Can't Win Me Back

In the past, Alyssa was smart yet innocent to the ways of the world, smooth and cunning but still retained her naivety. She was always cherished by the Taylor family and never bothered to resort to such schemes.

However, after marrying into the Beckett family and leaving Jasper, her mind was corrupted with conspiracies and schemes. She remembered when the “Crimson Heart” necklace was brought on stage and how broken Jasper looked. At that moment, she felt like she had gone too far.

In reality, she could have simply ignored the necklace. There was no need to humiliate Jasper at the auction to this extent. But she couldn’t let it go.

It wasn’t that she was resentful because of the divorce from Jasper. She had come to terms with the fact that the love she had pursued for thirteen years was dead.

Her unwillingness stemmed from Jasper’s foolishness. Why couldn’t he see the truth about the person he loved? She silently swore she would never meddle in their relationship again. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Alyssa felt a sharp pang in her heart and smiled bitterly. This would be the last time; she would no longer get involved in Jasper and Liana’s mess.

Suddenly, the restroom door was kicked open with a loud bang. Alyssa remained composed as she glanced coldly at the intruder.

It was Liana.

She lifted her heavy dress with raging anger and charged toward Alyssa.

“Alice! You wretched woman!”

“Is your vocabulary still so limited after three years of openly and privately insulting me?” Alyssa retorted coldly. She wasn’t in the slightest irked by her insults.

“It must be you! You’re the one who put the necklace Jasper gave me in the auction! How despicable!”

Liana took another step forward but tripped over her skirt. She almost fell.

She was caught off guard momentarily. And her face turned beet red.

“I donated the necklace for charity. What are you talking about? Liana, you really shouldn’t point your fingers at others.” Alyssa took a step back, afraid that Liana might pounce on her.

She was such a bother. Alyssa feared she might have to get a rabies vaccine.

“Alice! You resort to such lowly methods to humiliate me and Jasper because you can’t win him over! You’re trying to ruin our relationship! Do you think this would work? Jasper would never fall

“You didn’t want the necklace anymore. You sold it to a pawn shop. So, it’s no longer yours. You have no say in who buys it or how they handle it. If you’re angry, it’s your own doing. Don’t blame

others.”

Alyssa looked away. She was no longer interested in wasting words with Liana, and tried to leave.

She wouldn’t even spare a glance for such a despicable and hypocritical woman. If it weren’t for Jasper, she would’ve never crossed paths with Liana.

“Stop right there, you wretch! Get back here!” Liana’s anger surged. She grabbed Alyssa’s delicate wrist and pulled hard.

Alyssa felt a sharp pain and furrowed her brow. Then, Liana forcefully took off the bracelet Mr. Beckett Senior gave her. It left a bright red mark on her fair wrist.

“Give it back!” Alyssa was outraged. She glared at her fiercely.

Liana clenched the bracelet in her hand. She fell in love with this bracelet the moment she saw it. But that old man had to give it to the person she hated most!

“Alice, you’ve taken what belongs to me, you shameless whore! Since I can’t have it, don’t even think about having it either!” Liana sneered and slammed the bracelet on the marble sink.

“No!”

A cracking sound pierced Alyssa’s heart. The emerald bracelet that Newton had given her shattered into pieces!
