Ch. 851..860

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 851-"Being the center of attention is not what matters. What matters is that Mr.

Beckett likes it."

Since Alyssa was not too far away, she could distinctly hear Renee's words. She raised her eyebrows slightly.

Julien looked at Renee's pretentious look, and the nausea he had just suppressed seemed to rise again.

"Renee, do your best. Be considerate to Mr. Beckett, and he'll gradually be moved by you."

Dominic didn't forget to belittle Alyssa. He sneered. "You're my daughter. No matter what, you're better than that divorced Alyssa. Renee, be confident. You're not inferior to Alyssa at all.

"It's just that you and Mr. Beckett lack a bit of fate, but that's not important. Fate can be created. Alyssa and Mr. Beckett embody the essence of a complete lack of fate. Otherwise, why would they be divorced?"

As Alyssa listened silently to the father and daughter's big words, her cool face showed no emotion.

Meanwhile, Julien stared at Dominic and his daughter leaving the parking lot with wide eyes.

"Jasper … is your ex-husband?"

"Yeah, I should have told you earlier. Anyway, it's not a secret." Alyssa was cool about it, not thinking that it was anything serious.

"You're such a model ex-wife." Julien couldn't help teasing her.

"Others want to strangle each other after a divorce, but you still try to cure your ex-husband? Is it that you can't forget him, or do you have something in his hands?"

"I just want to be accountable, that's all. Let's go."

Expressionlessly, Alyssa took steps toward the hotel.

Julien looked at her resolute and cold retreating figure. Although she was just a girl in her early 20s, she seemed like a sword that could cut through the storm.

He couldn't help but smirk. "Alyssa, you're becoming more and more interesting."

Dominic met an acquaintance on his way to the hall and started a conversation, leaving Renee to arrive at the banquet hall entrance first.

She arrogantly took out her invitation and handed it to the staff at the door.

"This way, Ms. Renee."

"Thank you."

As Renee smoothed her long hair and was about to enter, the resonant click of high heels echoed from behind.

She turned in surprise, and her pupils suddenly contracted.

Alyssa and Julien were walking side by side toward the banquet hall.

Seeing that, Renee clenched her teeth, and her gaze turned cold.

How could this woman suddenly appear here? She hadn't heard anything about this at all.

Also, who was the tall and hot supermodel-looking man beside her? He was too good-looking! Was he her new pet or lover?

"Oh my, Lyse! I didn't expect to see you here!" Renee changed her expression in a second, warmly greeting Alyssa.

Seeing that, Julien sneered disdainfully. If he hadn't witnessed Dominic and Renee's arrogant conversation in the parking lot earlier, he would have thought her relationship with Alyssa was good.

This was why he was reluctant to return to the country. The relationships in these wealthy families were too chaotic and hypocritical.

"Why not? If you can come, can't I?" Alyssa didn't look at her. She smirked with an air of dominance.

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 852-Renee remarked, "Look at the way you're putting it. Lyse, aren't you always lowkey? You never attend such public events."

"Oh? Then you'll have to get used to it," Alyssa retorted.

Alyssa narrowed her eyes at Renee with an intriguing expression. "From now on, I'll frequently appear in public. I think we should meet often to catch up."

Renee's face showed an awkward smile, but she was exploding with anger on the inside.

"Miss, please show your invitation," the staff politely asked Alyssa.

"I don't have an invitation," Alyssa said openly.

Renee covered her mouth and laughed sardonically. She finally found a chance to turn the tables.

"Lyse, has it been a long time since you attended such high-end events? Don't you know you need an invitation to enter? You're causing trouble for the staff like this."

The staff also looked awkward. "I'm sorry, miss. You can't enter without an invitation."

"I'm Alyssa Taylor," Alyssa said indifferently.

The word "Alyssa Taylor" was like a thunderbolt, stunning the two staff members.

In the past, Alyssa might have said, "My father is Winston Taylor," to make things more convenient.

But now, after causing several city-wide shocks in Solana City, her name alone was powerful enough. There was no need to bring out her father.

"O-Oh, it's Ms. Alyssa. I apologize."

"It's okay. I have something urgent and want to see Mr. Beckett. It's my fault for this sudden visit anyway."

Alyssa became humble, giving a slight smile. "Since I don't have an invitation, I shouldn't enter. My apologies."

