Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 566
“Indeed, I am. Is there a problem with that?” Jasper’s nonchalant reply nearly gave Javier and Sophia
heart attacks.
Sophia stared resentfully at Jasper’s indifferent look as she lurked behind Javier like a ghost. Her eyes held an ominous quality
as if she were bestowing an evil curse upon Jasper.
Javier shook in rage as he growled, “Jasper Beckett, have you forgotten your roots?”
Jasper snickered. “Thanks for reminding me over and over again that I’m your son. Otherwise, I might
have forgotten.”
“You ungrateful brat!” With his eyes burning with anger and a dizzying sensation overwhelming him, Javier pointed at Jasper. He
seethed, “I’ll ask you one last time-are you dead set on attending the Taylor
Family’s event this weekend?”
“Oh, dear child, how can you be so wrong?” Sophia seized the right timing and put on the façade of a worried mother. “It’s not my
party that I care about. But you knew your dad and Winston don’t get along well, and Alyssa has been giving us trouble
repeatedly.
“Why would you side with them during such a crucial time? You, missing our event as the company.
president, will only be a disgrace to your father!”
Jasper retorted in a frosty tone and a glare, “Sophia, if you don’t care about the party, why don’t you call it
off?
“You, your daughter, and your relatives have been abusing your power, causing scandals our company
struggles to recover from.
“You have pushed the company to the forefront of public scrutiny and hurt our operations.

“Your reputation stinks in Solana City, so why would you choose to throw a high-profile event for your birthday? You should lie
low instead. Do you take the netizens as fools? They remember.”
“You-You-” Sophia balled her shaky fists in a fit of rage.
Initially, Javier was somewhat swayed by Jasper’s argument, but his sentiments shifted when Jasper added, “While my father
might be willing to make sacrifices for you out of love, don’t expect the rest of
the family to go along with your behavior.”
Sophia nearly passed out from the provocation.
Meanwhile, Javier momentarily pushed Sophia out of his thoughts. He was only consumed by a sense of

Jasper continued, “If you’re talking about Sophia’s birthday, forgive me; that has nothing to do with me. I’m not prepared for it at
all.”
Jasper’s smile faded as he added, “Sophia is your wife and Betty’s mom. The two of you can take care of
her party. I see no reason for me to get involved as an outsider.”
Javier was enraged when he heard Jasper describing himself as an outsider. He snapped, “Aren’t you part of the Beckett family
too? How dare you act like an ungrateful brat when you’re benefiting from the
Beckett Group and sitting in the role of the president?”
Sophia leaned into Javier, wearing a sly smirk.
In the past, Jasper might have engaged in an argument with his father. But now, he had no intention of speaking to his father,
who had fallen entirely under the influence of Sophia and Betty’s manipulations.
He said, “Do you have anything else to discuss? If not, I’ll retire to my room.”
“Jasper Beckett, I’m not finished with you! Get back here!” Javier sprang up from the couch, nearly toppling Sophia in the
process.

Jasper paused in his tracks, standing tall without looking back. He declared, “Oh, I almost forgot to mention-I won’t be attending
Sophia’s birthday party
Sophia’s expression soured upon hearing this. She demanded, “What do you mean?”
Javier was equally astonished and exclaimed, “Are you ditching your family event for the Taylors’ party instead?”
“Indeed, I am, Is there a problem with that?”
