Tyler said, "Isn't this what you wanted? You can stop the act now." Tyler then pressed Tatiana up against a tree trunk and leaned in to kiss her."No!" Tatiana screamed, closing her eyes as tears began falling from them.Suddenly, a loud yelp was heard, followed by Tyler cursing, "Fuck!" Slowly, Tatiana opened her eyes. She saw a familiar figure standing before her, deftly throwing Tyler over his shoulder.Sean then knelt down, grabbed Tyler's lapel, and began punching his face repeatedly.Frightened, Tatiana cried, "Stop! Stop it!" She ran up to Sean to grab him so he would stop hitting Tyler. She was scared Sean would actually kill the boy."You … How dare you? Do you have any idea who I am?" Tyler grunted out weakly, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He glared at Sean, yelling, "My dad is Crowley Corp's President! Hit me again, and I'll make your life hell!""The name's Sean Lynch, from Belbanks." Sean's voice was tinged with anger. Still, he forced himself to calm dow

Jasper ended up meeting Landon in a newly opened club in Solana City. Landon's tables were filled with all kinds of wine. He held one right now, belting out his lungs to "Live or Let Die."Jasper reclined on the luxurious sofa with a shot of whisky in hand. He looked like some sullen Adonis, exuding a strong, potent air even in the dim surroundings of the room."So live and let die!" Landon yelled into the microphone.It was nearly enough for Jasper to crush his shot glass into pieces.If he had known Landon for two years less, he wouldn't be sitting here keeping the loser company or enduring this torture.Jasper took a painful swallow of his whiskey."My man! Burp!" Landon called, heaving a loud burp before falling onto the couch beside Jasper. He reached out to hook an arm around his friend's shoulders, asking, "How was my singing? Terrific, no?"Jasper frowned and moved away, making Landon fall flat on his face on the sofa. "You're terrific if you were a donkey in heat.""Fu

"I'm sorry, Ms. Alyssa, Ms. Tatiana. Please have a safe trip home," Sean said with a sigh. "I'll be leaving now. But please, contact me if there's anything urgent, and I'll come to your aid immediately!""Alright, alright. You nag more than women do," Alyssa scowled, gently pushing him onward.Sean gazed at her for a moment more before finally leaving with a smile.The sight filled Tatiana up with envy, a bitter feeling rising from her heart to her throat. But she wasn't jealous of her sister at all. Alyssa truly was a marvelous and exceptional woman. It made perfect sense for Sean to have a crush on her instead.Someone as weak and soft-spoken as Tatiana herself would never get his attention.But then, why did Alyssa's ex-husband divorce her?Maybe he had cancer and didn't want to become a burden …Alyssa had booked a VIP room for them at the karaoke. A bone-chilling wail came from the opposite room when they reached its door."So scary!" Tatiana grabbed onto her sister's arm.

"You really are Little Bastard!" Alyssa cackled joyfully.The man smiled, the coldness in his eyes dissipating instantly. He tucked his glasses back, reminiscing on the nickname he had been called so long ago.Even his father stopped calling him that years ago. Yet Alyssa was still the same old as before, unrestrained and always doing whatever she pleased."You're as beautiful as ever, even after fifteen years, Alyssa.""Hehe … You're not bad yourself!" Alyssa grinned, patting his cheek. The man's smile deepened. He did not shy away from her touch. Now, this was the Alyssa he'd always remembered.She covered her mouth, burping once again. This time, her knees started shaking. She was unable to hold herself up any longer.The man smirked and lifted her into his arms right away, feet off the floor."Hey, put me down!" Alyssa cried, wriggling away from his grasp like a feisty kitten. Her burgundy-red dress made the nicest contrast with her pale, milky skin.Feeling a sudden desi

Xavier said, "Sir, I'll tell you, but you have to promise not to … not to get angry …"Jasper demanded, "Spill it!""Well, um …" Xavier nervously swallowed. "I saw … I saw her open one of the VIP room doors, and then … and then someone wearing spectacles carried her inside …"Something imploded in Jasper's mind. "Which room? Take me there, now!"…Jameson's secretary soon returned with ginger supplements. Jameson fed some to Alyssa and then helped her ease it down with warm water.The sight left his secretary gaping in utter shock. His boss had always been cold-hearted and cruel. One never knew what schemes he had in mind when he looked at you. He barely saw him have any women around too. So, who was this young woman being tended to by his boss tonight?Was this … Was his boss courting her?Tsk! Men truly were no match for women."Are you feeling better?" Jameson asked kindly once the flush reduced from Alyssa's cheeks.Alyssa held a hand to her chest. Her stomach was churn
Can't Win Me Back Chapter 248
Jameson froze up on the spot, his heart clenching painfully for a brief second.Alyssa had fumed so hard her cheeks had gone flushed again. She glared at Jasper, yelling, "How low are you stooping now, Jasper Beckett? Let me go now! I am not going anywhere with you!"Jasper let her scream and pull, never letting go throughout. He felt like nothing more mattered in this world right now besides taking Alyssa away from this place, from this stranger.Seeing her being in a room alone with the stranger, having drunk so much, was unbearable for him. He never expected Alyssa to be capable of something like this."Let me go, Jasper, right—ah!"Jasper bent down and lifted her over his shoulder, hand locking on her waist as he marched straight for the door."Put me down, you jacka—I'm gonna hurl!" Alyssa cried, beating at his shoulder with all her might. Her stomach was churning so badly. She was going to retch at any time."I'm not stopping you." Jasper eyed her sternly and continued wal

"Not one bit!" Jasper snarled, not holding back his thoughts."Hahaha … You're out of your mind, Beckett!" Alyssa yelled, pulling her hand away from his grip. "What? You can have the love of your life, but I can't see anyone else? What kind of monopolistic, egoistic bullshit is this? I'm not some slave, you jackass!"Her words stabbed into Jasper's heart like blades.He recalled how close Alyssa had been in proximity with the spectacled man, and fury rose in his being once again. Her gaze had been molten and warm, and what could have happened next made Jasper dread.All he felt now was the need to possess her, to keep her and shield her from everyone else."Interesting private life you have, Ms. Alyssa." Pain, rage, and jealousy coursed through Jasper's chest. "Why such a big room all to yourselves? Worried you won't have enough fun?"He was trying to enrage her, to upset her, yet all he seemed to be doing was making himself even more upset. "Pft, hahahah!" Alyssa tossed he

Alyssa walked back to her VIP room. She was sober, and her good mood had dissipated. What kind of coincidence was she experiencing to be able to meet Jasper here, of all places? Maybe she should get a lucky charm or something to keep her from this shitty luck.Just then, a pair of warm hands wrapped around her arm.Alyssa looked at who it was and smiled when she saw it was Tatiana. "I'm … I'm okay, Taty.""Was that … Was that your ex-husband, sis?" Tatiana asked curiously."Mhm.""Wow! He's so hot!" Tatiana's eyes were wide with admiration. "I thought Jonah, Silas, Liam, and Axel were handsome already. I didn't expect anyone else to be able to top them. "Your ex has that kind of striking hotness, like a beach model or something. Is he really just a company CEO and not some kind of superstar?"Alyssa cupped her forehead, scowling, "Striking hotness, my ass … He's not even an oven.""No wonder Mom said he was hotter than Kris Hensworth! I didn't believe her at first, because s

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

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
