Can't Win Me Back Chapter 1442
Lily had just boarded the plane and was already feeling weak, so Jameson helped her to the bed.As he emerged from the inner cabin, he saw a fierce Alyssa. Her eyes were bloodshot, and her beautiful face was tainted with fury."M-Mr. Schmidt..." Carl stood behind Alyssa, looking extremely uneasy.This was the woman that Jameson held dear to his heart. Even if she wanted to blow up the plane, he didn't dare to intervene.The fierce look in Jameson's eyes softened at once. He smiled gently.Just as he wanted to approach Alyssa, she moved first, striding toward him.She grabbed him by the collar. Turning resentment into strength, she forcefully slammed him against the cabin door with a loud bang.The gorgeous and expensive crystal glasses on the table fell to the ground, creating a mess beneath their feet."Mr. Schmidt! Ms. Alyssa! Please talk things out!" Carl was flustered, yet he dared not make a move. He could only shout from his place.Smiling, Jameson stared at Alyssa's cri

On the way back from the airport, Alyssa stared at the neon lights outside the window, not saying a word to Jasper.He knew she was feeling down, so he let her be. But he never loosened his grip on her cold hand.His gaze remained fixed on Alyssa. Her frozen yet still beautifully captivating profile stirred his heart endlessly. He was very worried about her.They returned home under the suffocating atmosphere.Just as they entered, they received a call from Cyrus. "Lyse, the identities are almost confirmed. It's Inigo and his men."Alyssa closed her eyes, biting her lip until it bled.Meanwhile, Jasper's eyes were bloodshot. Seeing her torment herself like this made it almost unbearable for him to breathe."Hundreds of officers from the search department conducted a blanket search near the explosion site. They found their two passports and some personal items that were enough to prove their identities. They're Tsulu nationals. With the surveillance along the route, we can basica

Alyssa rubbed her damp face against his chest. When she lifted her head, Jasper's sturdy chest muscles hidden beneath his shirt were faintly visible, seducing her.She felt a bit embarrassed now. After sniffing a few times, she rubbed her palms against the spot on his chest where her tears had dampened it.The adorable sight ignited a warm rush within Jasper, making his heart flutter.But he wouldn't keep her awake tonight. He just wanted her to rest well in his arms so she could recharge herself."You haven't eaten anything all night. You should be hungry, right? I'll make something for you." Jasper looked at her with concern, gently wiping away the tears at the corners of her eyes."You haven't eaten either. Let me do the cooking. You're too slow in the kitchen. It'll be too late to eat by then." Alyssa sniffled.Jasper smiled helplessly. "Then I'll have Mrs. Rosie do it.""It's late. I'll do it.""Then let's do it together."This warmed Alyssa's heart. "Okay."…With a sk

"Aren't you curious what I told Jameson after barging into his plane?" Alyssa resisted the entire day and eventually decided to ask.Jasper smiled lightly. "Why? Are you afraid I would be jealous?""Pfft! If you would get jealous of someone like him, you are basically questioning my character." Alyssa poked his chest hard with her fingertip."Before this, I was really jealous when I saw both of you together." Jasper's eyes reddened slightly. He lifted her hand and planted a warm kiss on her palm."I know. It was so obvious. I'm not blind."Alyssa pouted as a light sense of uneasiness appeared on her face. "At that time, you and I just divorced, so I had accumulated so much anger at you. I was overjoyed when I saw you getting angry."I thought I was different from other women. Divorce wasn't a big deal. I thought I could let it go as easily as getting divorced. Then, I finally understood the joy I felt seeing you angry didn't stem from the satisfaction of getting revenge—it was th

Alyssa asked, "Is this Josh's scheme?""It's probable. This incident also damaged the relationship between Mr. and Mrs. Schmidt. Mrs. Schmidt had caused Jameson, who was never favored in the family, to be shunned in Kontina. "He was left there for 15 years with no support. During these years, Mrs. Schmidt's health deteriorated, causing Jameson to lose his only support in the Schmidt Group. He did not receive any financial support and lived a difficult life in Kontina."Alyssa was somewhat surprised. "Are you speaking for your love rival?"Jasper laughed. "No, I'm just stating facts. What is right is right, and what is wrong is wrong. Even if he is my love rival, I wouldn't preach what is wrong."Alyssa was moved. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pecked his lips.Jameson would never be as upright and open-minded as Jasper was."So, he had every right to hate. If it were me, I would have done what I could to come back and take revenge for my mother," Jasper said with gloo

A helicopter exploded in the air in the countryside. It was a massive piece of news. Moreover, the residents nearby recorded the entire process and uploaded it online, causing a huge stir.This was a negative incident. However, the police issued a notice through official channels claiming that internationally wanted criminals were trying to escape capture through the helicopter. All six of them were found dead. When the news was released, the comments took a different turn. Everyone in the country was thrilled and thought they deserved it.David's forensics report came out and confirmed it was mechanical asphyxia. Plus, from the direction of the laceration and the wounds left from the struggle, he was murdered.However, out of hundreds of inmates and police officers, no one found out who did it.Perhaps someone was secretly obstructing the case investigation, hoping that the truth would never come to light.All sorts of comments were flying through the internet about David's dea

Alyssa watched as the glum look on Jasper's face set in like the moon setting into the vast sea.Jasper's shoulders trembled slightly underneath his suit. His eyes were bloodshot. He turned into a volcano as an overwhelming wave of emotions erupted in him. Alyssa squeezed his hand, trying to hint for him to maintain his composure.She wasn't a goody-two-shoes who would buy into the "a harmonious family would prosper" gimmick. She wanted to help Jasper by giving Javier a piece of her mind.However, fighting in front of Jasper's mother's tombstone didn't seem too respectful of her. Jasper's mother would be rolling in her grave in anger if she saw it."I didn't expect you to visit your mother today. You should have told me earlier, and we could have come together."Javier carried the authority of a father, but his tone remained gentle. "I think your mother would have loved it.""My mother would have loved it?" Jasper stared at him coldly. Hatred pierced through his voice. "You've

It was as if something was stuck in Javier's throat as he pointed at his son's face. His high and mighty demeanor was slowly compromised. "Jasper, you ungrateful bastard!"If I was putting on a show, I wouldn't have gone against the majority and suffered the pressure to bring you and your mother back to the Beckett Group from the slums."If it weren't for me, both of you wouldn't have died on the smelly and nasty streets. Have you forgotten how sick your mother was? She didn't have a single dime on her to go to the hospital for treatment. "She had no way to support you. If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have recovered from her sickness. How on Earth would you have lived the cushy life you have now?"Alyssa watched as Jasper, feeling wronged, received a baseless accusation. As a bystander, her heart burned with fire. She felt her blood boiling in her as her fists clenched.Until now, Javier wasn't speaking to Jasper as a husband or a father. He was still on his high horse, thinki

"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