"No, no. This way, Ms. Alyssa." The staff members were extremely courteous, a complete change from their attitude toward Renee.

"Thank you. Mr. Lovelace here is my friend. Can he join me?" Alyssa asked, smiling.

"Of course, of course. This way."

Alyssa and Julien were led into the banquet hall with great respect.

Meanwhile, Renee stood alone in place, stomping her foot. Her face was flushed with anger.

Throughout her life, no matter how hard she tried and how well she did, every time Alyssa appeared, the latter would steal all the attention.

On the other hand, Jasper and Landon were heading toward the banquet hall together.

"How's Lauren doing recently?" Despite his expressionless face, Jasper was concerned about his sister's well-being.

"She's doing well. I plan to clear my busy schedule and take her to recuperate in Swizo."

Whenever Lauren was mentioned, Landon's eyes were filled with tenderness and anticipation for the future.

"I've contacted a professor in psychology who can help Lauren overcome autism and trauma."

"Trauma? What trauma?" Jasper stopped in his tracks, asking in confusion.

"I don't know either. This is what Angelina told me. She thinks Lauren must have suffered some trauma before. I think it might be related to Betty.

"After all, Lauren was always bullied by that bitch in your home. Anyone would be traumatized in that situation."

Landon narrowed his eyes, and a chilling, intense gleam flashed within them.

"But it doesn't matter anymore. I've already helped Lauren get revenge.

"With me around, if that bitch, Betty, dares to lay a finger on Lauren again, I'll pull out each of her teeth, shave her head, and kill her."

"What did you do to Betty?" Jasper asked with a cool look.

"Why? Do you care about her?"

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 853-Jasper responded, "I'm just curious."

"I didn't do much. I just disfigured her," Landon revealed.

When Landon recalled the pitiful state Betty was in when she was tortured in the warehouse that day, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Oh, no wonder. I was wondering why I hadn't seen her lately. She's probably too embarrassed to show her face in public anymore."

Jasper nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly looked at Landon seriously. "During this time when you've been staying with Lauren, you didn't do anything to her, did you?"

At this question, Landon's heart skipped a beat.

He suddenly recalled the scene from last night where he and Lauren were entangled in the bathroom, kissing as if they couldn't bear to part. At once, he felt a rush of heat from his lower abdomen.

Just as he was unsure how to answer, Xavier urgently ran over from the other end of the corridor.

"M-Mr. Beckett, Ms. Alyssa is here."

Hearing that, Landon widened his eyes and looked at Jasper.

Meanwhile, upon hearing that Alyssa was here, Jasper seemed to be in a daze and asked again, "Who's here?"

"Ms. Alyssa. Alyssa Taylor. She's in the banquet hall right now." Xavier was ecstatic and couldn't stop grinning.

That was because he hadn't seen his boss' wife for quite some time.

He didn't know whether Jasper missed her, but Xavier missed her quite a bit.

"Jasper, is Lyse here to see you? Damn, your patience paid off!" Landon excitedly patted Jasper on the shoulder.

"Many elite figures in Solana City will be at the cocktail party tonight."

Suppressing his emotions, Jasper said solemnly, "She might just be here to expand her social network. After all, she will inherit the Taylor family business."

"My goodness. Why don't you think positively for once? You're really something else."

Landon turned to Xavier and asked, "Did Lyse come alone, or did she come with Jonah?"

Xavier replied, "Neither. She came with a stranger."

"Is it that bastard, Schmidt?" Landon thought of Jameson and couldn't help but get angry.

"No, it's not him. It's a guy who looks … exceptionally beautiful, somewhat androgynous."

Although Xavier only glanced at Julien from a distance, the latter left a deep impression because of his extraordinary appearance.

Upon hearing this, Jasper had a surge of emotions.

It wasn't one of Alyssa's brothers, not Jameson, and not even someone that Xavier knew.

He thought he had completely given up on Alyssa. However, whenever there was something related to her, he couldn't ignore it.

Jasper quickened his pace toward the banquet hall.

Upon entering, he saw Alyssa standing in the crowd like a bright star. She was dazzling and eyecatching.

She wore a black tailored high-end suit, exuding a cool presence. Her beguiling yet refined crimson lips enraptured him.

At this moment, his forcibly suppressed heart began to beat even more vigorously.

