Can't Win Me Back - Season 3 Episode 87

Betty was chatting with a few acquaintances at Liana’s birthday party.

“Congratulations, Betty. You’ll have a newsister-in-law soon,”Mabel remarked with a smile.

“More accurately, she’ll have a new sister-in-law ‘again,’” Jessica joked.”Anyway, new is

always better. I heard Ms. Gardner is the niece of Madam Sophia. You’ll be one big family

soon. I bet you all will get along brilliantly.”

Betty faked a smile.

“Get along? What a joke!”Betty scoffedinwardly.

“I was told that Ms. Gardner and Mr.

Beckett are childhood sweethearts who have gone through a lot. I believe she’s his true

love because he’s marrying her right after his divorce.

“Your brother’s really lucky in love. Whatabout you? When will you get yourself a boyfriend

and get hitched?”

Hearing that, Betty scanned the venue passionately in an attempt to locate Landon.

Landon was in the presidential suite with Jasper. Looking smart in their suits, they sat in

front of the gigantic glazed double doors overlooking the night view of Solana City.

Landon chose a co uture suit for the night, matching a white shirt with black pants. He

wore a black leather choker with a golden rose charm on his slender neck, looking regal

and sexy at the same time.

On the other hand, Jasper was dressed in an all-black ensemble. He matched his black

shirt with a black tie, just like the usual. The gold dragon lapel pin was the highlight of his

outfit, a symbol of his

great taste and the superiority of a leader.

“Good heavens.” Landon couldn’t holdback from commenting on Jasper’s outfit. “Look at

your outfit. People might thinkyou are attending a funeral.”

Frowning, Jasper joked, “You’re not any better in that white shirt.”

“I realized that God is indeed fair. Heblessed you with good looks but cursed you with a

mean mouth. It’s hard to be perfect.”

During the banter, Landon fixed his gaze on Jasper’s lapel pin. “Hm? This looks exquisite.

Can I borrow it later?”

Jasper’s eyes wavered before he turned down the request with a grim face. “No way.”

“Aw. We used to wear each other’s boxers.Why are you upset over a lapel pin now? You’re

more selfish when you’re older!”

Xavier showed up at that moment.”Mr.

Beckett, someone was sent by Ms. Gardner to remind us that the speech is about to start.

She wants you at the ballroom to join her for the speech.”

“I’m not going.”Jasper wore a deadpanlook in his eyes as he coldly turned down the

request.

“Okay!I’ll relay the message!” Xavier’sbrows were wiggling from the excitement. Oddly, he derived a lot of satisfaction from Jasper’s rejection of Liana.

“Um, she’s recently gone through arelapse and cut her wrists. Why would you trigger her

after she’s recovered? She might splatter blood all over you.”Landon narrowed his eyes

and mocked Jasper.

“I cannot share the stage with her tonight.”Jasper’s tone was unfeeling.

“Why? You are her boyfriend.”

“I’ve decided to break up with her.”

Landon appeared dumbstruck by the

sudden news. Similarly, Xavier was close to screaming in shock after hearing the update.

“I have not told her out of considerationfor her condition.”Jasper stared at the g round and

said in determination, “I’ll tell her when her condition has stabilized to minimize the shock.

After all, she was my savior.”

Blinking, Landon seemed to have noticed something huge. He inched closer. His face

loomed in front of Jasper’s eyes.

“Spit it out. Are you breaking up withLiana partly because you have fallen for Alyssa? Yes

or no?”

Jasper felt a sharp and suffocating pain in his chest. Finally, he squeezed out a reply, “No.”
