Can't Win Me Back Chapter 60
On the weekend, at the Solana Auction House.A crowd of journalists gathered outside the venue. They had to wait outside to protect the privacy of the wealthy. Those who joined the event were genuine antique collectors and investment bankers. They were here for business and not to seek media exposure like celebrities. They weren't interested in interviews. They only focused on valuable treasures for auction—except for Sophia, Rosaline, and Liana.Every year, Sophia would attend the event in her best attire. She would turn the high-end charity auction into a red carpet-moment for her. She would block the entrance and let the media take photos. She would only leave after being persuaded by the staff, looking disgruntled.It seemed she feared people might forget she was the washed-up star who had climbed to a higher status by breaking up someone else's family over two decades ago.That led to Javier not attending the event personally for the past two years. Presumably, he felt it wo

Xavier covered his mouth. He almost choked on himself before holding back his laughter. Jasper felt a surge of resentment in his chest. He coldly responded, "I don't see a future with her, and we can never go back to the past. I won't do something so shameless." Without bothering to elaborate, Landon shrugged. He swiftly changed the topic, "Are there any items you want from today's auction?" "Yes, the Antique Rosewood Chair. I plan to buy it as a birthday gift for my grandfather." "You have good taste! I can help you secure it. If someone tries to compete with you, I'll find a way to convince them otherwise." "No need," Jasper calmly shook his head. "The auction is about charity. If the item is meant to be mine, it will be mine. I won't force something that isn't meant to be. That would take away the joy of the auction." The two entered the venue and walked straight to the first row reserved for VIPs. Only those from prominent families or elite individuals could sit th

Alyssa's words left everyone stunned. The others eyed Sophia oddly, one after another. They had no idea that the beautiful woman before them was Jasper's ex-wife. They only thought that Alyssa must be from a prestigious family with a background worth billions. She had such confidence to confront Javier Beckett's wife! Sophia was so infuriated that her body trembled. She sneered, "Look at you, Alice. You've changed now that you've found someone better to leech onto. I never realized you could be so eloquent in the past." Alyssa raised her eyebrows. She was completely indifferent to Sophia's mockery. "I treat others the way they treat me. I speak politely to those who are polite to me and straightforward to those who are rude. What does that have to do with leeching onto others?" Sophia's face turned red. She was completely frustrated. "Ms. White, my mom is your senior. How can you be so disrespectful?!" Betty immediately refuted after seeing her mother being humiliated.

Alyssa was always ready to break things off with Jasper. So she had to carry her marriage certificate. The marriage certificate had become a tool to expose the truth and reveal the misdeeds of these women! The Kirkman sisters had no way to refute it. After all, they were legally married now, so what could they say? They would only make things worse if they argued back. "Let everyone judge for themselves who is the other woman in this case!" With that, Alyssa put away the papers, turned around, and left amidst the shocked gazes of everyone, leaving Liana in place, feeling ashamed and furious! ... The auction would start in less than five minutes, and almost all the VIPs were seated. Sophia and Betty sat in the third row. When they entered, Betty's eyes were fixed on Landon. "He looks so handsome.""The security in the Harper family's charity event is very tight. They won't allow us to switch to the front row no matter how hard I try." Sophia was unhappy, but she added, "

Alyssa wasn't wearing a cumbersome evening gown. Instead, she chose a black suit of her own design. Adorning her chest was another masterpiece from the top jewelry designer, Alexa. It was a brooch made of yellow diamonds. She made a very spectacular entrance. Her fashion style was simple and distinctive. It effortlessly overshadowed the group of spoilt upper-class people. They were all pampered princesses. But Alyssa had always been a domineering queen! Liana couldn't take her eyes off Alyssa. She was resentful and bitter as she watched Alyssa become the center of attention. At this moment, two ladies beside her gasped as they looked at Alyssa. They began to chat. "Oh my goodness, who is this lady? She exudes such grace!" "She's still so young. Otherwise, I would've mistaken her for some successful businesswoman. Her presence outshines even the wealthy men here!" "Do you see that brooch on her chest? That's Alexa's legendary masterpiece, 'Ragnarok'! Someone offered a bi

Alyssa's round eyes turned cold. She gave Landon a deadpan look. Jasper noticed his indecent behavior, and his face turned dark! "How did I do just now?" Landon returned to Jasper's side with a grin, nudging his elbow."Great. I'll kill you if you try that again," Jasper replied with a chilling glint in his eyes. Landon felt hopeless as he said, "Why are you always picking on me? You're harder to deal with than all the hundreds of girlfriends I've had combined!" Soon, the first auction item was presented to the audience. It was a landscape painting from the 20th century. It was a simple brushwork painting that captured the essence of the scenery, truly a masterpiece. But, the artist wasn't famous, so the starting price was only one million dollars. Jasper's interest in antique artworks was limited. However, he had his fair share of knowledge since his grandfather and father were both avid collectors. He immediately recognized the painting upon seeing it. There was an id

Jasper scowled, and he pursed his lips. Since Alice could afford nine million, raising ten million wasn't a big deal. She stopped not because she couldn't afford it but because she gave up. It was obvious that she did it on purpose. But he couldn't say anything. After all, no one forced Liana to spend a fortune on the painting. It was all on her. Several more items were auctioned, and Alyssa remained composed. She didn't make any moves at the moment. Jasper's sole focus was getting the Antique Rosewood Chair, so he remained still. Next up was a pair of Antique Emerald Ornaments donated by Madam Sophia on behalf of the Beckett Group. The starting price was two million. Alyssa sneered and shook her head disdainfully. She would rather bid on the first painting replica than spend a large sum on those two useless stones. Anyone who would buy them was a fool. As expected, there were only a few bidders. The auctioneer tried hard to promote the items. But in the end, they were s

Jasper's heart belonged to someone else. There were times when he felt Alice was wasting her life and beauty being with him. His gaze wandered toward her and finally fell on her slender wrist. Sure enough, she was still wearing the bracelet his grandfather gave her. Even though it didn't match her outfit today, she couldn't bear to take it off. It was obvious she loved it. Jasper narrowed his eyes, and his heart was racing. The Georgian Sky-Blue Porcelain Chalices attracted intense bidding. The auctioneer was overwhelmed! "One million!" "Twenty-five million!" "Twenty-seven million!" "Forty million." Jasper elegantly raised his bidding paddle. He constantly called out the highest number in the whole room. Everyone was taken aback. Alyssa was also surprised and glanced at him inadvertently. This man didn't have a good eye for women, but his taste for antiques was pristine. Jasper noticed her gaze. His dark and amber eyes swept over, locking with her gaze. Immedi
