Can't Win Me Back Chapter 777
At the mention of it, Cornelius' look at Betty underwent a change, accompanied by a disapproving click of his tongue.Fortunately, Landon had good judgment and didn't take a liking to this impudent woman before him. Otherwise, it would have been a misfortune for the family."You …" Betty was infuriated, staring wide-eyed.Zoe sneered. "Even if you're upset, there's nothing you can do. After all, Landon just doesn't fancy you."Betty covered her chest and laughed, a mix of anger in her amusement. "It goes both ways, doesn't it? Jasper doesn't fancy you either.""You … " Zoe was the one burning with anger this time."When I came back, I saw Alyssa's limited edition Bugatti parked at the gate. It seems she's already here."With hands on her hips, Betty yawned. "I see that Jasper isn't here. Did he go with Alyssa, leaving you stranded here again?""Betty Beckett!" Zoe's eyes turned red, wishing she could pounce on Betty and rip her mouth apart."Oh, Zoe, Jasper is always like that

"Jasper! You jerk! Don't touch me! Put me down!"Alyssa's face instantly turned red as she twisted her waist, her legs restlessly kicking up and down.The hand that initially clutched Jasper's shirt became a fist, pounding vigorously on his chest.Even though her hand was sore from the pounding, for him, it was like being tickled. He was even enjoying it."I told you to listen to me, but you didn't. If you don't listen, I can only carry you."The gaze Jasper directed at Alyssa carried profound affection. Despite his cold gaze, there was a hidden warmth in his eyes as they looked at her. He found himself unable to rein in his emotions. After all, could it truly be deemed love if it were within one's control?"Why should I listen to you? Who are you? I won't listen! I just won't!" Alyssa's face turned redder from the anger, and she struggled even harder."If you don't stay still, I'll kiss you." Jasper swallowed hard and squinted his eyes. "You beast!" She shrank her whole bod

However, the Harper Group was one of the top ten consortiums in the country, with business ventures spanning Andgalbia.Although not as prominent as the Taylor family and not among the wealthiest, the Harper family had a neutral stance. They could still pose a significant threat if they teamed up with the Schmidt family. They happened to be the Beckett family's arch-enemy."Grandpa, why won't you listen to me? I've only been away for a few days, and you're already causing trouble for the Beckett family?"The echoing sounds of leather shoes, cold and imposing, reverberated through the hall.Following that, Landon walked into the view of the astonished crowd.When Sophia saw him, her eyes lit up like she had discovered a diamond mine. After all, he was her future son-in-law.If Landon became her son-in-law, she would be over the moon. Those socialites who had previously ignored and looked down on her would have to flatter her.The bodyguards greeted in unison, "Mr. Landon!""Land

Zoe was manipulated? Could there be hidden motives in the incident?"Mr. Landon, is that true?" Rosie couldn't hold back, slapping her thigh indignantly. "I knew it! Mr. Jasper is very innocent. I've watched him grow up. I don't believe he's the kind of man who loses his mind when he sees a woman and is unable to control his lower half."If he really were like that, would Madam love Mr. Jasper so much? There must be something fishy here."Penelope's eyes turned red. "What do you mean? Are you saying my daughter is promiscuous, and she set a trap for Jasper?""I didn't say that. You said it yourself." Rosie rolled her eyes and stuck out her tongue.Rosie had never married or had children of her own. Her only Achilles' heel was Jasper. She wasn't afraid of these wealthy and influential people."You … You old woman!"Penelope covered her aching chest, glaring at Sophia. "Madam Sophia, are your servants all so rude? They speak to guests like this, and you don't even interfere?""Oh

Alyssa didn't expect Jasper to carry her to the room where she had lived alone for three years.Jasper's original intention was to carefully place her on the bed. However, her restlessness in his arms led to a loosened grip, and she ended up descending heavily onto the bed.Luckily, Alyssa had not undergone plastic surgery. Otherwise, her nose might have suffered."You didn't stay still. I didn't mean to drop you." Jasper looked down at her. Seeing her awkward state, he couldn't help but find it amusing."You bastard. You always find various excuses for yourself!" Alyssa muttered indignantly.She attempted to sit up on the bed. But the moment she did, Jasper seized her ankle, and he promptly pressed her back down."Let go of my foot! Are you a pervert?" Alyssa quickly curled her legs. Almost revealing too much, she felt extremely embarrassed.Alyssa had a grasp of self-defense techniques, but from Jasper's perspective, they seemed no more significant than her routine stretching

