Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 58
The Gardner Group faced a crisis as the public questioned their products and credentials.
Netizens are clamoring to boycott their products. Over 400 out of their 500 nationwide stores have closed in less than a week.
The remaining few barely survived. They resorted to flash sales. They rather sell at a loss than keep the remaining inventory.
Andrew, already physically weak, fell seriously ill as he watched the substantial daily losses. Rosaline visited her sister to ask for
help. But Sophia was afraid to intervene and could only watch from the sidelines.
“Newton Beckett has issued a final ultimatum. He will ruin anyone who helps the Gardner Group. Sophia, I’m part of the family,
and it’s tough to say how bitter I feel about this situation.”
Sophia sighed, comforting her sister by holding her hand in her palm. “Although the Beckett family can’t help, I have asked Javier
to pick a date for Liana and Jasper as soon as possible. How about scheduling it on the first weekend after Grandfather’s
eightieth birthday?”
“What? We have to wait until his 80th birthday?” Rosaline asked impatiently. She could wait, but the Gardner Group was in a
crisis now!
“Well, I wish Liana and Jasper could get married tomorrow too. But Grandfather insists on waiting until his 80th birthday to have
the wedding. I can’t do anything about it,” Sophia lowered her voice, “By the way, I heard that Alice hooked up with the President
of the KS Group after leaving Jasper. She was taken away by Mr. Jonah the day she left the Seaview Manor, and many people
saw it.”
Rosaline had heard some details from her son last time and was jealous of Alice’s ability to win over men. She hated that her
daughter couldn’t secure Jasper. Yet, this girl had made a comeback. She’d married into a wealthier family than the Beckett
family after divorcing Jasper.
‘I can’t help but wonder if this time KS Group is targeting Gardner Group because Alice spoke badly about us to Mr. Jonah,”
Sophia innocently continued to fan the flames.
Rosaline sat up from the couch in revelation, her eyes red with anger when she heard Sophia’s words.

“That girl... not only did she delay Liana’s marriage, but now that she has divorced Jasper, she still wants to sabotage us! Does
she think no one can touch her after she found a new man to support her?”
“She’s not easy to deal with,” Sophia clicked her tongue, “After all, Alice is the apple of Mr. Jonah’s eye. The Taylor family is so
powerful. Who could afford to offend her?”
“Yeah! The Taylor family is so influential. How did someone as insignificant as her get involved with them?” Rosaline fumed, her
mind
racing with a plan.
“Huh, so Alice pretended to be obedient and devoted to Jasper in front of Mr. Beckett Senior. But behind his back, she must have
been colluding with Mr. Jonah for a long time. Otherwise, how could she have won him over so quickly? Imagine the commotion
it would cause if this was exposed on Mr. Beckett Senior’s birthday!”
Sophia smiled without saying a word, picking a teacup and sipping her tea. It was a brilliant idea that Rosaline thought of herself.
Sophia
had nothing to do with it.
Meanwhile, in the General Manager’s office of the KS World Hotel.
Alyssa had just finished screening the documents. She was now enjoying her favorite computer game. The scene was brutal,
filled with screams, and she was blowing up fish as a butcher.
Just as she knocked down a survivor, Sean approached. He happened to witness the gruesome scene. He quickly turned his
head and
closed his eyes in fright.
“If you have something to report, speak up. Otherwise, leave.” Alyssa’s fingers remained on the keyboard and mouse as she
clicked away, leaving no room for idle time.
“Miss, I have two interesting news to report.” As he spoke, Sean covered the screen with one hand and quickly placed the
documents in
front of her with the other hand. Then, he retreated to a safe distance.

“My God! Are you kidding me? Your nerves are so weak. How are you going to protect your girlfriend in the future? Next time, I’ll
bring you

With that, Alyssa returned to her butchering game and knocked out another person. The screen was once again covered in
blood.
“That’s exhilarating!”
Sean grimaced, his features twisted dramatically.
After finishing the game, with no survivors left, Alyssa finally exited the game. Then, she picked up the documents.
“Isn’t this the record of pawned items from our family’s pawnshop? Why did you give this to me?”
“These jewelry items were brought to our pawnshop by Liana’s mother through someone she sent. They were sold.”
