Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Renee hid in the car, sobbing. Her eyeliner and mascara were smudged. She looked utterly pitiful.
"Enough! What are you crying for? Look at you, so pathetic!" Dominic was furious.
"I made such a fool of myself in front of so many people. What's wrong with shedding a few tears?"
Renee miserably wiped her tears. "Mr. Beckett is really too much. I fell right in front of him. Shouldn't he help me? How could he
turn a blind eye?
"He can only see that bitch, Alyssa! His soul is with her!"
When Dominic recalled Jasper's intense gaze and brazen stare at Alyssa, he was infuriated.
"Dad, Mr. Beckett still has feelings for Alyssa. What should I do?" Renee asked tearfully.
"What feelings? They wouldn't have gotten divorced if he truly had feelings for her. If they're divorced, it means he couldn't go on
being married to her even for a day."
Dominic sighed, his gaze dark. "Right now, if you want to get close to Jasper, Alyssa isn't the only obstacle. There's also that girl
from the Harper family."
Renee thought of Zoe and found it quite troublesome.
Zoe and Jasper's recent hotel rendezvous caused quite a stir. Now, rumors of an alliance between the Harper and Beckett
families were rampant.
But she felt that the immature Zoe wasn't worth worrying about.
It was Alyssa who felt like a looming threat, giving her a scalp-tingling sense of danger.
"Yeah ... That girl from the Harper family ..."
Renee sniffled. "Mr. Beckett is really something. I can understand that he likes Alyssa. But why is he interested in Zoe? Am I
inferior to that girl?"
"You're usually quite clever, but how did you become so confused when it comes to important matters?"

Dominic disdainfully clicked his tongue. "Jasper is not interested in Zoe. The hotel meeting might be some scheme of hers,
aiming to marry Jasper and become the wife of the Beckett Group's president.
"If Jasper really had feelings for that Harper girl, why hasn't there been an official announcement or declaration? I doubt this
alliance will go through."
Renee was enlightened by these words.
She had always listened to her father and knew that he was full of ideas. Otherwise, in the face of Winston's dominance, he
would have had no place to stand long ago.
"If the Harper family can use schemes, why can't we? Right now, it's better to seize the opportunity when it's available."
Dominic narrowed his eyes in deep thought.
Renee hurriedly asked, "Dad, what do you mean?"
"Renee, as the saying goes, 'No pain, no gain.' You have to be shameless to get a wealthy husband."
Dominic patted her shoulder heavily. "If you want to get Jasper, you have to let go of your integrity and make a bold move."
She never had any integrity.
As for the bold move, that was a must.
Without taking risks, how could she climb the social ladder?
Renee held Dominic's arm and spoke coquettishly, "Daddy, my dearest Daddy, do you have any ideas? Tell me quickly."
"With your current situation, there aren't many chances to meet Jasper privately. So, whenever there's an opportunity, you must
firmly seize it."
Dominic whispered in her ear for a while, and Renee's tightly furrowed brows relaxed as enlightenment dawned.
"Understood, Dad. I'm willing to do anything to become Mr. Beckett's woman."
Jasper returned to the party venue with an unpleasant expression.

Landon quickly approached him. After observing him for a moment, he cautiously asked, "What's wrong? You didn't argue with
Lyse, did you?"
