Can't Win Me Back Chapter 425
Alyssa frowned. Why did that sound so weird? It was like someone had flavored a floral perfume with old socks.The atmosphere suddenly grew quiet. Neither spoke.After some time, Jasper said, "That's all I wanted to tell you. Goodnight.""Hey!" But Jasper had already hung up."What the hell? Was he drunk or something?" Alyssa grumbled, shaking her head as she switched off her phone.Meanwhile, Jasper was just realizing how clammy his hands were. His throat was burning dry, and his heart pounded wildly against his ribs like a caged animal.He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "Let what is a bane of my mind today pass on before the next light. May that which frequents my heart unchecked, leave …"…Abigail remained in a state of coma after the car accident. According to the doctor, she was near vegetative, with very little chance of reawakening. This came as wonderful news to Betty. She felt like Lady Luck was finally gracing her presence!She couldn't have anyone find

With Lyla's birthday, Winston's third wife, drawing near, Alyssa dedicated her nights to crafting a present in her room. It was a ring of pure gold, inlaid with natural aquamarine and diamonds.Craftsmanship-wise, this was a piece of cake. Only the aquamarine heightened the cost of the ring. It was a true blue, straight-from-the-mine crystal that was still attached to its host rock when she got it. Alyssa was always thorough and devoted when it came to the gifts she prepared for her loved ones.She used to be the same toward Jasper, too. Sadly, he never appreciated it.Just then, a video call request appeared on her phone. It was Sliva Nunez, her assistant from her jewelry design firm."There are very few reasons why you would call me at this hour," Alyssa said while polishing the crystal."Do you remember Tyson Nolan?" Sliva asked."Yeah. Why? He apprenticed under me for three years before starting a jewelry line of his own. He's a pretty gifted student.""You won't believe w

That night, the Beckett family got together for their monthly dinner with Newton. The atmosphere appeared cheerful and merry; even Betty helped serve her sister food and drink every now and then. It was as if they shared a close bond. Lauren stayed silent beside Jasper, not uttering a word since the beginning of the evening. Though she remained quiet, her determination was evident—every morsel of food Betty gave her was discreetly pushed to the side of the plate.Javier set his silverware down. "Dad, Sophia and I have something important in the works. We'd like to seek your opinion on it now that we've taken the time to consider it.""Why? If you two have decided, then there is no point in coming to me for approval." Newton tucked into some corn. Newton went on, saying, "I'm sure this wife of yours can give you all the opinions you need to hear. Haven't you relied on her all these years?"Sophia forced a smile, even though her chest was filled with hatred. She despised thi

"Watch your manners, Lauren! We're having dinner with Grandpa here!" Sophia quipped."Alright, alright. That's enough. It's just a fork. No reason to get upset at the girl," Newton retorted. Lauren was his favorite granddaughter, after all.Sophia clenched her fists angrily under the table. Everything she did was wrong in the eyes of this old man!"Grandpa, Mom, Dad … I'm done with my meal," Lauren said softly, then hurriedly left the table.Jasper's eyes narrowed as he watched his sister leave, and certain thoughts appeared in his mind.Betty's gleeful mood had increased double fold. She thought that Lauren didn't have to endure such a situation. Lauren could have remained the family's insignificant, almost invisible member for the rest of her life. Regrettably, Lauren had chosen to attempt to seduce her man. That was why she felt the need to teach Lauren a lesson and assert her dominance in the situation."But why Landon?" Newton asked with a frown. "Didn't he like Alice?"

