Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2073

There was silence.

Jasper felt the chilly night breeze at Bernardia blowing across his face. He had an intense look in his eyes, and he could feel his heart pounding.

Until today, he still had a glimmer of hope for Justin, who had once saved his life.

With his own eyes, he had witnessed how the Schmidt brothers tore at one another and fought to their deaths. He didn't want the same cruelty to replay within the Becketts.

"Jasper, I know that I'm unable to take care of myself because of my physical condition. Even so, I have always cared about Beckett Group. I think about Grandpa, Dad, you, and Lauren too."

Justin's tone of voice was full of sincerity. "Firstly, I didn't know you were blowing the issue up from behind the scenes. All I did was look at it from Beckett Group's perspective. My intention was simply to protect our family's interests.

"Secondly, even if I knew that you were the one behind all that, I don't think I would've done anything differently because everything I did was for Beckett Group's sake.

"Jasper..." Justin coughed. "I hope that you'll be able to understand where I'm coming from."

Upon hearing Justin's explanation, Jasper clenched his hands into fists. Deep down, he had mixed feelings.

…

After dinner, Jonah, Silas, and Liam chatted with Winston in the room. Liam had managed to squeeze time out of his busy schedule to make it for the wedding.

"Where's Axel?"

Winston paid attention to his sons' attendance, as if he was doing a roll call. He even teased, "Why is he trying to sulk at me even when we're at Mr. Landon and Ms. Lauren's wedding? He's not so petty and stubborn, is he?"

"Dad, Axel arrived some time ago. He even helped Landon with the decorations two days ago."

It was rare to see Silas siding with his foe. "But he went out first thing this morning. I asked him where he was going, but he didn't tell me."

"How about Cyrus? Why isn't he here either?" Winston frowned. "He's not chickening out because he can't bear to see the woman he likes getting married, is he? It's not like my son to be such a coward."

"You're underestimating Cyrus, Dad. He's already reconciled with Landon. He's let it go and moved on."

Jonah smiled slightly. "He's just swamped with work. He finally managed to apply for leave and is now on the plane. He'll be arriving tomorrow morning."
