Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1187

The conversation in the study continued.

Winston came from a wealthy background and had sons and daughters, loved ones, and friends. Everyone all across the world admired him for it.

Yet the only person he could speak his heartfelt thoughts to was Neil, who'd been by his side since he was in his youth.

"Things aren't so easy to handle right now, Neil," Winston said.

His brows were knit tight as he shook his head lightly. "Jonah had been the one dealing with the company when Lyse was overseas. Frankly, I could tell how difficult it was for him.

"When Lyse came back, Jonah gave her the position right away. He must've known he had reached his limits. He most probably has found it extremely difficult to further improve himself. What's more, Jonah and Silas aren't … "

Winston hesitated slightly as he spoke.

Neil remained silent, though there was a shift in his eyes.

"So after some consideration, Lyse is indeed the most suitable heir out of everyone else. I'm not fond of Jasper Beckett, but I can't stop Lyse from loving him. Though Jasper isn't in the best position in his family, given he still has an elder brother who might undermine him at any given moment, he really is sincere toward Lyse.

"Jasper is meticulous in his thinking and takes decisive action. He reminds me of myself in my youth. If he really couldn't find footing in his family in the future, having him come through the backdoor and be a son-in-law would still be a great boon to KS Group and Lyse."

Winston had always been the kind to think things thoroughly prior to making a decision. He'd even paved out Jasper's future for him.

Neil smiled lightly, "You overthink, Mr. Taylor. Based on Mr. Jasper's capabilities, I don't think he'd be going through the backdoor. He's quite competent, and given his military background, I doubt he'd become a kept man …"

"I was just phrasing it out. It'd be good if Jasper could stand strong in his family, but if he can't, he can help Lyse buy out the Beckett Group. What a treat that would be!" Winston waggled his eyebrows. "Think of it as Alyssa's betrothal gift."

Neil was left speechless.

Outside the door, Alyssa ground her teeth together, muttering, "You're so bold, Winston. Why don't you make yourself emperor of the city already!"