Landon swiftly sidestepped, blending into the shadows to become virtually unseen.

In the past, he loved to appear ostentatiously at such events. But since he had a wife, especially in places with many women, he avoided them as much as possible. He kept himself hidden away as if he were a virgin.

Once the playboy stopped playing, it would be impossible to make him return to the field unless something major happened.

Meanwhile, Alyssa also noticed Jasper.

To her, he was like a flickering flame in the dark. Even if she closed her eyes, she couldn't ignore his presence, which made her shiver.

It was really annoying.

How exactly could she make him completely disappear from her heart?

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 854-There were many people around.

But the moment when Jasper and Alyssa made eye contact, it seemed as if everything fell silent, and all the noise around them disappeared.

Seeing her crush, Renee was so excited that her eyes lit up.

She quickly took out her powder compact and touched up her makeup. Then she walked toward Jasper excitedly.

However, she had only walked halfway when several socialites crowded around, pushing her to the outermost circle.

Renee anxiously clutched her dress.

Why was it so difficult to get close to Jasper?

But Alyssa had secretly married this outstanding man. Why was God so unfair?

Why did Alyssa get all the good things?

The more Renee thought about it, the more annoyed and unfair she felt. She angrily squeezed her way to the front.

Jasper was just right in front of her. After thinking briefly, she pretended to be unsteady. With a shout, she directly threw herself at Jasper.

At once, Jasper frowned. He had wanted to dodge, but with people on all sides, there was nowhere to evade. As a result, Renee crashed into his arms.

The sweet and nauseating scent of perfume overwhelmed him, making him dizzy. He felt the urge to kick her aside.

"Mr. Beckett, I'm so sorry. I lost my balance for a moment. I'm really sorry."

Renee pressed her hands against his chest, acting coquettish, but she was overjoyed inside.

No man could resist a woman who took the initiative to throw herself into his arms, especially such a beautiful woman.

However, the instant Renee lifted her eyes to meet Jasper's gaze, she shivered.

At the same time, she had goosebumps all over her body.

His incredibly charming eyes showed no emotion as they coldly stared at her.

She felt as though she had fallen into an icy abyss.

At this moment, Sophia and Betty happened to walk down the stairs, witnessing the scene.

Betty had just fixed her face. However, she hadn't fully recovered, so she had to conceal the scars on her face with thick makeup.

"Who's that woman who threw herself at Jasper?" Sophia yawned.

Just last night, she had a date with the handsome young doctor while Javier was overseas. They played "poker" all night, and her waist still hurt a bit.

She felt that young people were indeed the best.

Sophia even thought that meeting the doctor had rejuvenated her.

"Let me see."

Betty squinted and carefully observed before recalling, "Oh, her name is Renee.

She's from the Taylor family."

"The Taylor family? Why do they keep producing these vixens?" Sophia felt annoyed as soon as she heard the Taylor family's name and quickly classified Renee.

Indeed, those of the same kind could always recognize each other most accurately.

"She's a daughter from a branch of the Taylor family. Her father is Winston's younger brother, but he only holds a nominal position in the company and doesn't have much power.

"So, no matter how she tosses around in the circle, she can't make much of an impact."

Betty said with a hint of disdain, "I didn't even recognize her at first glance. I heard she's addicted to plastic surgery, and she probably went for another touch-up."

Sophia could see that Renee was no pushover either. She couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "How's her relationship with Alyssa?"

"I heard they don't get along."

"Interesting."

Sophia yawned again, showing a carefree attitude as if watching a show. "Sigh, that Harper family girl didn't come tonight. If she had come, there would have been an even bigger show. Watching a good show is the best thing to do."

Betty knew that Cornelius was exerting a lot of effort behind the scenes to get Zoe to marry into their family. In such a critical moment, Zoe needed to keep a low profile so she wouldn't attend an event like tonight's.

Thinking about Zoe becoming her sister-in-law, Betty couldn't help but feel troubled. She even lost sleep over it.

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 855-On second thought, Zoe could help Betty get revenge against Lauren and Landon. She found some solace in this thought.

However, as Betty's eyes wandered absentmindedly, they fell upon Landon sitting on a sofa in the corner.

She felt traumatized. Instantly, her legs went weak, and she ended up sitting on the stairs.

