Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 425
Alyssa frowned. Why did that sound so weird? It was like someone had flavored a floral perfume with old
socks.
The atmosphere suddenly grew quiet. Neither spoke.
After some time, Jasper said, “That’s all I wanted to tell you. Goodnight.”
“Hey!”
But Jasper had already hung up.
“What the hell? Was he drunk or something?” Alyssa grumbled, shaking her head as she switched off her phone.
Meanwhile, Jasper was just realizing how clammy his hands were. His throat was burning dry, and his heart pounded wildly
against his ribs like a caged animal.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. “Let what is a bane of my mind today pass on before the next light. May that which
frequents my heart unchecked, leave
Abigail remained in a state of coma after the car accident.
According to the doctor, she was near vegetative, with very little chance of reawakening. This came as wonderful news to Betty.
She felt like Lady Luck was finally gracing her presence!
She couldn’t have anyone find out that she had persuaded Abigail to steal information from KS World
Hotel.
Still, Betty’s situation didn’t change for the better. Ada Kingsley insisted that she would only speak to Jasper about working
together. Apparently, her team was also scouting other hotels, too.
Betty went to visit Zoe at her place after lunch. She was panicking to no end. However, Zoe appeared calm and composed,
quietly sipping her tea.
“What do you plan to do about Ada?”

“The only reason she chose KS World Hotel is because Alyssa fulfilled her condition of procuring one of the world’s top jewelry
designers to help design for her wedding-all for that useless little brooch!
“My useless brother hasn’t been able to get Alexa onboard until today!” Betty cried, stomping her feet.

Zoe cocked her head. “All’s not lost.”
“What... What do you menn, Zoe?” Betty asked in shock. “Did you manage to find one of Alexa’s designs?”
“As far as I know, Alexa has never revealed herself to the public, always keeping a low profile. In fact, we don’t even know if
she’s alive, and barely anyone has seen her actual products. So, why don’t you make a counterfeit one to give to Ada?”
“Y-You want me to give Ada Kingsley fake jewelry? I’d be ruined if someone found out!!” Betty gasped, eyes wide as plates.
“Tsk. How would anyone find out? You can’t even tell whether you’re bidding for a fake or genuine item during auctions, not to
mention something as small as a bunch of shiny rocks. No one would be able to tell other than Alexa herself,” stated Zoe.
Then, Zoe leaned in and murmured, “Plus, I know a guy from Yoarkley. He’s a jewelry designer and was once Alexa’s disciple. I
can have him make a counterfeit of Alexa’s jewelry for you. Then, you can pass it on to Ada. That way, she’ll definitely agree to
work with you.”
Betty was still feeling hesitant about this plan. But honestly, she barely had a choice anymore. She gritted her teeth and chose to
give it a go. >
