Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 305
“It’s way better than welcoming that scandal-ridden, shameless bitch into our family and letting the
Gardners leech off us. We’ve only announced the engagement without an official party. It’s easy to cut them off,” Betty
concluded.
“Shut up and eat your meal!” Sophia glowered at Betty. She was frustrated at her thoughtless daughter for touching the sore
spot.
Javier looked more sullen than before. Sophia’s misstep had dragged the Beckett Group through the mud
once more.
Thankfully, the internet was focused on Liana’s scandal-ridden past at the time being. If not, the Beckett Group would become a
joke due to the scandal surrounding Liana’s cheating and the existence of the bastard child.
“Madam Sophia!” The butler shuffled into the dining hall with a troubled expression. “Ms. Gardner is out there. She demands tó
meet with you.”
Sophia’s face crumbled. She felt as if she was on pins and needles.
“Go meet with her. We’re family, after all,” Javier chimed in frostily, eyelids drooping.
Knowing that Liana had nothing to lose and would loiter around until she got what she wanted, Sophia had no choice but to
emerge from the villa.
“Aunt Sophia!” Liana ran toward Sophia in tears and grasped her arm. “You must save my mom! She’s your sister as well!”
“How can I possibly save her?” Sophia was enraged at the thought of her dumb sister. She hissed, “Only a pea brain like your
mom would even consider contract killing!
“It’s easy to send that young child anywhere. Why would she try to dispose of the evidence and cover her
tracks? Does she think that murder is a piece of cake?” (1
“What else could we have done? Alyssa had learned about my past in Mosgravia. She had the powerful

backing of the Taylors, and she wanted to destroy me.
“It was a matter of time before she found out about the child! We had no choice!”
“Like mother, like daughter. Alyssa was playing you. Haven’t you heard of the Wild Horse Effect? She was
just a harmless vampire bat who sucked on your blood. You went into panic mode, thinking that she
would suck you dry.

“You lost your mind before she made any move and messed things up! Alyssa Taylor defeated you and Rosaline with the flick of
a finger. How can I help her when there’s solid evidence of her crime?”
Sophia seethed in resentment when all her efforts of raising Liana as her pawn went down the drain. She needed to cut her loss
and sever her ties to the Gardners to avoid getting afflicted.
“You can’t just sit back and do nothing! The debtors are knocking on my door every day. My dad’s in a coma. I could barely pay
his hospital bills!” Liana shuddered at the thought of those ruthless debtors.
She continued, “Can you at least pay off the debts for me? Just see it as a personal loan. I’ll pay you back when my family’s in a
better situation.”
“And what can you offer to pay your debts with?” Sophia was no longer patient with Liana because there was nothing she could
gain from the latter.
She smirked and said, “Your brother’s in jail, and your dad is in a coma. There’s no one at the helm of your family. 1
“The Gardners are an empty shell. Even if I sell you off, I can’t pay your debts with that money. If I were you, I’d buy a ticket to
Mosgravia and stay there for good. You are done for in this country.
“Don’t you have a few lovers in Mosgravia? Why not ask them for help?”
Sophia was clearly unwilling to be involved with her niece. She impatiently swatted Liana’s hand away to
free herself from the burden.

To Sophia’s dismay, Liana clawed into her arm tightly with a devilish look in her misty eyes. “Aunt Sophia, we were once
partners. I listened to you from a young age and ran errands for you. Have you forgotten
about that?”
Sophia was seized by panic. “What are you going to do?”
“My reputation is in tatters, and Jasper hates me now. I have nothing to lose.” Liana’s battered face grew
sinister. An anxious and fretful gleam flashed across her eyes.
you refuse to help, I will tell Mr. Javier everything you asked me to do over the years.
“I’ll tell him how you groomed me to get closer to Jasper and how you made me spread the rumors to ostracize him and worsen
his mother’s depression, driving her to kill herself... I will tell Mr. Javier and
Jasper every single detail.
“Look, we are family. Do not force my hand.”