The people around all turned to look at Betty. Seeing her embarrassed look, they burst into quiet laughter.

"What are you doing?"

Sophia looked at Betty with disdain. "There are so many people watching. Get up quickly."

However, Betty's legs were trembling, and she found it difficult to stand up.

For the first time in her life, she experienced the taste of being threatened, suppressed, and tormented by trauma.

As Betty contemplated Landon, her thoughts swirled with anger, painting him in her mind as an embodiment of malevolence.

Alyssa watched as Renee threw herself at Jasper, and he didn't immediately push her away.

Swiftly coursing through her, a chilling sensation, as if piercing her heart, transformed her expression into one of icy composure.

Julien casually took a sip from his champagne flute and propped his elbow on the table. With a playful gaze, he looked at the lively crowd around Jasper.

He clicked his tongue twice and said, "Alyssa, I now understand why you two divorced. He's too outstanding. Living with him means trouble every day. You won't feel safe at all.

"Look, he should be feeling quite pleased right now. He has probably forgotten about you. You really are going out of your way for him unnecessarily."

"Don't you think you're talking too much nonsense?" Alyssa coldly shot him a glance.

"But this is not nonsense. It's the truth. It's also because you're my cousin that I'm saying all this. Otherwise, I wouldn't even bother talking." Julien smirked playfully.

"Get lost," Jasper said coldly to Renee.

"What? Ah!"

Before Renee could react, Jasper forcefully pushed her away, sending her tumbling backward.

With unstable footing and high heels, she tilted backward and fell.

Seeing that, the two women behind her quickly dodged, letting Renee awkwardly fall to the ground.

At this moment, Dominic happened to walk in from outside with other guests and witnessed his daughter's embarrassment.

"Mr. Dominic, I heard that your daughter is here tonight as well, right?" a nearby guest asked.

Dominic wished he could dig a hole and bury himself.

He regretted bringing Renee here. He had been humiliated before the battle had even begun.

The scene suddenly became somewhat chaotic.

Renee was sitting on the ground, looking completely dumbfounded.

Just then, the unmistakable clicks of high heels approached from behind, each step seemingly treading upon her spine.

"Mr. Beckett."

The voice was melodious and elegant. Yet it violently shook Jasper's heart.

"I-It's Alyssa!"

"It's really Alyssa! Oh, my God! She's even more beautiful in person. Her figure is just perfect!"

"I really love the suit she's wearing. She looks so cool in it. Suddenly, I feel my high-end dress is not as appealing anymore."

"Oh, please. If you had Alyssa's face, you'd look good even in a sack. That suit only looks good on her. No one else could pull it off."

The socialites immediately cleared a path for Alyssa.

Meanwhile, Jasper's eyes were locked on Alyssa. Suppressing the surging desire within him, he walked past Renee ruthlessly.

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 856-It was as though Renee was nothing more than a pile of garbage at his feet.

Renee was completely disoriented, kneeling on the ground and forgetting to stand up.

No compare, no despair.

This comparison had made her experience extreme despair.

"Ms. Alyssa, is there something you want to talk about?" Jasper approached Alyssa. His gaze was profound, and his voice was husky.

"Yes. Can we talk privately?" Alyssa's eyes were calm. Though she was not loud, it was enough for everyone around to hear.

Without hesitation, Jasper replied, "Sure."

The two left together under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

Behind, there were only sounds of surprised sighs, one after another.

They all felt that the two were truly a perfect couple. They were so well-matched that it drew envy.

Alyssa and Jasper arrived at the hotel's back garden.

The cool night breeze scattered her luscious black hair into the air, creating a scene as mesmerizing as a painting.

The two fell into silence. It seemed like there were many things to talk about between them, yet everything was left unspoken.

Even the silence felt heart-wrenching.

"I didn't expect you to come tonight with a new companion."

Jasper broke the silence with his usual harsh words. "I thought you would come with Jameson."

"Why? Are you disappointed that I didn't come with Jimmy?"

Alyssa's eyes narrowed slightly, and she didn't mince her words. "I also didn't expect you to have some acquaintance with my cousin. You seemed quite close just now. Did I ruin something by calling you out here so abruptly?"

She truly was sharp-tongued.

Hearing that, Jasper was so angry that he was unable to catch his breath. His face alternated between red and pale.

"Is this why you called me out here? To say this?"

