Can't Win Me Back Chapter 1644
"Dad, I'm not letting you go! You'd better stay here!" Alyssa flared up and blocked her father's way."How dare you! I'm your father. You have no right to tell me what to do. You are in no place to make decisions for the Taylor family."Winston and Alyssa found themselves at a stalemate, unable to find common ground.Mandy panicked and froze where she was.It was the first time Jasper had experienced a situation like this after getting together with Alyssa. He didn't know how to comfort and how to mediate this argument."Dad, you…" Alyssa felt a sense of suffocation. She clenched her fists so hard that they'd turned pale. "Alyssa, if you want to be a good daughter, please don't anger me anymore. Please don't force me into this yelling match with you."Winston had drenched his nightwear in sweat. Even panting took up a lot of his energy. The sight of his beloved daughter slowly turned blurry in his eyes. "Please just let me do what I want this one time. Is it that hard?"…It

Winston frowned and coughed lightly. However, he didn't stop Alyssa. The smile on Dominic's face slowly faded. He gritted his teeth hard.Alyssa looked down, then slowly shifted her gaze from the bottom up. Her red lips curled into a contemptuous smile. "Also, I can't help but remind you, Uncle Dominic, when you attend an important event next time, please ask Renee to match your clothes for you. Red and green make you look like a walking Christmas tree."Winston cleared his throat, hinting at Alyssa to stop. Dominic, who was wearing a dark red suit with a dark green tie, froze.…After that debacle, Winston and Dominic entered the meeting room to start the meeting.Alyssa and Jasper waited at Winston's office.Alyssa lay horizontally on the couch and used Jasper's thigh as a pillow. She stared at Jasper's handsome face with thin lips and deep eyes. She was laughing hard."The memory of the horrified expression on Dominic's face when I unleashed my biting remarks fills me wit

"Fishy?" Jasper frowned.Alyssa said, "It's completely normal for your brother to get his hands on the medication. He had been in Mosgravia for many years. One word from him can get Jesseltons to partner with the Beckett Group."A dark look rested on Alyssa's face. "However, how did Jamiper get his hands on it?"Jasper was caught off guard by the question."The Schmidt family abandoned him. He had built his life in Kontina since the beginning. Why would he have any connections in Mosgravia?"Alyssa felt more unsettled the more she thought about it. "I have a wild theory. I'm wondering if Jameson knew your brother or at least had met your brother before."Jasper was about to object to her theory, but he remembered that Sheryl and Jameson had the same fragrance.Drawing conclusions about Sheryl and Jameson knowing each other from this fact seemed premature. Nevertheless, doubts continued to nag at him.Suddenly, hurried knocks echoed in the room.Jasper and Alyssa exchanged glan

Winston suddenly felt moisture seep from between his legs. Warm liquid trickled down his pants leg and to the floor.Neil was stunned to his core. But he swiftly recovered and yelled out, "The meeting is over. All of you are dismissed immediately!"Winston slowly looked down at the small puddle of water by his feet, mind blank. He'd always lived his life proud and lustrous, never in such a pathetic and hideous state.A great wave of shame consumed Winston, washing away the fear and pain from his illness. As the head of his family and company, he felt incredibly humiliated right now.Just then, two rows of bodyguards filed into the room and got everyone out as soon as possible before securing the entrance.Dominic sneakily pulled out his phone, wanting to record this humiliating moment. But before he could even start recording a video, pain shot through his wrist, making him release the phone.Dominic yelped in pain, stumbling backward as he clasped his injured arm. Standing in fr

Jasper and Alyssa took action separately. Jasper helped Neil take care of Winston while Alyssa gathered all the company directors aside from Dominic in a separate room to talk to them.After all, this was something only Alyssa, the future heiress of KS Group and daughter of the Taylor family, was entitled to do.The atmosphere in the room wasn't the best right now. The directors were continually grumbling and discussing amongst themselves.These directors were prominent figures in Belbanks' business world who owned shares in KS Group. All of them had known Winston for more than two decades. They obeyed and followed Winston's directions without complaint solely because he could help them earn a lot of money.But what about Alyssa? As much as Winston doted on her, she was still an immature young woman. If anyone were to rise from the Taylor family, it had to be Jonah, who was the CEO of the company. So why was Alyssa rising to the occasion?Sean had rushed over to Alyssa's side at h
Can't Win Me Back Chapter 1649
Sean nodded and took out a stack of documents from his briefcase before distributing them to the directors."A non-disclosure agreement?" The directors were shocked. Some of them felt insulted and asked, "What is the meaning of this, Ms. Alyssa? We're all close friends of your fathers and helped him build the company from scratch. Do you not trust us? Is this how you show your respect?"Alyssa responded calmly, "Please don't misunderstand. I'm only doing this to protect my father, KS Group, and all your shares as much as possible. It has nothing to do with my respect for anyone. This NDA is just a safety precaution meant to keep those who mean harm in check."Not only are you all my father's business partners, you're also his friends. I trust none of you would do something to ruin my father's reputation. This agreement is a mere backup. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a need for contracts in the business world anymore, don't you agree?"Alyssa had already spoken in a gracious and resp

Alyssa marched fast, saying, "I purposely set up this trap for Dominic. All we have to do is for him to take the bait."Sean was surprised. "What?""You don't really think that NDA is functional, do you?" Alyssa's gaze was cold as she continued, "There's always a fly on the wall. Even if Winston doesn't go to the hospital after this incident, news of it is still bound to spread. Dominic will naturally jump on this opportunity to strike now that he's seen it himself. "If we want to get rid of him, we need to wait for him to take the first move. I can't retaliate if he doesn't strike first."Sean immediately understood Alyssa's intentions. He gave her a thumbs up. "Woah. You're really cunning, Ms. Alyssa. Oh, wait. I meant—you're a genius!"…Alyssa arrived at her father's side just as the medics left. Winston's condition had already stabilized.His mental state, however, was in shambles."Have you told my family?" Alyssa's eyes were wet with tears as she stood in front of Jas

Alyssa crouched down by the couch and gently nudged Winston. She said in the softest tone she could muster, "What's wrong? Feeling shy? Oh, Winston. It's no big deal. Who in their right mind would be so obsessed over something like this? That'd be a terrible testament to their character."Plus, our family owns KS Group. If I were to take a dump out by the entrance, the directors and staff would have no choice but to stay silent about it!"Both Jasper and Neil were at a loss for words.They knew Alyssa was trying to console Winston, but there were better ways to console someone—better analogies to be used.Winston remained silent with his back toward Alyssa."You've been through so many ups and downs in life, Winston. You're not going to let this little hurdle drag you down, are you?" Alyssa was getting more anxious now. "Hey, Winston! Can you pull yourself together? You still have so many wives and kids to look after. What do we do if you don't toughen up?""Lyse," Winston finall

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
