Can’t Win Me Back

Alyssa held her breath. "Jonah, what do you mean by that?"

"Look at the condition of Dad's health right now. He is unable to continue managing KS Group. On top of that, this sort of public controversy happened to me. It is no longer appropriate for me to continue as president."

Jasper's chest tightened. "You didn't commit any crimes nor harmed anyone.

Why do you say that it's no longer appropriate?"

"My presence will become a hazard to the corporation."

Jonah's eyes were vacant, betraying no hint of emotion. "As long as I remain in this position, the public will be reminded of those photographs whenever they see me in the future. They will not think of anything else. They will only be reminded of the fact that KS Group's president is a homosexual.

"I don't mind putting my image aside and becoming a laughingstock. However, I cannot do that to KS Group."

"Are you resigning, Jonah? You're not going to remain president?" Alyssa asked with a tremor in her voice. She was shocked and frantic.

Jonah smiled relaxedly. "Yeah. I've discussed this with Dad. I've already made my intentions very clear to him.

"Lyse, do you remember the day when you went home to see Dad? What did I say then? I said that you are the most suitable candidate for president and the most perfect successor of KS Group. I don't want you to feel like it's a regretful thing. Truth be told, I've been waiting a long time for this day.

"It has never been my ambition to be the president. All these years, I have been under a lot of pressure. I never had a chance to relax. Now that you're finally taking over, I can live a life I want."

"Jonah, I was just kidding. I do have ambitions. I'm someone who hungers to have a position, but..."

The tip of Alyssa's nose turned red. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she started choking on her tears.

Jasper read her mind, and his heart ached for her. He wrapped his arms around her and held her in a secure embrace.

"Oh, silly. You're tearing up again."

Jonah comforted her immediately. "I am just tendering my resignation. Nothing is happening to me. You don't have to react like that.

"Moving forward, KS Group will be in your hands. Your wish to carry this responsibility is finally coming true. I'm guessing that you'd even be smiling in your sleep, wouldn't you?

"The only thing is that you'd probably be very occupied in the days to come. In some ways, it will affect the time that you and Jasper will get to spend together.

That is something that I feel sorry about."

"Don't say that, Jonah."

Jasper gave Alyssa a squeeze around her waist. His veins were throbbing, and his heart was pounding. "If spending time apart is a concern, I will marry Lyse as soon as possible.

"After that, I will spend as much time as I can with her. I will cling to her every day. I'm just afraid that she'll become sick and bored of me by then."

Alyssa bit on her lip shyly. She leaned into his arms as she smiled sweetly.

With a smile on his face, Jonah teased Jasper, "My sister is a strong, independent woman. What happens if she wishes to go out to work and for you to be the househusband?"

"If you ask me, I'd rather cook for Lyse than work at the Beckett Group,"

answered Jasper without any hesitation.

He looked at Alyssa with a fiery and sincere gaze. "Lyse just needs to be herself when we're together. As for myself, I am happy just being by her side."

Alyssa's heart swelled with love. She buried her head in Jasper's chest.

"Lyse has garnered some experience at KS World Hotel in the past.

Nevertheless, it still seems hasty for her to assume this position overnight I would appreciate it if you could provide some guidance to her moving forward, Mr. Beckett," Jonah said in a serious tone. Visit bignovels.com to read the latest chapter of this novel

Jasper couldn't help but laugh. "In the past, I have gone against Lyseom multiple times in the business world. I lost to her every single time. I don't think I'm in any position to be guiding her." Visit bignovels.com to read the latest chapter of this novel

Alyssa chimed in, "That was because you let me win."

Jasper answered honestly, "I didn't, really."

Jonah smiled slightly. "Feel free to come by anytime if you miss Dad, myself, or

Jul."

Alyssa and Jasper held each other's hands. They nodded enthusiastically.

Right at that moment, they heard the sound of footsteps approaching from

behind them.

"Jul is here!"

The moon was shining brightly in the night sky.
