Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1096

Zoe betrayed a hint of insanity when she noticed Alyssa's anger. She poked her cheeks, taunting, "Slap me if you dare! I bet you're dying to slap me. Come on!"

Alyssa dug her fingernails into her palms, knowing that taking Zoe's bait and laying a finger on Zoe would only put her at a disadvantage.

To her surprise, she heard a loud sound as she witnessed Zoe slapping herself. Zoe did not have mercy on herself at all—her cheeks were swollen, and her carefully styled bun came apart.

With that, Zoe grinned maliciously and strumbled out of the doors. Then, she held her cheek and dramatically collapsed on the floor, drawing the attention of onlookers—media, guests, and staff alike.

Those nearby shifted their gazes onto Zoe before noticing Alyssa by the door.

"What happened? Let's check it out!"

"Did Alyssa and Zoe have a brawl? And over what? That's quite crude."

"What else could it be? Probably a spat over a man!"

"Jasper Beckett, right? Isn't he quite the catch? Seems like a lot of ladies are vying for his attention!"

"Zoe is a respectable young lady. There's no reason she should be bullied. If I were there, I would've fought back!"

Alyssa scoffed at the ludicrous gossip with disdain. The smile on her lips was as icy as winter.

Her response to Zoe's allegations left everyone stunned. Alyssa quipped, "Fascinating. I've never witnessed such a spectacle in my life."

Shooting a threatening look at Zoe, she continued fearlessly, "I'll admit, I did entertain the thought of hitting you, but I was pleasantly surprised when you decided to slap yourself. It saves me from getting my hands dirty. What a lucky day!"
