Can't Win Me Back Chapter 1075
Later on, Alyssa learned that her troublesome classmate had dropped out of school just three days after the incident.The family's business faced bankruptcy, and her father was incarcerated. Upon realizing the wrongs she had committed against Alyssa, her mother lived in perpetual anxiety.In the end, she succumbed to a bout of serious illness. As such, it was a miracle that Winston hadn't done anything to Jasper yet. It was Alyssa who was the creator of this miracle. If it weren't for her telling him over and over not to touch Jasper, he might have already sent someone to assassinate him!He probably wouldn't need to get the job done personally. Jonah and Axel would most likely have already gotten rid of Jasper. "Dad, at the end of the day, I am also hugely responsible for the failure of the marriage." Alyssa didn't address him by his name again. She had a serious look on her face, making it obvious that she was very persistent and earnest about this relationship. "Back

Alyssa picked the medicine bottle up and took a closer look. The next moment, she covered her mouth in utter shock. She was on the verge of tears."Cerebral ischemic stroke. This medication is to treat cerebral ischemic stroke. Lovelace Pharmaceuticals developed this and only produced a limited amount yearly. Even people loaded with money can't buy it."Mandy looked at Winston painfully. Her heartache was hard to conceal. "However, this year, the medication couldn't stabilize his condition anymore. When your father fell sick twice at the beginning of last year, he pulled through with this medication.""D-Did all of you know about this? Am I the only one who is clueless?" Tears streamed down Alyssa's face. Her heart was shattered."No. Jonah and Silas don't know either. Your father didn't want to tell all of you. He was afraid you would panic and worry.Mandy squatted down. She took a square silk handkerchief and dabbed the sweat from Winston's forehead. "Lyse, don't be angry at yo

Alyssa's eyelashes cast a shadow under the light as she lowered her head.Back then, she thought Jameson was genuinely concerned for her father. Now, she felt he had ulterior motives.He was willing to murder her sister and brother-in-law. Her father was nothing, but another body count to him.Jameson was a vicious man all along.He desired her so badly. However, he was unwilling to mess with her before getting her and fulfilling his desire."My dad is fine. He is as vigorous as a tiger."A cold smile hung on Alyssa's face. "He doesn't say no to food, though. His stomach isn't the strongest and often gives him problems. He probably had a craving, ate something he shouldn't, and had a stomachache. You don't need to worry about it. Go home.""Really? But I saw how terrible Uncle Winston looked. His head was hurting badly. It looked serious. It seemed like a cerebral ischemic stroke or something like that …""Jameson, are you cursing my father?" Alyssa interrupted lowly. A sharp

Tears welled up in Jameson's eyes. He bit his lip until it turned white. He played a man who felt wronged and pitiful from being misunderstood by the love of his life so well. He was so immersed in playing this character that he had forgotten—he was the man who brought Alyssa these deadly troubles.Alyssa stared at him. Inexplicable emotions swirled in her lifeless eyes."What happened? Can you tell me, Lyse? What did I do to have caused such a misunderstanding? Even if I were to die, I need to die with proper closure!" Jameson kept asking questions. His forehead was dripping with cold sweat.The elegant and dignified Jameson Schmidt had never been so disheveled.Alyssa knew she wouldn't be able to get anything out of him all along. Her statements were a calculated warning to Jameson, intending to apply pressure. She aimed to induce panic, hoping he might inadvertently reveal something. She also wanted to use this cruel way to tell him to stop having fantasies of her. They woul

Alyssa had her back facing Jameson. She didn't say a single word.She had trouble untangling her messy thoughts. As she was about to enter the house, the door opened."Mandy?" Alyssa was shocked to see Mandy come out.Mandy smiled at her. Her face turned glum when she looked at Jameson. "Mr. Jameson, my husband wants to see you. Please.""What did you say? Dad wants to see him?"Alyssa's eyes widened. She tried her best to calm herself down. "He is sick. What is he trying to do?"Helplessness swirled in Mandy's eyes. "Your dad asked for this, so I am merely relaying the message.""Thank you for inviting me in personally, Mrs. Taylor."Jameson subtly adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, and a dark glint flickered in his eyes. An unconscious smile graced his lips. …After Jameson entered Heightsnew Villa, Mandy escorted him to the study to meet Winston.The Taylors usually entertained guests in the guest room or parlor. After all, to a man, the study was as sacred and private as

"You're awake, Lyse." Jasper's voice was gentle and coy. She could practically get pregnant with that voice in her ear.Yet, she felt oddly secure."I'm not tired." Alyssa got up and went to the balcony. She looked up at the moon in the warm evening breeze."Are you finding it hard to sleep after leaving me? No one is there to cuddle with you." Jasper chuckled."Pfft, of course not! A man does not consume my everything." Alyssa's face was burning up, but she was stubborn with her words."But Lyse, you are my everything."Her heart beat wildly at Jasper's sudden declaration of affection. She felt her body was burning up and was about to reach boiling point.She missed him so much.She had been fine without the call. Now that she had heard his voice, she longed for him endlessly."What did you do today?" She switched the topic."Apart from breathing, every second was dedicated to thinking about you.""Jasper, it's fine to sweet talk. But too much of it is like having too much

