Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Jasper returned to his study and waited for Xavier. As he smoked by the window with a contemplative look, Nina's words echoed
in his mind, making his heart race.
Did that mean the maid had been secretly in touch with Alyssa? Why?
He mused, "Alyssa, what exactly do you plan to do? Why do you always make me worry?"
He answered when he heard a knock on the door. Taking another drag of his cigarette, he flicked the cigarette ashes with his
calloused fingers.
Xavier shuffled into the room, shut the door, and handed Jasper a note, explaining, "Mr. Beckett, this is the address that Nina
wanted to give you. She'll meet Ms. Alyssa here tonight."
Jasper felt his chest tighten, and even his fingers shook as he accepted the note. He cast a quick glance at it, immediately
memorizing the address.
Then, he questioned, "What else did Nina tell you?"
Xavier shook his head. "Mr. Beckett, I feel that she's spying on this family for Ms. Alyssa."
"She is a spy without a doubt," replied Jasper, clutching the note tightly.
Alyssa had always concocted plans under his nose and stirred up trouble.
Xavier wondered aloud, "What's Ms. Alyssa trying to do?"
His eyes lit up when a thought crossed his mind. He exclaimed, "Did she get a maid to spy on you because she still has feelings
for you? It looks like Ms. Alyssa still has a place for you in her heart. That's good news!"
Jasper shot Xavier a gloomy stare while taking another puff helplessly.
He wasn't delusional. Alyssa hadn't placed a mole in the Beckett family because of her feelings for him. She was a busy and
ambitious career woman who had no time for that.
Only one possibility remained. She must have been worried about certain problems within the Beckett family.

Jasper wondered if Alyssa was thinking of ways to avenge Lyla. If that was the case, all she had to do was discreetly carry out
the plan with Nina.
Why did Nina run to him and expose her plans with Alyssa?
Or was that a secret plea for help?
Eyes blazing, Jasper felt invigorated and needed. He had a strong urge to protect Alyssa.
Xavier asked with concern, "Mr. Beckett, do you want me to go with you?"
Sighing, Jasper shook his head. "No. Nina only wants me there, meaning they don't want the others to learn about their plan."
Still concerned, Xavier said, "Does Ms. Alyssa know you'll be there? If it's only Nina's wish for you to be there, will Ms. Alyssa be
angry when she sees you?"
"If that's the case, I'll keep an eye on her from afar," Jasper replied.
His eyes filled with affection when he thought of Alyssa. He said, "She's always out creating trouble. I'm worried about her."
At 9:00 pm, Becky left the house, all dressed up. Soon after she left, Nina, dressed in black and wearing a cap, sneaked out of
Seaview Manor from the back entrance
After Nina was gone, a black sedan silently emerged from the shadows. The driver asked, "Ms. Betty, do we tail her?"
Jeffrey Snyder was a trusted staff member who worked as a special assistant for Sophia. Since he had served Sophia and Betty
for many years, Sophia had ordered him to assist Betty's mission that night.
Betty replied, "No, we don't have to. We'll make her suffer for selling us out. If we tail her closely, we might land in trouble if
someone takes photos of us."
After years of living with and learning from Sophia, Betty had honed her skills in executing unscrupulous plans.
"Alright. I'll wait for Madam Sophia's orders and take action when the time comes," said Jeffrey unemotionally, just like a robot.
Betty asked, "What do you plan to do?"
