Can't Win Me Back

“What?”

Jasper widened his eyes immediately. His fork clattered on the floor.

When Alyssa noticed how alarmed he looked, her heart nank.

“Ms. Gardner threw a fit at home earlier while screaming your name, Mr. Beckett. She’s emotionally unstable right now. Madam Sophia has requested you to visit her as soon as you can. She’s worried that Ms. Gardner might harm herself-

Before Xavier could finish, Jasper got up. He bolted out of the dining room immediately.

“You ingrate! I’ll disown you if you dare visit that Gardner woman!” Newton slammed a hand on

the dining table furiously.

Unfortunately, it was too late. Jasper’s silhouette had already disappeared from everyone’s sight.

“Goodness, why am I stuck with an ingrate as my grandson? I’ve achieved so much in my lifetime,

yet I can’t save your marriage! Oh, Alice, this is all my fault!”

Newton shook his head with a heavy sigh. He felt nothing but guilt when he looked at Alyssa once

again.

Alyssa’s eyes were clear and calm. She smiled lightly before placing her cool palm on Newton’s

wrinkled hand.

“Don’t say that, Grandpa. You’ve done more than enough for my sake. Jasper and I just aren’t

meant to be.”

Meanwhile, Jasper got ready to get into his car while looking quite worried.

“Mr. Beckett!”

He stopped in his tracks immediately and turned around to look at Alice.

She had run out of the villa. The glint in her red–rimmed eyes was very obvious under the bright

light.

For some reason, Jasper felt slightly guilty when he met her eyes. Just as he was about to say something, Alyssa interrupted him.

“Please inform Ms. Betty on my behalf that I won’t let her off the hook. After all, she did humiliate

my employee and caused her to have a sudden seizure. Ms. Betty must take responsibility for

what happened.”

Jesper furrowed his brows immediately. He didn’t expect Alyssa to follow him out of the villa just

to bring up that matter

The hopetal glint in his eyes disappeared immediately.

Setty may be my sister. But I don’t really interfere with her private matters.”

“So this is a private matter to you, huh? Fine. I get what you mean.”

Alyssa’s lips curled into a cold smirk before she started making her way back to the villa. She no

longer bothered to look at Jasper after that.

Jasper felt uneasy at that moment. He could feel a shiver running down his spine.

Was Alyssa making fun of him?

That night, Jasper visited Liana, who apparently suffered from severe depression. He stayed at her

place till midnight before he was finally able to go home.

Jesper was still mindful of what Liana had done to Alice. Still, he pitied her when he saw the medical report detailing her ment*l illness.

The subject of depression would forever haunt him, after all.

“Something happened. Mr. Beckett. Would you like me to deal with it?” Xavier asked hesitantly

while clutching his phone.

“What is it?” Jasper happened to be resting with his eyes closed

“Someone has uploaded a video of Ms. Betty humiliating the housekeeper to the Internet. Thank goodness our people were able to notice that video in time. They wanted to ask if you’d like it

deleted to protect our company’s reputation.”

“Of course.”

Jasper narrowed his eyes slightly while giving his order. “This is Betty’s personal problem. We can’t let it affect the company’s image. Everything related to that incident must be deleted from

the Internet.”

“Yes, sir!”

Once Jasper returned to Seaview Manor, he headed upstairs right away.

Mrs. Rosie was walking out of her room while wearing a nightgown. She looked very worried as

Warmth flooded Jasper’s heart when he noticed Mrs. Rosie in the corridor. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

She tended to stay up to wait for him if he didn’t tell her when he would return. In a way, she was

like his mother.

But Mrs. Rosie was now an elderly woman. It was difficult for her to stay awake at midnight.

That was why Alice took over the responsibility of taking care of Jasper during the past three years. Every night, she would only go to bed after he returned home.

“Jasper, have you eaten? I’ve warmed up a plate of leftovers for you.”

“Jasper, can you sleep earlier tomorrow? You tend to stay up till midnight, so you often have

headaches. You need to have a good sleeping schedule, you know.”

“I know you don’t like it whenever I nag you, Jasper. But I’m still going to say it again, even if you yell at me. I just want you to stay healthy all the time.”

“I won’t stop waiting for you just because you said so. We’re family, after all.”

Mrs. Rosie heaved a sigh. “If only Madam Alice is still here. I’d be able to rest well at night. She spent the past three years taking good care of you, Mr. Jasper.
