Can't Win Me Back

Alyssa, Sean, and Tatiana arrived at the former’s private villa around four in the morning.

Having been worried about her sister, Tatiana had forced herself to stay awake. Her tired, bloodshot eyes were a somber sight.

“Don’t blame yourself anymore, Taty. I’mreally okay. Don’t you have a class in the morning? Go and get some sleep,” Alyssa said, hugging her sister. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

“Am I useless?” Tatiana mumbled, tearswelling up in her eyes.

She continued, You’ve always protected me since I was a kid, yet now that I’m older,I can’t do anything to protect you in return…”

“Silly girl.”Alyssa gently tapped herforehead.”Our family is better because of

you and your mother. We love taking care of you and watching you grow.

“If you really want to do something forme, then pursue your dreams and never give up. When you make it big in the world of celebrities, I plan to make you an ambassador for my business. What do you think?”

“I will realize my dreams, Alyssa. You cancount on me!” Tatiana said, wiping away her tears.

Later, she cleaned up and went to bed to rest. Alyssa tucked her in and bi d her goodnight before exiting the room.

Sean was already waiting for her in the study.

“Any findings on why Liana washospitalized?”The gentleness in Alyssa’s eyes had swiftly turned to a keen, alert stillness.

“Yes. She attempted suicide by slitting herwrists. She has made it past the critical

hour,” Sean replied, narrowing his eyes before adding,”with Jasper Beckett’s supervision.”

“Of course. He’d remain by her side evenif he died and had become a ghost.”Alyssa scowled.

“What do you think about Liana’s actions,Ms. Alyssa?”

“It’s the funniest joke I’ve heard this year.”Alyss a massaged her temples.

Then, she added, “She hasn’t had a taste of being Mrs. Beckett yet, nor has she killed me. She wouldn’t die so soon. Plus, if she genuinely wanted to kill herself, she would have made sure no one found her.”

“So you mean to say she’s using this toforce Jasper’s hand?” Sean frowned.”But why such a risky move? Isn’t their wedding date right around the corner? Is it possible that Jasper has changed his mind about the marriage?”

Irritation welled up in Alyssa’s chest.”

Who knows? He might already have his eyes on some other woman as we speak. I already fell victim. I wouldn’t be surprised if Liana is next.”

Jasper chickening out and betraying his women wasn’t an unexpected occurrence anymore.

“You have a point. I still wish they couldproceed with the marriage. They truly deserve each other.” Sean wrinkled his nose at that. “That way, they won’t hurt other poor souls!”

He then asked, “Ms. Alyssa, who do you think sent that masked man earlier? I don’t think Sophia Kirkman did. Mr. Silas is still interrogating her, so she shouldn’t be able to arrange something like this in secret.”

“That man is local.”Alyssa’s gazedarkened.”He’s trained too. He is most likely a kickboxer from the underground rings. He had no particular set of skills, just quick to aim for the kill.

“Sophia wouldn’t have had the time, andBetty would never get herself involved with someone like that. Only Liana would be capable.

“Silas found out about her history inMosgravia before. She has slept with countless people over the years. I wouldn’t be surprised if she had been with that dimwit meat sack.”

Sean was taken ab ack by how logical Alyssa’s deduction was.

“As for why he came after me—there’s nopoint in guessing. We might as well go and ask him.”Alyssa stood up.”By the way, you didn’t say anything to Jonah, right?”

Sean sighed. “No, Ms. Alyssa. I can’t disobey your direct orders.”

“Oh, good then.”

Just then, Alyssa’s phone rang. The caller ID read, “Big Bro.”

Alyssa bit her lip, gingerly handing her

phone to Sean. She could almost hear her brother’s wrath even without answering his call.

Sean couldn’t avoid answering, so he did.”Sir.”

“Pass the phone to Alyssa.”

Beside Sean, Alyssa’s eye twitched nervously.
