Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1114

Chapter 1114 

To Jasper’s surprise, Alyssa frowned and decisively stepped on his toes with her heels, sending pain across his body. It was one thing to have his expensive tailored shoes ruined; it was another to suffer from a crushing pain. 

“Behave yourself, Mr. Beckett,” Alyssa chirped and flicked her hair. 

Strands of her hair brushed against his cheek, tempting him. She warned, “If you don’t, I’ll see to it that your toes are crushed by horse hooves.” 

Lowering his gaze, he croaked, “When we get home, can we-” 

“We’ll talk about that later,” she cut him off. 

Despite her stubbornness, she was overwhelmed by embarrassment. Her lashes flickered. 

Meanwhile, Jasper felt sorry for himself. It seemed that Alyssa had the final say when it came to intimacy. 

“I believe everyone here has a rich experience in maintaining racecourses and horse breeding. It’s a close fight.” Ezzo seemed excited. An idea crossed his mind. This was a great chance to test them out. “Why don’t we start a little competition at this event?” 

“A competition?” The guests around were astonished at the suggestion. 

“I heard that all of you have brought your horses to the race. You might not have handpicked the horse, but you must have raised and trained the horse by yourself. Let’s have a horse race of our own. My company will partner with the winner to develop the racecourse hotel project.”

However, he could not make his feelings known due to the Becketts’ standing in Solana City. Therefore, he would use the competition as a front to introduce three strong competitors into the game. 

When Alyssa learned about the plan, she furrowed her brows. She was very enticed by the racecourse hotel project. 

As always, she was very ambitious and wouldn’t miss any opportunities to make money. Reading her mind, Jasper asked gently, “Lyse, didn’t you mention that Blaze was mediocre? I noticed that my dad’s horses and those owned by the Harpers are expensive thoroughbreds. They clearly want to show off at the event. 

“How confident are you? If… If you don’t think you can win, I’ll get Xavier to swap Blaze for another horse right now. How does that sound?” 

As Alyssa’s man, he did not want her to lose out on the excellent opportunity. 

“It’s too late for any swapping. Besides, Winston is an arrogant man. Swapping out his horse is like an insult to him. You’re basically telling him that you look down on him.” 

After some thinking, she replied, “Leave it as it is. The quality of the horse matters, but one should also take into account the equestrian’s talent. Only a good racer could maximize the potential of a top-notch
