After Jasper left, Alyssa helped the paralyzed Sean back to her office. She carefully laid his trembling body on the couch, her forehead damp with sweat and her lips pressed together in concentration. She began examining him like a skilled physician."Ms. Alyssa, I'm fine …" Sean managed to move slightly despite being paralyzed. Tears welled up in his eyes as he witnessed Alyssa's genuine concern. "I'm sorry for the trouble.""Don't be ridiculous! You were trying to protect me, but you should avoid acting recklessly in the future," she replied, leaning in to gently massage his legs."I wasn't being reckless." Sean summoned all his strength to sit up on the couch. His eyes sparkled with determination as he swore, "If it ever happens again, I'll still choose to protect you.""Sean Lynch, you shouldn't expose yourself to unknown dangers just because you think you have some chops. "You're no match for Jasper at all! Did you think he wasted four years in military school for nothing?

A day had passed after Betty was subjected to a grueling overnight interrogation by the police. It had been a harsh ordeal for a sheltered young woman like her. Although they provided her with food and drinks, she wasn't allowed to lie down or sleep, which left her with dark circles under her eyes and a disheveled appearance. Her backside ached from sitting for so long.The harsh fluorescent light above her head had nearly dried out her hair, which she had spent a lot of money to maintain. It was truly a torturous experience! "I didn't. Abigail wasn't a corporate spy. I have nothing to do with it. This is all Alyssa's plot to frame me. I'm innocent …" Despite her fatigue and exhaustion, Betty continued to argue and refused to give in.At that moment, the door to the interrogation room opened. A confident and good-looking man in a suit entered with a black suitcase in his hand. The man introduced himself, "Gentlemen, I am Betty Beckett's attorney, Simon Lynch."Simon Lynch …

"You don't have to worry about that," advised Simon. As the top attorney in Solana City, he didn't solely rely on his family's influence and connections in the legal profession to reach the apex of his career. He was capable and employed a cunning and daring approach to achieving his goals. He had to resort to certain means to turn the tables and win the case.…Alyssa insisted on giving Sean some time off despite his pleas. She made it clear through the decision that she wanted him to set his intentions right and think carefully about how he perceived his relationship with her.

Alyssa did not intend to give her a hard time. She might be the famed designer Alexa, but she was also a businesswoman who knew that ego was

Ada chided, "Is this my wedding or yours? Don't you think it's rather rude to butt in while I'm talking business with Ms. Alyssa?" Ada then glared at her manager and added, "I gave her my full trust when I picked her. I'll accept all her suggestions, so I don't need your opinion."…After signing the agreement, Alyssa sent her staff to see Ada's team out. Next, she relayed the new tasks to her team before leaving work.When she stepped out, she immediately spotted Jonah's Rolls Royce waiting by the hotel entrance. The driver courteously opened the car door for her."Jonah! Are you free today? Why did you come to pick me up?" Alyssa wrapped her arms around Jonah's neck."I heard you gave Sean some time off." He caressed her soft hair."Yeah, he's been really tired lately and needed a break.""Is that the only reason?" Jonah squinted, as if he could read her thoughts. "You are at a time when you need extra help at work. Why send him away? Did you fight with him?"She frowned an

After spending three days behind bars, Betty finally regained her freedom. However, despite Simon's request for Javier to keep the news under wraps, Jasper quickly got wind of it."How did Betty get acquitted? Didn't you have someone keeping an eye on Abigail Grant? Did Simon meet with her?" Jasper looked icy as he slammed his fist against the car window."Mr. Beckett, the issue isn't with Abigail. It's Bryan Hanssen!" Xavier's eyes blazed with anger. He explained, "Our intel revealed that Simon Lynch had a secret meeting with Bryan Hanssen as Betty's attorney, all arranged by Javier. He probably spooked Bryan out with some bullshit because that dude immediately took all the blame for Betty.""What else could Simon have done? He must have threatened to harm Bryan's family! How could an attorney pull such a dirty trick? How could an attorney resort to such dirty tactics?" Jasper's eyes darkened like the calm before the storm, his fists trembling. He lamented, "The good name of Ju

Meanwhile, Sophia fanned the fires, chiming in to demonize Alyssa, "She concealed her identity as Winston Taylor's daughter and stuck around to gain your trust. She even married Jasper."Think about it, didn't that seem like a calculated move? Thank goodness Jasper didn't fall for her charms and divorced her to cut the losses. "If she had won his heart and your affection, you might have had reason to worry that she'd gradually take control of the Beckett Group!""Stop it. Alice isn't what you make her sound," replied Newton with a wave of his hand. He looked glum. "I know Winston. He might be a player, but he's a loyal, honorable man. I don't believe he'd raise a corrupt daughter," stated Newton. "Dad!""Grandpa!""Besides, the Taylors are on par with us when it comes to influence and wealth. Why would she give up her happiness and marry Jasper for some cheap Beckett Group stocks?"Ms. Gardner might resort to something like that, but not Ms. Alyssa. She's a proud woman and w
Can't Win Me Back Chapter 485
With that, Jasper walked away in huge strides, leaving Simon frozen on the ground in humiliation.He was born into a family of attorneys. His parents had high hopes for him from childhood, and he was the role model of his siblings. He sailed through life and was considered one of the elite attorneys in Solana City. Even the scions in Solana City had to humble themselves to seek his services. He had never felt so humiliated after the exchange with Jasper.Simon thought of something.Brows furrowed, Simon turned around to glance at Jasper's proud figure. He wondered about the relationship between Jasper and Alyssa. Why would the unfeeling, ascetic Jasper Beckett fly into temper for Alyssa?Simon himself was an acquaintance of Alyssa. He knew her as a beauty and the beloved daughter of Winston Taylor. She had higher standards and better taste than most people. She wouldn't be interested in just any ordinary man.There seemed to be only one possible explanation—Jasper Beckett, t

Anyone could tell that Newton was being sarcastic. He was doubting Simon's integrity.Jasper couldn't hold back a grin while Javier and Sophia put on sour faces."Sir!" Ben hurried over and announced courteously, "Ms. Alyssa is here!"Jasper's heart sank, and his eyes faltered. Everyone shot complicated glances at the door.Alyssa's high heels clicked sharply, echoing in Jasper's heart. She walked alone into the compound, her confident and regal air making it seem like her first visit despite her three years of living there.Jasper fell into a daze, feeling as though they were still married."Grandpa, I'm here!" Beaming, she approached Newton with bright eyes. She did not pause for a second as she brushed past Jasper, treating him like a stranger.He felt suffocated as his fingers curled into a fist. His heart skipped a beat and sank. After the divorce, every time he crossed paths with her was like torture."Alyssa …" Betty glowered at Alyssa, ready to lash out, only to be rein

"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

Beckett Group was, in essence, Javier's heart and soul, forged from his own labor. "Justin set me up, framed me for drug addiction, and bribed my primary physician to give false testimony—all so he could drag me down. The fact that he dared to target me like this means he's willing to betray anyone."Jasper took a deep breath, forcing down the rage roiling inside him as Javier remained silent. "Fine. Even if you insist this is just a family matter, Justin's reputation is already in ruins, and the corporation's stock prices are fluctuating. Are you really going to stand by him, even now?""Justin has explained everything to me. He wasn't aware of the bribery. That female doctor who worked for him acted on her own. Besides, she's been arrested. The backlash against Justin will settle in time…"Jasper listened, his face unreadable, but his heart clenched painfully. A lump rose in his throat, suffocating him.He had lost his mother at a young age, but he had never longed for his fa
