Can't Win Me Back Chapter 1129
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

The crowd was in shock. They looked at Alyssa in disbelief."Mr. Beckett, are you saying ... Lyse fixed the horse's leg? Can a horse's leg really be reattached?" Victor widened his eyes in amazement."Of course, Mr. Victor. Don't forget, Lyse has another identity." Landon hinted with a smile."Our Lyse is none other than the renowned and worshipped Dr. White! You should know this name better than anyone else."Alyssa was speechless, feeling that Landon was exaggerating."Ah ... Right!"Victor recalled that when David had a car accident, it was Alyssa who performed the surgery on him. Victor excitedly slapped his forehead."Yes, Lyse is Dr. White! She's the benefactor of our family! How could I forget this? Dr. White can mend any bone. Even if it's shattered into pieces, it's as simple as building blocks for her."Hearing that, Alyssa felt a headache coming on. Their description of her was becoming more and more absurd.This was also why she liked using pseudonyms. She disliked

Just then, Jameson walked over slowly. The moment he saw how close Jasper and Alyssa were, pain shot through his heart like bullets—so painful it was soul-crushing.Jameson gripped tightly onto the railing, his other hand clutching his chest right above his heart. It hurt so much.How could it hurt so badly?"What's wrong, Mr. Schmidt? Are you feeling unwell?" Carl was shocked by this. When he went to help support Jameson, the latter quickly shoved away."Scram! Don't touch me!" Jameson snarled."Y-Yes, sir." Carl ducked to the side. He glared at Jasper and Alyssa from a distance.Carl would never complain about how Jameson treated him. He'd only blame Jasper Beckett for making Jameson's life a despairing one, for destroying Jameson's hard-to-come-by happiness."The injury on Blaze's left leg was man-made. It's a narrow and peculiar knife wound," Alyssa said.She exhaled deeply as anger glinted in her eyes. "KS Group's horses are worth millions and are routinely checked eve

"I intended to do so as well," Jonah replied, nodding solemnly.Winston looked at his old friend. "Victor, it would help to have Josh aid in the investigation, given he's the CEO. You wouldn't mind if he aids Jonah, would you?""What's with the politeness? How could I possibly ignore something so serious that's affected Lyse? Help Uncle Winston as much as you can, Josh. You must investigate this thoroughly so Lyse is avenged!" Victor exclaimed.He was secretly grateful for Winston's decision. The police should've been called on to look into such a grave matter, but Winston chose to handle this privately on account of their decades-long friendship.If the police were involved, then so would the media. Since this incident occurred at Schmidt's Racecourses and Alyssa was injured from it, the Schmidt family's reputation would surely be affected if known to the public."Alright, I'll do my best to help Mr. Taylor," Josh said.However, Jasper's voice rang out the moment he finished spe

Meanwhile, Sophia had rushed over to one of the lounges on the racing grounds to meet Tristan after the race."Tristan … I'm coming, Tristan!" Sophia sometimes felt like she'd become much more youthful after meeting Tristan. Not only that, but she'd become more fearless, too.While living with the Beckett family, Sophia had hidden her true self and constructed a fake persona for the past 20 years or so. She had long been fed up and tired of having to appeal to Javier every single day. Sophia had had enough of trying to appease a man she despised with every fiber of her being.Tristan's presence was like the life-giving rain that a parched, cracked desert yearned for, completely rejuvenating Sophia. She was deeply entranced, unable to break free from him.With her heart pounding in excitement, Sophia shakily knocked on the lounge door. But it didn't open even when she knocked again and again.In the end, Sophia barged in and locked the door behind her.Unexpectedly, she was th

Sophia took a deep breath and went to open the door, acting calm. "What is it?""What are you doing here, Madam Sophia? Mr. Javier is searching for you all over the place." As Rory spoke, his eyes wouldn't stop peeking behind Sophia into the lounge."I was tired, so I found a place to rest. What are you looking for? You think I'm hiding someone?" Sophia leaned back against the door, arms crossed in front of her chest. She sneered. "Only an ugly and perverted mind would view the world as such. Go inside, then. Try to find a man hiding in here, or so help me!""That's not what I meant, ma'am."Rory didn't pursue the matter. He smiled politely and gestured for Sophia to exit the room. "Ladies first, Madam Sophia. Mr. Javier requests your immediate presence in the VIP area. Everyone is present save for you, Madam Sophia and Mr. Javier worries about speculation."…A peculiar atmosphere had settled in the VIP area.Zoe hid behind Cornelius, now pale and rigid as ice. Max had been b

