Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1222

At the mention of the good news, the guests cast looks of anticipation at Javier. A gleam flashed across his eyes as he turned to his son with a smile. "Jasper, come here."

Jasper felt his heart sink. He frowned at Alyssa and tightened his grip on her hand, reluctant to part ways with her.

She advised him, "Go. I'll be here waiting for you. I won't go anywhere."

They exchanged tender glances before she freed her hand from his grip. With no valid reason to refuse, Jasper made his way to his father under the watchful gaze of the onlookers.

In a rare occurrence, Javier flashed a warm smile at him and patted him on the shoulder. After that, Javier smiled and announced to the guests, "I will take advantage of the merry occasion to announce some good news in our family.

"My son, Jasper Beckett, will be engaged to Zoe Harper, the granddaughter of Cornelius Harper. The engagement ceremony will take place in this month."

The guests stared at him agape when they learned about Jasper and Zoe's engagement. Some of the guests turned toward Zoe, the future Mrs. Beckett.

At that moment, Zoe trembled so violently that it seemed like she was suffering from seizures. Her eyes shone with greed, and she teared up thinking about the effort she had put into reaching her goal.

God knew how long she had yearned for this moment and how much effort the Harpers had poured into persuading Javier to make her dream come true. This was the perfect chance to get back at Alyssa and make a joke of her.

All the humiliation and frustration Zoe suffered at the hands of Alyssa seemed to have disappeared at that moment.
