Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 378
“Alyssa Taylor should have known such basic rules of the industry!”
“Of course she does! Maybe she just wanted to take advantage. These businesswomen always play dirty.
Perhaps she had used the same tricks to win Ada Kingsley’s trust and beat Mr. Beckett!”
“Tsk tsk. To think that I admired her before. Now, looking at her again, she seems quite shameless.”
Zoe snickered, feeling victorious for getting Alyssa into trouble.
She thought that Alyssa had become too arrogant and decided to teach her a lesson that day, with the
best approach being character assassination.
Little did Zoe know that Jasper had arrived late and had witnessed the scene. He stood in the shadows
quietly and cast an icy glare at the gloating woman.
Tall and gorgeous like a deity, he stood stiffly in his suit and wore a glum expression.
“Mr. Beckett, that girl is bullying Madam!” Xavier was worried.
Jasper pursed his lips and leaned forward. The look in his eyes hardened as he halted in his tracks. “Let’s
wait and see.”
“Wait?” Xavier widened his eyes, looking baffled.
“She’s not just any woman. She’s Alyssa Taylor, and she will figure something out,” Jasper said with a
fondness in his narrowed eyes that he seemed unaware of. “Even if she’s out of ideas, she has me.”
Xavier gaped at Jasper in disbelief and pressed a hand against his chest.
Jasper went on, “No one’s messing with my ex except me.” 2
Xavier wondered if Jasper was the same person. The look in Jasper’s eyes was enough to melt the

glaciers. It was a pity that Alyssa was not there to see it for herself.
Meanwhile, public opinion had turned against Alyssa. Her decision to wear jewelry from other brands at AX’s event sparked
controversy. Many considered it a cheap ploy to promote other products, not to
mention a violation of the rules. /1
Betty, who had been hiding behind Zoe, was relishing in schadenfreude. However, she couldn’t help but feel uneasy about
Alyssa’s composure. She had expected Alyssa to appear frightened and helpless, but that was far from the truth, and it infuriated
her.
“Miss.” Vincent, who had kept his silence, suddenly chimed in with an amused look, “I believe you’re
1/2
the world.”
“That’s correct, Mr. Carter! I absolutely love AX’s jewelry, and this particular collection is my favorite!*
Zoe’s eyes lit up with hope, her heart racing when she finally captured the CEO’s attention.
“Since you claim it’s your favorite, you should know that the ‘Eternal Bloom’ collection drew its inspiration
from the talented designer Alexa’s ‘Dark Desire’ collection.”
Vincent shifted his knowing gaze onto the swaying golden rose earring on Alyssa’s left ear.
From Jasper’s perspective, Vincent’s was a suggestive and flirtatious glance. He felt uneasy and
burdened when Alyssa was subjected to Vincent’s gaze.
“Ms. Alyssa’s jewelry is from Alexa’s ‘Dark Desire’ collection. In other words, the popular ‘Eternal Bloom’
collection wouldn’t exist without ‘Dark Desire.””
