Can't Win Me Back Chapter 1251
Everyone was shocked.Victor and Josh were stunned to their cores, their mouths so wide it nearly touched the floor."Lyse, how could you…" Jonah gazed worriedly at his sister, feeling troubled.As Alyssa's big brother, he was responsible for dealing with any gunfire shot their way and protecting his siblings.Jonah wanted to handle this alone, but who knew his sister would make an appearance and provoke the Schmidt family? She had drawn enemy fire to herself now."Get it up? What do you mean, Alyssa Taylor?" Josh's elegant demeanor was nearly at its breaking point. He glared menacingly at Alyssa and said, "And… What did you say you did? You beat up David? You dared beat up my own brother? How dare you!""Why wouldn't I dare?" Alyssa's eyes narrowed as she grinned. "If David was daring enough to take advantage of Taty, then I'm equally daring enough to teach him a lesson!"Killing him would've been too easy. Scum like David deserves to suffer in prison with other scums like him.

Otherwise, Alyssa would only help Jasper gain more enemies. The Schmidt family would definitely target Jasper if they knew."Oh, thank the heavens… thank the heavens!" Winston cried to himself, though he was still overwhelmed with anxiety for Tatiana."Sexually incompetent? How could my son be sexually incompetent?" Victor was stunned by this news. His face grew beet red with rage upon hearing Winston's words. "What did you just say, Winston Taylor? Are you cursing my son?""Curse?" Winston sneered angrily, his eyes boiling with fury. "David deserves hell for what he did to my daughter! If he wasn't your son, Victor, I would've made sure he didn't live to see another day! Beating him up and tossing him behind bars is already the greatest mercy I can give!"Victor and Josh's hearts lurched.They had come all this way to Belbanks just to demand an answer from the Taylor family, yet who knew they would end up humiliating themselves instead!Jameson's eyes were burning with anger. Bl

"Hmph! You're still so young, Josh. You can ask your father how I fought my way to where I am today if you're unsure." Winston's eyes gleamed ferociously. "Ask around and see just how terrible you'll suffer if you antagonize me!"Josh's heart quivered fearfully, but he still put on a tough, fearless act."I say this to all of you now, not as Cyrus Taylor of the Taylor family, but as the police—" Cyrus then displayed an arrest warrant for the Schmidt family to see. He continued, "The police have officially arrested David Schmidt under the charge of sexual assault. We have ample evidence and witnesses to support our case, too. You Schmidts can prepare yourselves to attend David's trial."Cyrus then smirked. "Or, should I say, criminal suspect David Schmidt's trial."Despair overwhelmed Victor and Josh.This was an official warrant from the police. They had no choice but to concede to the matter now.Josh tried fighting back but was swiftly stopped by Victor, who said quietly, "Wh

A red sports car came to a stop in front of a club in the middle of the night. Amber stepped out of it dressed in a skin-tight black dress, showing off her curves. Her bejeweled heels glinted in the light, giving her a striking appearance overall."He's still inside, Ms. Altman. I've been keeping watch all this while." A lackey walked over to Amber from a dark corner.Amber tied her hair into a bun before decorating it with a silver hair stick studded with a ruby. Her beauty left the lackeys around her in awe."Wait outside and prepare to cover me."…Dim lights flashed in the club. Amber gritted her teeth together as she moved amidst the people who were enjoying their night. Her eyes were set on Axel who sat at the edge of the bar.The closer she got to him, the harder her heart pounded. The pandemonium around her seemed to disappear as if she was in a dream.Amber gently touched her hair stick. If things went according to plan tonight, her beloved hair stick would be used to

Axel narrowed his eyes. "You're not here specifically for me, are you?" Amber ran her finger in slow, circular motions along his firm chest. "You should believe that we were able to meet previously because of fate, mister." Axel raised his brow. "I see. It was fated indeed." "Thank you for helping me the last time." Amber wrapped his black necktie around her hand. Her soft skin was brushing against his body. With a longing gaze, she looked at him and said, "I have been hoping to see you again. I was hoping to repay you." Axel's eyes turned dim. His searching eyes made her feel nervous. Yet, she tried her best to control herself. He had eagle eyes. They were like lie detectors. Strangely enough, he actually felt that her words sounded genuine at that moment. "Tell me, then. How were you thinking of repaying me, hmm?" Axel broke into a sly smile as he moved his lips closer to her. Amber's heart thundered in her chest. A light shade of pink colored her cheeks as she bl

"It's your turn, mister..." Amber's heart skipped a beat. She was startled by Axel looking teary-eyed. His gaze was one filled with grief. His eyes looked dim, like an almost burnt-out shooting star."You've won. Good for you…"Axel smiled with his eyes as he gently pinched the top of his glass with his fingers, clinking it against hers. He continued, "I really hope that you can keep winning." Upon saying that, he finished the cognac in his glass. A trickle of the liquid spilled from his mouth, tracing the curve of his lip and descending along his impeccably sculpted jawline.Amber's eyes turned red. She felt like a buoy in the middle of the sea, floating beyond her control. She had never heard words like that said to her before. Others always required, dictated or commanded her to do things. No one had ever uttered a hopeful sentiment to her, wishing for her triumph or a future free from darkness. And that she could also have…All of a sudden, her mind went blank. She couldn't

Jasper was still waiting outside? Jonah was also astonished to hear that. Last night, it had continued to rain heavily for the better half of the night. The rain stopped, then started again this morning. An upcoming typhoon was also forecasted tonight. Jasper was just standing there without a drop of water to drink or a bite to eat. Was that how he wanted to die? "Jasper has been outside all along? Since last night? What do you mean?" Alyssa's captivating eyes were as wide as they could be. She grabbed Silas' shoulders tightly and shook him with all her might. "Spill! What in the world is going on? You have all seen Jasper, haven't you? Have you all been hiding it from me alone?" "Stop! Stop shaking me, Lyse! You're making me feel sick!" Silas felt like his entire world was spinning, and he couldn't focus his eyes."Lyse! Calm down!" Jonah hurried forward and grabbed a hold of her wrists. He pulled her into his arms. "It's Jasper's own choice, whatever he chooses to do

"There is no longer any need for you and Jasper to remain entangled with one another. He is not your benefactor. The more you insist, the more hurt you will get. You are just self-sabotaging." "Liam, listen to yourself! How could you say something like that?"Alyssa's heart wrenched, and her eyes were bloodshot. "Back then, my miscarriage was an accident! I didn't even know I was pregnant. So how could he have possibly known?"It was my own choice to keep my miscarriage a secret. It had nothing to do with Jasper! How many times do I have to repeat myself?"That being said, Liam's expression remained unchanged. He was still as frigid as before."You are still young, Lyse. There are plenty of other men out there who are better than Jasper. They can give you whatever Jasper had given you. Even if they can't, we can." "He is the only one for me! I'm warning you again, Liam, don't stand in my way. Don't make me hate you!" Alyssa was like an agitated lioness. She gritted her teeth

"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
