Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 1107
Alyssa stood out as the most attractive and dazzling female among the young ladies from the four distinguished families and
possibly even across the nation.
From the moment Zeke stepped into the venue, his gaze remained fixated on Alyssa, the charming Cyrrisian lady.
“You bitch! Who do you think you are-proposing a toast to the Jesseltons? Do they even know you?”
Much to Betty’s chagrin, Ezzo nodded approvingly and raised his glass toward Alyssa. He chirped, “Alexa, today I learned that
you are the daughter of the KS Group president. How many more surprises do you have in store for me? This is not our first
meeting anyway. Do skip the formalities.”
Everyone was taken aback by Alyssa’s friendship with the Mosgravian tycoon Ezzo Jesselton, including Javier, who grew
uneasy. When Alyssa married Jasper, she concealed her identity, including her multiple careers, never once leveraging her
influence for Jasper or the Beckett family.
Now that she was divorced, she seemed to enjoy going against the Beckett family. Also, she shined more brightly than ever and
did not shy away from showing off her myriad talents.
This made Javier perceive Alyssa as merely toying with the Beckett. family. She wasn’t being serious at all!
“Mr. Ezzo, I’m glad you still remember me. I’m touched.” Alyssa
beamed at Ezzo.
Zeke gaped at his father. “Is she the famous jewelry designer Alexa? Why didn’t I know that you had met her before?”
“Two years ago, I wanted to give your mom a blue diamond
as a birthday gift. After some effort, I managed to get in touch with Ms. Alexa, and she crafted the necklace for your mom,” Ezzo
explained with a smile.
“Oh! Is that the blue diamond necklace that Mom always wears to important events? She loves it dearly!”

“Yes, that’s the one.” Ezzo nodded at his son and turned to address Alyssa, “I owe my thanks to you, Alexa. Oh, I believe I
should address you as Ms. Alyssa instead.”
“I am honored that Mrs. Jesselton loves the necklace,” she replied humbly in a graceful manner instead of feeling smug.
Winston watched the exchange with a faint and proud smile. His daughter might be unruly at times, but she was always up to the
task when the time called for it. She was diplomatic, thoughtful, and
overall a capable person.
Once again, Zoe and Betty were left speechless at the attention that Alyssa garnered. There was nothing they could do in the
face of a talented genius. As birds in a gilded cage, the young ladies were no match for Alyssa, who had seen her fair share of
struggles in life.
“Ms. Alyssa, nice to meet you!” Zeke, unprompted, walked up to Alyssa with unbridled passion and admiration. “The fact that we
met here meant that we were fated. Shall we raise a glass to our
encounter today?”
Alyssa squinted with scorn while Jameson watched glumly. Finally, he couldn’t hold back and attempted to drink on Alyssa’s
behalf, only to be interrupted by a towering figure who put himself between Zeke and Alyssa-Jasper Beckett!
Jameson glared at Jasper’s impassive face with hostility.
Jasper...” Alyssa stared at Jasper’s back, feeling touched.
“You’re not just fated to meet with Ms. Alyssa. I believe it’s also fate that you and I meet here today.” With that, Jasper gestured
at a waiter, who came forth with flutes of champagne.
Jasper picked up a flute of champagne and put on a plastic smile,
saying, “Ms. Alyssa is a young lady. She can’t drink too much. If you don’t mind, I shall drink on her behalf. Is that fine?”
