Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 794
“Don’t you worry, Zoe. Things won’t end so easily. I’ll be sure to get back at them for you!” Penelope
consoled her daughter, a coldness glinting in her eyes.
“How? Landon is the one in control of the family right now, and he’s on such good terms with Jasper and
Alyssa. What could you possibly do?”
Penelope snarled, “If Landon won’t let you be with Jasper, then no way is he going to be together with that
retarded Beckett girl! You have Grandpa on your side.
“Grandpa wouldn’t just let our family reputation be tarnished like this. He’s definitely going to facilitate
your wedding with Jasper while keeping Lauren away from our family!”
“Landon isn’t budging at all to our attempts, Mom. Don’t you think he knows exactly what we’re up to?”
Zoe cried anxiously, “He protects that nitwit Lauren like she’s some prized toy! When would we ever get
the chance to do anything?”
“Our chance will come. As much as Landon adores Sophia’s silly little daughter, he can’t possibly keep her
around with him 24/7. He’s bound to leave her side sometime!” Penelope was truly angry now.
Penelope was usually so calm and collected, but now, seeing how in danger her daughter’s reputation
was, Penelope was ready to remove every single obstacle between Zoe and Jasper so Zoe could marry
him!
Penelope was also determined to find the perfect match for Landon so he would bring home a proper,
reputable wife. This wife of his could never be Sophia’s daughter!
Alyssa hurried into her car before accelerating out of Seaview Manor. It was as if the place was filled with

horrid poison.
The moment her car exited the front gate, her grip around the steering wheel tightened.
Under the dim light of the streetlamp, Jameson stood leaning against his electric blue car. Who kne
how long he’d been standing there?/No impatience or irritation showed in his expression. 3
The moment Jameson saw Alyssa’s car, his eyes brightened. He stood up straight and waved at her,
looking like an excited youth.
Alyssa’s car came to a stop before him.
“What are you doing here?” Alyssa asked in surprise as she walked out of her car.
“I was waiting for you.” Jameson smiled with a fond gentleness in his eyes.
“Waiting for me? Why?” Alyssa was confused now.
“I used some connections to figure out that you were headed here, so I followed along. I was just worried you might be
overwhelmed, nothing else. You don’t have anyone around to help you after all.”
Jameson then smiled bitterly. “I ended up making a fool of myself. I can’t go inside nor help you with anything. But I did get to
see you, so it wasn’t a complete waste of time.”
Alyssa blinked rapidly, feeling befuddled by Jameson’s words.
She had always enjoyed going wherever and doing whatever she wanted without being restrained. The thought that someone
was investigating her whereabouts behind her back made her very uneasy.
“It wasn’t anything serious. Just something personal.” Alyssa’s smile was forced. “The Beckett family isn’t a lions’ den. I’ve lived
here for three years. I know my way around.”
Dark thoughts swirled in his mind as he contemplated those three years-three years of the lifeless,
suffocating marriage that Alyssa had endured.

Anguish welled up in Jameson’s chest. He was about to say something when his expression darkened.
Jasper watched them from a distance. His handsome features were cold and collected. He seemed like
a statue standing there, blending into the dark background.
However, Alyssa was oblivious to how longingly Jasper stared at her.
“Jimmy, I...” Alyssa was about to speak when her vision swam.
The next thing she knew, Jameson had enveloped her in a tight hug.
Alyssa reacted too slowly. She was pressed against his chest-so close that she could hear his uneven
breathing. His hands wrapped around her waist, slowly tightening.
