Semua Bab Can't Win Me Back: Bab 671 - Bab 680

A thunderous applause broke out in the hall. One guest commented, "Mr. Taylor might not have bought a property or jewelry for his wife, but he generously donated five million dollars to her charity foundation. That shows how much he cares about her.""Mr. Taylor's gift is creative and meaningful, unlike the other husbands who always buy their wives the same gifts. "This not only elevates Lyla's stature but also builds a positive image for the Taylor family. It's a win-win solution."Newton, Victor, and Jonah were seated together at the same table just below the stage.Victor grumbled under his breath, "What's that guy using to maintain his youthful appearance?" He turned to Jonah and inquired, "Jonah, what's your dad's skincare like? He's aging backward. Just tell me."Jonah offered a humble smile. "He probably uses some makeup."Victor and Winston had been silently competing against each other for decades."Oh, where did he hire his makeup artist from? That's a pretty natu

Alyssa couldn't help but sit up straight, her heart pounding as she fixed her gaze on the stage.Miley instantly picked up on the change in Alyssa's behavior as they were seated next to each other. The look in her eyes deepened.All eyes in the room shifted from Jameson to the stage.Underneath the stage, Newton gleefully patted Jonah and Victor, who were seated beside him. "Heh heh! It's time for my grandson's gift!"Newton was confident that Jasper wouldn't let Jameson steal the limelight with an inferior gift. "By the way, Victor, judging from your son's behavior … Is he interested in Alice?" Newton wondered curiously with an arched brow."Alice?""Ah, sorry. It's Alyssa's nickname. I'm used to calling her that," Newton explained. He hadn't shaken off the habit.Victor pursed his lips with an unreadable expression on his face. He remarked, "Jimmy, my fourth son, has been living abroad without my supervision for a long time. I have no idea what's on his mind.""Don't you th

It was impossible not to be moved by Jasper's efforts.Winston was incredibly touched by Jasper's explanation, and he no longer treated Jasper with hostility. "Jasper, thank you. I can see your effort and sincerity in the gift. You must have gone through a lot of trouble for this.""Mr. Taylor, you're most welcome," Jasper replied with calm, but his heart was drumming in joy as he clenched his fists. Winston had finally called him by his first name!He felt as though he had finally gained the approval of an in-law after years of taunting for his relationship with Alyssa. He might even lose sleep over this milestone.In contrast, Jameson wrestled with anger when he witnessed Jasper's triumph and Winston's praise. He couldn't believe he had lost to Jasper in this round, despite all his careful planning. It was a bitter defeat.With a smile, Jasper announced, "I have another gift for Madam Lyla. It's a joint gesture from me and my grandfather. On behalf of Beckett Group, we will cont

Holding Alyssa's hand, Jasper rushed down the opulent yet deserted corridor, like two young aristocrats who were defying societal rules and eloping.Her gaze was fixed on his broad back, which provided her with a sense of security. Her chest heaved, and her palms grew sweaty.She had to admit that she felt a little attracted to him. At the same time, she berated herself for still having feelings for him over mere hand-holding, after having fallen in love with him twice, 13 years and three years ago, respectively.She felt rather indignant for being weak when it came to Jasper.In contrast, he appeared to be in high spirits, jogging alongside her until they reached the door of a luxurious suite.A surge of panic and embarrassment washed over her. In anger, she yanked her hand from his grasp and hissed, "What is this? How dare you disrespect me on my turf? You know I could always get my brothers to beat you up right now."He paused in surprise. Realizing she had misunderstood his i

"I don't know how to dance … I'll skip," Lauren excused herself. She had been sipping juice and enjoying cake on the couch until Landon had suddenly invited her to dance.Having watched her parents and Betty dance before, Lauren felt that dancing wasn't something she could do. Besides, she believed she would never have a chance to be in the spotlight anyway."It's alright if you don't know. I can teach you, Lauren," Landon reassured her, placing his hands on her shoulders.She hung her head low, a tiny patch of cream at the corner of her lips. She mumbled, "I'm not dancing, Landon. They all dance well. "I would only embarrass you because I don't know how to dance. Besides, I don't like crowded places. I panic when there are too many people around."Landon was shocked and upset. Lauren's second excuse was the real reason behind her refusal to dance. Despite his attentiveness, he had let his excitement get the better of him, forgetting that she suffered from autism and social pho
