Chapter 441
There were no longer any new bidders for the time being. Alyssa was still pleased with the result, however.
“Seven million.”
A deep, sonorous voice rang out from behind her, making her expression fall.
The unexpected bid caught the crowd’s attention, prompting them to turn and identify the speaker swiftly.
Jasper was in the last row, his paddle raised high in the air. He exuded sheer confidence and stability among the gawking guests.
“It’s Jasper Beckett from the Beckett Group!”
“When did he get here? I didn’t see him at all tonight!”
“He’s so handsome …”
Jasper gazed steadily at Alyssa, his paddle never once lowering. But she never turned around.
Seven million, and she wouldn’t even spare him a glance. It looked like he would have to continue bidding.
“Seven million is a tad bit overpriced for this necklace,” Yves said, shaking her head. She disapproved of Jasper’s action. “Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.”
“At least it will help those orphanages,” Alyssa grumbled, cussing Jasper internally.
“Mr. Jasper, congratulations! The auction extends its gratitude for your generous donation!” The auctioneer’s gavel landed, igniting a wave of applause.
The cameras turned to Jasper, who gave a brisk nod and polite smile, nothing more.
A distance away, Jameson watched on, his eyes pure frost.
The auction went on smoothly as all pieces of jewelry were bid successfully at high prices. Even Sophia got herself one just to show off.
But what got Alyssa incredibly angry was the fact that Jasper would always step in at the last second whenever a piece wasn’t faring so well, only to bid with an outrageously overpriced amount.
He had gotten three pieces in a single hour at the cost of thirty-something-million dollars! Alyssa had to do all she could not to get security to escort him out right away!
Just then, Jasper bid another piece of jewelry, inviting the crowd to gossip among themselves.
“Is that really worth four million? Why does it seem like Jasper Beckett doesn’t quite have the right taste for jewelry?”
“Hey, he’s hot, and he’s rich. I can tolerate some dumbness.”
“Dumb your ass! Didn’t you notice he’s bidding for all the less-high-grade pieces? He’s clearly going specifically for them. Even an individual with questionable taste wouldn’t choose all of them consistently!”
“Really? Then that means…”
“He’s bidding for the cheaper ones to save Ms. Alyssa’s auction and add more value! What a man!”
Zoe stared angrily at Jasper, rage tearing at her from within when she saw how devoted he was to Alyssa. Alyssa’s outright refusal of Jasper’s gestures felt like a humiliation to her own desire to be treated the
same.
“What a man!” Some other guests agreed with Jasper’s actions.

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🙄...
