Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue novel Chapter 1421

"I'm surprised you've still got an appetite, Jasper. I wouldn't have any appetite at all if I were you." Silas chugged an entire cup of cold water. He slammed his cup on the table and said, "The hearing for Sophia's case officially begins next Friday."

Everyone hadn't seen Sophia in a long time. Their faces turned gloomy at the mention of her name.

"I know. I've been counting down the days."

Jasper twitched his eyebrow slightly. His voice was tense and hoarse. He was doing his utmost best to suppress the sharp pain in his heart.

"There hasn't been a day when I forgot how my mother died. I have not forgotten about seeking revenge on behalf of my mother and all the innocent lives that Sophia had claimed. Not for a single day."

Alyssa's heart raced. The tears in her eyes glistened slightly. Under the table, she reached over slowly for Jasper's hand. She held his hand tightly.

Jasper interlocked his fingers with hers immediately, as if he was grasping onto the only ray of light in the dark. He gazed deeply into her eyes.

"I was feeling curious a few days ago, so I went to find out about Sophia's situation at the detention center. She has made use of her identity as the wife of a tycoon to buy people off. She even has some followers. She has adapted well and is living a good life there.

"I heard that she is served special meals every day. She even has skincare products to use and cigarettes to smoke."

Cyrus clenched his teeth tight. He sniggered, "It looks like your father hasn't given up on Sophia completely. He's still covering for her, at least on the surface level. He should be intending to get her released."

Alyssa twitched her eyebrow. "She can use all the cosmetics and have all the special meals she likes. There's just one thing she won't be able to do without—her diapers."

"Javier is not my father." Jasper's eyes had become bloodshot. "Ever since my mother breathed her last, he's no longer been my father."

"Jasper…" Alyssa's chest felt tight.

"The reason I stayed at the Beckett Group all these years was because that was my mother's last wish. She hoped that I would no longer be oppressed. She wished for me to receive Javier's acknowledgment. She wanted me to succeed and to become the grandson that Grandpa is most proud of.

"After that, all I wanted was to supersede Justin. I put in all the effort to prove myself so that I can take control within the Beckett Group. However, this had absolutely nothing to do with them.
