Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

There were many people around.
But the moment when Jasper and Alyssa made eye contact, it seemed as if everything fell silent, and all the noise around them
disappeared.
Seeing her crush, Renee was so excited that her eyes lit up.
She quickly took out her powder compact and touched up her makeup. Then she walked toward Jasper excitedly.
However, she had only walked halfway when several socialites crowded around, pushing her to the outermost circle.
Renee anxiously clutched her dress.
Why was it so difficult to get close to Jasper?
But Alyssa had secretly married this outstanding man. Why was God so unfair? Why did Alyssa get all the good things?
The more Renee thought about it, the more annoyed and unfair she felt. She angrily squeezed her way to the front.
Jasper was just right in front of her. After thinking briefly, she pretended to be unsteady. With a shout, she directly threw herself
at Jasper.
At once, Jasper frowned. He had wanted to dodge, but with people on all sides, there was nowhere to evade. As a result, Renee
crashed into his arms.
The sweet and nauseating scent of perfume overwhelmed him, making him dizzy. He felt the urge to kick her aside.
"Mr. Beckett, I'm so sorry. I lost my balance for a moment. I'm really sorry." Renee pressed her hands against his chest, acting
coquettish, but she was overjoyed inside.
No man could resist a woman who took the initiative to throw herself into his arms, especially such a beautiful woman.
However, the instant Renee lifted her eyes to meet Jasper's gaze, she shivered. At the same time, she had goosebumps all over
her body.
His incredibly charming eyes showed no emotion as they coldly stared at her. She felt as though she had fallen into an icy abyss.
At this moment, Sophia and Betty happened to walk down the stairs, witnessing the scene.

Betty had just fixed her face. However, she hadn't fully recovered, so she had to conceal the scars on her face with thick
makeup.
"Who's that woman who threw herself at Jasper?" Sophia yawned.
Just last night, she had a date with the handsome young doctor while Javier was overseas. They played "poker" all night, and
her waist still hurt a bit.
She felt that young people were indeed the best.
Sophia even thought that meeting the doctor had rejuvenated her.
"Let me see."
Betty squinted and carefully observed before recalling, "Oh, her name is Renee. She's from the Taylor family."
"The Taylor family? Why do they keep producing these vixens?" Sophia felt annoyed as soon as she heard the Taylor family's
name and quickly classified Renee.
Indeed, those of the same kind could always recognize each other most accurately.
"She's a daughter from a branch of the Taylor family. Her father is Winston's younger brother, but he only holds a nominal
position in the company and doesn't have much power.
"So, no matter how she tosses around in the circle, she can't make much of an impact."
Betty said with a hint of disdain, "I didn't even recognize her at first glance. I heard she's addicted to plastic surgery, and she
probably went for another touch-up."
Sophia could see that Renee was no pushover either. She couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "How's her relationship with
Alyssa?"
"I heard they don't get along."
"Interesting."

Sophia yawned again, showing a carefree attitude as if watching a show. "Sigh, that Harper family girl didn't come tonight. If she
had come, there would have been an even bigger show. Watching a good show is the best thing to do."
Betty knew that Cornelius was exerting a lot of effort behind the scenes to get Zoe to marry into their family. In such a critical
moment, Zoe needed to keep a low profile so she wouldn't attend an event like tonight's.
Thinking about Zoe becoming her sister-in-law, Betty couldn't help but feel troubled. She even lost sleep over it.
