Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 491

Chapter 491 

After offering some health advice to Newton, Alyssa left the room. Jasper wasted no time and quickly caught up to her. He said curtly, “I’ll send you home.” 

Alyssa had held back from lashing out at Jasper in front of Newton. Now, she finally exploded and 

jumped back while pointing a finger at his face. 

She yelled, “Naw!” 

Jasper was a little confused by the sound she made. 

She pursed her lips awkwardly. It appeared she had accidentally uttered “no” with an accent, but the meaning was clear. 

“I don’t need your help. I’m an adult who knows my way home!” 

“It’s late at night. I’ll see you home,” insisted Jasper, who took a step forward. 

Alyssa’s anger flared as she recalled how Jasper had pulled her into a hug earlier. 

She seethed and dusted her shoulders, confronting him, “I didn’t lash out at you not because I condoned your behavior. I did it for Grandpa’s sake. Don’t take a mile when I give you an inch! 

“I’m already pissed at Simon and Betty, and I’d take it out on anything that crosses my path. Come any closer, and I’ll give you a piece of my mind.” 

She thought she sounded authoritative, but Jasper thought she was being hilarious. 

“Let me know if Simon becomes a bother. I’ll handle him for you,” he whispered. 

“No, thanks! That’s between the Taylors and Lynches. You should stay out of it and mind your own 

business!” 

Her words carried a tinge of bitterness. She was reminded of how Jasper had humiliated Simon in front 

of the Becketts to defend her. 

On second thought, Jasper’s actions were likely driven by his own interests. Alyssa had noticed that 

Javier seemed keen on hiring Simon for a role within the Beckett Group. 

With Simon as their legal counsel, he would become a valuable asset to Javier’s team, much to Jasper’s 

disadvantage. 

This realization prompted a smirk from her.

Just as Jasper was about to approach her, he was stopped by a stern voice coming from behind. 

“Jasper!” 

He knitted his brows and turned around to see Javier shuffling up to him. Javier ordered, “Come to the 

study. i need to have a talk with you.” 

“Later. I’ll send Ms. Alyssa home,” replied Jasper coolly without giving in. 

“Hah, she doesn’t need your help. She’s already left!” 

Jasper spun around, flabbergasted. 

That slick woman was nowhere to be seen. 

Alyssa wandered out of Seaview Manor with a flat expression. 

“Ms. Alyssa.” 

She stopped in her tracks and watched coldly as Simon approached her. He looked amused. 

“I don’t care if you are happy with the outcome or not. I helped free Ms. Betty. It’s not embarrassing to lose to me, you know.” 

“Indeed, when I reflect upon it, I’ve come to realize that I’ve gained something valuable from all this,” Alyssa responded with a mocking tone instead of succumbing to anger. 

She continued, “I finally saw your true colors from Betty’s case. I’ve encountered my fair share of ungrateful individuals, but you, Simon, may just be one of the worst. 

“I wonder if Uncle Spencer will feel any sense of shame when he discovers that his proudest son’s greatest ambition is to serve corporate interests and go against his own benefactor?” 

Simon’s smile froze, and his expression fell. “Ms. Alyssa, I am nice to you because you’re Mr. Taylor’s daughter. You have crossed a line by repeatedly challenging me. Do you think you’re invincible just because you are the daughter of a tycoon?” 

“Thank you for the reminder. I am indeed the daughter of a tycoon, and I fully intend to exercise the privileges that come with it. Why wouldn’t I leverage my superior status?” 2 

Her eyes squinted dangerously, and her smile took on a more sinister edge. 

“Before you decide to work against me, I suggest you carefully consider my background and the extent of my influence. I have a far shorter fuse than my father.” After delivering the warning, she was gone with the 

Watching the departure of that charming woman, Simon seethed with resentment. 

He thought to himself that he wasn’t like his incompetent brother, Sean. 

While Sean might be willing to grovel at her feet, he would never do that. He had no intention of being 

under her thumb and wanted to see how the situation would unfold.
