Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue novel Chapter 306

Chapter 306 

Covered in a cold sweat, Sophia returned to the dining hall with a heavy heart. She couldn’t believe that Liana, whom she had groomed, had turned against her and threatened her. 

She was not afraid of Liana spilling the beans because there was no hard evidence that could incriminate her. 

Still, she noticed that Javier was not as crazy about her as before. Therefore, she was vigilant of any potential trouble that might affect her standing in the Beckett Family. 

“Javier, Lia is in the wrong, but she was a child who grew up in front of your eyes. You know what a nice and thoughtful kid she was. 

“Now that my sister is in prison, and my brother-in-law is in a coma, their family is in huge financial trouble. That poor thing is too scared to face the debtors at home. I feel sorry for this poor girl that I’ve raised.” 

Sophia clasped her dainty hand on the back of Javier’s stiffened hand. Tearing up, she argued, “Javier, you have always been forgiving and generous. 

“Why don’t we help Lia out of this rut? Think of it as charity. That way, we could claim we have done everything we can for her.” 

Javier’s brows relaxed a little. He seemed convinced by her words. 

They heard the sound of an item hitting the floor out of the blue. The couple appeared shocked while Betty almost choked on her food. 

Jasper, who had been silent, took out a recording pen from his inner jacket pocket and flung it at his father and stepmom. “Why don’t you listen to this before you decide on helping Liana?” 

Sophia’s heart hammered in her chest as she wondered what Jasper was up to. 

Javier picked up the pen with a puzzled look and pressed the play button. A recorded conversation between Curtis and Liana started playing. 

“Don’t do anything to Alyssa Taylor yet. Wait for my call. Things are looking up right now. I’ve gotten Jasper’s attention on me all over again. 

“He’s been by my side these past few days. Mr. Javier has promised the marriage will go on, too. The wedding should be any day now.” 

“Since you two are gonna marry, then that five million you promised-” 

“You lost your mind before she made any move and messed things up! Alyssa Taylor defeated you and Rosaline with the flick of a finger. How can I help her when there’s solid evidence of her crime?” 

Sophia seethed in resentment when all her efforts of raising Liana as her pawn went down the drain. She needed to cut her loss and sever her ties to the Gardners to avoid getting afflicted. 

“You can’t just sit back and do nothing! The debtors are knocking on my door every day. My dad’s in a coma. I could barely pay his hospital bills!” Liana shuddered at the thought of those ruthless debtors. 

She continued, “Can you at least pay off the debts for me? Just see it as a personal loan. I’ll pay you back when my family’s in a better situation.” 

“And what can you offer to pay your debts with?” Sophia was no longer patient with Liana because there was nothing she could gain from the latter. 

She smirked and said, “Your brother’s in jail, and your dad is in a coma. There’s no one at the helm of your family. 

“The Gardners are an empty shell. Even if I sell you off, I can’t pay your debts with that money. If I were you, I’d buy a ticket to Mosgravia and stay there for good. You are done for in this country. 

“Don’t you have a few lovers in Mosgravia? Why not ask them for help?” 

Sophia was clearly unwilling to be involved with her niece. She impatiently swatted Liana’s hand away to free herself from the burden.
