Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1199

Jasper's eyes glistened. He wrinkled his eyebrows and said, "I don't want his filthy hands to touch my woman."

"But, have you thought of the consequences if you were to go over now?"

As a bystander, Landon could read the situation clearly. He wanted to help keep Jasper out of harm's way.

"The Jesseltons' purpose of having tonight's party is to select their business partner. Everyone wants to obtain that opportunity, including Mr. Taylor.

"If you were to go up and cause a scene, you might ruin Mr. Taylor's potential collaboration. Then, wouldn't Mr. Taylor hold a grudge against you?

"Lyse has mentioned before that her father is great at holding grudges. So, you'd better not bad-mouth him at this time. You might end up crushing your dreams!"

While he was hesitating, Alyssa smiled and replied, "Mr. Zeke, welcome to Solana City. As a sign of respect, please allow me to greet you according to your country's customs."

Upon saying that, she lowered her long lashes. Then, with her fair hands, she lifted the sides of her red evening gown and gave a steady and elegant curtsy.

All the men around her couldn't help but swoon, including Zeke.

All of a sudden, they felt as if they had traveled back in time to a palace ball during the Middle Ages. They were in a daze.

But only Alyssa knew the real reason. She didn't want to touch Zeke's hand.

She was well aware that Zeke was a wolf in sheep's clothing.

In Mosgravia, he was even more of a playboy than what Landon used to be. She guessed that the number of illegitimate children he had had was enough to form a soccer team.

She was germaphobic, and he was filthy.

Jasper seemed to read her mind, and that caused the corners of his lips to curl upward into a sweet and gentle smile.

Zeke still felt smug. He thought that Alyssa was interested in him, and he had a foolish arrogance in his eyes.

"On one hand, this party is to announce the upcoming business partnership. On the other hand, my son was hoping that both of us could have an opportunity to understand each other better. At the same time, he wanted to have a chance to get to know Ms. Alyssa better."
