Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 495

Chapter 495 

“Thanks. Sorry for the trouble,” said Jasper. 

“Why did you suddenly think of hiking this year?” Xavier wondered. 

I go hiking every year,” Jasper answered flatly. 

When he was younger, he had once spent one summer volunteering at Crater Mountain Park to relieve his 

stress. 

Life was simple back then, consisting only of eating, sleeping, and hiking with Elijah to assist hikers or 

check for safety concerns. 

Such peaceful moments had been rare in his life. 

When he was appointed president of the Beckett Group, he’d make a hefty annual donation to the park, 

which was unknown to most except for himself and Elijah. 

“Mr. Beckett, did you catch Ada Kingsley’s wedding? Wow! Madam was incredible!” Xavier gushed with 

admiration. “How did she come up with the idea of using black roses as decorations? I’m surprised Adal 

agreed to it!” 

Jasper’s eyes narrowed as he whispered, “That’s because Alyssa is no ordinary woman. That little muffin 

always has a solution for everything.” 

That prompted Xavier to widen his eyes and stare at Jasper agape. Had he misheard? His boss had 

called Madam a little muffin. 

That was a rather abrupt departure from Jasper’s usual stoic manner, revealing his more affectionate side. 

As a result of Jasper and Newton’s involvement, Simon Lynch’s appointment to the Director of Legal 

Affairs position had been aborted. 

Simon, whose life was smooth sailing, tasted defeat for the first time. He took a month off traveling in 

Sedona for some headspace be ore coming home. 

At home, he bumped into Sean, who had waited for that moment for one week. 

“Well, well, if it isn’t Ms. Alyssa’s loyal labrador,” Simon remarked with a hint of mockery. “What brings you 

back home? I thought you’d be working your ass off for her.” 

“Don’t you have anything to inform me?” Sean confronted him, ignoring the taunt. 

“Sean, is this how you talk to your brother?” Simon was on the verge of exploding in anger, having bottled 

up his emotions for a while. 

*You assisted Sophia Kirkman last time, and now you’ve taken on Betty Beckett as your latest client. Your 

work ethic is certainly something, taking on all the dirty jobs you can.” Sean clenched his fists and 

sneered. 

“Sean Lynch!” 

“I know it’s your goal to be the pride of the family by reaching heights in your career, but you shouldn’t 

have achieved your goals by betrayal!” Sean growled in fury, “We wouldn’t be where we are today without 

the Taylors. You’re heartless for helping the Becketts go against Ms. Alyssa!” 

“Heartless? I’m doing it for the sake of our family!” Feeling aggrieved, Simon did not think he was in the 

wrong.
