Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 335
Just then, Xavier came over with a cup of coffee. “Sir, I’ve contacted Ms. Sliva from Alexa’s firm. She’s
willing to meet up with you to discuss the matter.”
“Really?”
“Yes. But she’s made it clear that that’s all it is. She seemed pretty cold and unwilling to do it, honestly.
Xavier sighed. “I just hope our endeavor doesn’t go kaput.”
“Don’t worry. I’m not giving up until Alexa meets me herself.”
They waited in Yoarkley for three days before Jasper met with Sliva at a café near Alexa’s design firm. He
wasn’t even invited over to the actual office.
“I’ll get straight to the point, Mr. Jasper.” Sliva’s expression was one of pride and mild annoyance. “Thus
far, Alexa has only made jewelry for presidential members, royalty, and those who have contributed
exceedingly to societal and human welfare.
“Ada Kingsley may be a celebrity, but she does not fall into any of the above precedent categories.”
Xavier scowled, unable to understand what the fuss was all about when it was just jewelry!
Sliva added, “I do not mean to sound standoffish. This is merely the truth.”
Jasper responded, “I have been actively involved in charitable work and have established charities and
trust funds in my mother’s name since I was young.
“I have always enthusiastically supported organizations dedicated to alleviating poverty and orphanages.
I hope Alexa can consider this and not view it as just another celebrity trying to get their way.
“We are prepared to assist Alexa in any way, including financial support. Additionally, we intend to donate

the proceeds from the homecoming party to local charities to help the community.”
“Oh? Do you think that’s all Alexa cares about? Do you think she’s so narrow-minded?” Sliva sneered.
Jasper cleared his throat. “Of course not.”
“Countless people have come to us seeking Alexa’s help over the years, all in the name of charity. Yet
most of them were secretly money launderers and crooks. Who knows if I’m sitting across one now?”
Jasper’s hand balled into a fist.

Xavier had had enough. “Ms. Sliva, we genuinely mean well. There’s no need to insinuate anything unkind
whatsoever.”
Jasper held out a hand to stop him from speaking further.
“I’ve always personally reviewed my company’s assets and cash flow. This event will be included as well. I can send you all the
receipts and listings of related costs for your perusal.”
Sliva looked away. “I will let Alexa know of your proposal, Mr. Jasper. But at the end of the day, Alexa will
be the one to decide on whether she will or will not join you. You’re not the only one who has come to
seek her help.”
Sliva turned around and left right away, barely touching her coffee.
Xavier was pissed. “What was that? She was so rude! Are all Yoarkley women this irritating?”
“We need to come up with a plan right away.” Jasper unclenched his hands. “My guess is Alexa is treating Alyssa and her team
just as tough as she’s treating ours, given our goals are the same. I don’t think Alyssa
could propose anything better than we can, either.”
“Do you have something in mind, sir?”

“We need to start with Ada’s welcoming party first without letting up on Alexa. Keep an eye on Alyssa’s
progress. If she so much as fidgets in regards to Alexa, let me know straight away!”
