Chapter 374
“Sophia is a calculative cunt. I’m concerned that they might try something against you. I wanted to give
you a heads-up so you can be prepared,” said Jasper.
Alyssa’s clear eyes flickered before she turned away.
“That’s all. I’ll leave you to your work now.” He shot her another loaded gaze before leaving.
“Wait, Jasper,” she suddenly called out to him. He felt his chest tighten as he swiftly turned back.
“Why did you tell me all of that? You’re the type to look at the big picture. Whoever from the Beckett
Group takes over the Ada Kingsley account will still boost the influence and reputation of Berenike Hotel.
It’s something you’ve been working on.” She threw him a quizzical look. “So, why did you tell me that?”
“Because I want you to win,” he responded with a genuine and innocent look in his eyes. It was a rarity
after his many years of hustling in business.
“And why do you want me to win?”
“You were once my wife-”
She cut him off with a scoff. “You never showed me any kindness when we were married. What’s all the
talk about gratitude after the divorce? Is this a joke? 2
“Leave, now. I won’t send you off.”
Defeated for the second time, he felt a lump in his chest, as though he had choked on the pastry.
At night, Betty showed up at the Harper Residence. Zoe had called Betty earlier that night, inviting the
latter to the Harper Residence to discuss urgent matters.
The ladies shuffled into Zoe’s private music studio and closed the door behind them.
“Zoe, why did you call me so late at night?” Betty sounded curious.
“It’s been five days since KS World announced their partnership with Ada Kingsley. Have you figured out a
way to knock out that Alyssa bitch?” Zoe crossed her arms and interrogated Betty.
Betty’s pride was challenged. Her temper flared because no one had ever talked to her with that attitude
at home.
She grumbled, “It’s only been five days. I’m not a superhuman, Zoe. It takes time to come up with a
“I was being rash. I didn’t know that the desserts meant so much to you. Sorry,” he apologized, knowing that he was in the wrong. Therefore, he was ready to take whatever she hurled at him.
Her lashes trembled briefly before she turned her back to him and washed her hands in the sink. She
remarked impatiently, “I thought you were here for work matters? Spit it out. As you can see, I don’t have
all day. You’re just causing trouble here.”
He choked and breathed heavily. “I am here to tell you that I’m no longer in charge of Ada Kingsley’s
wedding planning.”
Her hands paused under the flowing tap. She chuckled. “Well, of course. She’s already signed the deal
with KS World. The only thing you’re responsible for now is the controversy surrounding Berenike Hotel.”
Ignoring her taunts, he continued, “Javier has handed the responsibility over to Betty.”
Alyssa finally turned to face him, a frown on her face.

The readers' comments on the novel: Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
I am trying to figure out why an author writes one page and it is suppose to be a chapter and then the author gets the audience hooked on the story and just drags it on. Follow the rules please, and at least give the 7 chapters daily. Two chapters every other day is a waste of time. Or just release the book and give us the option to buy it....
Ughhh…can we get more pleeeease! I’m so into this book and literally check daily for updates but it’s only two pages at most. Can you at least do 4 pages a night 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽...
More chapters please the 7 chapters/day would be nice, TY...
Where can i download the remaining chapters?...
Why are we literally only getting one chapter a day?!? I mean can we at least get 4 or something? Irritating🙄...
Hello, more chapters please. It has been over 1 week since we have received 7 chapters. Thank you...
Just wonder what happened to publish 7 chap/day...
You upload shows 5/21/24 01:20, but I read these chapters 5/20/24 9:26. you can't go back with time only forward...

Time for this story to end it's getting boring and it's too long...
