Can't Win Me Back Chapter 471
Alyssa was quiet on the way from Belbanks to Solana City. There was no hint of her good mood from days ago. Her face was shrouded in gloominess.Back at the hotel, she kept Sean out and locked herself in her office. Then, she plunged into her investigations about Lyla's incident years ago."The anniversary celebration was the darkest moment in Lyla's life. Yet, it was because of this incident that her relationship with Winston Taylor blossomed," wrote an article."The internet was in its early stages back in those days. People read their news from magazines or newspapers. "Winston Taylor was rumored to have bought all the publications that reported on the incident and destroyed all the evidence to suppress the news. "On top of that, he meted out punishments for the reporters who penned stories on Lyla's mishap.""Still, there were some foreign media at the event. Someone filmed the incident and uploaded it to the internet. Winston Taylor had sent his men to take the videos down

Alyssa pursed her lips coldly, looking unbothered and even a little impatient. In contrast, Zoe was furious, almost ready to explode right then and there.For Zoe, Jasper openly taking his ex-wife's side felt like the harshest blow he could deliver.Why on earth would Jasper choose his former flame over her—an attractive, well-bred single lady? What made him go back to a woman he had once let go?Besides, Alyssa always had many men around her. She had been close to Landon before, and lately, she had been seen with someone named Jameson Schmidt, who wasn't particularly well-known. Who knew how many men she had been involved with?Zoe couldn't help but wonder why Jasper didn't find Alyssa repulsive."I heard that you brought Ms. Harper here to apologize. That was why I took the time to meet with you. You should know that I'm not just Alyssa Taylor but also the renowned designer, Alexa."Many are lining up to meet with me, spamming my secretary with calls. I don't have the time

Jasper inhaled sharply. That hit Zoe where it hurt."Tyler might be from Yoarkley, but he understood the importance of respecting one's mentor. He's my mentee, and he'll never betray our trust for short-term gains," Alyssa said with a smirk. She then added, "So, Ms. Harper, you made a mistake from the beginning. One shouldn't have underestimated the noble character of a gentleman with one's questionable values."It was a clear insult directed at Zoe.Jasper wore a grin on his lips despite looking calm. Landon's lips drooped as his face looked clouded, losing his composure.He had braced himself for Alyssa's straightforwardness but hadn't expected it to sting so deeply."Alyssa Taylor! You're a sly, devious bitch!" Zoe was seeing red. She pointed a finger at Alyssa, which only highlighted her farcical behavior. "Y-You acted like you didn't know I met with Tyler. You knew Betty would give Ada Kingsley that necklace, but you said nothing until the charity auction. Was that to hum

Alyssa decisively walked out of the door and added, "I will be donating the compensation to Solana City Hope Foundation. I won't take a single cent."Landon was surprised by her statement and then smiled wryly.Alyssa not only exuded ethereal beauty; she was strangely devoid of human emotions as well.…Alyssa returned to work in her office while Sean brought Landon to settle the compensation matters. As an attorney, Sean had itemized the compensation, which was an astronomical sum for the average citizen.That was the price for forging Alexa's work.Landon let out a heavy sigh when he looked at the agreement, a bitter taste in his mouth. He could afford to pay up, but the humiliation was too much.He had once truly loved Alyssa. Even though they weren't destined to be lovers, he still hoped to remain friends with her and never thought of hurting her.Sadly, their friendship seemed to drift further away with each passing day.On the way to the parking lot, Zoe was sobbing and

Sean returned to Alyssa's side after completing his task. He quizzed, "Are you really going easy on Ms. Harper? This is the nicest you've ever been."Sean couldn't help but smile when he noticed Alyssa's high heels carelessly strewn on the floor. He neatly placed them under her table.Meanwhile, Alyssa was engrossed in a gaming session, relaxing by wreaking havoc in the virtual world.Lucifer, also known as the Queen of Killers, had become a revered figure for most players in the gaming community. Every time she live-streamed her gameplay, she'd attract hundreds of thousands of viewers, further proving her popularity.She snickered. "Who do you take me as? Be kind to her? I'm an enthusiastic philanthropist, but I'm no Mother Teresa."I haven't dealt with her because I do not have solid evidence. Betty was her scapegoat, and she wasn't directly implicated. My hands are tied now.""Looks like Ms. Harper has really rubbed you the wrong way," Sean said indignantly. "She doesn't see

Alyssa squealed as a powerful force gripped her arm, pulling her into an embrace. She collided with Jasper's chest, feeling the warmth of his frenzied breath atop her head. A surge of warmth enveloped her.He hugged her tightly and heavily. It all felt strange yet familiar to her.He was perhaps worried she might twist her ankle from wearing high heels. So, he cinched his grip around her waist.His grasp was firm, charged with a mixture of complex emotions. On the one hand, he wanted to protect her; on the other hand, he worried she might escape."Jasper Beckett, how did you get in?" Her cheeks were flushed with anger as she struggled to free herself."Landon said the security here's tight, and it will take some effort to get in," Jasper said in a raspy, nonchalant tone, his gaze narrowing as he looked at her.Navigating past the hotel security was a breeze for the top graduate of the military school. Ever since assuming the presidency of the Beckett Group, he had his staff t

When Alyssa realized she was completely cornered, she yelled, "Help! Somebody—Mmph—"Jasper lost his composure when he heard her screams. Gripped by a sense of urgency, he sealed her mouth with a kiss and stopped her from shouting.Her eyes wavered, and her mind went blank like a grenade had gone off in her head.His hot breath surrounded her shaky lips. His sweaty palms held her wrist. Even his forehead was dotted with sweat.The last time he had kissed her so passionately, he was under the influence of alcohol. He had no better excuse for crossing the line this time."Jasper Beckett, you are divorced. You shouldn't do this," a voice in his mind warned.But he had lost his bearing of right and wrong and succumbed to passion. He was overcome by an urge to claim her.At that thought, his heart raced as he clung to the final shred of self-control. Eyes burning with lust, he had initiated the kiss to stop her from shouting, but it progressed into an aggressive kiss like he wanted t

Alyssa hurriedly held tight onto Sean, who went numb and limp. Had she not done so, Sean would have fallen on his knees before Jasper."Ms. Alyssa … I'm okay …" Panting, Sean assured her despite losing all his strength."How are you okay when you can't even stand up straight?" Alyssa's eyes were furious and filled with worry for Sean. She shot a death glare at Jasper, who stood there looking unaffected. Then, she accused him, "How dare you lay a finger on my staff before me? Are you still human? You're just a heartless animal underneath that human skin!"Jasper winced from the pain. His eyes burned with anger, as if his efforts had all been in vain. He tried to explain, "Didn't you see it? He was the one who attacked me first! And I didn't even hurt him! He'll be back to normal at night when his pressure point is relieved!""Don't bother explaining yourself. The more you do, the worse you make yourself look." The tears in Alyssa's eyes pained Jasper. He watched helplessly as

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
