Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 667
“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your patience. Let us welcome the star of tonight, Madam Lyla!”
Applause erupted in the hall.
“Lyla! Lyla!” Alyssa cheered happily and clapped hard.
At that moment, Winston, looking dapper in a black tuxedo, led Lyla onto the stage.
“Damn! Dad looks incredibly handsome,” Cyrus remarked, impressed by Winston’s youthful appearance.
“He might have overdressed for the occasion, don’t you think? People might mistake him for getting married a second time,”
Silas commented, his gaze fixed on the stage with keen interest.
“It would have been his fifth wedding,” Landon corrected while playing with Lauren’s hand.
He joked, “Not too bad. At least I can still count with one hand.”
He made a face and behaved himself when Mandy and Colene glared at him.
Silas, feeling hungry, swiped a piece of dessert and sneaked it into his mouth when no one was looking. However, Rose, seated
at another table, caught his sly move and playfully called him out, “Hey, why are
you eating like a thief, Mr. Taylor?”
Startled, Silas choked on his dessert and coughed, his face turning red. He had to pat his chest and gulp down some water,
while Rose chuckled at the comical moment.
Meanwhile, Silas was left wondering if Rose had been sent to mess with him. After crashing into his car, she had made him
choke on food, and she had even received Alyssa’s backing!
“What’s wrong with eating the food at my family dinner?” Silas shot a frustrated and annoyed look at Rose.
“Well, you ate ahead of everyone else at the table. Where are your manners?” she retorted, resting her chin on the back of her
seat as she turned around with a cheeky smile that bore a striking resemblance to Alyssa.
Silas’ anger went away when he saw her smile.

“Wow, have you seen that stunning black and red dress Madam Lyla is wearing?”
“Yes, I noticed it as soon as she stepped on stage. She looks absolutely gorgeous.”
The audience couldn’t take their eyes off Lyla’s dress, gasping in awe. Jasper turned to look at Lyla, visibly surprised. Wasn’t that
the same dress he had seen hanging in Rose’s studio, which was Alyssa’s
Sharon’s design?”
“What? Sharon’s design?”
“Goodness gracious, I’m honored to see her designs with my own eyes.’
