Can’t Win Me Back

Alyssa and Jasper had dinner at Newton’s place. Landon and Lauren were with them, too. They chatted happily and enjoyed each other’s company.

The helpers cleared the dining table after they were done with dinner.

Then, Landon asked Angelina to retrieve a thick stack of documents from a briefcase. He laid out the documents before Newton with the others as his witnesses.

He filled the round table with his written proof of his ascendancy. It was as if he was trying to decorate the entire table. Yet, these were only the tip of the iceberg.

Alyssa was someone used to extravagant spectacles. His title deeds alone were thick enough to make her gasp in wonder.

“There’s nothing to be envious about.” Jasper smiled. He interlocked his fingers with hers under the table. In a soft and low voice, he said, “| have whatever he has, too. | own no less than him.”

“Well, even with the both of you combined, what you own is still less than ten percent of Winston’s. There’s nothing for me to be envious about.”

Through her words, Alyssa expressed that she was unbothered. However, her soft gaze showed that she was thrilled. “It’s just my first time seeing someone displaying everything like that. It’s as if he’s setting up a stall right here.”

Jasper fixed his eyes on Alyssa. He frowned and chuckled awkwardly. He felt like kicking himself. He just tried to act rich in front of the daughter of Belbanks’s wealthiest man. He was being too dense. “Landon, these are…” Newton blinked. He already knew what the documents were, but he asked anyway.
