Can't Win Me Back

Chapter 1171

Alyssa worried that her involvement might exacerbate the already strained relationship between Javier

and Jasper. She wasn't worried about Javier's perception of her; she just refused to make things more

difficult for Jasper within the Beckett Group.

"I think it's Sophia who should worry about her reputation," Jasper dismissed Betty's statement without

even looking at her. "I'll advise you to behave. If you insist on clearing your mom's name, I will see to it

that you join her in jail."

His warning was directed at both Betty and Javier, making it clear that he wouldn't allow them to rescue

Sophia.

"Jasper, how could you—" Betty stomped in anger and tugged at Javier's arm, pleading tearfully, "Dad,

how could Jasper say that? It is my mom and your wife he's talking about! I think he wants me dead,

too. What have I done to him? Who's the evil one here?"

Javier was disoriented and irritated by her tantrum as he struggled to free himself from her grasp.

Simon seized the opportunity upon seeing the fallout. Wiping away his nosebleed, he approached

Javier with a dejected look and appealed, "Mr. Javier, I've given my all to you and the Beckett Group,

which I'm sure you know.

"Jasper might hold a grudge against your wife, which is not my concern, but he released his frustration

on me when I was only doing my job. This is so unfair to me, Mr. Javier!"

Javier flinched at the sight of Simon's bloodied face and replied flatly, "Mr. Lynch, I'm sorry for that. I'll

take care of the matter."

At that point, Jasper was incredibly disgusted with his family. He simply said, "Lyse, let's go home,"

refusing to share the same space with his father. Under everyone's scrutiny, he took Alyssa's hand and

left the police station.

Pausing briefly as he walked past Simon, he remarked, "Reach out to my secretary for the medical

compensation. I rarely resort to violence, so be sure to ask for a higher figure."

Simon trembled in anger, which tugged on his wound, almost making him yelp in pain.

Alyssa stared straight at Jasper's broad shoulders and his arm as she quietly followed him. It was

anastonishing sight for Cyrus, who had always regarded Alyssa as a strong woman. He was, therefore,

in disbelief when he saw her gentle and submissive attitude when she was with Jasper.

Suddenly, Javier called out to her, "Ms. Alyssa."

Jasper and Alyssa stood still. Jasper's body tensed as he pulled her into a protective hug as if he were

worried someone might take her away.

"What's the matter, Mr. Javier?" Alyssa asked calmly.

"Can you confidently swear that you have nothing to do with Sophia's video, her arrest, and Dr.

McAlister's testimony?" Javier seethed and interrogated her.

Frowning, Jasper insisted, "Just come to me if you have any questions. Don't make things difficult for

Lyse."

However, Alyssa smiled brightly and owned up to it, "Of course, I have everything to do with those

incidents."

This led to astonishment among the Becketts. Even Jasper was taken aback by her honesty.

Betty immediately took the opportunity to accuse her, "So, Alyssa Taylor, it was you who plotted against

my mom! I knew she was innocent. This was all your doing!

"How can a woman be as malicious as you? After causing trouble in our family, you went on to seduce

Jasper, using him to achieve your goals. You're nothing but bad news!"novelbin

Just as Cyrus was about to speak up for Alyssa, Alyssa casually replied, "Mr. Javier, Dr. McAlister

indeed worked for me."
