Can't Win Me Back Chapter 266
After nearly a week spent in the Investigative Bureau, Sophia finally walked out, heaving her tired body like a lump of sand. Without her makeup and skincare routine, she seemed to have aged an additional decade. Even her hair had more gray strands than before.She avoided the crowd of reporters and decided not to go home first. Javier would probably pass out at the sight of her. So Betty accompanied her to a beauty parlor, where she could wash up, pluck away her gray hairs, and put on some makeup before going back."We'll go see Liana first." Sophia plucked away the hair around her lips as she spoke. "I have to check up on her. She's my niece, after all. That way, your Dad's image of me will maintain."She couldn't have her carefully crafted persona of twenty-five years crash just like that."I couldn't believe she pulled such a trick, Mom!" Betty cried. She hated Liana. Yet, she couldn't help but feel upset by the memory of that bloody bathtub. "Whether or not Jasper takes the ba

Sophia's face was lined with tears as she gazed sadly and lovingly at Javier. "I thought I'd never see you again. I've suffered so much, Javier. I was so scared …"Javier did not feel an ounce of pity for her right now. He had undergone too much these past few days to spend energy making her feel better. Just then, the news channel came on the television. It was news of KS Group's CEO, Jonah Taylor, signing the Verdane Valley project joint venture with Orlander Hodgson and his company. The two exchanged contracts, then shook hands as the reporters frantically took pictures of this historical moment. Jasper stared at the screen, hand slowly tightening around his glass. Javier's face was darkening at the same time.Their milk was spilled, and it was all because of Alyssa Taylor!Sophia's heart skipped a beat, and then she quickly grabbed Javier's arm. "Ms. Alyssa is too cruel to us! How have we offended her? She not only stole our company's project, but she even tried to send me t

Rosaline sat beside Liana, consoling her. "Your uncle spent a lot of money to hire Mr. Simon to save your aunt from the Bureau. Clearly, he cares deeply for her. "I'm sure now that your aunt is able to help, you'll definitely be able to marry Jasper! Hasn't he been coming over frequently? I'm confident your relationship has grown even closer!"She was grinning like a fox who had eaten the canary, feeling that her position as an in-law to the Beckett family was now 100% secure. Rosaline added, "You know what Jasper's temper is like. He would never have come if he didn't like you anymore.""I guess so … I just… don't feel good about all this," Liana said as she recalled the look Jasper had given her earlier today. "Yes, he's been by my side all these days, but it feels like he's changed.""That's enough. Don't go overthinking now."Just then, the door opened. It was Jasper.Liana swiftly put up her frail, meek mask. "Jas-Jasper …"Jasper went up to her side, his expression flat

Alyssa couldn't understand Winston's persistence. She wondered why she couldn't have a say in the matter. "I'm in a meeting, Winston. We can chit-chat in private, not here," she grunted lowly."Chit-chat? Your marriage is no mere chit-chat!" Winston snorted. "If you want to become KS Group's CEO, then you have to attend this!"Alyssa cursed silently at Winston. She couldn't help but wonder if Jasper had put him up to this. "Alright, fine! But not today. I'm in a meeting now!" Alyssa sighed. She was taking things slow now, never taking more than she could chew."Hmph. Alright. You can't refuse forever."Alyssa scowled, thinking to herself, "Try harder, old man!"The rest of the meeting went by awkwardly, with the team members fearful of upsetting Alyssa and getting into trouble.Afterward, Alyssa returned to her office and lay back on her sofa, resembling a robot that had run out of battery—utterly motionless.Sean came into the room with coffee, asking, "Is something wrong w

As a result of Winston's grave concern and meddling, Alyssa's blind dating schedule had been expedited.She was putting on makeup in the bathroom while listening to Sean reading her schedule on the iPad from the outside."Lunch at 11:30 am with Mr. Manning of Hutton Group; tea break at 1:30 pm with the eldest son of Sandhurst Inc.'s Mr. Coppola; attend a privately booked musical at 3:30 pm with the second son of Zoleva Corp's Mr. Cruz …"She was taken aback upon hearing that because that meant one blind date every two hours. Her schedule was more hectic than the president of a nation!Soon, she emerged from the bathroom after her makeup session. Sean burst into laughter upon seeing her. "Ms. Alyssa, you went pretty hard."She wore a huge curly wig and drew some freckles on her face. A patch of black stuff was underneath her nose, like a mustache. She rested an arm against the doorframe and made a gesture of picking her nose."Is this 'going hard'? I was thinking of drawing some s

