Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 47
Alyssa: “That’s enough! You guys are so childish. Jasper must have investigated us because he suspects Silas‘ identity. You
showed up twice to protect me, so I think he realized you aren’t Jonah. If that’s the case, then you guys don’t have to hide
anymore. If he wants an answer, I’ll give him an answer!”
The moment she spoke up, her older brothers immediately stopped fooling around.
Alyssa’s gaze darkened as she swirled the red wine in her glass.
The weekend arrived in the blink of an eye.
After public pressure, the Gardner Group held a press conference at a five–star hotel. A lot of reporters showed up.
The Gardner family wasn’t that influential on their own. Liana’s engagement with Jasper made the Gardner family the center of
attention overnight.
A black Maybach was parked by the roadside opposite the hotel’s entrance. Inside it, Jasper watched the press conference on
his iPad indifferently.
“Mr. Beckett, Mr. Newton reminded you not to bother about Gardner Group.” Xavier said worriedly, “Wouldn’t your bond with your
father be affected if you keep going against him? I’m worried that Mrs. Beckett will talk bad about you.”
“It won’t affect me. I won’t help the Gardner Group,” said Jasper coldly. “As for my father, there wasn’t any bond between us, to
begin with.”
Xavier sighed. His boss looked grand on the outside, but he was actually an outcast in the Beckett family. Jasper had nobody to
vent to.
The press conference started. With everyone watching, Dylan Gardner walked onstage in a stately manner with his chin held
high. He looked displeased and wronged, as if he had suffered severe unfair treatment.
“You all know that Elysian Home, a Gardner Group subsidiary, has 32 outlets in Solana City and over 400 nationwide. It’s a well–
known brand. The negativity this time is deliberate, aimed at damaging Gardner Group’s professional image!” Dylan declared.
Xavier pursed his lips while looking at the screen. “What an arrogant man he is. How can he be so self–righteous when his
company’s products obviously have serious quality issues? He’s so shameless!”

Jasper said nothing, but his frown deepened.
“But the first party to expose Elysian Home’s quality issues is a hotel under KS Group. KS Group’s reputation is respected
nationwide.
They have never slandered their competitors for their own gain. That’s why I think Elysian Home is not simply being targeted by
someone.
What are your thoughts on this?” the reporter asked sarcastically.
Dylan’s expression darkened immediately. He responded, “Elysian Home has been here for more than a decade. This is the first
time we’ve
faced this kind of incident. I am also anxious and worried.”
“Mr. Gardner, does this mean you admit to having quality issues? Besides, if I remember correctly, a serious complaint was
lodged against you early last year. I’m sure everyone here remembers the incident?” The reporter shot Dylan another question
and refreshed everyone’s
memory.
Dylan’s expression grew stormy, and he clenched his fists tightly.
Meanwhile, in the underground car park, Alyssa sat in her sports car. She was watching a live stream of the press conference.
She smirked. No one could have guessed that she had sent that reporter.
“In the two years Dylan became CEO, he’s pocketed tons of profit and done whatever he wanted. The company keeps having
problems. Dylan is also about to squander all of his family’s wealth,” said Alyssa.
Sean laughed mirthlessly and said, “But I didn’t think he was so bold to dare to lie publicly at a press conference. Is he so
confident that
no one knows his Achilles heel?”
Alyssa replied, “He thinks he has a trump card. That’s why he dares to speak so pompously.”

Alyssa narrowed her eyes slyly and took a packet of chocolate from Sean’s coat pocket. Then, she unwrapped it and put the
piece of chocolate into her mouth. “Just wait and see. He’ll play his trump card once he gets pushed to the edge, and our
opportunity will be here.”
