The guests turned toward the voice and were stunned by who they saw.Jonah Taylor smilingly wandered into the main hall accompanied by Sean. Alyssa's eyes lit up with joy. She almost blurted out his name aloud.Jasper's heart almost stopped at the sight of Jonah. His frosty eyes looked even more threatening at that moment. Alyssa seemed to have felt the change in him, as though she was standing right beside a walking iceberg.She reflexively looked at Jasper and found him looking glum. A frightening storm was brewing in her eyes."Please excuse me for running late," Jonah said to Newton politely. He showed up in a special outfit that day, looking outstanding and gentlemanly in a high-neck top with a dark suit.The ladies around him swooned at Jonah, thinking of marrying him or Jasper in their dreams."It's not a problem. I am glad you're here." Newton smiled warmly at Jonah and treated him no differently, even though Jonah was Winston's son.Alyssa felt relieved at Newton's reac

"Dad, Alice is in a relationship with Mr. Jonah," Javier whispered in a low voice. "Please stop hooking her up with Jasper because she's dating someone new. You can't force a relationship.""That's right." Sophia jumped on the train. "Seeing the way Mr. Jonah immediately picked her up after she left our family, you could tell that their fling started way back.""Way back?" Newton glared."Yes. How else would their relationship grow this fast? That's why I told you it was useless to worry about Jasper and her. A loveless marriage is meaningless. They might as well break free and find their happiness.""So, you don't have to worry about Alice. She's joining the Taylor Family—they're as good as we are," Sophia muttered softly with hidden intention. She wanted to shatter Newton's impression of Alice as a prim and proper lady.Alyssa pursed her lips and stared at her feet. She had long anticipated the arrival of this day, and she was fully prepared to face Newton's resentment."Grandp

Jasper felt as if he was crushed by the weight of shame. At the same time, Landon bitterly racked his brains for a counteroffensive against his love rival.Feeling a sharp pang in her heart, Alyssa mumbled, "Grandpa …""Dad, it's your birthday. Let's put aside the upsetting talk." Javier went up to Newton and smiled. "Why don't we look at the gifts your grandchildren got you? We'll have dinner afterward so we don't keep the guests waiting."'Oh, right, it's present time!" Newton rubbed his hands adorably like a child.Firstly, the guests who were close to the Becketts presented their gifts to Newton, who cheerfully received each item and thanked his guests."Grandpa!" Smiling, Landon stood in front of Newton and declared, "I'm close to Jasper. His grandpa is mine. May you be blessed with good health and happiness!""Thank you!" Newton was all smiles."Grandpa, happy birthday!" Betty shuffled over with a shy smile and attempted to stand beside Landon. "I know you're into antiques

"You're right, Dad." Javier and Sophia could only agree with Newton with apologetic smiles."I am so happy with this gift. Where's Lauren? I want to give her a hug!" Newton beamed."Ms. Lauren says she won't join us because she's sick. She'll meet you in person later," Ben reported."Sigh, that child …" Newton lamented. "Ben, frame the painting and put it up in my study. That way, I can look at it whenever I feel like it."Ben nodded and carefully put the painting away. Betty was wordless with anger when she observed Newton's interest and care for Lauren's gift. Betty thought that Lauren, who never had much allowance, might humiliate herself by purchasing a miserly gift. To her dismay, Lauren decided to be creative by presenting a handmade gift. In the end, the vase that Betty splurged hundreds of thousands on was overshadowed by a shabby painting of Lauren's!"Oh, Lauren, just wait and see. You're dead meat!" Betty thought.On the other hand, Liana was pacing the corridor. S

"That's ridiculous!" Liana struggled to keep the smile on her face. "I bought this from the Harpers' auction house. It can't be a counterfeit!"After she dragged the Harpers into the mess, Landon snickered. "Ms. Gardner, you are probably unfamiliar with the industry because you haven't been involved with auctions. Parry's Auction of the Harper Group is the biggest auction house in the nation. "The items we take in have undergone stringent inspection and verification. It is impossible to buy counterfeits from us. It's one thing to be ignorant; it's another thing to ruin my family's reputation."The look in Jasper's eyes deepened. He recalled Alice's smirk when she indirectly led Liana to buy the replica at ten times the starting price at the charity auction. Could she have foreseen that Liana would buy the painting for Newton?Was it all a coincidence or a trap from the start?"Ms. Gardner, a counterfeit item is different from a replica," an expert voiced out his opinion to clear

Liana shouted, "Why didn't she continue bidding if she wanted the painting? She never planned to buy it in the first place—she only wanted to trick me!"The onlookers shifted their opinions about the situation."Could Ms. White have done that to Ms. Gardner because she was upset with the divorce?""That's unnecessarily petty. What's the meaning of pulling that after a divorce?""It is not meaningless. She must have been indignant after losing her marriage with the distinguished Mr. Beckett.""She looks proper on the outside but mean on the inside. Women like her only use their brains on petty tricks."Liana felt great hearing the barrage of criticisms on Alice."Ms. White, did you really do that?" Javier knitted his brows and looked sternly at Alyssa. Similarly, Newton was waiting for her answer."Ms. Gardner, it was a misunderstanding." Alyssa took a step forward. Her face scrunched up into a pitiful expression. "I was the one who first bid for the painting. You followed suit.

