Can't Win Me Back Chapter 1122
An hour ago, Zoe called Cornelius' confidant, Max Horatio, to a secluded place, and the two secretly conspired."Mr. Horatio, you've been with our family for a long time. I've known you since I was a child when you worked for my grandpa. I know your loyalty to our family," Zoe said, her eyes filled with tears and appearing pitiful."Yes, Ms. Zoe. I've watched you grow up. Your family has been kind to me. I'm willing to do anything for you." Max pledged solemnly, then worriedly asked, "Ms. Zoe, is there ... something wrong? You look terrible."So, Zoe fabricated a story, turning the truth upside down. She portrayed herself as the victim of Alyssa's bullying."Not only that ... she even wants to steal my fiancé."Zoe started to sob. "Jasper and I have a deep affection for each other, and we were about to get engaged ... But Alyssa stole my fiancé from me."If I can't get engaged to Jasper, I'll become the laughingstock of the entire Solana City. How can I face people in the future?

"Learning is an endless process, Jasper. If you're not good at it, you can learn. I can be your teacher. Don't worry. I'll only teach you." Landon nudged Jasper with a playful expression."Landon, I feel a bit uneasy." Jasper's mood inexplicably turned heavy. He raised his hand and loosened his tie."I feel uneasy, too. I can't even look at Jamebitch without wanting to throw up my dinner from last night." Landon made a disgusted face."No, not that … I just feel like something is about to happen."Jasper's gaze was deep. He wasn't sure if it was due to excessive concern, but he felt an unexplainable oppression.He didn't mind if Alyssa didn't win first place. He just wanted her to return safely to his side. That was the most important matter."Josh, Jimmy keeps talking to the Taylors. It seems like he's really ingratiating himself with Mr. Taylor."Worried, Daisy whispered to Josh, "Mr. Taylor wouldn't really want to marry his daughter to Jimmy, right? That would be a disaster!

Only about 100 feet were left, and the Harper Group's horse was leading.Cornelius was so excited that his hands trembled as he gripped his cane. Meanwhile, Preston had walked up to Ezzo and Zeke, ready to shake hands and celebrate.At this moment, Alyssa completely disregarded the outcome of the race. She was only concerned about Blaze's safety.Just when the foreign equestrian thought victory belonged to him and was already waving to the audience, a gust of wind swept past him. It was so fast that he couldn't even see it clearly.Following that, thunderous applause erupted from the crowd."Horse number five breaks through the finish line first! Congratulations to KS Group and Ms. Alyssa for winning the championship!"Led by Winston, the Taylors burst into excited cheers."Lyse! You're amazing! Lyse!" Even the usually soft-spoken Lyla shouted joyfully.Jonah had a beaming smile, clapping until his hands turned red.On the other hand, Cornelius, who had just seen his major pro

"Yes, it's me ... Lyse, it's me." Jasper's mind buzzed, and his voice was hoarse.He tightly embraced the trembling Alyssa as if she might vanish into thin air if he loosened his grip. His heart felt like it was shattering into pieces. "Lyse ... Tell me where it hurts. Quickly.""Blaze ... Blaze."Regaining her ability to think, Alyssa immediately thought of the poor little creature. She struggled to break free from Jasper's embrace and rushed toward Blaze, who was lying on the ground and gasping for breath."Lyse! Come back!" Jasper called out to her with all his might, his heart tightening. At once, he followed her.Just then, medical staff, Jonah, and Neil arrived. Despite their numbers, they couldn't stop the anxious Alyssa.Beneath the stage, the image of Jasper rushing onto the track, cradling the injured Alyssa, left the spectators both shocked and deeply moved."Oh, my God! Is that frightened man the Mr. Beckett I know? This is unbelievable!""I never thought I'd see Ja

"Blaze ... Why did you force yourself? I told you to stop. Why didn't you listen?"Jasper stood stiffly by Alyssa's side, watching the heartbreaking sight of her being deeply distressed for her horse. His heart ached with her as well.She was inherently kind. What he loved most was her pure and kind soul.The horse trainer quickly arrived and immediately conducted a detailed examination of Blaze and Alyssa.Soon, they discovered the problem.Blaze's left leg had a long and narrow knife wound!The wound was located on the backside of its leg, so it was well-concealed. Neither Alyssa nor the horse trainer noticed it due to the rush to enter the arena.Moreover, it was evident that this injury was intentional.Initially, proper treatment and bandaging could have avoided significant harm. However, after galloping for miles hysterically, the wound had deteriorated dramatically.The pus and its dark fur merged into one, and the injury had become so severe that it was deep enough to

Alyssa raised her sweaty face, beaming at Jasper. Her eyes revealed a hint of admiration. But she wouldn't tell him that. She feared he might become too proud."Lyse! How are you?"At this moment, Jameson hurried over, followed by Carl and several members of Solana City's top surgical medical team, all wearing white coats. Jameson had dispatched them at the fastest speed."Mr. Atkins, Mr. Benton, please take Blaze in and have the tools ready. I want to perform the surgery myself."Alyssa stood up with Jasper's support, calmly stating, "Also, I need a steel plate to fix my waist. Nothing else for now.""Okay, I'll help you before the surgery." Jasper's voice was hoarse, and his heart ached for her once again.The two of them walked past Jameson. None of them spoke to him or even glanced at him. They treated him as if he were invisible.This kind of disregard was more unbearable for Jameson than having his throat slashed with a knife."Lyse ... Lyse!"No matter how Jameson calle

Jonah took care of the tasks Alyssa assigned and returned with a stern face.Before Winston and Lyla could speak, Zeke rushed up, asking with concern, "Mr. Jonah, how is Ms. Alyssa? Is she seriously injured?""Thanks for your concern, Mr. Zeke. My sister is fine for now. Apart from a few superficial injuries, the injury to her waist is a bit severe, but Mr. Beckett has already treated her. Right now, he's accompanying her to rest in the infirmary," Jonah replied with a smile, but his expression didn't appear relaxed.When Zeke heard that Jasper was with Alyssa, his expression darkened."Phew ... Thank God, and may God bless her." Ezzo showed his kindness, making the sign of the cross over his chest.Meanwhile, Winston's pale complexion eased a bit. With Lyla's support, he slowly sat down. However, he remained anxious and abruptly stood up again, preparing to go see his daughter.Suddenly, Preston frowned and spoke, "Oh, how's the horse?"Silence fell among the group."Mr. Prest

Preston felt extremely embarrassed since everyone was looking. His face fell."Lyse! You're okay! Thank goodness!" Lyla, with tears in her eyes, was overjoyed.Meanwhile, Winston was unconcerned about business matters anymore. He heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing that Alyssa was unharmed. The typically composed tycoon, who remained unfazed even in the face of major challenges, had his suit drenched in cold sweat at this moment.He looked toward Jasper, who had steadfastly stood by his daughter's side. Jasper's gentle eyes were filled with nothing but concern for her.When the accident happened, Jasper rushed to Alyssa without hesitation. That genuine care from the depths of his heart was definitely not an act.As the president of Beckett Group, Jasper's every move and action was scrutinized. It might lead to criticism and even ruin his reputation, but he didn't care. It was as if he could give up his crown, but not Alyssa.In a moment of reverie, Winston thought of Alyssa's bio

"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
