Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1648

Jasper and Alyssa took action separately. Jasper helped Neil take care of Winston while Alyssa gathered all the company directors aside from Dominic in a separate room to talk to them.

After all, this was something only Alyssa, the future heiress of KS Group and daughter of the Taylor family, was entitled to do.

The atmosphere in the room wasn't the best right now. The directors were continually grumbling and discussing amongst themselves.

These directors were prominent figures in Belbanks' business world who owned shares in KS Group. All of them had known Winston for more than two decades. They obeyed and followed Winston's directions without complaint solely because he could help them earn a lot of money.

But what about Alyssa? As much as Winston doted on her, she was still an immature young woman. If anyone were to rise from the Taylor family, it had to be Jonah, who was the CEO of the company. So why was Alyssa rising to the occasion?

Sean had rushed over to Alyssa's side at her beck and call the instant he got wind of what transpired at the company. The two stood side by side as if returning to their old dynamic duo.

Alyssa sat at the head of the conference table, coldly observing all the old men around the table.

Sean angrily ground his teeth when he saw how disrespectful the directors were being toward Alyssa. "Ms. Alyssa, these old quacks are so annoying!"

Alyssa's eyes darkened before she said loudly, "Could I have a moment to speak?"

The directors continued bickering amongst themselves, ignoring her.

Alyssa's patience was already thin, given how worried she was for her father's illness. This was the last straw.

She raised her hand and heavily slammed it thrice on the conference desk.

All the directors jolted in shock at the loud noise.

"What is the meaning of this, Ms. Alyssa? Why did you call us here?"

"Yeah. We're very busy men with things to do!"

"I'm sure all of you know just how important KS Group is to my father. His every movement, including something as small as a headache, can affect the company's market value and reputation. Naturally, it affects all your benefits as shareholders," Alyssa said.

With a smirk, she gently veered the conversation a different way. "If I may be frank, I'm sure you're all incredibly happy with just how much profit you've earned while supporting my father. You're all reputable businessmen. I'm sure you wouldn't disgrace yourselves by biting the hand that feeds you, yes?"

The room was dead silent. Alyssa's words could not be clearer. It was an implied warning to certain unsatisfied parties.

"We understand what you're trying to say, Ms. Alyssa. We're concerned for both Mr. Taylor and the company's benefit. There's no way we'd do anything to harm the company. We'd be jeopardizing ourselves in that case!" one of the directors piped up to ease the tension.

Everyone else affirmed the sentiment.

"Yes, I know none of you would ever do that," Alyssa said, leaning forward and crossing her fingers together. "But I am a businessman, just like my father. We judge by actions, not words."

Alyssa then shot Sean a look.
