Can't Win Me Back Chapter 993
Betty sat alone in her sports car, taking a long time to gather courage before getting out and entering the hospital.She didn't dare bring anyone else with her. This matter had to be kept confidential, and every additional person who knew about it was an additional risk.Betty tried pushing the door, and it unexpectedly opened.The hospital was deserted, as if it had been anticipating her arrival.At that moment, Betty's phone rang.Displayed on the screen was Tristan's number that she just saved."Hello?" she answered, trying to remain composed while looking around cautiously."Ms. Betty, I'm waiting for you in the office on the second floor. Come on in."After saying that, Tristan promptly ended the call without wasting any words.Betty clenched her teeth and went up to the second floor. She approached the office door and pushed it open.Inside, Tristan, in a white coat, was sitting on the sofa with a smile, watching her.When Betty saw him, her pupils constricted.She f

"Do you … want me to—" Betty's voice trembled, her breath quickening.Tristan remained calm, tilting his head. He stared at her with an enticing gaze that hid his desire.Betty understood. If she didn't make some sacrifice tonight, she probably wouldn't get the medicine back.But for her, it didn't matter. She was well-versed in dealing with men in bed. Moreover, Tristan was young and handsome, comparable to the male models she knew. It wasn't a bad deal."I get it. What men want is nothing more than this."Blushing, Betty began to unbutton her dress.Soon, all the buttons were undone, and her dress slid down. Standing in front of Tristan, she was now in sexy wine-red lace underwear."Now we can—""Ms. Betty, what are you doing?"Tristan laughed disdainfully, completely unaffected. "Is your mind always filled with thoughts about doing this with men daily? When did I say I wanted to sleep with you?"Betty felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Her body shook all over. He

Betty picked up her phone and made a call."Help me take care of someone. Dig out his kneecaps. I want him to walk on his knees for the rest of his life!"…After Tristan handed the medication to Betty, he drove home alone.As his car approached the neighborhood, a black MPV suddenly appeared and crashed into the side of his car.His car almost spun 360 degrees, and the glass shattered. Tristan was thrown into disarray, his bones feeling like they were about to fall apart.The screeching of brakes echoed through the deserted street, and the car came to a halt.Before he could regain consciousness, he heard the door open, and he was forcefully pulled out.Tristan hadn't seen who it was, but he was immediately pressed into the car and subjected to punches and kicks."What should we do? Break his legs or what?" one of them asked."Dig out his kneecaps. Hurry up!"Tristan was in intense pain, and his head was bleeding. At once, he understood what was happening.This was Betty s

Alyssa clenched her fists in resentment, and her voice became choked. "An innocent girl has already died because of me, Dr. McAlister. I can't let anything happen to you. I really can't bear it anymore."Hearing this, Tristan lowered his head in guilt. "Ms. Alyssa, I just wanted to do something for you for the last time. I just wanted to vent your grievances … I didn't know it would cause you so much trouble. I'm really sorry.""You don't know Sophia and Betty enough, but I do. Betty may not have Sophia's intelligence, but she inherited Sophia's ruthlessness perfectly."Her impulsive actions make her even more ruthless than Sophia. Sophia still considers consequences, but relying on being Javier's daughter and having the Beckett Group backing her, Betty acts without regard for consequences.""My sister was cautious and had me lurking near your hospital."The man sitting in the passenger seat took off his black mask, revealing a face that would make anyone's heart skip a beat."As

The next day, Jasper and Landon went secretly to Shelland Island, armed with weapons.It wasn't the smoothest trip. The day started out sunny and calm, but a thunderstorm struck after two hours on the boat.The two had opted for a yacht instead of a larger vessel in order to keep a low profile. Not only would they be a smaller and speedier target, but they could also swiftly retreat the scene if needed.But the downside to this kind of ship was how vulnerable it left them to the extreme weather!"Mr. Jasper, Mr. Harper, what do we do? Is the boat going to capsize?" Landon's men were doing their best to keep the yacht afloat. But it was tough to do so when the vessel wouldn't stop being tossed and turned by the harsh waves, not to mention sail onward in a straight line!All of a sudden, a large wave crashed toward the ship, aiming right for Landon. Landon stood there shocked, unable to move. All of a sudden, someone went up to shield him.Jasper used his body to protect Landon f

Jasper and Landon looked up, and sure enough, a helicopter was flying right toward them!Everyone immediately went on high alert. They took out their weapons and aimed right at the helicopter."At ease. I doubt they're the enemy," Jasper said calmly. He was the only one who remained unworried."How are you so sure?" Landon asked in surprise."If they were the enemy, they could've started firing at us from this distance already. The only reason they haven't is because they don't plan on killing us."Landon nodded eagerly. "Makes sense!"The helicopter landed on the beach, its blades sweeping up sand that blinded everyone's eyes. Only Jasper remained steady, welcoming the billowing wind as he watched a man step off the helicopter.When Jasper saw who it was, his eyes widened."Holy shit! It's Jonah!" Landon yelped and hid behind Jasper.Jonah approached them, emanating a commanding presence. Despite having connections in legal and underworld circles, Landon should theoreticall

Jasper's eyes grew red-rimmed, his voice hoarse, as he begged Jonah. "All I'm doing now is so that I can make it up to Lyse. I'd give up my life just to help her achieve what she wants, no matter whether you all forgive me or not. Just please don't put Lyse at risk. As her brother, you know just how she can be!"Jasper was really worried that Alyssa would be angry at him all over again. They had gotten to such a neutral state after months of tribulation. Jasper didn't want things to return to square one.But he was more worried something terrible might happen to Alyssa.Jonah hadn't expected Jasper to blurt all this out. He'd only meant to mock the latter.After a moment of silence, Jonah finally said, "Alright. You can proceed, but you have to stick with me."…While Jasper was making the first move overseas, things weren't looking too good back in Solana City.Today marked the day of a crucial meeting between Beckett Group and Jesselton Inc. from Mosgravia. Javier and the high

"Who is that? They look local.""I'm not sure, but don't you think he looks a bit like Mr. Beckett?""I didn't notice it before, but … he does, yeah!"Javier's eyes widened in shock as he stared at the screen.It was Justin!Why was he sitting there with Mr. Jesselton?As if oblivious to the fact that the call had gone through, Justin was chatting merrily with the Jesselton father and son. They looked to have quite a friendship."Justin, you … " Javier was taken aback. The script he had meticulously prepared the previous night quickly became a jumble.Only then did Justin react by turning to the camera. He waved at Javier. "Long time no see, Dad."The board members were stunned.Was this handsome, refined young man Justin Beckett, the eldest son of the Beckett family who had never once revealed himself publicly in Solana City?Just then, Ezzo turned to greet Javier with a smile through the screen. "I believe we have much to discuss regarding our partnership, Mr. Javier."…

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
