Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 193

Newton grew worried upon hearing Liana's words. "Why? What has happened to Alice?"

Even Jasper's heart skipped anxiously.

Sophia urged, "Just tell us, Lia. No one else is listening besides us."

"Um... When I was taking a stroll earlier, I saw Alice and Mr. Taylor enter the same room. It looked like Mr. Taylor had too much to drink. Maybe Alice had gone to look after him?" Liana said innocently.

She added, "I was worried at first, but since the two are

officially dating, it's not an issue for them to stay alone together, right?" @

Jasper's hands balled into fists while Winston stood up from his seat. "Who is this woman you speak of?"

"Uh..." Liana said nervously, glancing at Jasper for salvation.

Jasper felt all the blood rush to his head. Under everyone's shocked gazes, he turned and stormed off the venue.

Meanwhile, Liana smiled to herself, gleeful that her plan was working.

Alice's reputation would be kicked to the dust for good this time, and Jasper would finally see what a shameless whore she was!

"You still haven't told me who Alice White is!" Winston asked hurriedly. He couldn't let his son get involved with some random trollop! Jonah was meant for greater things.

"You really don't know, Mr. Taylor?" Sophia faked a look of shock. "They affirmed their relationship in front of everyone earlier tonight. I even saw her at the charity auction weeks ago. Your second wife seemed so close to her. I'd thought you had accepted her!"

"What? Mandy knows her too?" Winston's expression fell drastically, his gaze taking on a sharp edge.

This Alice White sounded viler by the second. Not only did she seduce his eldest son, but she even got through to his wife, it seemed!

"That's enough! Alice and Mr. Taylor are adults. It's not your place to correct them nor smear their name!" Newton ordered, irritated with how Sophia was painting such a terrible picture.

"It's not some private issue anymore, Dad." Sophia cleared her throat. "Alice and Jasper have signed the divorce papers, but they haven't gotten their divorce certificate yet. Supposedly, she's still part of the family.

"We did want to follow your instructions and wait until your 80th birthday was over before publicly announcing Jasper and Liana's engagement. They've been trying to keep things low- key to appease you and your wishes.

"We've seen just how much Lia suffered because of Alice. But we can't hold back anymore, Dad. Alice certainly isn't. She's trying to make all of us look bad, and we just can't sit back and watch ...

Sophia shared a knowing look with Liana, deviously cackling inside.

Meanwhile, Winston was left in utter shock.

Jonah, his eldest son and one of the most virtuous young men he had ever met, was involved with Jasper Beckett's wife.

How could this be? Wasn't Jonah a priest?

Wasn't adultery a sin?

Jasper was running through the hallways, trying to find Alyssa. His calm demeanor, which had been maintained for countless years, had been shattered for the first time. All because Alice and Jonah were alone in the same room together.

All that was on Jasper's mind was to bring her back to his side. He silently muttered under his breath, "I won't let Jonah touch you, Alice!"

When he reached the guestroom in question where the two were, he came to a stop, already panting heavily like a bull.

Had everything he feared happened already?

Could he still stop them?

Was it too late?

His chest hurt with every thought.

Just as he was about to open the door, it opened on its own.

Alyssa was standing in the doorway, one hand supporting Jonah as the man leaned heavily on her. His clothes were a mess. When she saw Jasper, her expression flared in shock.

Jasper's hand remained in the air as their gazes met. He was shaking.

"What ... What are you doing here?" Alyssa stuttered. She then scoffed, assuming an irritated look. "Looks like their plan worked. You're the first to see us made idiots, huh?"

"Did ... Did he touch you?" Jasper asked, his hands wanting to hold her but unable to.

Alyssa scowled, shoving past the man. "Get out of my sight!" All that was on her mind now was to save her brother.
