Can't Win Me Back Chapter 2095
The atmosphere was heavy and tense. The theory Liam had formed through Winston was now confirmed by Axel. Massive waves of emotions surged within him. He felt like someone had pulled the rug from under him. Every ounce of energy drained from his otherwise unrelenting body, and he slumped forward. "Liam, Dad has been able to force himself to hold on because of Jonah and Julien, as well as Lyse and Jasper's efforts. It wasn't easy for them to journey with Dad and get through all that. He won't be able to take another blow or suffer again. "If you're unable to end it properly with that princess of yours, your relationship with her will surely become a threat to our family in the future." Axel narrowed his eyes. The look on his face was cold. "If you can't bring yourself to do it, I can do it on your behalf. I'm not afraid of embarrassing myself, and I'm not afraid of being mean either." "No. I don't need your help." Liam lowered his eyes and tried to hide away his pain. In

Jasper's chest tightened as he listened silently. "If he says 'yes' tonight, we will register our marriage first thing tomorrow morning." Jonah was always the calm and restrained type of person. At this moment, however, there was a sense of happiness in his voice. A slight tremble accompanied his every word, as if he was forcing himself to hold his excitement back. "Same-sex marriage is legal in Bernardia. There can be no better opportunity than this." "Congratulations, Jonah," Jasper said in a low voice, which carried a hint of envy. "I have been keeping this thought to myself for a really long time. I didn't know who to tell. It didn't feel right to tell Lyse either."Jonah chuckled awkwardly. "After thinking about it, I figured you are the only one I can tell." "It is my privilege to be the first to find out about your good news." Jasper smiled. He gave them his blessings from the bottom of his heart. "I give my sincerest blessings to the both of you. You and Julien m

Jasper's heart hammered against his ribs, a frantic drum solo threatening to burst through his chest. He clenched his hand into a fist against the door. "Why not?" Winston was perplexed. "Jasper treats you the best. The relationship between both of you has already stabilized, and you've lived together for so long. Why don't you just register your marriage? That way, things will get a lot easier once your relationship is legally recognized." Alyssa pressed her lips together lightly. "A marriage certificate makes no difference for Jasper and I." "How is there no difference? If you ask me, the most realistic way to express one's love is to give their lover a status that no one else can replace!" Winston's gaze was fiery, and he started getting a little emotional. "The only person I have married legally was your mother. She is the only one who has a special place in my heart. She was the only wife I had legally. Although it has been many years since she passed, her place in my hear

"I'm sorry, Lyse." Winston shut his eyes, which were now welled up with tears. "I can't tell you the reason. But please trust me on one thing—what your mother and I had was eternal. She's the only one I love, even till today." "Dad…""Truth be told, during those days when I was really ill, there was one thing I thought about every day. I thought about giving up on treatment and just letting it all go. That way, I would be able to be reunited with your mother in heaven sooner." Alyssa rested her head on Winston's knees and let out a long sigh. The ambiguity of Winston's response made her feel even more troubled. It gave her an even stronger desire to pursue the truth about Jennifer's life story. …Xavier was startled to see Jasper returning to his room. "That was a quick proposal, Mr. Beckett! Did madam say 'yes'?" Jasper shook his head dejectedly. "I didn't propose." "What? Why not? This is such a great opportunity!" "I'll wait for another chance in the future." Jas

The cloudless sky was a brilliant blue. After a long drive, the luxury car came to a stop outside a private manor. "We're here," Jonah announced. Jonah's broad frame dwarfed Julien's as he reached across to unbuckle Julien's seatbelt. All he felt was that the atmosphere around him was warm. It felt even warmer than sunshine. "Why isn't there anyone around? We're not in the wrong place, are we?" Julien blinked, a flicker of unease crossing his features. Julien was intelligent, but around his lover, his mind seemed to cloud over. Jonah easily manipulated him, taking advantage of Julien's lovestruck state."We're not. Maybe we're just early. Let's go." Jonah exited the car first, then circled around to open the door for Julien. This grand gesture left Julien speechless. He narrowed his eyes suspiciously."Why are you acting so attentive, Mr. Taylor? People aren't usually this nice without an ulterior motive."Jonah took Julien's hand and helped him out. He then gave Julie

"Julien." A familiar voice gently called out his name, prompting Julien to turn around. His eyes were red. Just a few steps away, Jonah stood in a smart, black formal outfit that matched Julien's. He had an outstanding air about him. Jonah had been wearing that outfit all along, concealed under his coat to keep it a surprise from Julien.In that moment, even Julien, often dense to subtleties, grasped what was happening. Overjoyed, he let out a shriek. Simultaneously, a bright streak shot up into the sky, blossoming into the words—Marry me!"Among a thousand roses, you are the only one in my heart."Jonah walked forward confidently, then knelt down, presenting a bouquet of the only bright red roses in the entire manor."I love you, Julien. Will you marry me?" The passion within him made his voice husky and extremely sexy. Fireworks burst in the blue sky, adding the final touch to this romantic proposal. Julien's eyes welled up. In the end, he cried before the love of h

News of Jonah and Julien secretly registering their marriage in Bernardia without their families' knowledge spread like wildfire. Within a day, their entire family knew.Although everyone had accepted Julien as Jonah's partner, they were still shocked to hear about the marriage between the two men.The next evening, Jonah and Julien, hand in hand, went to see Winston and Mandy.Alyssa and the other Taylor family members hurried over, fearing the couple would get a dressing down. "This is a major event. Why didn't the both of you inform Mandy and me?" As expected, Winston's displeasure was evident in his stern expression. Julien, towering beside Jonah, shrank back, not daring to breathe. He clung tightly to Jonah's hand, appearing entirely submissive."Dad, Mandy, this was all my idea," Jonah said firmly, intertwining his fingers with Julien's. His protectiveness was evident. "I planned everything behind Julien's back. He had no clue about the proposal until the very last mome

"I'm sorry, Dad," Jonah furrowed his eyebrows and smiled awkwardly. "Jonah, Julien, when are you having your wedding?" Everyone grew excited upon hearing Silas' question. The atmosphere became lively again. "I don't need a wedding. Jonah has given me the perfect proposal." Julien's eyes twinkled like the stars. He gazed deeply into Jonah's eyes. "I feel very happy. This is all I need." Jonah Taylor and Julien Lovelace, a match made in heaven. They were now married. …Happy times always flew by. Landon and Lauren remained at the estate to begin their long honeymoon together. One by one, the others returned to Solana City and Belbanks. As for Yuliana, she was quick-witted. She bid everyone goodbye and followed Miley back to Kontina. She never even glanced back at Liam as she left the estate.What she heard that night blew her mind. It made her feel like she was struck by lightning. When she thought about the possibility that their royal family had something to do wi

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
