Can't Win Me Back Chapter 480
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. It wasn't exactly a vacation for relaxation.After Ada Kingsley's multiple requests, Alyssa, now adorned with Alexa's reputation, finally agreed to meet with her.The global superstar, Ada Kingsley, put aside her ego before Alyssa and groveled at the latter. 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

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

Alyssa had effectively labeled Simon as an ingrate with her firm and strong statement.If he wanted to distance himself from the Taylor family, she would air their dirty laundry in front of everyone.With a fake smile on his face, he shot a chilling look at Alyssa. He couldn't help but question Sean's taste in women. She seemed insolent and argumentative. If Sean married her, she would only bring trouble to the Lynch Family.The air turned awkward and tense. Javier viewed Alyssa as a troublemaker who seemed to bring chaos with her every appearance. While he acknowledged Simon's capability, he felt uneasy upon learning about Simon's connection to the Taylor Family."I didn't know you had a hidden past with the Taylor family," Jasper chimed in, seemingly addressing Simon, but his eyes were on Alyssa. "So, does that make Ms. Alyssa the daughter of your benefactor? Is this how you repay her—by going against her?"Alyssa furrowed her brows and sulked at Jasper's words. Was he actuall

Jonah's gaze burned with a mix of longing, sorrow, and something deeply affectionate. The world swam back into focus as Julien looked at Jonah. Without preamble, he asked, "Are you new? How much do you charge per night?"Light-headed and grinning, Julien reached out a hand, his fingers brushing softly against Jonah's cheek. "You're pretty good-looking," he said, his voice slurred. Then his expression shifted. "Why do you… look so much like someone I hate with every fiber of my being?"Jonah's heart clenched. Even so, he slid his arms around Julien's waist. Trembling, he pulled Julien into his arms. "I'm new here. Could you help me meet my target tonight, Mr. Lovelace?"Julien's eyes narrowed as he scrutinized Jonah. Jonah's eyes teared up as he held Julien's waist tightly. "I promise you won't be disappointed," he said, his voice deep. Watching from the shadows below the stage, Evan nearly gagged at Jonah's sultry tone. Was this really the Judas he knew? The man sounded downri

The bar was alive with striking lights and thundering music, and the air was thick with the scent of tobacco and alcohol. The atmosphere was one of moral decay—corrupt, degrading, and vile. "Where's Julien?" Jonah's voice cut through the noise, his tone icy and sharp. When Jonah stepped inside, the eyes of several men turned toward him, their gazes filled with illicit intent."Why, hello there. Are you here alone? Are you feeling lonely?" A sexy man sauntered over, draping himself over Jonah's shoulders. He let his hands linger with a playful squeeze. "If you're bored, I'd be happy to keep you company." Jonah's expression darkened. His hands trembled, veins bulging with barely contained rage. Suddenly, Evan burst through the crowd, his face twisting in alarm at the sight of Jonah surrounded by a swarm of predatory men. Evan yelled, "Don't touch him!" A heavy thump reverberated through the room. Gasps erupted as people scrambled back.The man who had draped himself over

Rafe stated, "But Beckett Group is in the middle of a storm right now. If I insisted on giving your corporation the project, my superiors would investigate me. I wouldn't be able to escape unscathed!""If you're investigated, I'll make sure you can still live a life of luxury—even if you lose your job." Justin's tone darkened. "But if you turn against me, you won't just suffer a few losses. You'll lose everything."Under the dim moonlight, Justin fiddled with his antique tea cup, his gaze narrowing. "You've worked so hard to get to where you are. Are you prepared to lose it all?"After ending the call, Justin turned to Remy, who stood quietly at the side. "Sheryl is still being detained. She can't be bailed out for another two days. I need someone to watch over the research lab. You'll handle that."Remy was taken aback. "I failed my last mission. Aren't you going to punish me?"Justin's smile was cold and insincere. "It wasn't your fault. You were ambushed. If not for that, I tru

Remy pursed his lips, bending down to pick up the fallen poker card. It was the King of Spades—an entry pass to Kings' Club. "My attacker was…" Remy's pupils constricted as he tightened his grip on the card. "It can only be that dear uncle of mine, always claiming to see me as his own son." Justin's lips curled into a sinister smile. "He's trying to get rid of my right-hand man, taking advantage of my internal feud with Jasper. Weakening me is just his first step toward gaining control over me."He's been a fugitive ever since his successful prison break, never returning to Cyrris after receiving his life sentence. His power base remains in Kontina. "I'm the last surviving Dutton. The Dutton Group, as a cover, has declared bankruptcy and severed all ties with the country. "My dear uncle has taken a huge risk just to target me. He sent his men to attack you in Solana City. What a delightful surprise.