Alyssa had to wonder if her suitors truly fell for her charm underneath her hideous appearance or if they were too eager to marry the daughter of Winston Taylor. Even she would barf at her own face. How did they remain calm in front of her?Power was indeed a great motivator, prompting her suitors to turn a blind eye to her looks.Thankfully, she had plan B ready.During her lunch with the first suitor, she suggested showing off her talent by reading his fortune through palmistry. She informed the man that he had the health of a seventy-year-old despite being only thirty, causing his face to fall as he stormed out of the venue.During her tea break with the second suitor, she kept staring at the space behind the man until he felt a shiver down his spine."Ms. Taylor, what are you staring at?""Dylan, there's a kid standing behind you. He's looking at you. Are you sure you don't want him to join us?" Her voice took a creepy turn. "He looks … pretty … pitiful …"Dylan Coppola fl

"Why are you … here?" Alyssa was caught by surprise. She looked adorable and innocent with the freckles on her face and a head of messy hair.Jameson Schmidt had a smile in his eyes as he pressed his lips together. "Can't I be your suitor?"Her lips formed a taut line as she struggled to answer his question. He resolved the awkwardness with a gentle smile that made his question sound like a harmless joke."May I take a seat?" asked Jameson gentlemanly."Please do," she replied graciously.Jameson did not look much different from their first encounter. He looked refined and suave, dressed in a striped emerald couture suit and wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses."Ms. Taylor, you are rocking a rather adorable and unique style today." He squinted. "You don't have to act in front of me, though. Just be yourself."She coughed in awkwardness. "I don't recall having you as my date. Why are you here?""Because I know that you must have wanted to meet me again. I feel the same too." H

Jameson smiled and sipped his tea with poise and grace, like a noble gentleman from a regency novel. He chatted with Alyssa for a bit.From their conversation, she learned that he had been caring for his mother in Kontina. Due to Alzheimer's, Lily Schmidt was unable to take care of herself anymore. Despite multiple opportunities to return to Solana City, Jameson chose to stay in Kontina and build his career there.Alyssa recalled that Jameson came from a rather complicated family. There were four Schmidt siblings in total, with Jameson being the youngest. His two brothers and a sister were the offspring of the first wife, while Jameson was born to the second wife of the Schmidt Family.She knew little about Lily, who was once a close family friend. She even paid a visit to the Schmidts' manor, but Lily left no impression on her at all."So, why did you come home this year?" asked Alyssa."I'm coming back to where I belong. After all, I'm the son of the Schmidt family. I want to ta

Amber's eyes reddened as she darted toward the trapdoor in The Millennium, tears streaming down her face.Remy had let her go. He actually spared her! Didn't this prove that he was Damien? That his true nature lingered, even if his memories of the past had been lost?Hope and excitement bubbled within her as she ran. She had to reach Alyssa immediately and share this evidence—this incredible news!Emerging from the trapdoor, Amber navigated the tangled paths among the weeds on the mountain behind The Millennium.Suddenly, she froze. Her breath hitched. Beams of white light shone from all directions, focusing on her. The cold, unyielding spotlights told her everything—she was surrounded, the target of an ambush. Amber's heart pounded in her chest. Cold sweat slicked her palms as her fingers clenched tightly around her dagger. The veins on the back of her hand throbbed with adrenaline.Six assassins in black emerged from the shadows, their flashlights cutting through the gl

Amber glared at Remy through her bloodshot eyes, thrusting her gleaming blade toward his chest. In her early days of being Jameson's follower, the first lesson drilled into her was how to kill quickly and efficiently. Refinement wasn't necessary—only results mattered. Yet, despite mastering the techniques, she had never put them into practice. Deep down, Amber feared the sight of blood and loathed the idea of taking a life.And now, of all people, it was Remy forcing her to cross that line.The blade's tip hovered mere inches from Remy's heart when hesitation gripped her. Axel's voice echoed in her mind, raw with emotion. "Amber, I keep feeling that Remy is my fifth brother, Damien. We miss him… We want him to come home!"Her pupils dilated. The blade wavered, its deadly intent dissipating.That single moment of doubt was all Remy needed. With a calm, calculated motion, he seized her wrist and twisted it sharply.Amber gasped in pain, her grip faltering as the blade clattered

The password to Jameson's room was Alyssa's birthday. Jameson had always believed himself to be a devoted man, taking pride in that notion. Yet, in Amber's eyes, his devotion was nothing more than a pathetic joke—a sentiment she couldn't help but detest.Taking a steadying breath, Amber began rummaging through the drawers and shelves with swift precision.Years of observation had taught her that Jameson had hidden several secret compartments in this room, places meant to conceal vital information. Unless Jameson or Carl disclosed their existence, even the police might not have uncovered them.After what felt like an eternity, sweat beading on her forehead, Amber discovered a hidden compartment beneath a floor sculpture.As she pried the brick loose, her breath hitched. Inside the compartment lay a waterproof plastic bag containing a document and a USB drive.Amber retrieved the document. Her heart raced as she realized its contents—a research report from Mosgravia's RC Biotech

