Chapter 1302

Penulis: Ginger Sue
Daisy, intoxicated and unsteady on her feet, fell into a squat, inadvertently exposing herself as her skirt flipped up.

Clark quickly turned his face away, afraid of catching a glimpse.

Just then, a stream of yellowish and foul-smelling water cascaded from overhead, soaking Daisy from head to toe.

Following that, a tangy and disgusting stench reached her nose. She raised her arm to sniff and almost vomited her dinner from last night.

What was this smell?

It was tangy and pungent, making her nauseous.

"Who is it? Who poured this on me? Who?" Daisy howled at the sky like an angry dog.

"Who told you to yell and disturb us?"

Raising her chin, Colene walked briskly out of the front gate. "Look, even the heavens find you unpleasant. They poured a bucket of water on you to sober you up. Shut your filthy mouth and get out of here."

"It's you... You poured this on me!" Daisy glared, her teeth chattering from the cold wind.

"Why do you assume it was me? If rain can fall from the sky,

  • Can't Win Me Back   Chapter 1303

    Winston continued, "This torturous approach doesn't seem like Jasper's style. It's more like Lyse's work."Mandy's eyes flickered at his words. At once, she linked arms with him. "Winston, it's getting late. You should go to sleep."…Alyssa was afraid that Winston might find her at her home in Solana City, and she didn't want to stay at a hotel. So she had been with Jasper in Landon and Lauren's home.Lauren was the happiest about that.She already had a deep fondness for Alyssa, and the infrequency of their meetings made her cling to her every chance she got. Given the opportunity, Lauren stayed by Alyssa's side every day.This left Jasper with only nighttime for some alone time with Alyssa.So, every night, he would connect with her in bed, refusing to stop until she was exhausted and begging beneath him. It was as if he was trying to compensate for any lost intimacy during the day.Alyssa was truly speechless. She had encountered penny pinchers but never someone so calculat

    In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the press conference.At 5:00 pm, various media outlets gathered in the hotel's largest hall. Cameras were set up, angles were adjusted, and reporters had their laptops ready, waiting for Daisy's appearance."Speaking of which, I thought it would be Victor or Josh stepping forward. I didn't expect it to be Daisy. She's quite bold. Her husband is in jail, and she still has the energy to hold a press conference.""Those men in the Schmidt family are smart. They're using Daisy as a shield, making her the target.""Tsk, tsk! The rich really lack humanity. I pity Daisy.""Pity? Timothy received bribes of tens of millions, enough to keep him in prison. Do you believe that none of that dirty money found its way into her pocket?"Anyway, I don't. They're just abandoning each other in times of trouble."Soon, it was 7:00 pm.With a mournful expression, a bare-faced Daisy arrived, wearing a black suit. Lowering her head, she walked onto the stage

    The Schmidt family had truly raised a bunch of maggots that were rotten to the core."N-No... It's not… It's not true."Daisy's face turned crimson, as if all the blood in her body had gathered in her face. She almost hysterically shouted, "That recording is fake! It's fake!"I don't know any fortune teller... It's not me speaking in there! It's all fake! Someone is framing me!""Framing you? Ms. Daisy, please take a look at this. How do you explain this?"The reporter held up his phone.At that moment, all the reporters' phones in the room started ringing, causing a thunderous noise.Everyone lowered their heads to look at their screens and saw a post suggested by Twitter. It was a video of Daisy meeting a fortune teller privately. She was handing money to the fortune teller.Even though the video was clearly recorded without her knowledge, it unveiled her underhanded actions entirely."Ms. Daisy!"Just then, a bodyguard rushed up, pulling the stiffened Daisy down from the s

