Chapter 83
That night, the Taylor siblings left Solana City and returned to Belbanks.
The cities weren’t that far from each other. It only took the siblings less than two hours to reach. Belbanks via the highway.
Solana City was the country’s economic center. It was rich in resources.
It was a great place for businesses to expand and develop, so countless companies competed for a spot there.
However, Belbanks was an entirely different story. Over the past century, the Taylors were the only ones dominating the city.
The Taylor family’s businesses gave one–third of the Bellbanks population their jobs. Hence, the family was known as the Ruler of Belbanks.
It could be said that Belbanks would remain a small ordinary town without the Taylors‘ influence. After all, they were the ones who brought about such a massive change in the city’s economy.
Soon, the siblings arrived at Stellus.
“Oh, Ms. Alyssa! When did you return to this city?”
Don Blackwell, the elderly groundskeeper of Stellus, welcomed the Taylor siblings happily. He
was the youngest son of Winston’s nanny. They were childhood friends who were extremely close
to each other.
Don wasn’t an ambitious man at all. He wasn’t interested in living a life of luxury. He also chose to
remain single and child–free.
Stellus was his only priority in life, and he spent his days working on the gems. Life was very

Alyssa pursed her lips before fishing a vintage accessory bag out of her bag. Then she retrieved
the shards of an emerald bracelet from within.
“Oh my! That emerald came from an ore of great quality. It’s difficult to find such a great ore even
if I have to crack open a thousand ores. What a shame.” Don had always been a gem enthusiast, so
he couldn’t help but feel heartbroken when he saw the shards.
“I know it’s hard to get such a great–quality ore, but I’d still like to try. How many uncracked ores
do you have left?” Alyssa asked.
“About 500, give or take.”
Stellus was known for its natural and untainted beauty, which could inspire the masses. Herman Fowler, an expert in hardstone carving, had set his sights on it.

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....
