Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue novel Chapter 486

Chapter 486 

Anyone could tell that Newton was being sarcastic. He was doubting Simon’s integrity. 

Jasper couldn’t hold back a grin while Javier and Sophia put on sour faces. 

“Sir!” Ben hurried over and announced courteously, “Ms. Alyssa is here!” 

Jasper’s heart sank, and his eyes faltered. Everyone shot complicated glances at the door. 

Alyssa’s high heels clicked sharply, echoing in Jasper’s heart. She walked alone into the compound, her 

confident and regal air making it seem like her first visit despite her three years of living there. 

Jasper fell into a daze, feeling as though they were still married. 

“Grandpa, I’m here!” Beaming, she approached Newton with bright eyes. She did not pause for a second 

as she brushed past Jasper, treating him like a stranger. 

He felt suffocated as his fingers curled into a fist. His heart skipped a beat and sank. After the divorce, 

every time he crossed paths with her was like torture. 

“Alyssa …” Betty glowered at Alyssa, ready to lash out, only to be reined in by Sophia. 

“Oh, isn’t this Simon? What a small world!” Alyssa paused when she passed Simon and grinned at him. 

Simon looked startled, just like the others. Everyone wondered about the nature of their relationship, 

seeing how they were on a first-name basis. 

“Ms. Alyssa. It’s been a while,” replied Simon with a forced smile as he addressed her politely. 

“Right? You haven’t visited Dad for five years or so. He thought about you recently,” she remarked, “We’re old family friends. Uncle Spencer always brought you and Sean to visit us when I was a kid. But we grew distant over the years.” 

Then, she turned her gaze onto Javier’s shocked face and stated, “Mr. Beckett, you probably had no idea about this, but Uncle Spencer and his three sons have always been very welcome at our home. 

“After Uncle Spencer retired, he briefly served as the Director of Legal Affairs of KS Group, although not many people knew because he kept a low profile.” 

Simon struggled to maintain his composure. His cheeks burned in shame. Alyssa sounded unbothered, but every single one of her remarks was aimed at him. 

He was reluctant to reveal that his family was indebted to the Taylors. Deep down, he acknowledged that he owed much of his current success to their financial support. 

He had to break free from the Taylors’ influence to build a name for himself and grow his career. 

“I never knew that Mr. Lynch had a close connection to the Taylor Family,” mused Newton.
