Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Jasper responded, "I'm just curious."
"I didn't do much. I just disfigured her," Landon revealed.
When Landon recalled the pitiful state Betty was in when she was tortured in the warehouse that day, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Oh, no wonder. I was wondering why I hadn't seen her lately. She's probably too embarrassed to show her face in public
anymore."
Jasper nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly looked at Landon seriously. "During this time when you've been staying with Lauren,
you didn't do anything to her, did you?"
At this question, Landon's heart skipped a beat.
He suddenly recalled the scene from last night where he and Lauren were entangled in the bathroom, kissing as if they couldn't
bear to part. At once, he felt a rush of heat from his lower abdomen.
Just as he was unsure how to answer, Xavier urgently ran over from the other end of the corridor.
"M-Mr. Beckett, Ms. Alyssa is here."
Hearing that, Landon widened his eyes and looked at Jasper.
Meanwhile, upon hearing that Alyssa was here, Jasper seemed to be in a daze and asked again, "Who's here?"
"Ms. Alyssa. Alyssa Taylor. She's in the banquet hall right now." Xavier was ecstatic and couldn't stop grinning.
That was because he hadn't seen his boss' wife for quite some time.
He didn't know whether Jasper missed her, but Xavier missed her quite a bit.
"Jasper, is Lyse here to see you? Damn, your patience paid off!" Landon excitedly patted Jasper on the shoulder.
"Many elite figures in Solana City will be at the cocktail party tonight."
Suppressing his emotions, Jasper said solemnly, "She might just be here to expand her social network. After all, she will inherit
the Taylor family business."

"My goodness. Why don't you think positively for once? You're really something else."
Landon turned to Xavier and asked, "Did Lyse come alone, or did she come with Jonah?"
Xavier replied, "Neither. She came with a stranger."
"Is it that bastard, Schmidt?" Landon thought of Jameson and couldn't help but get angry.
"No, it's not him. It's a guy who looks ... exceptionally beautiful, somewhat androgynous."
Although Xavier only glanced at Julien from a distance, the latter left a deep impression because of his extraordinary
appearance.
Upon hearing this, Jasper had a surge of emotions.
It wasn't one of Alyssa's brothers, not Jameson, and not even someone that Xavier knew.
He thought he had completely given up on Alyssa. However, whenever there was something related to her, he couldn't ignore it.
Jasper quickened his pace toward the banquet hall.
Upon entering, he saw Alyssa standing in the crowd like a bright star. She was dazzling and eyecatching.
She wore a black tailored high-end suit, exuding a cool presence. Her beguiling yet refined crimson lips enraptured him.
At this moment, his forcibly suppressed heart began to beat even more vigorously.
Landon swiftly sidestepped, blending into the shadows to become virtually unseen.
In the past, he loved to appear ostentatiously at such events. But since he had a wife, especially in places with many women, he
avoided them as much as possible. He kept himself hidden away as if he were a virgin.
Once the playboy stopped playing, it would be impossible to make him return to the field unless something major happened.
Meanwhile, Alyssa also noticed Jasper.
To her, he was like a flickering flame in the dark. Even if she closed her eyes, she couldn't ignore his presence, which made her
shiver.

It was really annoying.
How exactly could she make him completely disappear from her heart?
