Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 775
The hall fell into an eerie silence as Alyssa’s imposing presence made everyone feel like they were in an
icy abyss.
Her intimidating presence was no less formidable than that of Cornelius, a figure known in legitimate and
underworld circles.
Sophia, who had been wearing a smug smile, assumed that Alyssa had heard about the Harper family pressuring Jasper into
marriage and had come to snatch him away from Zoe.
Sophia was ready to witness a dramatic showdown, but Alyssa’s unexpected claim that she had come to
see her threw her off guard.
“Ms. Alyssa, you’re here for me? We don’t seem to have any disputes, do we? Why do you want to see me?
Sophia asked with surprise, forcing a nervous laugh.
Π
“Actually, our dispute ended the day Jasper and I got divorced. But your dispute with an old acquaintance
is far from over,” Alyssa said calmly, her tone devoid of any emotion.
Yet Alyssa’s calm words were like a bomb that caught everyone off guard.
“Zoe, what did Ms. Alyssa just say? Divorced? What’s going on?” Cornelius stared at Zoe in disbelief.
“Grandpa, I mentioned it to you. Don’t you remember?” Zoe reminded him timidly.
“Mentioned? When? I might be old, but I’m not a fool! When did you tell me that Jasper had been married
before and divorced?”
Cornelius had spent most of the year recuperating abroad, leaving the family business in the hands of

Landon and Preston.
He was unaware that Jasper had already been married and divorced and that his former wife was
Winston’s daughter!
A feeling of being deceived overwhelmed him.
“Mr. Cornelius, so what if Mr. Jasper has been married before?”
Rosie couldn’t stand Cornelius’ attitude anymore. She retorted, “Mr. Jasper is an incredible being. Even if
he has been married eight tirnes, a long queue of women will still be waiting to marry him.
“Moreover, your granddaughter also wants to marry Mr. Jasper. If she doesn’t mind, why are you making a
fuss?”
“You old woman, who gave you the right to speak?” Cornelius snapped.
“This is Seaview Manor, not the Harper Residence. I can say whatever I want. It’s none of your business,
Rosie retorted coldly, not even bothering to look at him.
Cornelius was furious, but getting into a dispute with a servant from another household was beneath his
status as a big shot.
Javier had been suppressing his emotions all night. Rosie’s outburst against Cornelius finally allowed him
to vent some of his frustration.
He might not like Jasper, but Jasper was still his son. He could scold and punish Jasper, but others
couldn’t.
On the other hand, Jasper’s breathing hitched, and his heart pounded intensely. He walked briskly to Alyssa and said with a
lowered voice, “Alyssa, you can tell me what you want to say. I can solve it for you.”
“Why? Are you afraid I’ll ruin your plans, Mr. Jasper?”

Alyssa looked at Jasper coldly and whispered, “Don’t worry, I won’t delay your family meeting. I’m just
here for Sophia. After that, I’ll leave.”
“I said I’d help you if you have trouble.” Jasper frowned, and complex emotions surged in his dark eyes.
“You can’t solve it, and I don’t need you to.”
Alyssa avoided his intense gaze and turned to look at Sophia sternly.
“Ms. Alyssa, you’ve come all this way. I don’t mind if you have a cup of tea before leaving. But there’s
nothing for both of us to talk about.”
Sophia tilted her chin slightly with a haughty expression. “As for your so-called old acquaintance... Hmm,
I’m even more puzzled.”
“Don’t you have anything to say about Lyla?” Alyssa’s gaze turned icy, and her tone exuded a chilling
coldness.
Sophia’s heart skipped a beat at Alyssa’s words, and her shoulders trembled involuntarily.
