Jasper scowled, and he pursed his lips.
Since Alice could afford nine million, raising ten million wasn't a big deal. She stopped not because she couldn't afford it but because she gave up.
It was obvious that she did it on purpose. But he couldn't say anything. After all, no one forced Liana to spend a fortune on the painting. It was all on her.
Several more items were auctioned, and Alyssa remained composed. She didn't make any moves at the moment.
Jasper's sole focus was getting the Antique Rosewood Chair, so he remained still.
Next up was a pair of Antique Emerald Ornaments donated by Madam Sophia on behalf of the Beckett Group. The starting price was two million.
Alyssa sneered and shook her head disdainfully. She would rather bid on the first painting replica than spend a large sum on those two useless stones. Anyone who would buy them was a fool.
As expected, there were only a few bidders. The auctioneer tried hard to promote the items. But in the end, they were sold for 2.6 million.
Sophia's smile gradually faded. At least it was more than 2.5 million.
Jasper, on the other hand, remained indifferent. Whatever Sophia did, it would only damage Javier's reputation. Jasper would remain unaffected in any situation, but Sophia and Javier were one as husband and wife.
"The KS Group donated a pair of Georgian Sky-Blue Porcelain Chalices, courtesy of Ms.Mandy!"
The excitement of all the collectors in the audience was instantly aroused! Alyssa was also shocked and turned around to look frantically at the back. Finally, she spotted Mandy's elegant figure.
She quickly sent a nervous text to Sean. "Why is Aunt Mandy here? Why didn't you tell me?"
Sean replied, "I just found out too, Ms. Alyssa. Maybe it was a last-minute decision by Mr. Taylor."
Sophia's face turned red with embarrassment and discomfort. The contrast between her and Mandy's collection was like heaven and earth. It made her look disgraceful.
Jasper's dark eyes finally showed a hint of interest as the auction progressed. He fiddled with the bidding paddle in his hands.
"The porcelain is flawless and translucent. It is indeed of good quality. Behind every cloud is a silver lining. The sky-blue color represents a promising future after dark times."
Jasper couldn't help but glance at Alyssa with surprise when he heard her recite the phrase.
Alyssa was immersed in the charm of the antiques. Her skin was fair and delicate, and the light enhanced her elegant and graceful features. It made her look incredibly beautiful, enough to take anyone's breath away.
She was stunning, but he never once noticed her beauty.

The readers' comments on the novel: Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
seems to have come to a halt useless...
Where are the chapters please ? Over a week no updates....
Just tell me where to purchase the book I definitely will buy it...
Need more chapters please...
It’s dwindled down to 1 page a day??...
7 chapters a day would be great...
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?...
