Chapter 60
+15 BONOS
On the weekend, at the Solana Auction House.
A crowd of journalists gathered outside the venue. They had to wait outside to protect the privacy of the wealthy. Those who joined the event were genuine antique collectors and investment bankers.
They were here for business and not to seek media exposure like celebrities. They weren’t interested in interviews. They only focused on valuable treasures for auction–except for Sophia, Rosaline, and Liana.
Every year, Sophia would attend the event in her best attire. She would turn the high–end charity auction into a red carpet–moment for her. She would block the entrance and let the media take photos. She would only leave after being persuaded by the staff, looking disgruntled.
It seemed she feared people might forget she was the washed–up star who had climbed to a higher status by breaking up someone else’s family over two decades ago.
That led to Javier not attending the event personally for the past two years. Presumably, he felt it would tarnish his reputation.
However, Sophia decided not to repeat the same old act this year. After all, Rosaline had repeatedly begged her to give up this limelight and let her and Liana take the stage together. They were family. She couldn’t refuse despite her reluctance.
So this year, it was the Gardners who stood at the entrance and caught everyone’s attention.
“As representatives of the Gardner family, we hope to acquire exceptional collections in this auction and contribute to charity,” Rosaline said elegantly, putting on a classy demeanor as she spoke in front of the gathered journalists.
“Mrs. Gardner, how is the financial situation of the Gardner Group lately? We heard it’s on the verge of bankruptcy,” one reporter asked sharply.
“Has the investigation into Mr. Gardner’s case concluded? Will he be sentenced?” another one inquired.
“Is it true that your daughter and the president of the Beckett Group have broken up?”
Broken up? Those two words immediately caught Liana’s attention. She stepped forward. Then, she glared at the journalists, sending shivers down their spines.
“What break up? Where did you hear that?”
“Well… Miss Liana, there’s no need to be so nervous. We’re just asking,” one of the reporters replied. “After all, Mr. Beckett has yet to show any support as your fiancé regarding the Gardner Group’s issues. It’s natural for such speculation to arise.”
“We haven’t broken up! Don’t spread rumors!” Liana’s voice rose in agitation as she thought about how Jasper hadn’t approached her in
the past few days.
Rosaline quickly pulled Liana, who was losing her cool, aside and smiled at the cameras. “My daughter and Mr. Jasper are in a stable relationship. Please don’t think too much about it. As for the matters between the Gardner and Beckett families, they’re private. We’re not quite aware of the details.”
“Mr. Jasper is also present at the event today. Why didn’t he take a photo with Ms. Liana?”
“Wow, you’ve grown stronger. You seem quite sturdy,” he said, pinching Jasper’s narrow waist.
“Haha, you’re acting all serious, huh? What happened to the times you used to tickle me under the covers?” Landon stopped pinching his

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 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽...
