Can't Win Me Back

Meanwhile, Liana was also crying on the other end of the line.

“Alice knew that Grandpa never liked me, yet she kept using him just to cause trouble for me! She’s such a shameless bitch!”

Jasper kept staring at Alyssa the whole time, so he didn’t hear what Liana said.

Alyssa was bawling her eyes out without a care in the world, but Jasper could feel her raw emotion. His heart pricked in pain whenever he saw a teardrop dripping off her chin.

“What’s wrong, Alice? Please don’t scare me.” Newton had been through a lot in life, yet he couldn’t help but panic when facing a woman’s tears.

Alyssa kept sobbing the whole time. “Grandpa, I… I broke the bracelet! I’ve been trying so hard to fix it, b–but I just can’t….

“That’s why I thought I could make a new bracelet which is the same as the old one, but… but I was afraid that you’d get mad at me once you find out…”

She continued crying. “I’m sorry for lying to you, Grandpa! I’m so sorry.

Alyssa trembled as she cried her heart out. Her hands were already drenched with tears. She looked so pathetic at that moment.

After listening to the tearful confession, Jasper could only remain rooted to his spot. He was shocked.

He finally understood what Alyssa was up to over the past few days.

At the same time, he realized the reason why her fingers were covered in calluses. It turned out that she was doing her best to recreate the bracelet Newton had given her.

The sight of Alyssa’s tears made him feel bitter and distressed.

“Oh my. It’s just a small matter, my dear Alice.”

Newton grabbed Alyssa’s hand affectionately while smiling at her. “Actually, I knew your bracelet isn’t the same one I gave you when you first came in. I had a feeling that it was broken. Otherwise, you would’ve continued wearing it as usual.

“I’m not going to blame you, Alice. Doris had a huge collection of bracelets that could fill up a chest. I wanted to give them to you at first, but I was worried that you wouldn’t accept them. That’s why I selected the best bracelet and came up with an excuse just to give it to you.”

Newton explained, “Back then, Doris often told me jokingly that the bracelets were a huge burden

for her Sha quer

Alyssa finally calmed down after hearing Newton’s explanation. Then again, her eyes were still

teary, and the tip of her nose was still red.

“Jasper! Where did you go, you bastard?”

Newton slapped his wheelchair’s armrest. He yelled, “You st* pid brat, get your ass here and comfort your wife!”

Liana quickly called out to Jasper, “Don’t go there, Jasper! I’m still not done talking to you-”

“I need to deal with something right now. I’ll talk to you later.” Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Jasper hung up once he was done speaking.

When Liana noticed the call was disconnected, she was so mad that her breathing became heavier. Her cheeks gradually reddened due to how angry she was.

“Alice, you filthy bitch! I’ll make you suffer!”

Liana soon called Sophia on the phone.

“Aunt Sophia, please help me! That Alice bitch is spending time with Jasper at Grandpa Newton’s

villa right now!”

Liana started crying once again. “At this rate, Jasper will fall in love with her! He’d come running.

to me without a word whenever I requested him to visit me in the past, but….

“But he hung up on me just now before I could finish talking to him! This means he no longer

loves me, right?”

Liana continued tearfully, “Aunt Sophia, if I can’t marry into the Beckett family, I won’t be able to help you anymore! I can’t even use the skills I’ve learned from you!”

She knew very well that ranting to Sophia wouldn’t help her in this situation. Instead, she would

have to drag Sophia into this mess by hinting that the latter’s plan was threatened. That way, the

older woman would do her best to help her.

“Don’t be alarmed, Lia. You know what Jasper is like. You can’t force him to do anything. You have

to be patient too, or else you might screw the whole thing up like last time. After all, he still

remembers the time when you accused Alice on purpose.

“I know he wants to make it up to you. He also remembers how kind you were to him when you

two were still kids. But still, you can’t put your friendship with him at risk,” Sophia said calmly.

“What should I do, then?” Liana asked in alarm.

“Just keep acting pitiful. Make sure to attract Jasper’s attention no matter what.”

Sophia chuckled coldly. “Alice will never be your match since I’m on your side.”

Meanwhile, Jasper rushed into the study hurriedly

“I’m here, Grandpa.”

“Are you deaf? Didn’t you hear Alice crying just now? Were you planning to ignore her if I didn’t

call out to you?” Newton didn’t hesitate to berate his grandson right away.

He’d gladly order Jasper around just to entertain Alyssa.

“No.”
