Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

"Jasper, although Justin is recuperating in Mosgravia, you shouldn't let your guard down. Your last contract signing with
Jesselton Incorporated was his debut. Since he took action, it means he'll be back sooner or later," Alyssa expressed her
concern for Jasper.
"Lyse, are you genuinely afraid I'll be living off you?" Jasper teased.
"I'm being serious!"
"I'm not afraid of Justin's return or confronting him head-on. Under fair competition, I have no complaints if he wants to take back
what belongs to him."
Alyssa knew that the kidnapping case from years ago weighed heavily on Jasper. He still felt indebted to Justin.
"But if he uses dirty tricks, I won't go easy on him. Taylor Group won this horse racing event. Ezzo should choose you without
hesitation. But if Justin or anyone else tries to interfere, I won't stand idly by."
Jasper's low and charming voice lightly echoed in her ear. "With me around, you don't have to worry."
Lyla didn't go on vacation like she said she would. Instead, she stayed home, taking care of Winston and cooking for her family
as usual.
Her life remained unchanged despite Sophia's fall from grace. It was still peaceful and serene.
She was grateful to Alyssa for avenging her, but now she had a husband, family, and daughter. Hatred had become insignificant
in her eyes.
Alyssa drank the nourishing soup that Lyla had made for her contentedly.

The three ladies surrounded Alyssa. Only after they found that she looked fine did they feel at ease.
"It seems that dumbass is taking good care of you."
Colene rested her chin on her hand and shook her head while clicking her tongue. "Right? I truly admire Jasper. A privileged heir
willingly becoming a homemaker for you is no small sacrifice."
"Indeed, Winston would never do the same. He's too proud for that," Mandy joked.
Alyssa wore a smug expression, feeling like she had hit the jackpot.
"Lyse, be patient and wait a little longer. I think Winston has been considering your relationship with Jasper. He's just too proud
to change his tune."
Lyla's words surprised the other three ladies. They were delighted.
"Really?"
"Before this, Winston favored Jameson and has been creating opportunities for you and Jameson. After the recent horse racing
event, I sense that Winston is not rejecting Jasper as much anymore.
"Moreover, that day, he made it clear to Jameson that he wouldn't intervene in your relationship with Jasper. He said he would
just let things flow."
Overjoyed, Alyssa downed another large bowl of soup.
Things were finally looking up.

"Madam Lyla, Ms. Tatiana, and Mr. Lynch are here. They're in the living room downstairs," Barry reported.
Lyla's expression stiffened slightly. "Okay, I'll be there in a moment."
"You don't look good, Lyla. Is something wrong?" Alyssa, perceptive as ever, noticed Lyla's unease.
Lyla didn't know how to begin, but Colene jumped in, saying, "Winston knows about Sean and Taty. He disagrees with their
marriage.
"Besides, Sean's brother is serving as Sophia's defense attorney. His father, Judge Lynch, also supports his son in serving the
Beckett Group. Winston is even more displeased now."
