Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 666
Alyssa, looking skeptical, silently gave Jasper a look. She didn’t understand what he was up to by
provoking Jameson.
“Just some everyday goods. I ran a typical business,” Jameson responded, adjusting his glasses. Only the
stiffness of his lips betrayed the anger simmering beneath his facade.
He added, “Mr. Beckett, I must say you’re quite imaginative. I know you hold a grudge against me, but you
shouldn’t question my character and disregard my hard work because of it.”
Jasper put on an amused expression.
Jameson continued, “I’m different from you. You smoothly rose up the ranks within Beckett Group and
swiftly became a young businessman.
“You were chosen as the heir by your grandfather. You will never understand the challenges of building a
business from scratch.”
Alyssa took a sip of champagne after hearing Jameson’s biting reply. It stirred some of her memories.
She was among the few who truly comprehended Jasper’s tough journey to the position of Beckett
Group’s president. It hadn’t been as straightforward as Jameson assumed.
“I never thought that I would get a lecture just for asking you a question, Mr. Schmidt. It seems I’ve made
you nervous. Let’s leave the rumors I heard from Kontina as mere hearsay,” Jasper quipped with a faint
smile.
He exuded an air of intimidation, and his eyes gleamed with a subtle threat. “I have no prejudice against
you, but I will if you get any closer to Lyse.”

Jameson’s jaw clenched upon hearing that, and Miley’s reaction changed from shock to excitement while
witnessing the exchange between the two men.
As Alyssa’s older sister and a woman of high social standing, she had to stifle her laughter. The trip back
home had certainly been worthwhile!
Jasper, are you done?” Alyssa finally snapped and glared at him, “I’ll kick you out if you keep spewing
nonsense.”
Jasper held his breath and clenched his fists. He then inched closer to her, touched her fingers, and
started softly caressing her skin. “Lyse, I was wrong. Please don’t be angry, okay?”
Any woman would find it difficult to resist the advances of such a handsome and affectionate man. The
He grew even more anxious when she remained silent.
Leaning in, he coaxed her, “Can you at least wait until after dinner to beat me up? My title might mean nothing to you, but please
spare a company president from public humiliation.”
Miley silently chuckled at the situation. She and Alyssa shared a penchant for eavesdropping.
“Just stay where you are. I can’t be bothered to beat you up-you’re quite a handful,” Alyssa scoffed,
turning away from Jasper.
Jasper stared longingly at her rosy lips, feeling tempted. Despite being in his 30s, he still acted like a love-
struck teenager when faced with her smile and words.
The stage lights dimmed, and a spotlight illuminated the stage as the emcee made an announcement.
