Can't Win Me Back



When Justin and Alyssa stepped into the banquet hall together, another uproar swept through the hall. Everyone focused their astonished gazes on the pair.

I'm not dreaming, am I? The one accompanying Alyssa isn't Mr. Jasper, but another man?"

"That man has such a confident air about him. His looks and bearing are comparable to Mr. Jasper's!"

"Ms. Alyssa has so many brothers in the Taylor family. Could it be one of her brothers whom we have never seen?

"Justin!"

Javier was pumped up in an instant. Beaming, he strutted to the front of Justin and Alyssa.

Justin?

The room fell silent as the crowd exchanged confused glances.

"Hey, Dad." Justin smiled, his eyes looking clear and bright.

Alyssa was a daughter from a wealthy aristocratic family. Although she and Javier used to be on bad terms, she still attended the Beckett family's event.

She politely greeted Javier. "Mr. Javier, my father is resting up at home and is unable to make it. So, he got me to come especially to send his regards."

Alyssa spoke courteously and broad-mindedly.

With a tall and elegant man standing right next to her, they looked like a good-looking pair with visuals like a painting.

"I appreciate Mr. Winston's thoughts. I am doing very well."

Javier did not have that frigid gaze that he usually had toward Alyssa. Instead, he gave her a kind smile, one that an elder would give when they looked at a younger person.

Those who didn't know them might even think he and the Taylors were on really good terms.

"I heard that Mr. Winston has been recuperating overseas, but I haven't been able to free my hands to visit him. But I'll be sure to reach out to him soon. If he's free, I'll certainly visit him."

At this moment, Jasper happened to arrive with Newton. He pushed Newton's wheelchair as they entered the banquet hall together.

The words Javier spoke didn't escape their ears.

Alyssa responded with a slight smile and said nothing else.

She was an intelligent woman. At one glance, she saw through Javier's sly intentions.

When she dated Jasper, word spread among outsiders that the Taylors and the Becketts were not on good terms. Even though the couple were deeply in love and had talked about marriage more than once, Javier had never stepped into the Heightsnew Villa. He had never even called Winston.

Right now, in Justin's presence, he displayed such an unreservedly friendly side. With such differential treatment toward both his sons, it was inevitable that the public would start drawing all kinds of conclusions.

"Jasper and Alyssa... Have they broken up?"

"Is that so? That'd be great. We'd have a chance now!"

"Oh my word... They broke up? I don't believe in love anymore!"

"You're just a hopeless romantic. Love is something that is not worth believing in in the first place."

"By the looks of it, Alyssa has gotten herself involved with Mr. Justin? Has Mr. Javier given his approval? She's such a slut, toying with the older sibling after she's done with the younger one."

"Both brothers got involved with the same woman. She's quite crafty, isn't she?"

Justin took the people's casual remarks to heart.

He turned his proud yet handsome face slightly. With a smile that reached his eyes, he glanced over briefly at the people who spoke.

The two gossipers shut up immediately while their eyes darted everywhere to try and alleviate their panic. Justin looked away coldly.

Even though that glance was emotionless, it sent chills down their spine and made them go numb.

This situation made Newton fly into a rage. His face flushed with anger as he turned to Jasper. He jabbed him with his elbow. "Go! Hurry up and go to Alyssa's side. Hurry up!"NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Jasper gazed deeply at Alyssa and Justin from behind. They looked like such a matching pair.

Jasper's muscular arms tensed up slowly. Yet, he remained standing at the same spot.

"You jerk! Your wife is going to be taken away. Why are you still standing here like an idiot?" Newton blurted.

Fury bubbled up inside him, and he was about to spring to his feet and give Jasper a harsh lesson. "Before, just hearing Alyssa talk to other men would send you into a rage.

"Your father is about to match Alyssa with your older brother. How could you stand here being so unmoved? What is wrong with you? Fucking hell. Even dogs would pee to mark their territories. You're fucking worse than a dog!"

An immense pain shot through Jasper's head. He held himself to the point where he started heaving.

Then, he turned around and exited the banquet hall.
