Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
Chapter 1807

Back in their room, Jasper confided in Alyssa about Zoe and Betty.

He could have kept it secret, but respecting Alyssa's wishes for transparency, he opted for honesty. Keeping secrets would land him in trouble, and the thought of facing Alyssa's wrath was enough to deter him. After all, appeasing an angry Alyssa wouldn't be an easy feat. She might not even let him touch her for days or even weeks, and no words could describe this sort of misery.

Alyssa listened intently, her eyes narrowing dangerously. The look in her eyes was so intense that it would make anyone's heart race.

"Lauren has endured so much unfair treatment, and it's all because of her sister, Betty."

In the next second, Alyssa snatched up her teacup in a fit of anger and flung it across the room, shattering it into pieces.

Jasper's chest tightened. He took Alyssa's hand and examined it carefully. He then cradled it gently between his palms and comforted her. "Getting so worked up like this isn't good for your health. And hurting yourself over a piece of trash isn't worth it at all."

"I understand that every child is different, but it's as if Betty has some sort of genetic mutation. She's an abomination."

In her anger, Alyssa's sweet voice began to crack. "They share the same mother. How could siblings be so different? When Sophia forced her way into the family with her pregnancy, I'm sure Mr. Javier had a paternity test done. Is Betty really his daughter?"

Jasper's eyes clouded over. He replied softly, "Grandpa did order a paternity test that year. The results showed that Betty is indeed Javier's child."

"Haven't you seen it on TV shows? Paternity test results can be tampered with, and doctors can be bribed. Sophia getting away with murder for 20 years proves she's capable of hiding secrets about a paternity test."

Once Alyssa's mind started racing, it was hard to stop. Each thought seemed more horrifying than the last.

Maintaining a serious expression, Jasper slipped his fingers between Alyssa's collar and the back of her neck, massaging her gently.

It helped him to calm down.

He wasn't impatient or dismissive of her theory. In fact, he harbored a similar suspicion himself. He'd just been too busy with other issues to address it.

"Right now," he began, "we need to focus on how Betty teamed up with Harper Group to hurt Lauren." He wrapped his arm around her waist, caressing her gently. "What do you think, darling?"

"Taking care of Betty shouldn't be difficult, especially now that she doesn't have Sophia backing her up anymore," Alyssa said confidently. "The more trouble she makes, the quicker she'll meet her demise."

A small, menacing smile played on Alyssa's lips as she nestled closer to Jasper. "But we need a plan that safeguards us while we deal her a fatal blow."

"Just go ahead and execute your plan, Lyse. You don't have to take us Becketts into consideration. I'll deal with them." Jasper fixed his fiery gaze on her.

Alyssa shook her head slowly. "If Betty's dirt is revealed, the same thing that happened to the Schmidts will happen to your family.

"Even if I don't take you into consideration, I would still need to consider Grandpa Newton's feelings. After all, she is his granddaughter. Despite his disappointment, she's still family."

Family meant everything to Newton. Furthermore, he was of advanced age, and after witnessing Lauren's ordeal, he wouldn't be able to handle another blow.

"The ideal scenario is if she confesses on her own. But that won't happen without bait." Alyssa chuckled softly, a cold gleam in her eyes. "Right now, she thinks she's won. She's probably reveling in her victory. Let's give her a little surprise."
