Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 820
Those words from Victor seemed to carry a hint of sarcasm that likely didn’t escape anyone in the room.
Victor had long found out about Alyssa’s divorce, with Jasper being her ex-husband.
At that time, he showed his contempt, referring to her as a “gem in the rough” with strong disapproval.
Entering into marriage with the Beckett family was already quite ridiculous. Marrying the illegitimate son, Jasper, served to
diminish her social standing even more.
He believed that his son, even if it were someone like Jameson, would be a far superior option compared
to Jasper.
“Uncle Victor, are you thirsty? Shall I make you some tea?”
Alyssa felt uneasy hearing this. She was aware of Victor’s closeness to Winston, but such remarks about
Newton were crossing the line.
“Lyse, I’m not thirsty! Plus, I haven’t praised you enough!” Victor showed no restraint.
Speechless, Alyssa couldn’t find the words to respond.
Zoe’s intense dislike for Alyssa was evident in her darkened expression and gritted teeth.
She couldn’t help but wonder why all the prominent figures in Solana City were drawn to this bitch. Were
there no other women left?
Jasper gazed at Alyssa with a chilling stare, mirroring the discomfort he felt inside.
“So Lyse is like your biological daughter, huh? It seems you do have a liking for daughters, Victor. Having
one daughter isn’t enough. You even want to adopt another daughter.”
Newton seized Victor’s verbal slip and insisted, “I’m different. I want a granddaughter-in-law. And I only

want Lyse as my granddaughter-in-law. Others? Hmph, no chance.”
Newton’s words left Alyssa in a state of shock.
Jameson displayed a smile, yet he concealed his frustration in his clenched fist behind Alyssa.
Zoe’s mind buzzed as a tremendous sense of shame and humiliation tore her heart.
She thought that she shouldn’t have come here. She should have stayed home and waited for her
grandfather and mother to figure out a way for her to marry into the Beckett family.
Taking matters into her own hands only led to repeated humiliation!

Victor’s smile froze for a moment. Just as he was about to respond, Jasper spoke with a cool and unequivocal tone.
“Grandpa, Alyssa, and I finalized our divorce more than six months ago. Alyssa has found someone else. Your insistence is
going to make things difficult.”
The corridor suddenly fell silent.
Alyssa’s heart clenched abruptly.
However, it was only a fleeting moment before she released a chuckle of relief.
There wasn’t much to regret. This wasn’t the first time Jasper had given up on her. 3
The pledges and assurances that men express to women prove to be deceptive.
Who among them could genuinely pursue and love a woman for a lifetime?
Despite Winston’s steadfast dedication to justice and righteousness, he was unable to do so too.
After all, her father’s romantic history was quite the joke.
“You brat! What nonsense are you talking about?” Newton fixed a stern gaze on his grandson, clenching

his teeth while forcefully uttering each word.
He would have slapped his mouth shut if there weren’t so many people around!
Victor remarked with a light laugh, “Given Mr. Jasper’s statement, it appears he has already moved on.
Considering that all parties involved have moved on, wouldn’t you agree, Mr. Beckett Senior, that it’s the
best outcome for Mr. Beckett and Lyse?”
