Can’t Win Me Back

Chapter 13

“Lia?” Jasper said, calming himself down.

“Help me, Jasper!” Liana pleaded for help through her sobs. “I’m being surrounded by reporters at Beckett Group … I’m scared!”

“I’m coming downstairs!” Jasper grabbed his coat and left without a second thought.

“No, Mr. Jasper!” Xavier stopped him in his tracks. “You should have security head downstairs to escort her instead. You’ll be mobbed by the reporters if you go!”

Jasper’s expression turned somber, and there was not a lick of hesitation as he rushed out the door.

“When will the wedding between you and Mr. Beckett be scheduled, Ms. Gardner?”

“The exposé claims that you and Mr. Beckett are childhood sweethearts. Did you two meet many years ago?”

“What are your opinions on Mr. Beckett’s ex–wife? Is it true that his ex–wife interfered in your relationship?”

The reporters were shoving their cameras into Liana’s face. Despite there being bodyguards on- site, the situation was still chaotic. The woman played up her meek and weak facade despite being secretly thrilled. She was the one who broke the news of the wedding to the media. The rumor claiming Alice to be a mistress was also her doing. “How dare that bitch humiliate me and claim my bracelet for herself?” she thought. Liana wanted Alice branded as a mistress and paraded as a social pariah!

“Thank you, everyone, for your concern. Mr. Beckett and I will be sure to notify everyone once we have news to share.” She gave the cameras a comely smile. “As for Mr. Beckett’s ex–wife … I know very little about Ms. White. Please don’t attack her. She and Mr. Beckett are no longer together. Let her live in peace.”
