa and the pride that no one In Zoe’s world, there could only be one sun-herself. How could she tolerate someone shining brighter than her and overshadowing her?

“Dad, Mom, I’m back.” Betty rushed over, panting.

Since she was meeting people, she deliberately changed into a decent new outfit. But she had a sleepy look, with dark circles under her eyes.

Her body reeked of alcohol, and her pale face had overly red lips, making her look like a ghost who had just eaten a child.

Seeing her daughter in such a state, Sophia felt so embarrassed that she wanted to flush Betty down the toilet. What a shame!

“Betty, where did you go? Why do you reek of alcohol?” Javier frowned, scrutinizing her.

“Oh… I had a small gathering with friends… Hiccup!” Betty couldn’t hold back and let out a loud hiccup.

“Someone, help Ms. Betty upstairs to rest!” Sophia quickly gave the order.

“Oh my! Zoe!” Being intoxicated, Betty ran directly to Zoe, looking at her with a smiling face.

“Congratulations! You’re about to marry Jasper and become my sister-in-law!

“After all the scheming, driving away Liana, and getting rid of Alyssa, you’re finally marrying him. Hahaha!” Cornelius’s frown tightened.

Meanwhile, Penelope’s and Zoe’s faces turned pale and stiff.

“Betty, what do you mean by that? Are you mocking me, or are you playing drunk?” Zoe was already angry. After being provoked by Betty, she blurted out, “I know what you’re thinking. You want to marry Landon. You asked me to help match you two, but I didn’t. So you resent me.”

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 777-At the mention of it, Cornelius’ look at Betty underwent a change, accompanied by a disapproving click of his tongue.

Fortunately, Landon had good judgment and didn’t take a liking to this impudent woman before him.

Otherwise, it would have been a misfortune for the family.

“You…” Betty was infuriated, staring wide-eyed.

Zoe sneered. “Even if you’re upset, there’s nothing you can do. After all, Landon just doesn’t fancy you.” Betty covered her chest and laughed, a mix of anger in her amusement. “It goes both ways, doesn’t it?

Jasper doesn’t fancy you either.” “You…” Zoe was the one burning with anger this time.

“When I came back, I saw Alyssa’s limited edition Bugatti parked at the gate. It seems she’s already here.” With hands on her hips, Betty yawned. “I see that Jasper isn’t here. Did he go with Alyssa, leaving you stranded here again?” “Betty Beckett!” Zoe’s eyes turned red, wishing she could pounce on Betty and rip her mouth apart.

“Oh, Zoe, Jasper is always like that. You’ll get used to it when you marry him.” The more Betty said, the more excited she became. “You see, when he married Alyssa, he had his eye on Liana. Even if he marries you, he won’t let go of Alyssa.

“Men are like that. They have a wife at home but still yearn for someone else.

Alyssa spent three years adjusting little by little. Since you like Jasper so much, you should adapt faster than her, right?” Everyone was so shocked that their eyeballs almost popped out.

This was no longer just a simple argument but outright verbal sparring!

If it weren’t for the presence of the elders from both families, Zoe would have already engaged in a brawl with Betty.

“Betty! Did you have too much to drink? What nonsense are you talking about?” Sophia was agitated. With a reddened face, she roared, “Hurry up and take Ms.

Betty away!” “Jasper! Let go! Let go of me!” T/2 In Zoe’s world, there could only be one sun-herself. How could she tolerate someone shining brighter than her and overshadowing her?

“Dad, Mom, i’m back.” Betty rushed over, panting.
