Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 224
Rubbing the slipper mark on her forehead, Betty stormed back to her bedroom.
“Alyssa Taylor, I will not let this slide!” She was panting heavily, her eyes red from the anger. She belatedly questioned the
reason Alyssa was at Seaview Manor.
Did Jasper bring her home? What was that supposed to mean?
Did he plan to rekindle the old flame and get back together with her?
That wouldn’t do!
an influential family. She was also
physically weaker. Betty figured that she could ride over Liana, either through brain or brawn.
Alyssa was another story. Not only did she come from a powerful family, she was ruthless in her
revenge. Betty worried she might be Alyssa’s punching bag if the latter got back together with
Jasper.
A sudden idea popped up in Betty’s mind. Since there was only space for one, she thought of
calling Liana to Seaview Manor. She’d sit back and watch Liana and Alyssa fight.
Once she decided on it, she called Liana and exaggerated, “Lia! This is bad! Jasper brought Alyssa
home, and they’re being touchy–feely! I’m worried that you might actually lose out.”
Meanwhile, Jasper ordered the maid to clean up the mess in Lauren’s room. At the same time,
Alyssa hugged the poor girl while pacifying her.
“Lauren, don’t be scared. I’m here.”
“You’re my sister–in–law!” Lauren was a twenty–year–old but acted childlike due to her disability.

She held tight to the hem of Alyssa’s top and insisted, “You’re my sister–in–law, so you’ll be
staying. Right? I missed you so much..
Alyssa stiffened at the way Lauren addressed her.
Jasper couldn’t help but step closer to Alyssa after watching her friendly interaction with Lauren.
“Mr. Beckett,” Alyssa suddenly spoke up, as if she had eyes on her back. “I know you’re busy, and you dislike your family. But
Lauren grew up before your eyes, and she holds a lot of respect for
you.
“You shouldn’t turn a blind eye to the bullying in your family if you have a little bit of compassion. If I learn that Betty is bullying
Lauren again, I will not hesitate to get Betty charged with assault.”
Startled, Jasper pursed his lips. He was rarely at home because of his busy schedule. Therefore,
he had no idea that Betty had been cruel to Lauren. Apparently, Betty was putting on the act of a
loving sister in front of their grandfather.
“I swear never to let this happen again,” he proclaimed sternly.

Why are you saying that to me? I’m not the victim.”

Liana might be devious, but she lacked the backing of .
After a while of comforting Lauren, Alyssa made her way with ease to the bedroom where she had spent three years sleeping
alone. Jasper tagged along.

She opened the wardrobe and found her belongings organized and labeled. The items reignited the memories of her effort in
preparing the gifts for Jasper.
She had spent countless nights on the handmade gift, only to be coldly ignored when she excitedly presented it to him.
With her back against Jasper, she felt the bitterness seeping into every inch of her body as she smiled mockingly at herself. She
had been head over heels for Jasper, but nothing like that would ever happen again.
“Do you have a box? I didn’t bring anything with me because we were in a hurry. I’ll borrow a box for my clothes...”
Mid–sentence, she felt his shadow hanging over her. Looking up in shock, she found him closing
the wardrobe door.
The button on his sleeve gleamed in the light. Trembling slightly, she widened her eyes. “Jasper,
what are you doing?”
He whispered her name in a throaty voice, “Alyssa Taylor.”
His rich and hypnotic voice tickled her ear and sent an electric shock through her body. “Answer
me if you want to take your stuff with you. Why did you marry me?”