    Xavier continued, "What about you, Mr. Beckett? What will you reward me with?""Reward you? Isn't that your job as a secretary?" Jasper's voice carried a lazy tone, like a just-fed lion.Xavier blushed intensely from his wild imagination. "W-Well, Madam has rewarded me. Couples should be on the same page, right? Aren't you afraid that she'll say you're stingy?""Who do you think you're threatening?""No, no! I wouldn't dare." Sweating, Xavier immediately straightened his posture."You haven't had a break for a long time. I'll give you an additional ten days of annual leave. Go wherever you want and enjoy yourself.""Um... Mr. Beckett, I'm a bachelor. Even if you gave me annual leave, I wouldn't know what to do."Xavier grinned. "Mr. Beckett, how about... increasing my bonus? I won't take any more annual leave in the future. I'll work for you all year round, day and night, with my heart and soul. I'll be your and Madam's pet!"Jasper was surprised that Xavier was aiming for a bi

    That night, inside the villa, two sweet couples sat in the living room. Their attention was directed at the news channel playing on the TV.After a few minutes, the news began. It was a highly anticipated program of the day—Daisy's arrest.The news report replayed the comical scene of Daisy being arrested by the police. It was still hilarious, even upon a second viewing."Hmm? That hot officer looks familiar. I think I've seen him somewhere." Lauren poked her finger at her chin.Suddenly, her eyes lit up. "Oh, I remember! He sat next to me at Madam Lyla's birthday party. He even chatted with me—"Before she could finish her sentence, Landon's eyes darkened. He couldn't help but grab her chin and land a domineering and passionate kiss on her soft lips. It was a fierce and jealous kiss.Meanwhile, Alyssa and Jasper were absorbed in watching the news. When they heard the amorous sound, they were momentarily stunned.Suddenly, Jasper moved his body, covering the explicit scene. Then

    Alyssa continued, "Victor's sudden hospitalization may not be due to illness. It might just be a move to avoid trouble."Jasper nodded in agreement. "Once the prosecutor initiates the investigation process and summons Victor, he can claim illness to avoid interrogation.""Damn it! He's really cunning," Landon cursed angrily."Landon, what does 'threesome' mean?" Lauren asked, blinking her innocent eyes.Lauren was really good at catching the critical point. The three of them fell into a momentary silence.Landon awkwardly cleared his throat, pinching Lauren's cheek. "Uh... When we get back to the room, I'll slowly explain it to you."After a while, the news report concluded.The Schmidt family's affairs consumed a significant amount of time, catering to their flamboyant and high-profile personalities."They're really despicable... How can they force women to do such things?" Lauren's eyes turned red with anger. "The police officers must arrest them all! They must bring justice

    Alyssa held onto Jasper's muscular arm, confidently raising her eyebrows. "As long as we don't take any further actions and maintain a low profile, Jamiper will be unable to contain himself and will find a way to deal with David."…The next day, when the stock market opened, Schmidt Group's stock prices showed a decline, as expected. The drop was so quick that it was a heart-wrenching sight.As the Clemons couple's legal battles unfolded, Schmidt Group's reputation took a nosedive, and the entire company began to display indications of internal turmoil.Victor continued his hospitalization on the third day while Josh was called in by the prosecutor.On the fourth day, Winston was cornered by the media when attending a meeting. He was asked about his views on the Schmidt family."Mr. Taylor, we heard that you have a close relationship with Mr. Victor. What's your opinion on the Schmidt family's recent situation?"Winston's expression was cold, and he responded indifferently, "Mr

    Daisy's face was twisted with a hideous expression. She stared fixedly at Jameson's delicate yet detestable face."Help me? Haha! They're animals! But Jameson, aren't you one as well? Yes... You're worse. You're a damn viper. You're even more vicious!"Jameson showed no signs of anger. Instead, his smile deepened. "I may not be a saint, but even beasts show some affection for their offspring. I have always been reluctant to be too harsh on my family. So, I want to help you, Daisy."Also, besides me, who else cares about you? In this place where not even a glimpse of daylight is visible, do you believe people regard you as a member of the Schmidt family?"Seeing Daisy's strong resistance to his so-called "help", Jameson dealt a lethal blow."Daisy, think carefully. Your current miserable situation is all because of whom?"Daisy's anger surged. She shouted hysterically, "It's the Taylor family! They're retaliating against me. That bitch Alyssa is definitely involved!"Jameson smir

    "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
