Can't Win Me Back Chapter 1596
Julien had been a playboy living a promiscuous and hedonic life in the past. For once, he finally thought of settling down with Jonah, but here came Mandy. She had to uncover his shoddy past at this time. His heart ached. The photos gave him quite a jolt."Aunt Mandy, I…""Julien, your dad and brother might turn a blind eye to your life abroad, and I have no say in your decision after marrying into the Taylor family." Frowning, Mandy hissed in a low and stern voice, "But Jonah is the pillar of the Taylor family. Your Uncle Winston has high hopes for his eldest. You cannot lay a finger on Jonah!"Feeling a stabbing pain in his heart, Julien stumbled backward in shock."I watched you grow up. When you were younger, I was the one who made you study and play with you because your dad was too busy. I know you better than anyone else in the Lovelace family." She slumped on the couch, simmering in anger. Mandy continued, "I can read your mind from your actions. To be honest, I could t

Josh had created a massive scandal from his forced demolition of the Tsulu village for the holiday resort project.Deep in worries, he had no time to deal with the public fallout. Victor had to suppress the news reports for him.Victor flipped in front of Josh and Jameson at the chairman's office. "What's wrong with you, you moron? It's illegal to demolish buildings by force in Cyrris. How dare you do it abroad? "You do know their police and authorities will come after you, right?" Victor gritted his teeth and poked a finger at Josh's temple, forcing the latter to stumble backward.Victor snapped, "You goon! Dumb as a doorknob! Do you want the Schmidt Group to meet an early demise?"Jameson pursed his lips silently as he adjusted his glasses. Meanwhile, Josh blushed in shame, his ego bruised by his dad.Feeling indignant, he hissed, "Dad, Jonah Taylor tricked us! He transferred a problematic parcel of land to me. He set up a trap for me."Victor's frown deepened."Josh, this i

In the face of Victor's accusations, Josh belatedly realized that he had shot himself in the foot. In the past, he had used a carrot-and-stick approach to mold David into a tool at his disposal, but never had he thought that Jameson would one day use it against him.Josh now unjustly carried the blame for David's death, and Victor treated him as the punching bag to deal with the grief and helplessness surrounding David's death."Dad, let's cool down and discuss. Your health will only suffer if you're emotional." Jameson hurried over and assisted Victor to take a seat on the couch.Then, he calmly explained to Josh, "Josh, you misunderstood me. I looked into the parcel of land but hesitated to inform you because I didn't want you to think that I was stepping over your toes or trying to mess up your project."You never had any trust in me, and I didn't want to deepen your mistrust. Dad only has you and me left. I do not want our relationship to be strained."Josh scoffed and thoug

Victor felt as though he was punched in the guts. "You loser… Josh Schmidt, you're a fucking loser!" Josh grew anxious when he noticed the majority of public opinion in favor of Jameson. He nearly broke his phone out of anger. "Jameson Schmidt, is this your doing? You must have leaked the news!""Josh, how can you be so clueless?" Jameson shook his head. "What do I gain from leaking the news? What good will it do for the company? I do not want a pyrrhic victory. Besides, I don't even have to mess with you. You're totally capable of doing that to yourself."Josh, utterly provoked, bellowed, "Jameson Schmidt, you petty, evil prick!"A smirk played on Jameson's lips as he maintained his gentlemanly image. When Victor wasn't looking, Jameson showed a glimpse of his provocating and evil nature.Victor rubbed his forehead. He had a complicated look in his eyes. "Who… Who had the audacity to…""3 o'Clock News is a media under the KS Group. KS Group and other foreign investors funded th

Carl sounded perplexed by Jameson's decision. He questioned, "You can totally get Josh out of the way and claim the president title if you settle the scandal in Tsulu."Jameson shook his head. "Victor Schmidt is a skeptical man. If I show my hand, I will only raise his suspicion about my intentions. However, he will think of me as rational, sensible, and diplomatic if I leave the matter to Josh."Carl inquired, "What if Josh successfully squashed the scandal?""Do you think I'll let that happen?" Jameson folded his legs and swirled the red wine in his glass. He exuded a dangerous air. "Since the Taylors have brought this scandal to the next level, I shall fuel the fire and make it spiral out of control."Get in touch with our men in Tsulu right now. Tell them to visit the hospital where the injured villagers stay. You know what to do next, don't you?"Carl got the hint. He nodded hard. "Yes. Got it."Amber's hands quivered. She knew that a vicious round of killings was about to s

While the Schmidts were deep in trouble, Jasper was busy with work. Winston's condition had recently stabilized. After sorting out Winston's matters, Jasper began working to create a charity foundation in Anne's name.Anne had passed on for years, but Jasper resolved to make the foundation great to show his love for his mother."Mr. Beckett, the charity dinner preparations are nearly complete. We'll need your decisions on certain details, such as the venue selection and the guest list." Xavier handed him some documents.Jasper carefully pored over the documents. He calmly asked, "Any updates on Javier Beckett lately?""Nothing suspicious, except for one issue." Xavier leaned forward. He lowered his voice into a whisper. "I looked into Mr. Javier's schedule abroad. "He was scheduled to attend a business meeting in Furancia for a week. He should have come home to Solana City after that, but he took a detour to Mosgravia."Jasper lifted his gaze. "Mosgravia?""Let's not forget who

Xavier gaped at Jasper, who threw his manners out of the window and gobbled up the food like a farm animal. For a moment, Jasper looked just like Landon."See, Mr. Beckett, Madam cares about you a lot. She prepared lunch for you because she knew you'd skip meals when you are busy." Xavier couldn't hold back from boasting and groveling. "You're lucky to have her as your wife!""Too bad she wasn't the one who delivered lunch to me." Jasper took a sip of water to help with his digestion after wolfing down lunch. He appeared really hungry.If Alyssa delivered lunch to him, he thought he might have a chance to satisfy his other desires. The mere thought of it put a grin on his face."Madam had always delivered food to you in the past, including desserts. You were the one who banned her from coming in," Xavier taunted with a smirk.Xavier's remark sent a stabbing pain through Jasper's chest—a lump formed in his throat.At that time, Xavier's phone rang. Seeing that it was a call from T

Xavier was envious of Alyssa. If only he could marry Jasper too!"Ahem. That's unnecessary." Alyssa's voice softened. "I didn't date you to make you my human shield. I mean, you've done that a few times, but you're only human. Don't risk your life for me. You'll only break my heart."Heart racing, Jasper grinned widely. At that moment, he'd die for Alyssa.He said to her, "Lyse, I've finished the lunch you delivered to me."Then, he embarrassedly turned away. Breathing heavily, he croaked, "Can I enjoy 'supper' tonight?"…Meanwhile, the Schmidt Group was in deep trouble. The Tsulu government, provoked by the deaths, had officially prosecuted the local employees in charge of the demolition. On top of that, the government requested an astronomical amount of compensation from the company.Aware that the Schmidts were one of the four esteemed families in Cyrris, the Tsulu government extorted a three-billion-dollar payment from the Schmidt Group.The government couldn't care less f

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