"Oh?" Newton responded curiously, stroking his chin."Yeah, Dad," Sophia piped up, "When has someone like Landon ever personally gone to see another woman? "He clearly has Betty in his thoughts. He wouldn't have come by otherwise. Plus, Alyssa already has someone else."Jasper slowly turned his eyes to Sophia. He swallowed anxiously, as if trying to control a turbulent emotion.Newton was surprised to hear this. "Alice has a boyfriend? Who is it?""Victor Schmidt's youngest, Jameson." Sophia had gotten word of this from Liana herself. Even though there wasn't much evidence that the two were dating, she might as well bring this up to stop the old man from interfering with their plans."Alyssa is not dating Jameson Schmidt," Jasper finally spoke up, setting down his cutlery."But I heard they've already gone on several dates, like going to the flower gardens, orchestras …""They are not dating." Jasper's gaze glinted with invisible knives. "Hopefully, Sophia remembers not to sta

The counterfeit worked!Betty had nervously handed it to Ada. She had been terrified of being found out. In fact, she had even devised an escape plan in case she was discovered. Her excuse would involve claiming that she had been deceived by the "friend" who had given her the jewelry.Surprisingly, Ada didn't realize the jewelry was a counterfeit. She had to thank Alexa's disciple, Tyson Nolan, for that. Ada even tried the necklace on, grinning from ear to ear.That was how Ada decided she would work with Berenike Hotel. Just like that, Betty managed to carve a spot out for herself in the hotel's higher management—all without her mother's help!That night, Sophia celebrated with Betty on the balcony, popping bottles of champagne."Once Ada's wedding is over and your father entrusts you with full control of the hotel, you'll be set on the path to securing a position on the board of directors! "Then we can finally kick that bastard Jasper out of the picture!" Sophia exclaime

Jonah frowned, disapproving of how skintight her outfit was. "Are you going out for sports this late in the evening?""Yeah. I'm in a swell mood, Jonah. I have a kayak waiting for me in the river behind the house right this second!" Alyssa grinned."It's so dark out already. What if you fall into the water? You're not the best swimmer." Jonah pinched her waist. "And it's freezing out here, Alyssa. What if you get a cold?"He then turned to Sean, accusing, "What have you been doing? Why haven't you tried talking some sense into her?""My deepest apologies, Mr. Jonah!" Sean bowed profusely."Don't blame him, Jonah. He tried stopping me, but you know as well as I do, no one can stop me."The siblings went to sit on the couch, Alyssa resting on her brother's shoulder. "MINT's editor-in-chief just called me to confirm the auction's flow. Thank you so much for helping me get them onboard, Jonah."MINT magazine's editor-in-chief was fashionista and designer Yves Vanderbilt, a demoness

The night of the charity auction at KS World Hotel did not disappoint. Neither KS Group nor MINT had put much effort into promoting the event. But the local news media and netizens were still all over it like bees to honey, given it was in the name of charity. MINT was an internationally renowned magazine, after all. Anyone would kill to be featured, even an international celebrity.The event was filled with famous superstars that evening, from actors to singers to models. The hotel security was in full action, keeping the peace in and outside the venue. The guests cooperated as well, making sure to quickly make their way inside the hotel once they'd greeted their fans.When a limousine drove up to the hotel entrance, the commotion increased.Out came Sophia and Betty, dressed like sequined peacocks in elegant gowns. Unlike the other wealthy heiresses who arrived via the back entrance or the VIP lane, they chose to face the hundreds of flashing camera lights centered on the

"How about now? Is Ms. Altman at home?" Alyssa asked urgently."She isn't," Clark replied. "She drove out the back gate alone around 11:00 pm. Our security personnel stopped her then, but she said she was just going out for some fresh air because she had trouble sleeping. She promised she wouldn't be long, but it's strange—she hasn't returned even now."Alyssa's ears began to ring, her heart sinking like a stone.When she ended the call, her nightgown clung to her skin, drenched in cold sweat. Her trembling hand gripped the phone tightly.She thought of calling Jonah, but he was still searching for Julien in Mosgravia. He wouldn't be able to return in time. Silas wasn't home tonight; he was likely with Rose. Besides, he was more of an academic than a fighter—not someone who could help in a crisis. Getting him out of bed in the middle of the night couldn't possibly solve any of their problems. Axel had returned to his organization, leaving Cyrus as the only one accessible who mi

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