Alyssa kept her family company. She brought Winston for his medical checkup. While doing that, she secretly deployed the subsequent plan.They couldn't neglect Winston's illness. So, Alyssa and Winston's three wives contemplated long and hard before deciding to inform Jonah and Silas to return and see Winston. After all, Jonah and Silas were the eldest sons in the family. They had to take up this responsibility.Then, Mandy asked Julien to come over and manage Winston's medical condition.Alyssa was an excellent surgeon. However, Julien was an expert in neurology.After a series of checks, Julien held the CT scan and patiently explained it to Alyssa and the rest. The Taylors surrounded him and listened to him attentively.Jonah was the only one standing furthest from the group, upright and tall. He glanced lightly at Julien in a white coat, explaining with a straight face to the patient's family.A subtle gleam sparkled in his eyes, and a faint smile adorned his lips, reminiscent

Alyssa casually took a sip of water and suggested, "Why don't you attend the horse racing event with Lyla?"Caught by surprise, Winston had not anticipated the request from his daughter. Lyla immediately explained as she blushed in nervousness, "L-Lyse, I turn down these social events because they give me the jitters. I'm not good at small talk and might make blunders. It might be better if Mandy attends. Colene could be an excellent choice as well."Alyssa poked through the lie, "But you seemed quite happy when you attended mass. It was crowded there, too.""I …" Lyla pressed her lips until they paled."Winston, bring Lyla with you. I can't possibly attend the race with you every single year. The media will make an issue out of it again," Mandy advised after seemingly catching onto Alyssa's plan.Winston furrowed his brows and looked at Lyla deeply. He inquired in a hushed voice, "Lyla, are you upset?"Lyla shook her head vehemently.He gently took her trembling hands under the

"Mr. Lexington," the doctor greeted respectfully, lowering his head slightly. Everyone at the base knew who Sheryl and Remy were. They were the ones in charge, the decision-makers. So, everyone obeyed their orders without question. To the staff unaware of the facility's true purpose, Sheryl and Remy stood at the pinnacle of the hierarchy. Unbeknownst to them, someone more powerful lurked in the shadows."How has she been these past few days?" Remy asked, his expression unreadable."She's had some adverse reactions, but there are no signs of organ failure yet. Honestly, I'm surprised. She looks frail, but her body is incredibly resilient—stronger than some men, even."The doctor scoffed. "But I'm not sure if she'll make it past her fourth injection today. Last month, four test subjects didn't survive beyond that point. Their bodies have already been sent to the incinerator." Remy's jaw tensed. His voice was husky as he said, "As I've instructed, this woman must be kept alive.

Xavier seethed as he took in the insincere smile on Justin's face. Deep down, he was cursing him with every profanity imaginable. "Whatever makes you happy."Ignoring Justin's dark gaze, Jasper kept his eyes fixed ahead as he strode past him.Out of nowhere, Justin chuckled and asked, "Did you really think you had people on your side during the board meeting?"Jasper halted, his eyes narrowing. "Grandpa tried his best to shield you, but his health is failing by the day. How much longer do you think an old man can protect you?"Lowering his gaze, Justin idly adjusted the ruby cufflinks on his sleeves. His voice was casual yet cutting. "And Lyse—after how ruthlessly you discarded her, do you still believe she'll stand by you no matter what? That she'll fight alongside you like before?"The intense midday sun accentuated the sharp, aloof, and pallid features of Jasper's face as he stood, unyielding, in its glare. His pulse quickened. Finally, he answered, his voice a low rasp. "R

As the board meeting concluded, the crowd gradually dispersed.News of Justin securing his position as president and Alyssa joining the board quickly spread through Beckett Group.After the meeting, Alyssa escorted Newton back to Crescent Bay while Jasper remained at the corporation to handle some matters.With Xavier accompanying him, Jasper strode toward the chairman's office, his expression cold and unreadable.Nearby, a few employees huddled together, whispering."Psst! Do you think Alyssa joining the board means she's teaming up with Jasper to take down our new president?""People have been saying they broke up since they haven't been seen together for a while," another speculated."But at the press conference, Alyssa openly condemned Mr. Justin. That looked like she was siding with Jasper. So, are they still together or not?""Come on, to people like them, personal feelings don't matter—only their own interests do. Even if they broke up, they can still work together if it

