Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 659
“Gosh are you hurt anywhere? Why didn’t you call me? I could have taken you to the hospital!” Alyssa
exclaimed, gripping Rose’s shoulders nervously.
Tmn fine. I just have some neck pain,” Rose replied, moved by Alyssa’s concern.
“You should get it checked. There might be internal injuries that could cause more pain later,” Alyssa
suggested.
Jasper suddenly chimed in, “I’ll get that arranged after the birthday party. I can get a physician to check on you at any time.”
Rose was taken aback by his thoughtfulness.
Alyssa held Rose again, appearing irritated as she said, “That’s not necessary. I’m a surgeon myself, and I can take care of my
mentee. I appreciate your offer, Mr. Beckett.”
He smiled wryly. She had dismissed his offer once more.
“After that idiot crashed into my pink Ferrari, he didn’t even apologize and had the audacity to confront me with an attitude. He
tossed me a card to ‘buy a new car’ and walked away!” Rose complained, her anger resurfacing.
“Do you think he was trying to humiliate me, Madam? Does he think I’m poor or something? What’s with
the snobbishness?”
“Um... And what happened next?” Alyssa was engrossed in the amusing story.
“I tossed my card at him! I told him I had loads of money, enough to be his sugar mommy!”
Jasper listened quietly with a hint of amusement in his eyes.
Alyssa couldn’t help but chuckle. She remarked, “Somehow, I feel like you would make a great couple with him because you
share the same brain cell. You take a ... logical approach to problem-solving.”

Rose immediately thought of Silas’ slender build and his handsome face. That pair of eagle eyes, smooth skin, and youthful
demeanor... She swallowed hard, feeling thirsty all of a sudden.
Still, she scoffed and grumbled, “Hmph. I wouldn’t want to date him.”
That man might seem good-looking from a distance, but he turned out to be insufferable up close.
She absentmindedly scanned the surroundings, and her expression suddenly changed. She shot up from her seat and pointed at
a man approaching them.
“You-Why are you everywhere? How did you get here?” Rose gasped.
Alyssa and Jasper turned to see who she was addressing.
In a sea of lights, Silas calmly made his way toward them, only to be stunned when he saw Rose. He retorted, “You brash
woman! I should be asking you the same question! What are you doing here?”
Blinking, Alyssa tugged at Rose’s sleeve and whispered, “Rose, do you know him?”
“He’s the idiot who crashed into me!” Rose accused Silas through gritted teeth.
“Ah,” Alyssa replied with a look of realization. Then, she rose and walked up to Silas. She stood on tiptoe and suddenly draped
her arm across his shoulders in an intimate move, much to Rose’s surprise.
Jasper’s eyes darkened. Even though he knew Alyssa and Silas were siblings, he couldn’t help but envy
any man near her.
“Rose, come here. I’ll introduce you to each other,” Alyssa said to the bewildered Rose with a grin.
“He’s my brother, Silas. He’s the lead prosecutor in Solana City.”
