Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 192

Newton’s suggestion had Javier’s and Sophia’s faces falling flat on the table. Betty, on the

other hand, nearly spat out her drink.

‘Don’t joke about these things, Grandpa Jasper said sternly.

Winston was just as stunned as everyone else.

“You have three daughters, if I remember correctly?” Newlon asked, to which Winston

nodded.

“Yes, three. I have a total of nine children. They’re enough for me for a lifetime now.”

“Ah, and are those three married yet?”

Winston replied awkwardly. “My sixth child, Miley, has already married. She’s currently

overseas. My youngest, Tatiana, is still in school. I don’t want her to marry just yet. Let her

enjoy her youth and whatnot.”

“What about your third girl, the one you dole on? What was her name again? Al–

something?”

Winston’s gaze turned gentle at the thought of his favorite daughter. “That’s my eighth

child, Alyssa.”

Jasper felt something like thunder hit him. His grip on his wineglass nearly slipped.

“Right! Alyssa! I remember seeing her years ago. She was such a sweet, happy child.”

Newton grinned. “She should be around twenty–four now, right? Any marriage prospects

yet?”

“No

“What would you say if she marries my grandson, Jasper?”

Winston blinked rapidly, silently cursing out the old man for being so dense as to not be

able to tell he didn’t want his beloved daughter

anywhere close to Javier’s son.

How could he dare to presume Alyssa was good enough for them?

“I’m already engaged, Grandpa,” Jasper spoke up, gritting his teeth at the thought of

Alyssa Taylor. “Even if I were single, Ms. Alyssa and I

would never work out.”

Newton was about to reply when Winston cut in. “I’m afraid I don’t understand what you

mean, Jasper. Is Alyssa not good enough for you?

She’s my most beloved child. I wouldn’t even let a prince near her if he didn’t get my

approval. Where do you get the courage to deny her

outright? It’s a bit prudish, no?”

Winston would’ve used far worse language if Newton hadn’t been here.

How could this boy dare to insult his daughter?

“I agree that Ms. Alyssa is an incredibly skilled and competent businesswoman. We’ve

crossed paths before, and I have witnessed firsthand the incredible feals she has done, the

strategies she has implemented.” Jasper explained, meeting Winston’s gaze.

He continued, “We just have clashing personalities. Being together would create more

conflict than necessary. But I do look forward to the day we finally meet, where I hope to

work together with her, business–wise.”

Not bad, Winston thought. The kid knew just what to say.

“What do you mean “linally meet? Let’s arrange a time right now for you two to meet.

Who knows, you might find it easier to get along than previously thought!” Newton cried,

happily clapping the table.

Jasper’s expression had turned stormy. His grandfather was really doing everything he

could to stop his marriage with Liana from coming

to fruition.

Just as he was about to state his refusal, Sophia cried out, “Dad, isn’t this too outrageous

a suggestion? Jasper is about to marry Liana!

“About to,” so they’re not married yet.” Newton met her eyes with a firm grin. “Marriage is

akin to a contractual agreement most of the time. Before this agreement is signed and

witnessed, it is still subject to variables, including termination!”

“But news of their engagement has already gone out, Dad. What would the public think of

Ms. Alyssa if you were to play matchmaker now?

…

Sophia shared a knowing look with Liana, deviously cackling inside.

Meanwhile, Winston was left in utter shock

Jonah, his eldest son and one of the most virtuous young men he had ever met, was

involved with Jasper Beckett’s wife.

How could this be? Wasn’t Jonah a priest?

Wasn1 adultery a xin?

Jasper was running through the hallways, trying to find Alyssa. His calm demeanor, which

had been maintained for countless years, had been shattered for the first time. All

because Alice and Jonah were alone in the same room together.

All that was on Jasper’s mind was to bring her back to his side. He silently muttered under

his breath, “I won’t let Jonah touch you. Alice

When he reached the guestroom in question where the two were, he came to a stop,

already panting heavily like a bull.

Just as he was about to open the door, it opened on its own.

Alyssa was standing in the doorway, one hand supporting Jonah as the man leaned heavily

on her. His clothes were a mess. When she saw Jasper her expression fared in shock

Jasper’s hand remained in the air as their gazes met. He was shaking.

What are you doing here?” Alyssa stuttered. She then scoffed, assuming an irritated look.

“Looks like their plan worked. You’re

the first to see us made idiots, huh?”

“Did Did he touch you? Jasper asked, his hands wanting to hold her but unable to.

Alyssa scowled. shoving past the man. “Get out of my sight!”

All that was on her mind now was to save her brother.
