Can't Win Me Back Chapter 899
It was a late night at Seaview Manor.After Betty showered, she applied medication to the plastic surgery marks on her face. She was ready to enjoy some red wine."Nina? Nina!" Betty called her maid. Nina quickly ran over to her. "I'm here, Ms. Betty."Since Alyssa made Nina a spy, she took a lot of time figuring out ways to get close to Sophia and Betty. She tried to gain their trust.She knew Sophia was often suspicious and didn't trust anyone easily. However, Betty was less manipulative than her mother. It was easier for Nina to get close to Betty.So, Nina fawned over Betty and was willing to do anything for her. Finally, she had the opportunity to stay by Betty's side to serve her.She was a lowly servant who had served under Lauren before. If she hadn't done all these to get close to Betty, Betty would have long kicked her out of Seaview Manor.There was no way she could complete the mission Alyssa had assigned to her then. "Go to the wine cellar and get me a nice bott

"I went for aesthetic cosmetology tonight. Dr. McAslister gave me a jab. He said the jab will make me more relaxed. It should be more effective than the ones I used before."Sophia covered her head with her hands. Her eyes were filled with worry and panic. She continued, "After I took the jab, my body felt light and relaxed. Then, I fell asleep. But, when I woke up, Dr. McAlister asked, 'Who is Anne?'"Betty gasped. Goosebumps filled her entire body."Mom … W-What did you say? Dr. McAlister is in no business to know. How could you …"Betty knew the actual reason for Jasper's mother's death back then.On some level, Sophia was the culprit who had caused Anne to take her life.However, it had been executed with meticulousness. Sophia had bribed the maid who took care of Anne. The maid then swapped her medication for depression. She even asked Liana and Betty to spread rumors.As a result, Anne's condition worsened. She couldn't stand the physical and mental torture and leaped of

Nina trembled as she curled herself in the wardrobe with a red wine bottle in her hand.She was overwhelmed by shock, and her face drained of color. Her eyes were bloodshot, as if she had cried profusely.What was she supposed to do?She was frantically trying to find an answer in her mind.She wondered who she should break this groundbreaking secret to—Jasper or Alyssa?…After Betty helped Sophia settle in, she returned to her room.When she helped Sophia out of her clothes, she noticed needle marks on the latter's arms. Betty couldn't help but shudder at the thought of it.Javier and Sophia no longer stayed in the same room. Since Lyla's accident, the couple had had more bad blood between them.Had they been sleeping on the same bed and Javier had seen those needle marks, Betty had no idea how he would react to them.When she reached her room, Betty saw Nina standing outside the door blankly as she waited for her with a red wine bottle in her hand.She didn't look well.

She was like an ant on a hot pan, jittering with worry.The other end of the phone was exceptionally quiet."Mom? Mom! Did you hear what I said? What should we do now?""We need to get rid of that maid," Sophia said sinisterly after a long time."Pretend nothing ever happened. Let's keep it down and get someone to spy on her. When the time is right, we'll make this little troublemaker disappear from the face of the earth!"…Alyssa was discharged from the hospital after she recovered.Axel wasn't there when she was discharged because he didn't want to see Winston. Everyone else from the Taylor family came. Even Winston's wives rushed over from Belbanks.The wives were empathetic women. When they saw how scrawny the princess of the family had become, tears streamed down their faces. Alyssa had lost her usual radiant appearance."My dear child, you've suffered so much."Lyla was the most sensitive of all. Her eyes were swollen after all the crying. She went to Alyssa and hugged

The Taylor family members were flabbergasted when they saw Jameson getting out of Winston's car.Alyssa frowned.Winston was an arrogant man who always sat on his high horse. No one from the younger generation except his children had ever sat in his car.Jasper was the most reputable, capable, and influential person in Solana City. Yet Winston had never thought that Jasper was worth his time. However, as of this moment, it seemed that Jameson had successfully gotten close to Winston. Anyone would be lying if they weren't shocked.If Alyssa remembered correctly, Winston used to be cold to Jameson. What was with the 180-degree change in his attitude after merely a few days?"Lyse, you look so much better. That's great."A gentle smile appeared in Jameson's eyes. He walked toward Alyssa with a vibrant bouquet of pink roses in his hand and gave them to her. "This is to celebrate your getting discharged from the hospital."Alyssa looked at the beautiful roses before her. Her eyes f

He had heard about a love rival snatching someone's hand in marriage. But he had never heard of a brother snatching his sister's hand in marriage. However, Axel had never been afraid of anything. It wouldn't be a surprise if he did something like that. "Hey, bastard!"Axel looked at Jasper from beside him. "If, and I mean 'if', Jameson asks my sister's hand in marriage, will you interfere?"Jasper felt as if an arrow had pierced through his heart. Pain consumed his body.He couldn't entertain the thought of Jameson and Alyssa getting married."Shit, forget it. Neither you nor Jameson should think about getting my sister. None of you is worth her time," Axel cursed. He thought it was a stupid question to ask."I only want Lyse to be happy. As long as she's happy, I'm willing to do anything for her." Jasper felt as if something was stuck in his throat. His voice broke as he spoke."Then, can you help me separate Lyse and that Schmidt guy? Seeing them as a couple is a real pain,

Colene thought about it. Perplexed, she said, "Winston's attitude seemed odd to me. He told us he wasn't fond of the Schmidt family's sons. Why did he suddenly change his attitude toward Jameson?"Mandy frowned slightly.Jameson seemed to have some tricks up his sleeve.…Alyssa stared out the window the whole time. She was uninterested in speaking to Jameson.Meanwhile, Jameson sat beside her quietly. His eyes didn't leave her for a second. He thought he was the luckiest man in the world, even if he was watching over her silently."Jimmy, thank you for keeping me company while I was at the hospital."Alyssa didn't look at him, but her tone was gentle. "I'm sure you're tired. Make sure you rest well when you get back. Please don't look for me for now.""Lyse, d-do you not wish to see me?" Jameson frowned as his heart tightened."I don't know what you told my father, but if you still want to be my friend, I hope everything stops here."Alyssa looked at him this time, but her e

Nina paced back and forth in the garden after speaking to Alyssa on the phone. She was in distress.This was the first time she had ever done something like this in her life. Her heart wasn't strong enough to take it.She returned to the villa anxiously.All of a sudden, her heart stopped for a second. Jasper, who hadn't returned for a long time, entered the villa."Mr. Beckett … Mr. Beckett!"Nina broke into a sweat. Her face paled as she ran after Jasper. She went in front of him to block him.She had been working as a maid here for many years, but she never dared to talk to him. She had no idea where she got the courage to charge toward him.Jasper frowned slightly. "What can I do for you?""I-I … You …" Nina cursed herself for getting tongue-tied now."You can take your time." Jasper looked at her lightly.He had never had this level of patience before. Now, Alyssa had completely influenced him. He was more easygoing and rational now.Nina bit her lip hard. Her face redd

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