He coldly smirked. "We've been divorced for a long time. Why are you still so concerned about whom I interact with?"

Smiling, Alyssa wagged her finger. "Jasper, you think too highly of yourself.

Whoever you interact with has nothing to do with me.

"If you're interested in Renee, I can even help you set things up. After all, she's my cousin. We might end up as relatives."

Jasper clenched his fists secretly at her words, his eyes gradually turning red.

No one could provoke him like Alyssa. Alyssa was the one and only.

"But Renee is a Taylor, after all. She can't be your concubine. You should think carefully and choose between Ms. Zoe and Renee. Make a decision and stop wavering."

Those words couldn't be more hurtful.

Jasper felt a sharp pain in his chest. With red-rimmed eyes, he pushed Alyssa against a sturdy tree trunk.

With a sturdy arm propped beside her head, he leaned down, staring at her intently. His eyes were filled with turbulent emotions.

Alyssa's throat instantly went dry. She tightly bit her lip.

She could even feel his muscular contours trembling beneath the black suit, and she dared not maintain eye contact.

"Alyssa, since you've chosen to leave me, you should stay far away. Why do you keep appearing in front of me?"

Jasper's pale lips slowly approached her. His lowered gaze was desolate and ambiguous. "I love you, but that doesn't mean my dignity is at your disposal to be trampled upon repeatedly."

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 857-Even without profanities, Jasper's words were akin to a sharp blade, leaving Alyssa feeling wounded. "Jasper, I've never trampled on your dignity. Wasn't it you who came to me every time after the divorce?"

Alyssa's eyes turned slightly red, but she defiantly wore a smirk that could infuriate anyone. She looked beautiful, yet her demeanor only made hearts ache for her.

"Your dignity is something you didn't want yourself. Now you blame me? Do you have no shame?"

She shouldn't have come. She shouldn't have cared about him.

If only she had known this would happen.

Alyssa thought that Jasper was a scumbag and he deserved whatever that came his way.

Suddenly, Jasper's breathing halted, and he felt a strong dizziness rush to his head. His figure swayed slightly.

"Hey! What are you doing?"

Before the words could settle, a stone hit Jasper right on the back of his head.

Jasper felt a sharp pain, and his brows furrowed.

Meanwhile, Julien had already walked over briskly, reaching out to grab the back of Jasper's collar.

But Jasper, with his skills, was as swift as lightning. He sidestepped in a flash, leaving Julien grasping at thin air.

Julien stumbled forward. With his long limbs, he looked like a praying mantis.

Alyssa, who was initially angry, couldn't help but chuckle at Julien's action.

Frowning, Jasper touched the back of his neck. He tilted his head slightly, radiating a charming yet sinister presence.

"A sneak attack from behind, and that's all you've got?"

"A sneak attack from behind is better than you acting rogue at night."

Julien dusted himself and got up from the ground. He was still a bit shaken by Jasper's reaction earlier. "You're divorced, but you're still touching her. Is this what the mighty Beckett Group's president does?" "What relationship do you have with her?" Jasper glared at Julien.

This weak man dared to lay hands on him for Alyssa. It was evident that he held Alyssa in high regard.

Julien parted his lips but was unsure of how to introduce himself. Just then, Alyssa spoke in a calm voice. "He's Julien Lovelace, a neurologist I brought from Mosgravia."

Neurologist?

Jasper instantly realized something and fell silent.

"I came here this time not for anything else but for your illness." Alyssa stared at Jasper without any unnecessary emotions, just like a doctor looking at a patient.

The distant look in her eyes left Jasper with frustration.

"I'm not ill," he responded coldly.

"You don't need to act tough. You know very well whether you're ill or not."

Alyssa said sternly, "Back then, your head suffered a severe impact. Though I performed surgery, it wasn't entirely successful. When you get emotionally agitated, your body involuntarily trembles, and your movements become uncontrollable.

"Over time, you might experience hallucinations, fainting, and in severe cases, even partial paralysis. Do you want to end up like that? Aren't you afraid Grandpa will be heartbroken if he finds out?"

Julien looked at Alyssa in disbelief.

She performed brain surgery on Jasper? Unbelievable!

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 858-"Dr. Lovelace is a renowned neurologist in Mosgravia. I specifically brought him to Solana City to treat the aftereffects for you."

