Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 424
“Can you help me decant this red wine?” Alyssa handed Sean a bottle while taking out her phone. Sean frowned slightly,
knowing this was her way of getting him out so she could have privacy.
“I know what you’re thinking, Sean. I hate Jasper, but it’s not like we can’t still discuss business together.” Alyssa gently patted
Sean’s shoulder.
She added, “I’ll need to continue being in contact with him now that I plan to expand KS Group in Solana City.”
“But Ms. Alyssa-
“There’s no need to be afraid. He’s not going to eat me. If he tries, Axel will wipe him out from the face of the Earth before he
knows what hit him.”
Sean wasn’t afraid. He would give his life to Alyssa if that were what it took to see her safe. He could never bear to see her
getting hurt again.
He sighed and went to decant the bottle as told, leaving Alyssa alone in the wine cellar.
“Yes?” Alyssa answered the call, her tone cold and flat.
“Thank you for the cake. It was delicious.”

was no longer under that spell.
She had always been disciplined, able to get over almost anything, even past loves.
“You’re welcome. I hope you’ve learned your lesson. Next time you think about shoving your nose into

“After all, if Betty Beckett becomes your hotel’s CEO, your stepmother is sure to take action again. You
wouldn’t want to see all your hopes and dreams fall apart.”
Jasper’s brows knit together. Alyssa used to love and care for him when she was still Alice White.

Sadly for Jasper, this woman today made it difficult for him to let go of her.
“Do vo
you really think I’d care about Sophia and Betty, Alyssa? If they were capable of making it big for themselves, I wouldn’t have
stayed where I am for so long.”
sa’s knuckle cracking could be heard over the phone. “I suggest you stop getting involved with my
affairs from now on, Jasper Beckett.
“This is the final warning I’ll give you on account of being your ex-wife. You will not want to make me go all out against you. Don’t
blame me if that day comes to pass.”
“Do whatever you please,” Jasper rasped. “I can’t speak much about other towns, but at least for Solana City, I’m in charge. No
one will get in your way here.”
