Javier asked, "At this hour?"Javier lifted his wrist and looked at his watch. He furrowed his brows slightly. "He should know Jasper isn't home right now. Besides, it's almost dinner time. And for him to come now …""Oh, Javier, why are you overthinking it? It's rare for Mr. Harper to pay us a visit. Maybe he's here for Betty," said Sophia in a honeyed voice as she linked her arms with Javier."Sophia, what do you mean? Don't tell me Landon and Betty …" Javier was taken aback."You're always so busy, and you don't pay much attention to Betty. You don't even know what's going on in her mind.""Betty has had her eye on Mr. Harper for quite some time," said Sophia reproachfully as her slender fingers gently poked Javier's chest. Javier stared in astonishment. "Betty likes Landon? Why haven't I noticed at all?""Oh, you know how girls are easily embarrassed. How can they just put it straight like that?" replied Sophia. Sophia also had an embarrassed look on her face. It was as i

Landon was in no rush to go back after leaving the room. Instead, he wandered around aimlessly in the Beckett family's mansion. In truth, he was strolling aimlessly, hoping to run into someone special. His heart yearned for that petite lady who always appeared downtrodden, her head hanging low.He wasn't exactly a saint, but his heart always had a soft spot for that delicate and seemingly forlorn young lady."Mr. Harper? Why are you here?" Rosie asked in astonishment as she unexpectedly ran into him."Uh … Uh … I …" Landon looked sheepish and couldn't find the right words to say after stammering for a while. Finally, he gathered his courage and mumbled, "Mrs. Rosie, where's Lauren?"Rosie looked at him in bewilderment. She couldn't associate Landon with Lauren in any possible way. There was no way that this could be happening. "What are you trying to do? Mr. Harper, don't you dare to scare her! She's still young and doesn't get to meet people often."Landon arched his brow. "M

Lauren extended her hand toward Landon, her face partially buried between her knees. "Give it back to me …""I saved your teddy bear last night. Can't you give me this painting in return?"Landon leaned against the desk, his well-built arms supporting him. "I really like this painting. Will you give it to me, please?""I've already prepared your pre-present," Lauren uttered timidly, her toes curling inward."Where is it?" Landon's eyes lit up in excitement.After around ten minutes, Landon was back in his Ferrari.He couldn't stop smiling from the immense, unprecedented satisfaction. He held a cake box in his left hand and the neatly rolled portrait from earlier in his right hand.He had been secretly hoping he could get a painting from Lauren when he saw the painting she gifted to Newton on his birthday.A one-of-a-kind painting created just for him. He couldn't believe that his dream came true. And that joy and satisfaction he felt was indescribable. Pleased, Landon kept th

Sean was panting as he rushed back to Alyssa's place, the chilly fall air clinging to him. His forehead glistened with sweat. Alyssa didn't immediately ask him about the outcome; instead, she strode to the coffee table and poured him a glass of warm water. She handed the glass over to him and said, "Take a rest first and have some warm water. It's cold outside, isn't it?"As Sean took the glass, the tips of his chilly fingers brushed against Alyssa's. It felt warm, and his heart skipped a beat."Have a seat and relax."Alyssa turned and sat on the couch. She had her legs crossed beneath her nightgown and her peach-colored velvet slippers perched on the tips of her toes.Sean's face was slightly flushed as he held the glass awkwardly in his hands. He took a moment to regulate his breathing before speaking, "Ms. Alyssa, everything turned out just as you expected. Bryan and Abigail knew each other, and they're much more than just friends!"Alyssa smiled. "Even if I knew what's

It was midnight. Jasper sat by the window in his study room, pouring himself a glass of red wine.The glass he was using at the moment was one of the presents Alyssa had given him. It was a pair of Baroque-style crystal wine glasses. The clear clinking of these glasses indicated their top-notch craftsmanship and exquisite quality. As he sipped the wine, he couldn't help but wonder if when she had gifted him these glasses, she had thought of spending a lifetime together with him.Jasper frowned. The wine in his mouth suddenly tasted even more bitter than a bitter gourd. Right at that moment, a knock sounded at his door. Xavier entered the room with several documents. "Mr. Beckett, I've completed the investigation on Abigail, just as you instructed. Rest assured, I even found information on where her ancestors are buried! Absolutely no oversight!" Xavier declared confidently. Previously, Jasper hadn't left a good impression on Alyssa because of Xavier. This time, he was parti

After the last meeting, the team members regained their hope. The once disheartened team became motivated again. Alyssa was an inspirational leader. Her employees weren't just her staff. They were also her devoted fans, captivated by her dazzling personality. Today, she was beaming with joy as she showed up for the regular meeting. During the meeting, she announced, "Ada has agreed to meet with me tonight. Whether it's going to succeed—let's put that aside first. At least it's a good start."The team members cheered. Bryan was the only one sitting at the far end. Although he had a delightful expression, his eyes showed no trace of joy. "Although we breached the contract first, I believe Ada's not a rigid person. I'm confident that my latest proposal can outperform the Beckett Group. And once she reviews it, she'll definitely be more pleased with it than the first version," Alyssa declared confidently. "Ms. Alyssa! You've got to show us!""Of course, I'd like to show it to e

Bryan's eyes were nearly popping out of their sockets. He staggered one step backward, almost losing his balance. "Do you still have anything to say now, given the multitude of witnesses and concrete evidence?"Sean was already considering what punishments Bryan should suffer. When he thought about how much Alyssa had endured in the past few days because of that wretched Bryan, his hatred for him ran so deep that his eyes turned red with loathing."I've got nothing to say."Although Bryan was petrified, his love for Abigail surprisingly overcame the fear. He had the courage and confidence to confront Alyssa and Sean. He confessed, saying, "It was me who stole the proposal and sold it to the media. I did it all. I'm willing to accept the consequences."But his defiant tone and the tension in his corded neck clearly contradicted what he had just said. Bryan was obviously defiant. Sean clenched his jaw. Seeing how defiant Bryan was, he really wanted to punch him in the face.
Can't Win Me Back Chapter 419
Bryan was cursing outrageously at Alyssa, as if she had killed his mother, bullied his wife, and desecrated his ancestors' graves. Sean was seething with anger upon hearing those words. However, Alyssa remained unfazed. Instead, she smiled and said, "Huh, this is quite interesting.""What did you say?" Bryan suddenly became flustered."I said, Abigail is quite interesting." Alyssa reached greedily for another piece of chocolate. Seeing her indulging in sweets, Sean couldn't help but smile. "You've only known Abigail for two months, and she has managed to outmaneuver you. You're even willing to sacrifice your future and challenge the conglomerate. Tsk, Ms. Grant is really something.""Alyssa, you're in no position to mock her! You're just an unscrupulous executive who abuses her power! If it weren't for you, Abigail could have had a good life as the heiress of the Grant family—you've ruined her life!"Bryan's emotions spiraled out of control as he bellowed, "Corrupt conglomera

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