It was time for Alyssa to present her present.When the antique rosewood chair was carried in, every antique fanatic and collector in the venue erupted into excitement."That is a stunning relic!""Oh goodness, I wish I could get my hands on it!""This is probably the most precious thing Mr. Beckett Senior would have gotten tonight besides the porcelain set!""Who is this Alice White? How did she get her hands on something so priceless? Looks like Mr. Beckett's ex-wife might have been an heiress in hiding!"Jasper's heart had leaped into his throat. He gazed fixedly at Alice. He had never expected her to give the old man an antique the Taylor family had won at the auction. This chair itself was worth over a hundred million!It seemed like the Taylor family really doted on her."This is our gift to you, Grandpa. May you be blessed with prosperity and happiness, and live forevermore!" Alyssa said to Newton.Beside her, Jonah bowed his head slightly. "I wish you a happy birthday,
Can't Win Me Back Chapter 183
Shock, rage, and disappointment flooded Jasper's chest. She had lied to him all this time!…The birthday celebration continued into the night, laughter and chatter filling the venue. Halfway through, Alyssa decided to go to the washroom to powder up.As she went to the washroom, she recalled all the schemes and tricks Liana and Sophia had tried to use against her. It was all so childish, she realized, scoffing at the thought. How foolish.She had already guessed how they planned to take her down, which was unfortunate for them. Of all the things those women should have considered when plotting against her, they failed to include the most important factor of them all—Newton's fatherly affection for her.Love and affection were something their schemes could never break through.It would have been inappropriate if they had only given Newton the chair, as it undoubtedly belonged to Jonah and "his family." That was why she presented the carving she had long prepared to Newton.Alyss

Julien's questions sent the hall into an uproar. In an instant, the number of viewers on the live stream shot up to 50 million, and the comment section exploded."Dr. Lovelace has presented Mr. Jasper's examination reports. He never did drugs—he was framed! This is undeniable!""He risked his life to save Ms. Alyssa, yet ended up being manipulated, dismissed, and investigated like a criminal. He almost carried a lifelong stain on his name. What a despicable move by whoever did this!"Then, a comment appeared, saying, "Wasn't it Justin Beckett, the current president of Beckett Group, who orchestrated all of this? He set up his own younger brother just to seize power. What a vile man!"Yet, less than two seconds later, the comment vanished.But no matter how many trolls swarmed in or how quickly posts were deleted, the public's outrage could not be silenced. Suspicion against Justin surged, and tens of thousands of negative comments flooded the chat.Julien stood below the stage,

The once lively and fashion-loving Julien now seemed like a star that had lost its light. The radiance that once defined him had vanished. Julien walked past Jonah without stopping. The short distance between them gave Jonah a painfully clear view of the cross-shaped scar on Julien's cheek. His heart wrenched, the pain so intense that his vision blurred. He staggered. "Jonah, are you alright?" Fortunately, Landon was beside him and caught him just in time. Staring at Julien's slim figure, Jonah parted his dry lips, but no words came out.Bitterness filled the back of his throat, and his longing for Julien sent sharp, stabbing pains through his body.Julien stopped beside Jasper, offering him a small smile and a nod as a greeting.Then, his gaze turned fierce as he locked eyes with Justin's hypocritical expression."My name is Julien Lovelace. I was once Mr. Jasper's primary physician. Approximately six months ago, Mr. Jasper made a deal with Jameson to rescue Ms. Alyssa w

Alyssa stood at the doorway, her slim figure framed against the light, yet she seemed to tower over the room. Her presence commanded attention, filling the hall with an air of reverence and grandeur. From across the room, Jasper's dark eyes burned with intensity. To him, Alyssa was like a golden phoenix, its wings unfurling as it soared, radiating brilliance over everything in its wake. "Lyse!"Jonah and Landon stared in shock. They hadn't expected Alyssa to show up at the press conference. Camera flashes erupted once more."It's Ms. Alyssa Taylor!""We should address her properly now—she's the head of KS Group!" "Wait… Is she here to support Jasper? I thought they broke up?""What do you even know? They used to be in love!" Justin narrowed his eyes at Alyssa's frigid, determined expression. Slowly, his lips curled into a chilling, sinister smile.Alyssa met his gaze, suppressing the hatred surging within her. Then, with an air of composure, she turned to the crowd. "W

