Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 861
Jasper didn’t bother to look at Renee. As he drank his champagne, he said nonchalantly, “It’s okay. I didn’t
mind.”
“Renee, you can’t be so careless. You’re a daughter of the Taylor family. How can you behave like this?”
Dominic sternly criticized his daughter. “You should learn from Lyse. People say she looks down on you.
As your father, even I can’t look at you now.”
“Dad, I was wrong. I’ll learn from Lyse.”
Renee gently bit her lip, tears glistening at the corners of her eyes. The act of coquetry was just like a switch for her. “I think... as
long as I work hard, Lyse will eventually recognize me, right? She won’t look down on me like before.”
“Look down on you?”
Jasper’s eyes darkened, and he quirked an eyebrow. “I’ve been married to Alyssa. I know what kind of person she is.
“When she was with me, she never looked down on anyone, not even a servant in my family. How could she look down on her
own cousin?”
Landon nodded beside them.
Though Jasper spoke harshly and acted rigidly, he was quite clear-headed.
“I didn’t mean that ...” Renee was embarrassed and blushed.
“I know Alyssa, so I won’t believe what you say. But let me give you a word of advice-when you’re outside, don’t say such things
about her if your relationship with her is as intimate as Mr. Dominic says.”
There was a sharp, discerning quality to Jasper’s eyes. Although he didn’t explicitly threaten Renee, every word he uttered
carried a strong sense of oppression.
Panicking, Renee discreetly signaled her unease to Dominic.

“Renee, it seems like there was a bit of a mix-up with Mr. Beckett because of the way you expressed yourself.”
Dominic could only try to smooth things over “Renee, quickly raise your glass to Mr. Beckett and apologize.
“Mr. Beckett, please don’t harbor any ill feelings toward Renee on my account. She tends to be imp
unintended offense.”
Dominic couldn’t be more humble, but he had no choice. If he didn’t lower himself, he felt that Jasper
might leave.
Jasper respected Winston. Furthermore, Dominic was his ex-father-in-law’s younger brother, and he
couldn’t ignore that connection.
At this moment, a waiter approached with a tray holding several glasses of champagne.
Renee picked up two glasses, one for herself and one for Jasper.
“Mr. Beckett, here’s to you. I promise to be more mindful of my words and actions moving forward.”
Having emptied his champagne glass and feeling frustrated, Jasper was fortunate as Renee handed him
a drink. He swiftly consumed it in one gulp.
Seeing that, Renee smiled and elegantly finished hers.
“Mr. Harper, I have some business partners from KS Group here, and they have a keen interest in Harper Group. How about
joining us for a chat? It could open up potential collaboration opportunities.”
Dominic, like a gentle elder, extended an invitation to Landon.
Upon hearing that, Landon’s eyes lit up.
He wasn’t just interested in women. He was also a lover of wealth. Wherever there was a business opportunity, he would seize it.
After all, if he wanted to compete with his uncle, expanding his network in the business world was necessary. His main purpose
in coming tonight was for this.

“Jasper, I’ll go over there first.” After speaking, Landon left with Dominic, leaving Jasper alone with Re
At this moment, Jasper’s face was darker than the bottom of a pot.
“Mr. Beckett, there’s a dance later. Would you mind-” Renee fluttered her eyelashes, attempting to invite Jasper.
Before she could finish her sentence, a chilling gaze from Jasper penetrated the depth of her being. Terrified, her tongue twisted
into knots. She didn’t dare to express any more of her thoughts.
