Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue novel Chapter 1136

Chapter 1136 

Anger rose from within Alyssa as she clenched her fingers tight! 

She thought Max was being crafty with his words by twisting the truth. He was the one who had the intention to murder but was now attempting to push the blame onto Jasper. 

He was trying to stir things up to drive a wedge between Jasper and the Harper Group. He was trying to give Cornelius the confidence to stand up for him! 

“Jasper, this greatly affects the reputation of both our families. You shouldn’t take this as a joke!” 

Sophia made herself appear like the head of the family. She 

pretended to be concerned for him as if she were doing so for the 

benefit of all. 

In a concerned voice, she said, “We know that you have always felt like you owe it to Ms. Alyssa because of your divorce. When you realize that she met with an accident, it’s inevitable that you want to take revenge on her behalf …” 

… 

“Revenge? Mrs. Beckett, what made you say so?” 

Preston became more and more upset as he listened to her. 

He furrowed his eyebrows and questioned, “When did anyone in the Harper family ever wrong Mr. Beckett? Why does he have to take his revenge on one of us? Are we pushovers, or are we his punching bag? Don’t you dare cross the line!” 

Preston’s speech made the people on the Harper Group’s side feel outraged. They glared at Jasper with vicious looks in their eyes. 

“Oh, Mr. Preston, you’ve misunderstood. What sort of grudge could

Sophia raised the corner of her lips into a grin. She looked at Alyssa with a frosty gaze. 

“Alyssa is the one who has a grudge against you all. The entire 

Solana City knows that Alyssa and Zoe do not get along. They are the ones who do not see eye to eye. 

“When Alyssa met with the recent accident, and with Harper Group this close to winning the competition, I’m sure these made Alyssa unhappy. It is understandable that you, Jasper, were wanting to avenge her.” 

Everyone was startled! 

It had been obvious to them that Alyssa and Zoe were at 

loggerheads. However, had she made such a move to shift the blame onto Harper Group, all in the name of revenge? 

Winston’s expression was cold as ice. He pressed his pale lips into a straight line. 

He pondered over how despicable and shameless Sophia was. He felt that talking to or looking at a woman like her was him being disrespectful toward himself! 

Right when Jasper and Jonah were about to voice out, someone else spoke up first. 

“Sophia, I didn’t think that even after so many years, you are still as wild as before.” 

Despite being timid at most times, Lyla stepped out with her eyes gleaming. “20 years ago, you loved to cause trouble. 20 years later, you are still so malicious. Shame on you! 

“It’s too bad that you’ve picked the wrong target. Lyse is a person of

people in her life. She is well-known in Belbanks. She’s not someone whom you can defile and slander with mere words! 

“I am also not the same Lyla who would be trampled by you in the past. You may use that evil tongue of yours to insult and shame me. But don’t you dare repeat your old tricks and try to harm Lyse!” 

Everyone’s jaw dropped. 

Lyla was as they had heard. She was a gentle person, and those were probably the angriest words she had ever said in her entire life. 

The reason for her stepping up wasn’t because she wanted to stand up for herself. It was because she couldn’t bear to see Alyssa being oppressed by Sophia! 

“Lyla…” Alyssa choked. She was on the brink of tears. 

Sophia chuckled. “Lyla, when did I ever cause trouble for you? I don’t think that you should make false accusations against others.” 

Sophia gave a little shrug and acted all innocent. Even so, every word she said was hurtful. 

“Out of all that I have said, was there anything that was untrue? Back then, you were the one who didn’t abide by the right morals. Out of a moment of greed, you consumed illegal drugs and suffered from incontinence. As a result, your reputation was ruined. 

“Was there anyone who forced you into that? Was there anyone who harmed you? 

“If you were truly innocent, why didn’t you show any evidence to prove. your innocence when shit happened that year? Instead, you chose to disappear completely? 

“Today, do you think that times have changed because you are the high and mighty Lyla Taylor and have a child with Mr. Winston Taylor?
