Semua Bab Can't Win Me Back: Bab 551 - Bab 560

After Jasper was discharged from the hospital, he worked hard for three full days to clear the backlog of work that had piled up. Given his unstable health condition, he relied on supplements and Alyssa's prescribed medications to keep himself going.Apart from that, Xavier would apply the external creams and ointments daily onto Jasper's wounds. With all the effort, Jasper hoped he would recover soon. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to offer Alyssa any protection with his ailing body."Mr. Beckett, it's time to take your medication," Xavier announced as he brought the pills and a bottle of water on a tray. Jasper was in the midst of approving some documents and responded, "I'm busy now. Later.""Um, if you don't take your medications on time, I'll report it to Madam," Xavier declared. "She reached out to me that day and reminded me to make sure you take your medications on time. I'll need to report any issues to her right away. She'll be upset to learn that you're not listening."

Jasper fumed as Landon gloated. Green in envy, Jasper scoffed. "What's so special about that? It's normal to be invited, given the Harpers' social standing in Solana City.""So, given your family's social standing in Solana City, did you receive an invitation?""Don't we have anything better to talk about? If not, please leave," Jasper remarked. He had a short fuse when it came to anything related to Alyssa."Look at you! I'm fooling with you," Landon said. He stopped teasing Jasper, knowing he was upset about not receiving an invitation. Then, he produced another crumpled invitation card from his back pocket and explained, "Here. This is an invitation from the witch. "Isn't it a coincidence that she chooses to throw her birthday party on the same day as Lyla Nelson? Not only that, she's hosting it in Solana City. Is she turning this into a competition?"Jasper's brows furrowed in surprise. "What? Does Sophia share her birthday with Lyla?"Xavier chimed in, scratching his head

"Gosh, the goddess, Alexa, has graced my tiny studio with her presence! I am beyond honored to welcome you!" Rose teased Alyssa when the latter showed up.She had been impressed enough by Alyssa's elite family background and her identity as Sharon, the renowned fashion designer. To her surprise, Alyssa wore many more hats, including Alexa.Alexa was regarded as an icon of the jewelry design industry, akin to Sharon's status in the fashion world."Alright now. I'm wrong for hiding my identity from you. How can I make it up to you?" Alyssa mused and confidently wrapped an arm around Rose's waist."Well, do visit me often. Don't show up only when you have something to ask from me, okay?" Rose pouted sadly."You're making me out to be a player, and I'm not!" Alyssa playfully touched Rose's nose and sighed. "I'm swamped with work right now. But when things ease up, how about we plan a getaway abroad? I'll cover all the expenses!""Yay! You're the best!"…Alyssa had no time for tea

Jasper's heart thumped wildly as he tenderly gazed at Alyssa. He momentarily fell into a daze from the hurtful words she directed at him."M-Madam!" Rose gasped at Alyssa's unexpected presence, her face a mixture of emotions. She had so many questions for Alyssa, but she had no idea where to begin."Jasper Beckett, why are you here?" Alyssa wondered aloud. Jasper noticed that she seemed indifferent to him, as though they had never experienced the near-death incident at the mountain park. Her reaction stung, but he replied softly, "I've come to see you because I miss you.""Cut the crap. Do you even believe in what you just said?" She smirked, not believing in a word he said. He merely stood there speechlessly."Fine. You've seen her. Now, please leave," Rose angrily demanded her visitors to leave. Jasper had been involved with Liana earlier. Now that Liana was done for good, he immediately made a U-turn to win back Alyssa. Rose found him distasteful."I'm not leaving," he firm

"A family member I know is celebrating her birthday soon. I'd like Sharon to design a dress as a gift to that family," Jasper responded with a hint of discretion in his voice. He was keeping his surprise gift for Lyla a secret from Alyssa.Despite his good intentions, Alyssa took it the wrong way. She smirked at him and said, "Oh, right. I forgot that Her Royal Highness Mrs. Beckett is celebrating her birthday this weekend. I assume you're trying to win your dad's favor by sending her a gift. How considerate of you.""Alyssa Taylor," he warned her with a frown. He didn't mind a bit of teasing, but he didn't want to be misunderstood."When you contact Sharon, please don't mention that the dress is a birthday gift for Sophia Kirkman. I'm worried she might give you a good scolding," Alyssa retorted and angrily turned her back to him.Then, she added, "Are you finished? If you are, please leave. You're distracting me while I'm working—Ouch!" In a moment of distraction, she accidental