"That's rubbish. I never asked you to do anything like that!" Sheryl's bloodshot eyes burned with fury. She clenched her fists, longing to silence Sebastian."I didn't expect you to admit it," Sebastian said coldly. He reached into his chest pocket and pulled out his phone. After scrolling briefly, he held it up for all to see. "You were wary of me recording our conversations, but you never suspected I'd install a hidden camera in my office. This footage clearly shows you bribing and threatening me. With this evidence, denial is futile!"The crowd turned to Sheryl, their gazes heavy with shock and suspicion. When their eyes shifted to Justin, doubt lingered in the air.Sheryl's heart sank, her face draining of color.As cautious as she was, she had miscalculated. But it didn't matter. She had carried out the task herself, avoiding any direct mention of Justin's orders. Justin could still be saved.It was Sheryl who had fallen short in her responsibilities, and she was ready to tak

Jasper's eyes blazed with fury as he locked his gaze on Justin, a sharp, determined gleam in his dark eyes. "I will clear my name and restore my reputation, no matter the cost!" he declared, his voice ringing with resolve.The tension between Justin, standing on stage, and Jasper, positioned below, was palpable—like a killer whale facing off with a great white shark. The outcome was still uncertain."I, Landon Harper, swear on my name and the entirety of Harper Group that Jasper never did drugs. The whole situation was a setup!" Landon's voice resounded throughout the entire hall. The reporters buzzed with questions. "Who would do such a thing?"Landon refrained from directly naming Justin, aware that exposing the wolf in sheep's clothing would not be easy. Accusing him too hastily might provide Justin with an opportunity to counterattack, exploiting any gaps in their case.Landon had no fear of tarnishing his own reputation, but he was deeply concerned about the damage it m

Everyone turned to look behind them.Justin's icy gaze locked onto the doors, his expression dark and foreboding. The light pouring in from outside was blinding, piercing through the shadows like a blade. As the crowd squinted against the glare, two figures emerged, standing tall and resolute side by side.It was Jasper and Landon. Clad in a sleek black suit, Landon bore traces of dust but appeared otherwise unscathed. Jasper, however, was a stark contrast. His clothes were torn and bloodied, his appearance disheveled, but his demeanor was anything but defeated. Standing straight and proud, his frigid stare was enough to make the crowd shrink back, unwilling to meet his eyes."Mr. Justin," Landon began, his voice sharp and cutting, "you've gone to great lengths to keep Jasper from this press conference."Ever the rebel with the air of a street-hardened fighter, Landon didn't mince words. "To stop him, you sent assassins to ambush him. You had your people block his way in the

Meanwhile, the light above one of Taylor General Hospital's emergency surgery theaters flickered off. Moments later, the door swung open, and a doctor emerged, pulling down his surgical mask. Mandy hurried toward the doctor, her eyes brimming with worry. "How is that poor man doing?" "Mrs. Taylor, it's fortunate you brought him in when you did. Ten minutes later, and we might not have been able to save him. He went into shock from excessive blood loss, but he's stable now. I gave him a transfusion and sutured his wounds. He'll need rest and proper nutrition to recover fully."Relief washed over Mandy, and her tense body slackened. Her knees nearly buckled as she murmured, "Thank God… Thank God!" Once the doctor departed, Mandy instructed her driver to purchase the best blood-replenishing supplements available, sparing no expense.The driver had only been employed by the Taylor family for the past two years, so he was unaware of the true reasons behind Mandy's actions. To him, h

Soon enough, Jasper and Jonah found themselves surrounded by a horde of fighters. The atmosphere was charged with a vicious, merciless tension that heightened their awareness. They were now in the underground parking lot of Berenike Hotel.This was one of the Beckett family's properties, with Newton overseeing the construction personally.Berenike Hotel had always been the leader among all the five-star hotels in Solana City. Yet, on this day, when a critical press conference was about to begin, Justin chose to start a massacre in the hotel's parking lot, disregarding the potential damage to the hotel's reputation. His actions were utterly insane and perverse. "Shall we each take down ten of them?" Jonah nudged Jasper with his elbow. Narrowing his eyes, he added, "The press conference starts in ten minutes. Think you can wrap this up by then?"A cold, fierce glint flashed in Jasper's usually dull eyes. "I'll take down 15 and leave five for you." "Why only five for me?"Jasp

The golden iris stood as a symbol of triumph."Ms. Alyssa, we're on track. We'll make it to the press conference on time!" Sean declared, stepping on the accelerator with a fiery look in his eyes. "Safety first," Alyssa reminded him in a calm, steady voice. Surprisingly, at this crucial juncture, she appeared composed. "Taty is due soon, and you're about to become a father. As a family man, you shouldn't be as reckless as before." The thought of his unborn son brought a blissful smile to Sean's face, softening his fiery resolve.Alyssa closed her eyes, though her mind remained in overdrive. The truth was, she was forcing herself to stay alert. Ever since Amber's disappearance, she hadn't had a single restful night. The once carefree Alyssa, who could sleep through anything, was long gone. Her frayed nerves left her in a weakened state, but she held on.She had survived when others hadn't, and that resilience fueled her belief that she could endure again. This time, she wou
