Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 669
“Are you talking about Lyla Nelson, Winston Taylor’s third wife and a has-been-actress? Why would
Sharon design a dress for her?”
“Amazing! I am absolutely smitten with the black and red dress!”
“Why can’t Lyla Nelson have Sharon design her dress? She was once an award-winning actress under TS
Network. My parents are still her fans!”
“I’m a huge fan of hers too. Oops, I just revealed my age.”
“She was famous many years ago. She became Winston Taylor’s mistress and gave birth to his child.
before marrying him. A woman like her doesn’t deserve Sharon’s attention.”
“This is a case of sour grapes. Any woman who bears a child for Winston Taylor gets millions in return. I
would have gladly become his fifth wife and given birth to an entire football team.”
This particular comment received a thousand likes. It seemed like society’s morals were declining, with
money taking precedence over love.
“Lyla might be a third wife, but she’s a winner! Just look at Sophia Beckett. Nobody attended her birthday
party, and she doesn’t have a dress designed by Sharon. That’s so humiliating. Her life is worse than Lyla’s.
“I can understand Sharon designing a dress for Lyla. At least Lyla Nelson has some notable work under
her belt, and she keeps a low profile while working hard for charity. Sharon would only taint her reputation
by designing for that sly and evil Sophia Beckett.”
The conversation around Lyla’s dress heated up. Thanks to Alyssa, Lyla experienced a resurgence in
popularity that she hadn’t seen in years as a long-retired top actress.

Alyssa was physically at the dinner but always kept an eye on the online discussions. She turned away
and sent Sean a voice message.
“Get the company’s PR department to keep an eye on the online comments. Any negative remarks about
Lyla need to be addressed promptly. Check and clean up the comment section every five minutes.”
“Sure, Ms. Alyssa.”
“And, regardless of the circumstances, keep the discussion alive.”
Sean pondered for a moment and responded, “Mr. Taylor and Madam Lyla want to keep a low profile
tonight. They would like to celebrate with the guests without drawing public attention.”
4/2
Sharon designed a dress for a client or her designs were featured in a fashion show, the internet buzzed
with discussions.
Her peers in the jewelry industry regarded her as an icon, and the same went for the fashion industry.
Now that the news of her designing for Lyla had broken, people would definitely talk about it. Alysen
believed they should leverage it to give Lyla an unforgettable birthday that would make other women
envious.
Lyla deserved the spotlight. Moreover, Alyssa took satisfaction at the thought that Sophia, who had
attempted to undermine Lyla, had ended up becoming a laughingstock instead.
She could imagine Sophia fuming, a mental image that made her chuckle.
“Fuck! That stupid bitch, Lyla Nelson!” Sophia growled, smashing the decor in her presidential suite, but it
wasn’t enough to vent her anger.

Finally, she flung a crystal ashtray at the TV screen and shattered it.
Betty cowered from afar, her face drained of color. “M-Mom, please calm down!”
“How can I stay calm when that woman is flaunting Sharon’s design? Who does she think she is? She’s
not worthy of it!” Sophia hissed, her fury pushing her to the brink of madness.
For a fleeting moment, an unsettling idea crossed her mind. She wanted Lyla dead. (1