The hospital ward grew heavy with silence. Mandy and Neil stared at Alyssa, stunned beyond words. "M-Ms. Alyssa, you knew that man was Mr. Damien?" Neil asked, disbelief etched into his voice. "Yes." Alyssa's reply was quiet, her lips pressed into a thin line. She lowered her gaze, her voice barely above a whisper. "We found out when Cyrus took Damien's cigarette butt for a paternity test."Mandy approached Alyssa, her shoulders trembling slightly. "So, you and Cyrus knew… and you both kept it from me?" Mandy said, her voice catching in her throat, tears welling up. Alyssa felt a sharp pang in her chest. "Mandy, I'm sorry. It was my decision. Cyrus had nothing to do with it."Mandy's tears fell freely now, her grief spilling out in raw sobs. "Do you know what it's been like for me all these years, thinking Damien was gone? Winston, Miley, Lyla, and Colene kept telling me to move on. I tried to accept that he was dead, that we'd never find his body. But I never did."Her vo

The hospital ward was bathed in a dim, yellow glow from the bedside lamp. The silence was thick, yet the room held a strange warmth—an unfamiliar comfort that felt oddly familiar to Remy.Pain radiated through his body as he struggled to sit up. His eyes fell on Mandy, who was asleep beside his bed. Her hair was a mess, and her swollen eyes suggested she'd been crying. She was sound asleep. Remy stiffened. His breath quickened as he stared at her fragile figure. Slowly, he leaned forward, his fingers lifting slightly, tempted to reach out.Just as his hand hovered close, Mandy's lashes fluttered. In her sleep, she murmured, "Damien… Damien… I miss you so much…" Tears slipped down her cheeks, silent and unbidden.A pang tugged at Remy's heart. Without thinking, he brushed away her tears with his calloused fingers. The moment his skin touched hers, a jolt shot through him, sharp and electrifying. Pain throbbed at his temples, but beneath it was a warmth he didn't want to let g

Justin's casual question hit Javier like a thunderclap. Shock rippled through him, freezing his expression. His voice trembled with fear as he barked, "What nonsense is that? Are you accusing me of causing Chester's death? I'm your father—how could you think I'd do such a thing?""It's not an accusation. Just the facts," Justin replied coolly, crossing his legs and savoring his tea with unsettling calm. "And I'm not condemning you. In fact, I understand why you did it. I'm facing the same dilemma now."Javier's breathing grew ragged. He had watched Justin grow from a child into the man before him—now a predator, circling with quiet menace."You were meant to be the heir as the eldest son," Justin continued, his voice smooth as silk. "But Grandpa favored Uncle Chester, handing him major projects, grooming him in plain sight. "Uncle Chester's reputation soon eclipsed yours. He was a natural leader, adept at business, with one fatal flaw—he was kind. Too kind. Unlike you."Justin

Nonetheless, night had fallen by the time Justin arrived at Seaview Manor. On his way there, he worked on two things. First, he secured the top legal team to get Sheryl out on bail as quickly as possible. Second, he tried reaching Remy—unsuccessfully. He had never lost contact with Remy before. Justin's face was as dark as the night itself. The moment he stepped inside Seaview Manor, Rory approached with a solemn expression. He gave a slight bow before speaking. "Mr. Justin, what took you so long? Mr. Javier has been waiting.""I was occupied," Justin replied coolly. Then, as if it were an ordinary evening, he allowed a faint smile. "Where's Jasper? Is he back here yet?" A conflicted look came across Rory's face. "Things between you and Mr. Jasper have soured. I doubt he'll want to see you anytime soon—or show up here.""Is that so? How disappointing."Justin's smile didn't reach his eyes. His gaze lingered on Rory, sharp and bottomless. "So, he'd rather believe what he se

Jonah scoured every corner of the hotel, desperation clawing at his chest, but Julien was nowhere to be found. "Jonah!" Alyssa called out, breathless as she caught up to him. She grabbed his arm. "Calm down! I'll help you search for Jul!""I can't find him. He's gone," Jonah murmured, sinking to the floor. His tears mixed with sweat, creating dark patches on the ground. "Lyse… I fear… if I can't find Julien this time, I'll lose him forever."The agonizing thought of losing the love of his life pierced him. "No, you won't!" Alyssa gripped his arm tighter, her voice trembling with conviction. "If Jul had given up on you, he wouldn't have come here today. The fact that he showed up means he still cares."Jonah's eyes were bloodshot, filled with a pain too deep to hide. He shook his head slowly. "Julien came back for Jasper. He did it because he's loyal… because he's a good friend. Not because of me.""He does care!" Alyssa insisted. "If he didn't, he would've faced you without fli