"Go back. I don't need it," Jasper replied, looking down. He refused outright.

"Jasper, do you think I'm negotiating with you?" Alyssa's eyes widened.

"Do you think I'm negotiating with you, Alyssa?"

Jasper locked eyes with Alyssa. His gaze appeared chillingly indifferent, as if veiled by a layer of ice. "My affairs have nothing to do with you. You don't need to care."

"You … !"

"If you want to continue attending the party, move to the banquet hall. If you only came to talk to me about this, leave with your people."

After saying that, Jasper turned and left expressionlessly without any hesitation or delay.

He acted as if he and Alyssa had never met.

"Asshole! Do you want to die?" Alyssa shouted at his retreating figure, but he didn't stop.

"Jasper! Stop right there! Jasper!"

Jasper gradually walked away, his figure disappearing into the night.

Meanwhile, Alyssa stood there dumbfounded, letting the cold wind hit her body.

She felt the chill seeping through every pore, permeating her entire being.

A tremendous sense of loss crawled up her calves. It was intricate and unavoidable.

"Someone once offered me 100 million to treat them, and I didn't agree. Now, I've presented myself in front of this Mr. Beckett, and he didn't even spare me a glance. Haha."

Julien leaned against a tree trunk, laughing mockingly. "Should I say he's a tough guy or a dumbass?"

"Dumbass," Alyssa said, her eyes reddening.

"Yeah, that's what I thought. I just didn't want to say it."

Julien quietly watched her trembling figure. Suddenly, he asked, "Hey, do you still love him?"

Alyssa's heart felt like it had been pricked with a needle. She clenched her fingers and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"I'm asking if you still love Jasper."

"What is it to you?"

"You still love him," Julien smirked. "You didn't directly answer my question.

That's the answer."

"Julien, given the circumstances, I might as well tell you."

Alyssa turned to face him, speaking each word deliberately. "I once loved him deeply. I even thought my heart could beat for him forever. Even if he didn't love me, I thought I could follow him for a lifetime.

"But now, what I feel more for him is guilt. I don't want to owe him anything, that's all."

With that, she waved her hand with a carefree smile and walked forward. "Let the past go with time."

Julien's heart shook at her words, and his smile gradually froze.

He didn't believe in true love. But if she encountered it, he deeply respected it.

Meanwhile, in the underground parking lot …

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 859-Renee hid in the car, sobbing. Her eyeliner and mascara were smudged. She looked utterly pitiful.

"Enough! What are you crying for? Look at you, so pathetic!" Dominic was furious.

"I made such a fool of myself in front of so many people. What's wrong with shedding a few tears?"

Renee miserably wiped her tears. "Mr. Beckett is really too much. I fell right in front of him. Shouldn't he help me? How could he turn a blind eye?

"He can only see that bitch, Alyssa! His soul is with her!"

When Dominic recalled Jasper's intense gaze and brazen stare at Alyssa, he was infuriated.

"Dad, Mr. Beckett still has feelings for Alyssa. What should I do?" Renee asked tearfully.

"What feelings? They wouldn't have gotten divorced if he truly had feelings for her. If they're divorced, it means he couldn't go on being married to her even for a day."

Dominic sighed, his gaze dark. "Right now, if you want to get close to Jasper, Alyssa isn't the only obstacle. There's also that girl from the Harper family."

Renee thought of Zoe and found it quite troublesome.

Zoe and Jasper's recent hotel rendezvous caused quite a stir. Now, rumors of an alliance between the Harper and Beckett families were rampant.

But she felt that the immature Zoe wasn't worth worrying about.

It was Alyssa who felt like a looming threat, giving her a scalp-tingling sense of danger.

"Yeah … That girl from the Harper family …"

Renee sniffled. "Mr. Beckett is really something. I can understand that he likes Alyssa. But why is he interested in Zoe? Am I inferior to that girl?"

"You're usually quite clever, but how did you become so confused when it comes to important matters?"

Dominic disdainfully clicked his tongue. "Jasper is not interested in Zoe. The hotel meeting might be some scheme of hers, aiming to marry Jasper and become the wife of the Beckett Group's president.

"If Jasper really had feelings for that Harper girl, why hasn't there been an official announcement or declaration? I doubt this alliance will go through."

Renee was enlightened by these words.

