Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 266

Chapter 266

After nearly a week spent in the Investigative Bureau, Sophia finally walked out, heaving her tired body like a lump of sand. Without her makeup and skincare routine, she seemed to have aged an additional decade. Even her hair had more gray strands than before.

She avoided the crowd of reporters and decided not to go home first. Javier would probably pass out at the sight of her. So Betty accompanied her to a beauty parlor, where she could wash up, pluck away her gray hairs, and put on some makeup before going back.

“We’ll go see Liana first.” Sophia pluckedaway the hair around her lips as she spoke. “I have to check up on her. She’s my niece, after all. That way, your Dad’s image of me will maintain.”

She couldn’t have her carefully crafted

persona of twenty-five years crash just like that.

“I couldn’t believe she pulled such a trick,Mom!”Betty cried. She hated Liana. Yet, she couldn’t help but feel upset by the memory of that bloody bathtub.”Whether or not Jasper takes the bait, she still could have killed herself if no one found her in time!”

“Of course someone would have found herin time.” Sophia rolled her eyes.

Betty blinked, confused. Then, a look of understanding appeared on her face.”Does that mean … Did you know?”

Sophia pressed a finger to her lips. She had been the mastermin d behind Liana’s decision to cut herself so Jasper would marry her. It was this very trick she had used all those years ago that made Javier finally marry her. Without her schemes, she wouldn’t have made it to where she was today.

Plus, Liana did help Jasper when he was depressed. Reliving his nightmare of yonder days would surely remind him of how much Liana had helped him. It was a high-risk investment, for sure!

“Liana might not be the best choice, but Istill can’t let Jasper have any chance of going back to that whore, Alyssa Taylor!”Sophia couldn’t help but snarl at the thought of her after all these days spent suffering in the Bureau. “I swear I will make her life a living hell if it’s the last thing I do!”

“Yeah!”Betty yelled.”Solana City is stillour territory no matter what! We’ll get our revenge for sure!”
