Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 919
Sophia and Betty received news of the shooting incident and Nina’s death. After learning that Alyssa and Sean were hospitalized
and the police were searching for Jeffrey, they became frightened and anxious.
“Mom, w-what do we do? Ah- Betty was cut off when Sophia glared at her and slapped her across her
sweaty face.
Betty stumbled, colliding with the coffee table. She winced in pain. For someone who never lifted a finger in her daily life, Sophia
sure was fierce when punishing her own daughter.
Betty’s face swelled instantly. Clutching her cheek, she sobbed vehemently, casting resentful glares at
Sophia through her messy locks.
“You good–for–nothing! Did I ever tell you to meddle in this affair? I asked you and Jeff to get rid of that
maid, but I never wanted Alyssa dead!” Sophia hissed.
Despite burning in rage, Sophia had to keep her voice low
She continued harshly reprimanding, “Don’t you know Alyssa is Winston Taylor’s beloved daughter? She’s
also Newton’s favorite and the woman of Jasper’s dreams.
“Why would you make a move on her at such a time? Don’t drag me into the mess!”
“I did this for you! All because you are my mom! Do you understand?” Betty wailed, rising from the ground.
“You said it was a rare opportunity and that Alyssa wouldn’t bring along security when meeting with Nina.
“Jeff used to be an assassin. Killing Alyssa would have been a piece of cake for him. If we had
succeeded, you wouldn’t have had to worry about that bitch anymore!”
“But did you successfully kill Alyssa? No! And Jeff is now a wanted man!” Sophia growled.
Her anger escalated, and she felt an overwhelming urge to tear into her foolish daughter. Trembling with

fury, she wrapped herself in a flannel blanket.
She decided to get an injection from Tristan the next day. It was too hard for her to regulate her emotions
and sleep without the help of drugs.
“I lost Ronald, and now I’ve lost Jeff as well. It’s all your fault that I lost two of my right–hand men!”
“How was Ronald’s case my fault? You wanted him to attack Lyla because you were pissed off at that
bitch. That had nothing to do with me!” Betty retorted.
Betty always admitted her wrongs but refused to accept unjust blame.

Sophia had to count her lucky stars that Ronald hadn’t disclosed the truth about being Betty’s father.
However, she wondered if Jeffrey, who was now wanted nationwide and was being hunted down by
Jasper’s men, would buckle under the pressure and rather out.
Just then, her phone rang, startling both women.
Sophia picked up the phone with shaking hands. Noticing that the call was from an unknown caller, she
hesitated before answering it. “Hello?”
She was greeted with silence. She cautiously inquired, “Jeff, is that you?”
“Yes, Madam. It’s me,” Jeffrey replied in a hushed tone that was further distorted by a poor signal.
“Where are you now?”
“I’m safe for now. Madam, I need some money for my escape. Please get it ready within three days.”
Sophia turned her back to Betty and whispered, “How much do you need?”
“I need 200 million dollars, plus a boat. I plan to take the boat and illegally cross into Tsullu.”

*200 million dollars?” Sophia sharply inhaled.
Her eyes sparked with anger as she hissed, “Where the hell can I get 200 million dollars for you? It’s your
fault for acting without my permission. How dare you come to me and ask for so much money?”
“Madam, you know how much of your trouble I have taken care of over the years,” Jeffrey threatened her
flatly.
*With my assistance, you secured your position as the wife of Beckett Group’s president. I believe I
deserve some credit for that, I think I’ll need 200 million dollars before my retirement. It’s not much. Just
what I deserve.”
“You-