She had always listened to her father and knew that he was full of ideas.

Otherwise, in the face of Winston's dominance, he would have had no place to stand long ago.

"If the Harper family can use schemes, why can't we? Right now, it's better to seize the opportunity when it's available."

Dominic narrowed his eyes in deep thought.

Renee hurriedly asked, "Dad, what do you mean?"

"Renee, as the saying goes, 'No pain, no gain.' You have to be shameless to get a wealthy husband."

Dominic patted her shoulder heavily. "If you want to get Jasper, you have to let go of your integrity and make a bold move."

She never had any integrity.

As for the bold move, that was a must.

Without taking risks, how could she climb the social ladder?

Renee held Dominic's arm and spoke coquettishly, "Daddy, my dearest Daddy, do you have any ideas? Tell me quickly."

"With your current situation, there aren't many chances to meet Jasper privately.

So, whenever there's an opportunity, you must firmly seize it."

Dominic whispered in her ear for a while, and Renee's tightly furrowed brows relaxed as enlightenment dawned.

"Understood, Dad. I'm willing to do anything to become Mr. Beckett's woman."

Jasper returned to the party venue with an unpleasant expression.

Landon quickly approached him. After observing him for a moment, he cautiously asked, "What's wrong? You didn't argue with Lyse, did you?"

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 860-"There wasn't much to talk about in the first place." Jasper sat heavily on the sofa. He picked up a glass and downed the champagne in one gulp.

Thoughts of Alyssa left him feeling irritated. He felt suffocated. Jasper's eyes then turned red from the strain.

"You really can't say anything nice. Lyse came to see you, meaning she's not angry anymore. Why didn't you seize the opportunity to win back her favor?

"Do you really want to be my brother-in-law? I represent the Harper family as the first to oppose you marrying into the family." Landon widened his eyes, acting all anxious.

"Landon, do you think I'm the only one who has made mistakes?" Jasper's hand clenching the glass revealed taut veins, as if he were suppressing some tormenting emotion.

"What do you mean? Should Lyse be the one to be blamed?"

"I don't know."

"Jasper, with all the sacrifices Lyse has made for you, you have no right to blame her or be mad at her. If you truly love her, everything she does is right.

Don't try to reason with women. That's just being stupid," Landon spoke bluntly.

While Jasper was lost in thought, footsteps approached them.

"Mr. Beckett, Mr. Harper, nice to meet you."

Both men raised their eyes. Standing before them were Dominic and Renee.

Jasper's gaze turned instantly cold at the sight of the woman.

He didn't say a word but exuded an icy rejection toward the Taylor father and daughter.

Renee, who had cried so miserably in the parking lot just moments ago, had now reapplied her makeup. She even emphasized her eye makeup with a touch of pink to look pitiful and delicate.

Landon didn't know Dominic and was even less familiar with Renee.

However, being a discerning scion of a wealthy family, he knew how to maintain proper manners.

So, he stood up, smiling. "Forgive my ignorance. May I ask who you are?"

"I'm Dominic Taylor, the executive director of KS Group."

Dominic added with a smile, "Oh, by the way, Mr. Beckett has a closer relationship with our Taylor family. After all, he has quite a relationship with my eldest niece."

"Eldest … niece?" Landon was slightly taken aback.

"My elder brother's daughter, Alyssa. Lyse is my niece," Dominic explained with a smile. "She's a cousin to my daughter, Renee. The two of them grew up together, so they're very close."

Landon was greatly surprised.

It turned out that Dominic was Winston's younger brother.

That was entirely unexpected, and it made Landon look at him with newfound respect.

Seeing Landon's expression soften, Renee felt a sense of accomplishment.

Although she was from a branch of the Taylor family, with the support of the Taylor family, she and her father could still enjoy some benefits. Whenever they mentioned the name, others would give them a second look.

"Is there anything you need?" Jasper swirled the champagne in his glass, suddenly breaking the silence with a cold tone.

There was no warmth in his reception, even though they were from the Taylor family.

In fact, he felt an intense aversion to Dominic mentioning Alyssa every now and then, trying to get close to him.

Over the years, as the president of Beckett Group, Jasper had encountered many people with hidden agendas and ill intentions. Although young, he was very discerning when it came to people.

Despite being Winston's younger brother, Dominic was not on par with Winston.