"That's right, Mr. Beckett. Did you think that you are over the law and can do whatever you like just because you're the president of Beckett Group? "Watch what you say. I might just sue you for defamation!" Preston said as he pointed at Jasper's face. Jasper had a callous look on his face, and Preston had absolutely no respect for him at all. However, Jasper thought he was more like a barking dog putting up a fierce front. Landon hugged Lauren close and stroked her shoulder gently. He rolled his eyes at Preston. As someone from the Harper Group, he was criticizing someone else for being over the law? That was ridiculous! "Jasper, did you investigate thoroughly before saying these things?" Sophia, whom Rory brought back, witnessed this scene. She chimed in smoothly and condemned Jasper and those siding with him, "Beckett Group and Harper Group are family friends. You and Landon are also as close as brothers. How could you raise this sort of suspicion? This will hurt the p
Can't Win Me Back Chapter 1136
Anger rose from within Alyssa as she clenched her fingers tight! She thought Max was being crafty with his words by twisting the truth. He was the one who had the intention to murder but was now attempting to push the blame onto Jasper. He was trying to stir things up to drive a wedge between Jasper and the Harper Group. He was trying to give Cornelius the confidence to stand up for him! "Jasper, this greatly affects the reputation of both our families. You shouldn't take this as a joke!" Sophia made herself appear like the head of the family. She pretended to be concerned for him as if she were doing so for the benefit of all.In a concerned voice, she said, "We know that you have always felt like you owe it to Ms. Alyssa because of your divorce. When you realize that she met with an accident, it's inevitable that you want to take revenge on her behalf …""Revenge? Mrs. Beckett, what made you say so?" Preston became more and more upset as he listened to her. He furrowed

Alyssa followed Jasper into the study. The door closed behind her with a soft click. She didn't move to switch on the lights or sit down. Instead, she stood quietly in the dim room.They faced each other, eyes locked. In the darkness, their gazes seemed brighter, charged with emotions that neither could put into words. Whatever stirred within them was tangled and silent—kept at bay by something unspoken, as if a wall had formed between heart and mouth. After a pause, Alyssa offered a faint smile. Her voice was soft, almost courteous. "Go ahead, Mr. Beckett. I won't be staying long tonight—I've made other arrangements."It was clear she didn't want to be alone in a room with him.Jasper's chest tightened, overwhelmed by a surge of emotion he couldn't define. His voice was rough when he finally spoke. "You didn't vote against the motion at today's board meeting. I wanted to know… are we still on the same side?"Alyssa's gaze lowered, her voice steady and calm. "You didn't object

In the evening, Xavier drove Jasper to meet with Newton. Along the way, news broke out that Sheryl had been bailed out. Xavier slammed his fist against the steering wheel. "Damn it! Why is it so hard to get rid of that woman?" "She is Justin's right hand," Jasper said, eyes shut as he leaned back in his seat. His jaw tightened. "You could even say she knows more about his secrets than anyone. As long as she's useful, Justin won't discard her so easily. This is how he operates."Xavier shook his head, teeth gritted. "Where the hell did she even come from? When you had me investigate her, I found nothing. Her background was spotless. "What's in her past that Justin would go so far to keep it hidden? A man like him can have any woman he wants, yet he clings to her—some pretty-faced idiot who only seems to make things harder for him."Jasper's gaze turned glacial. Xavier's casual remark struck him.He was right. Justin wasn't short on capable subordinates. So why Sheryl?Was Sh

This time, the injection did not bring the excruciating pain that once made Amber wish for death. Her chapped lips trembled, and tears streamed down her face as she gazed deeply into Remy's eyes. He, too, looked at her, his expression unreadable yet intense. Between them, no words were needed."Damien… Thank you…" Though her voice was barely audible, the weight of her words sank deep into Remy's heart. For once, he did not object to being called Damien.The truth was, ever since Amber had been taken, an unbearable pressure had settled over him, making each breath feel like a punishment—every day since had been plagued by self-reproach and regret.If he hadn't stopped her that night and let her go sooner, could she have avoided Sheryl? Could she have been spared the torture and humiliation?"You should know that those who enter this place never leave. Most don't even make it out alive."Remy's gaze was unwavering. Taking advantage of the surveillance blind spot, he placed his

"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