When Jonah reached the bedside, he leaned in slowly, giving Julien an unobstructed view of his tanned skin, well-defined abs, and that devastatingly captivating face. Reclining against the headboard, Julien found himself lost in Jonah's eyes. His breath hitched, and his mind momentarily blanked as Jonah's mesmerizing gaze locked onto him. What could he do? His heart still betrayed him, a frantic drumbeat against his ribs. He was a fool—a pathetic fool. Jonah braced his arms on either side of Julien's head, his dark eyes overflowing with a raw, possessive affection. It was as if he sought to consume Julien—just as he had last night."Julien, does it still hurt—" "Fuck you!" Julien's bloodshot eyes blazed as he swung his hand, landing a sharp slap across Jonah's face. The illusion of his frailty shattered. A crimson handprint bloomed on Jonah's cheek in a split second, the flesh puffing up visibly. But the sting barely registered. Not when the ache in Jonah's chest was alr

Justin frowned as a hint of surprise flashed across his dark eyes. He had assumed Newton's unannounced appearance at the board meeting—along with Alyssa's involvement—was a coordinated effort with Jasper to overthrow him as president. After mentally running through hundreds of countermeasures, the one possibility he hadn't considered was that everything would proceed smoothly in his favor. Javier was equally stunned, though this outcome aligned with his desires. Today, Justin wasn't merely his son but a constant shadow looming over him, a silent predator watching his every move and reminding him that his past actions weren't completely buried. Instead, this secret loomed like a ticking time bomb that could detonate at any moment, obliterating everything he'd built. And the person holding the detonator was Justin—his eldest son whom he had trusted above all others. With a dim gaze, Javier watched Justin rise to his feet amid the applause. Suddenly, Justin's voice seemed distant,

Justin curled his lips into a smirk, scoffing in silence. Newton had gone to great lengths to bring Alyssa into Beckett Group. This was his way of decentralizing power and keeping it in check, and he wanted to prevent Justin from having complete control. Unlike others, Javier couldn't hold himself back. He blew his top instantly, his face turning red like a tomato. "Dad, have you lost your mind? Don't you know who she is? She is KS Group's president—our direct competitor!"KS Group is also bidding for Project A5. No matter how much you favor her, you should at least recognize the limits. If you promote her, it's a blatant conflict of interest—outright cronyism!" Newton sneered. "I might understand your concern if I were promoting someone other than Alyssa."His gaze hardened. "Cronyism? A conflict of interest? I wonder who you're really talking about."With those words, he cast a knowing, enigmatic glance at Justin's blank expression. Just then, a board member from Javier's

Despite his age, Newton exuded the same energy and sharpness he had in his younger days, even when surrounded by the board members brimming with vigor. Despite his quiet presence in the wheelchair, an intimidating atmosphere clung to him. In an instant, Javier was transported back to the days when he worked under Newton's strict supervision."Good day, Mr. Javier and all fellow board members. I assume no one has any objections to my presence at this meeting?"Newton's gaze swept across the room, a perfunctory smile gracing his lips."Of course not. You are part of the corporation's board of directors!" the members responded immediately.Newton nodded. "Much has happened within the corporation lately. Our shares have been fluctuating amid the controversy. "As you all know, I had intended to retire after dedicating most of my life to this company. I wanted to step aside for the younger generation rather than hover over them like a specter, micromanaging everything. "However,

Jasper's arrival plunged the conference room into an uneasy silence, and heavy tension settled over the space. Justin looked up, his expression a frozen mask. A palpable chill emanated from him. Javier's eyes widened in surprise. "Jasper? What are you doing here?" "Even though I'm no longer the president of Beckett Group, I remain a shareholder and board member. It's only natural for me to be here," Jasper replied smoothly as he strolled to his seat. As he passed behind Justin, he abruptly stopped. Without a moment's notice, he struck the back of Justin's chair. The sudden impact made Justin flinch. "Am I right, Justin?" Justin's expression darkened. Forcing a smile, he replied, "As a board member, you have the right to attend, even if you're no longer involved in operations. There's no issue.""If that's the case, why wasn't I informed about this meeting?" Jasper lowered himself into his seat, legs slightly parted, exuding an air of indifference. Yet, beneath the nonc

Beckett Group was, in essence, Javier's heart and soul, forged from his own labor. "Justin set me up, framed me for drug addiction, and bribed my primary physician to give false testimony—all so he could drag me down. The fact that he dared to target me like this means he's willing to betray anyone."Jasper took a deep breath, forcing down the rage roiling inside him as Javier remained silent. "Fine. Even if you insist this is just a family matter, Justin's reputation is already in ruins, and the corporation's stock prices are fluctuating. Are you really going to stand by him, even now?""Justin has explained everything to me. He wasn't aware of the bribery. That female doctor who worked for him acted on her own. Besides, she's been arrested. The backlash against Justin will settle in time…"Jasper listened, his face unreadable, but his heart clenched painfully. A lump rose in his throat, suffocating him.He had lost his mother at a young age, but he had never longed for his fa
