Chapter 672
Josh leisurely sipped his red wine, his expression dripping with disdain. He commented, “Jimmy has always been a smart aleck. He doesn’t understand that trying too hard will backfire on him.
“While he might have pleased Alyssa with that gift, little does he know he’s pissed Dad off. Dad still holds
the power
David grinned and added, “Well, let Jimmy grovel at the Taylors’ feet and watch everything fall apart
around him!”
As expected, Victor’s expression soured. He clenched his jaw and shot a piercing look at Jameson. He was shocked to see Lily there with Jameson.
The emcee brought Jameson’s gift onto the stage, and everyone watched on with interest. Lyla looked at Winston with hesitation.
Winston put his arm around her waist and said, “He put in time and effort for this gift. Let’s take a look.”
Winston’s expression changed when he saw the gift, and his gaze silently turned to Jameson. The other guests exclaimed and praised the gift with an intensity that rivaled their surprise at Sharon’s design.
Alyssa frowned when she realized Jameson had bought Lyla a valuable marble sculpture from the
Victorian era.
It was an item so rare that it could have been showcased in a national museum. At auctions, it could
easily fetch a starting price of 30 million dollars.
The fact that Jameson had chosen this gift for Lyla, one that was more expensive than Victor’s, was a
clear provocation.
What made it worse was that Jameson and Lyla were not particularly close, likely having only met a few
times. It wasn’t a gift for Lyla. It was a thinly veiled attempt to curry favor with Winston.
Alyssa pressed her lips and shook her head gently. When she casually looked to the right, she was
shocked to find Jasper missing.
Her heart skipped a beat as she scanned the room for his presence.
“Madam Lyla,” Jameson greeted her in front of the stage, wearing a humble smile as he introduced his
gift.
“This is my birthday present for you-a marble sculpture from the Victorian era. I wish you good health
and happiness with Mr. Taylor.”
After a brief pause, Lyla beamed at him warmly. “Thank you, Mr. Schmidt. You didn’t have to give me such an extravagant gift. Your presence is more than enough.”
Winston chimed in with a joking tone, “Indeed. This is quite lavish, People might think it’s my birthday gift,
haha!”

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...
