Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 756

Preston lounged on the couch, lazily peeling a tangerine he plucked from the fruit plate. "You know, I think Jasper Beckett should marry Zoe."

Cornelius' eyebrows shot up at the statement, and Zoe couldn't contain a quiet grin in Cornelius' arms.

"Sure, Jasper might be an out-of-wedlock son, which isn't ideal, but Justin Beckett is unwell. Sooner or later, the company will be Jasper's. If Zoe marries him, she'll inherit Beckett Group. Not a bad deal at all," Preston remarked, crossing his legs and stuffing a piece of fruit into his mouth.

"Uncle Preston, what are you even saying …" Zoe bit her lower lip and blushed.

"I've thought it over. We'll make an announcement saying that you've been dating Jasper for a while now, but we kept it private because we didn't want to take up the press space.

"Two single adults sharing a room is pretty normal, isn't it? Is there a need for public outrage? Look how badly they've scared Zoe," Preston added. He was in charge of entertainment and PR agencies and was no stranger to sensationalism and whitewashing tactics.

"That's so typical of you, Uncle Preston. All you're good at is bullshitting. You're such a great role model for the young," Landon said with a snicker and strode into the study with an intimidating air.

"L-Landon …" Zoe's heart sank as she buried herself in Cornelius' embrace.

Preston's smile froze on his face, and he crushed the tangerine in his hand. "Oh, Landon, looks like you're in a bad mood. Attacking your uncle just when you walked in, huh?"

"Landon, watch your attitude," Cornelius warned with fury.
