Can't Win Me Back



The look in Jasper's eyes was deep. He replied in a cold and emotionless voice, "Thanks for your kind thoughts, but there's no need for that."

Javier frowned. He tightened his grip on Jasper's shoulders. "Jasper, if you truly want to inherit Beckett Group, a marriage alliance is a responsibility you must shoulder! The doctor said you lack emotion right now. In that case, all women should be equal in your eyes. Including Alyssa."

"I'm doing very well right now. I don't need a woman." Jasper frowned. "Even though I have broken up with Ms. Alyssa, you shouldn't put her on the same plane as other women. After all, she was once very important to me."

Very important-these two words tugged at his ice-cold heartstrings.

"Jasper, are you staying that you haven't moved on from that woman from the Taylor family?" Javier's voice had a clear tone of displeasure.

Icily, Jasper answered, "Dad, this is a personal matter of mine. I have the right not to answer you."

"Jasper, I have been through life more than you have. Listen to my advice. When choosing a life partner, you have to choose a virtuous woman. Plus, she has to love you more than you love her."

Javier gazed at the stunningly dressed women downstairs. He continued, "Even though Alyssa has an outstanding family background, she has been spoiled by Winston so much that she has grown to become unrestrained, ignorant, nosy, and a troublemaker.

"She often puts herself in danger despite being unable to protect herself. She's a ticking time bomb. Not only does she seem bent on dragging you down, but who knows if she'll endanger our family one day? You don't have nine lives for her to ruin!

"Look at those women downstairs. They are not that far off from Alyssa in terms of their looks and family background. Most importantly, they love, admire, and cherish you like treasure. They can't bear to see you suffer. Moreover, they will be able to bear children for our family!"

Jasper smirked coldly. "So, this was the reason you married my mother?"

Javier was at a loss for words.

"Dad, it's true that I had a brain injury, but I did not lose my memories. I haven't forgotten the kind of woman Alyssa is."

Jasper turned around nonchalantly. Standing up straight, he continued, "I was once married, and I had a girlfriend.

I am completely uninterested in marriage and dating. I'm sorry, but I'm unable to meet your demands."

Javier clenched his teeth as he exhaled sharply.

Jasper had just taken a few steps when Javier suddenly called out. "Jasper!"

Without turning back, Jasper said, 'Just save it if you're still going to talk about having a marriage alliance."

Javier shook his head helplessly. "I wanted you to receive Justin at the parking lot."

Jasper stopped in his tracks.

"Justin isn't in the best of health, and this is his first time showing himself publicly since returning to the country. I'm afraid that he wouldn't be used to it. You can look after him while you accompany him."

With Sean's company, Alyssa arrived at Berenike Hotel on time.

Right now, the situation between her and Jasper was awkward. So, it wouldn't be suitable for her to attend an event organized by the Becketts in the first place as it would bother both parties.

But Newton called her again and again to extend his sincerest invitation. She didn't have it in her to disrespect Newton, so she summoned up the courage to come.

Her Spirit of Ecstasy Rolls-Royce was parked in the underground parking lot. Sean turned to her from the passenger seat. "Ms. Alyssa, I'll walk you over."

"It's alright. I'm just dropping by to see Grandpa Newton for a bit. I won't stay for long. Just wait for me here." Upon saying that, Alyssa opened the door and exited the car. Then, she strutted straight toward the hotel. Just as she stepped into the hallway, a bunch of reporters rushed toward her and surrounded her from all sides. "Ms. Alyssa! I heard that you and Mr. Beckett have broken up. Is that true?"

Alyssa's heart dropped. In an instant, her face turned pale.

"Did you break up with him, or did he break up with you?"

"You're both a publicly-recognized model couple and a match made in heaven. What was the reason for your breakup? Was there a third party?"NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

"A few years ago, you and Mr. Beckett divorced because of Ms. Gardner. Did he cheat on you again this time?" At first, Alyssa didn't want to say anything. But she couldn't squeeze her way out of the crowd surrounding her. On top of that, she didn't wish to play dumb after she heard those groundless speculations.

So, with a steady gaze in her eyes, she said, "Mr. Beckett and I had an amicable breakup. There has never been any third party that came between us at any time. We are still on good terms. Everyone, please do not make groundless speculations."

One of the reporters suddenly questioned loudly, "Did you both break up because of Ms. Gillis?"