Ever since getting together with Axel, Amber had lived each day in bliss. Yet, when Winston assured her that he truly accepted her and approved of her marriage to Axel, that bliss reached its peak. For so long, Amber had struggled with feelings of inferiority, never truly believing she deserved Axel's love. Deep down, she had resolved to step away if Winston disapproved or insisted Axel marry a woman from a reputable family—a match more fitting of his status.She wouldn't have hesitated to leave if it meant sparing Winston and Axel any conflict. Amber loved Axel wholeheartedly and was willing to sacrifice everything for him.But instead of rejection, she found warmth. The Taylor family embraced her as one of their own, showing her kindness and understanding rather than disdain for her past.She could never repay such compassion. "Winston… Thank you. Thank you…" Amber's tear-filled eyes glistened, their brightness undimmed despite all the darkness she had endured. Winston s

Amber stifled a laugh and teased, "Stop talking, Mr. Whitaker. You're going to sound like a broken record if you keep going." …After breakfast and a quick packing session, Axel departed from Heightsnew Villa. Amber spent her day helping the Taylors with various tasks. She assisted Mandy in organizing documents for Lovelace Group's projects, helped Lyla with cooking, and even joined Colene in feeding her horse. With Tatiana's due date approaching, Amber also pitched in for her shower preparations.Amber had always been a diligent person, but today, she seemed particularly intent on keeping herself busy. She was counting down the hours until nightfall. After dinner, the Taylors sat in the living room and chatted casually as they always did. The warm, familial atmosphere filled the space, and Amber joined in, her perceptive nature making her a seamless part of the group.When everyone retired to their rooms, Amber rose to help the helpers clear the table. "Amber." Startled

Axel and Amber had only spent half a month together before the former was called back to report for work. The night before his departure, they spent hours lost in each other, their passion unrelenting. Again and again, they exchanged kisses, their love pouring forth in an endless tide."Amber, three months… Just give me three more months." When their fervor finally waned, Axel held Amber close in his arms. They rested against the headboard, leaning into one another, too exhausted to move yet unwilling to let sleep claim them."Once I finish all the missions I've taken on, I'll hand in my resignation. After that, I'll spend all my time with you," Axel murmured, his voice steady with resolve. "We'll go wherever you want. If you want fun, I'll have fun with you. If you want chaos, I'll spend my life going crazy with you."Axel wasn't one for flowery words. He simply spoke from the heart. Right now, his heart only wanted Amber—forever.Amber nestled closer, her soft smile masking t

"Sir." Sheryl immediately stood and greeted Justin respectfully as he entered the room. "What are you doing here?" Justin's cold gaze swept over her as he strolled leisurely to the couch and sat down.Sheryl quickly explained, "I received a parcel for you from the administrative secretary half an hour ago. I thought it might be something important, something you wouldn't want too many people to handle. So, I waited for you to return and open it personally.""A parcel?" Justin frowned. Why would anyone send him a parcel to Beckett Group, of all places? How strange. Sheryl presented the parcel to him with both hands. He took it from her and then opened it right before her. After removing three layers of wrapping, each from outside and inside the box, the parcel turned out to contain only a plain white envelope. His expression darkened. It felt like someone was toying with him.Then, he looked down and opened the envelope, which contained a stack of photographs. Pinching a co

"Don't be so pessimistic, Jonah," Alyssa said. Perhaps having just seen Jasper and going through that heart-stopping moment made Alyssa emotional. Tears welled up in her eyes as she continued, "If you truly love someone, you don't need to possess him to find happiness. Isn't it enough to know he's alive, well, and living freely somewhere in this world?""You're right, Lyse." Sorrow filled Jonah's voice as he smiled bitterly. "Julien has already lost and sacrificed too much for my sake. I don't deserve to have such a good man. He'll only find true happiness by leaving me."…After Justin took over as president of Beckett Group, his first move was to wrest control of the A5 Project bid from Jasper's hands.Though Jasper had failed as the leader of Beckett Group, as the eldest son, it was only natural for Justin to inherit the position of power. Justin was aware of lingering opposition within the corporation. Some doubted whether he possessed the decisiveness and singular capabili

Sebastian understood what Alyssa wanted. There wasn't substantial proof to prove that Jasper had abused drugs in the first place. The substance found in his blood was simply supporting evidence. As long as they found the right opportunity to reveal that, it wouldn't completely exonerate him, but it could at least divert public suspicion."Okay, okay… I'll do that. I'll do everything you say!" Sebastian promised. …After emerging from the Bender residence, Landon took Zayne away to keep him under close watch and ensure Sebastian wouldn't retract his statement. Landon planned to release him only after Sebastian fulfilled Jasper and Alyssa's request."Landon, it's really nice to see you. How's Lauren doing lately?" Afraid of looking at Jasper, Alyssa had no choice but to speak with Landon."She's doing great." A tender look came across Landon's eyes at the mention of Lauren. Landon blushed and continued, "We're now trying for a baby." "Really? That's wonderful!" Alyssa was
