Can't Win Me Back Chapter 440
The opal necklace incited a wave of awe and gossip to resound through the hall. Anyone could see just how fine the craftsmanship of the opals was and instantly estimated its value to be at least seven digits.The Schmidt family was truly being generous tonight by donating this piece!Just then, a spotlight fell on Jameson, making the crowd turn their attention to him. Many gasped and squealed at how refined this man looked.Yet he only had eyes for Alyssa, as if she was the only thing that mattered."Who is he? He's so handsome. He looks like some carved marble statue!""That must be someone from the Schmidt family. How else could such a precious jewelry piece be available tonight?""I've never seen him before!""Hmm, if he's already contributing this much to Ms. Alyssa, does that mean … they're together?""So what if they are? Ms. Alyssa is a modern-day Queen Sheba. They match very well together!"The more Jasper was privy to these conversations, the more irritated he was. Wi

There were no longer any new bidders for the time being. Alyssa was still pleased with the result, however."Seven million."A deep, sonorous voice rang out from behind her, making her expression fall.The unexpected bid caught the crowd's attention, prompting them to turn and identify the speaker swiftly.Jasper was in the last row, his paddle raised high in the air. He exuded sheer confidence and stability among the gawking guests."It's Jasper Beckett from the Beckett Group!""When did he get here? I didn't see him at all tonight!""He's so handsome …"Jasper gazed steadily at Alyssa, his paddle never once lowering. But she never turned around.Seven million, and she wouldn't even spare him a glance. It looked like he would have to continue bidding. "Seven million is a tad bit overpriced for this necklace," Yves said, shaking her head. She disapproved of Jasper's action. "Just because you can doesn't mean you should.""At least it will help those orphanages," Alyssa grum

Neither of them expected Ada to donate that necklace tonight.How could this be?The two women instantly glanced at one another, unable to say a word right now, given their distance. The hall erupted into an ecstatic frenzy with the reveal of Alexa's necklace. The experts in the jewelry field all craned their necks to get a good look at the piece, in awe of this legendary necklace.Both Jasper and Jameson leaped to attention, eager to bid for the necklace."Why are you standing up? Sit down! Don't you see everyone's looking at you?" Sophia hissed, dragging Betty back down into her seat. "F-Fuck … We're screwed, Mom," Betty whispered fearfully."What? What are you saying?" "I … I was the one who gave Ada that necklace.""You what? Where did you get your hands on one of Alexa's creations?" Sophia exclaimed, then got angry. Sophia continued, "How could she just give it away like that? Isn't that just outright slapping you in the face? And you, how dare you give it to her and

"This has always been the motivation behind Alexa's jewelry design. Being a loyal fan of her work, I plan to follow in her footsteps this way. "I hope this gesture also maximizes the kindness Ms. Betty has shown me by giving me such a precious gift," stated Ada. Betty couldn't publicly deny that any longer. All she wanted was for a hole to open up in the ground and swallow her up."Madam Ada has decided that, on account of the meaning and gravitas of this piece crafted by Alexa herself, there will be no minimum bidding amount!" the auctioneer announced."30 million," a clear voice rang out. Jameson raised his paddle, a smile on his face.30 million? That was the highest starting bid of the night so far! Were they planning to go up to billions?Alexa's creations were indeed worth that price, but it was still an exorbitant amount."50 million." Jasper slowly raised his paddle, his expression calm save for a glint of ferocity in his eyes.The crowd was shocked by his bid.

Both Jasper and Jameson turned to look at Alyssa, knowing she was pissed now. So, they stopped bidding."Congratulations, Ms. Alyssa! This one-of-a-kind necklace is yours!" The auctioneer gestured happily, swiftly knocking the gavel to halt all other bids.There was a two-second silence before the hall erupted into clamorous applause.Alyssa's flat expression never wavered, however."Alyssa bought the fake, Mom! Do you think she saw through it?" Betty asked frantically, heart pounding like a frightened rabbit."Be quiet! Do you want everyone to hear you?" Sophia hissed venomously, pinching Betty's arm. Sophia added, "Alyssa wouldn't have noticed it was a fake, nor would she ever anticipate one turning up at her own auction. You should be grateful she bid off that necklace!""But what if she finds out a—""That has nothing to do with you anymore! Even if she does, you can always claim she swapped it out in order to insult you." Sophia scowled.Betty had always admired her moth

Alyssa then bowed deeply to the crowd, a picture of utmost sincerity.The hall slowly quietened down."Next, I would like to clarify here and now that this necklace called 'Lacrima Dei' was my donation to the auction."The guests turned to Ada with astonished looks on their faces. She, in turn, turned to gaze incredulously at Betty.Betty turned to Zoe, but the latter was already out of her seat.Zoe had escaped before the shit hit the fan!Alyssa watched the show unfold, a smirk appearing on her lips. "I had no idea you would be donating this necklace tonight, Madam Ada. Please trust me when I say it was a pure coincidence.""W-Why would you have 'Lacrima Dei' too, Ms. Alyssa?" Ada asked, her confidence out the window.Alyssa pursed her lips. "What matters right now isn't why I have this necklace, Madam Ada. What matters is that your necklace was a fake."What? A fake? Turmoil and confusion swept through the crowd.Sophia did her best to keep her expression composed, but Bet

The crowd erupted into gasps of shock and awe once more.Alyssa Taylor was Alexa?Something imploded in Jasper's mind, blanking his thoughts out entirely. He felt like his soul had left his body, slowly drifting out like an astronaut in space.Alyssa was Alexa. She was the world-renowned, reclusive jewelry designer who had the world at her feet because of her stunning creations. She had been making a fool out of him all this time while he tried his best to invite her onto his team, likely enjoying her little games to no end.Jasper snarled, anger and awe pumping through his veins. "You … You lied to me again … You fucking lied to me again!"Why did she always hide her true self from him? During the three years of marriage, all she did was reduce herself to a meek, quiet little woman who acted like some maid in the house. Why degrade herself like this?Was this some other ploy to rub his ignorance in his face?Jasper ground his teeth together, heart hurting in his chest. He c

The crowd's attention was now on Betty, their impression of her crumbling into pieces.Jasper remained calm, as if he had expected this to happen. He hadn't been able to meet Alexa herself even when he flew all the way to Yoarkley to find her, so there was no way someone like Betty could have gotten her hands on one of Alexa's creations.Jasper's anger rose once again at the thought of being toyed with, and he shot Alyssa a glare.The latter narrowed her eyes, a scowl appearing on her face. She wondered why Jasper was staring at her like that. She felt that Jasper was behaving like a lunatic. Betty couldn't take the accusatory gazes and comments from the crowd anymore. She shakily hid behind her mother, quaking like a leaf in the wind.Ada cried, "Have you been lying to me from the start, Ms. Betty? How could you resort to something so debased and repulsive just to get me to choose your hotel?""I-I …" But Betty didn't know what to say anymore. She was covered in cold sweat by

"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
