Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 1223
Ezzo blinked in surprise. “Gosh, that’s some wonderful news! Congratulations to the both of you, Javier and Jasper.”
“Are you kidding me?” Jasper addressed Javier with clenched fists.
Consumed by rage and panic, Jasper’s eyes looked bloodshot. He acted like a beast who wanted to break free. “Everyone
knows that I’m in love with Alyssa Taylor. Are you seriously asking me to marry Zoe
Harper?
“I have no idea what deal you struck with the Harpers under the table, but I’ll make it clear now. Even if you threaten me with
your life, I will never marry Zoe Harper!”
The guests were astonished by Jasper’s outburst. Even the Jesseltons, who had seen their fair share of conflicts, were taken
aback by Jasper’s overt confrontation.
Zeke, who had never taken Jasper seriously, admired Jaspe courage in speaking up against his father in front of the high guests.
He muttered under his breath, “That’s some cool shit.”
“Oh, my God! What did Jasper just say? Did I mishear? That’s son breaking news!”
“The battle between father and son is about to unfold!”
“If I were Javier Beckett, I would be having a stroke right now. His son just made it clear that he doesn’t care if Javier dies.
Nothing will stop him from dating Alyssa Taylor! It seems Alyssa means more to him than his dad.”

Alyssa glanced at Jasper through tears, feeling touched by the man. No one else could attract her other than Jasper.
The guests began to pass judgment on the Harpers.
“What’s going on? Jasper Beckett seems to be out of it. It feels like his dad is selling him out.”
“I agree. Forcing the breakup of a loving couple is just not right.”
“The Harpers are even more wretched. How could they force Zoe Harper upon Jasper Beckett when they knew he was dating
Alyssa Taylor? They’re only making things difficult for both families. I wouldn’t have agreed to it if I were Zoe Harper. It’s so
sickening.”
“Zoe Harper has no shame. Why else would she have slapped herself to frame Alyssa? I bet she’s over the moon now.”
Zoe’s face reddened when she overheard the discussions about her. Cornelius was equally embarrassed, his face a shade of
beetroot red.
Before this, he was aware of the risks that would come with an
arranged marriage. Even if Javier agreed to it, Jasper might openly protest against it.
However, he took the gamble, thinking Jasper wouldn’t protes
front of all the guests out of consideration for Javier’s reputatio Even if Jasper opposed the marriage, he’d wait until the event’s el
confront his father.
By then, it would be too late for Jasper to retract his words after the engagement news broke, or he’d risk his reputation. If
Jasper insisted, the Harpers would bribe the media to tarnish Jasper’s image.

No one from the Beckett family-not even Newton-would protest against the marriage, as they’d have to protect Jasper’s
reputation. Alas, the Harpers underestimated the depths of Jasper’s love. He was determined and courageous in defending his
right to happiness.
“A marriage is no child’s play!” Javier took a step forward, looking up
weaken Javier’s authority. He barked. “You have no say in this matter!”
Lowering his voice, he glared at Jasper “Even if you refuse to marry Zoe Harper, I’ll never agree to you marrying Alyssa Taylor ”
“I will marry her and only her,” Jasper declared, raising his voice for all
to hear
A tear rolled down Alyssa’s cheek. Unable to hold back, she
approached Jasper. At that moment. Winston reached out to pull her back