"Mr. Javier will definitely be very satisfied with this daughter-in-law, and your status in Harper Group will also get a boost," Alyssa remarked. "Do you think I care about that?" Jasper felt like he was going to explode."Who cares if you care or not? Don't mind my business, and I won't bother with yours. I'm leaving."Alyssa came tonight to cause trouble for Sophia, not to be bothered by him.She just wanted to leave this room as quickly as possible, as being alone with him in this room made her feel suffocated.She was a sensitive woman, easily affected by emotions and prone to sentimental reactions. And in this room, when she looked back on her three years of marriage with Jasper, all she could recall were unpleasant memories.Moreover, she had lost her virginity in this room. And Jasper, even to this day, still hadn't remembered the night they spent together.It was better to forget anyway. Some things, when remembered, only caused pain.Alyssa stood up gracefully, trea

However, Jasper suddenly realized that Alyssa wasn't seeking an explanation or defense. She wasn't concerned about his innocence.What she wanted was for him to disappear from her life completely....Landon's presented evidence, while not direct, still implied an indirect solid connection. This incident had become much more complicated than it should have been.Luckily, only members of the Beckett and Harper families were present tonight. Making these matters public to outsiders or the media could ruin Zoe's reputation.After all, Landon was Zoe's brother, and it was impossible for him to be so ruthless.Landon refused to compromise, and the situation was at a stalemate. Cornelius had no choice but to leave first. He needed to go back and investigate the whole situation thoroughly."Landon, Zoe, you two are coming back with me!" Cornelius said, standing up with his cane."Mr. Cornelius, are you leaving just like this? Have you settled your granddaughter's marriage?" Alyssa's

Acquaintance?A shockwave of disbelief swept through everyone like an earthquake. Their eyes widened, and all attention turned to Sophia.This included Javier and the members of the Harper family. However, only Jasper remained calm amid the commotion, just like Alyssa.Ever since Alyssa began suspecting Sophia, he had also harbored suspicions. Unfortunately, he suffered a severe head injury during that time and had to undergo life-threatening surgery. Following that, Zoe had caused chaos, delaying his investigation.Tonight, when Alyssa came alone to find Sophia, he took her upstairs, intending to stop her actions. He didn't want Alyssa to get into trouble. If Sophia was bold enough to set up an ambush against Lyla in front of everyone, she might also resort to dangerous actions against Alyssa!He could do the dirty work for her, ensuring she wouldn't have to dirty her hands or step into any mess. He could willingly be her executioner for all things dirty and sinful. He ackn

Alyssa followed Jasper into the study. The door closed behind her with a soft click. She didn't move to switch on the lights or sit down. Instead, she stood quietly in the dim room.They faced each other, eyes locked. In the darkness, their gazes seemed brighter, charged with emotions that neither could put into words. Whatever stirred within them was tangled and silent—kept at bay by something unspoken, as if a wall had formed between heart and mouth. After a pause, Alyssa offered a faint smile. Her voice was soft, almost courteous. "Go ahead, Mr. Beckett. I won't be staying long tonight—I've made other arrangements."It was clear she didn't want to be alone in a room with him.Jasper's chest tightened, overwhelmed by a surge of emotion he couldn't define. His voice was rough when he finally spoke. "You didn't vote against the motion at today's board meeting. I wanted to know… are we still on the same side?"Alyssa's gaze lowered, her voice steady and calm. "You didn't object

In the evening, Xavier drove Jasper to meet with Newton. Along the way, news broke out that Sheryl had been bailed out. Xavier slammed his fist against the steering wheel. "Damn it! Why is it so hard to get rid of that woman?" "She is Justin's right hand," Jasper said, eyes shut as he leaned back in his seat. His jaw tightened. "You could even say she knows more about his secrets than anyone. As long as she's useful, Justin won't discard her so easily. This is how he operates."Xavier shook his head, teeth gritted. "Where the hell did she even come from? When you had me investigate her, I found nothing. Her background was spotless. "What's in her past that Justin would go so far to keep it hidden? A man like him can have any woman he wants, yet he clings to her—some pretty-faced idiot who only seems to make things harder for him."Jasper's gaze turned glacial. Xavier's casual remark struck him.He was right. Justin wasn't short on capable subordinates. So why Sheryl?Was Sh

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
