Can’t Win Me Back

“Be careful, Zoe.”

Not only was the man speaking gently to Zoe, but he was also attentively bending down to help her adjust her hem. He was concerned that her high heels might cause her to trip.

“Thank you, Freddy.” Zoe blinked flirtatiously at the man as she spoke softly.

The sudden appearance of this hateful woman disrupted the rare harmonious moment.

Landon knew that Zoe would definitely show up on such an occasion. Having just experienced exile and escaped confinement, she was eager to regain attention from high society and reclaim her dignity.

He thought that after those sordid events, the respectable people of Solana City would ignore her.

Yet here was a man eagerly catering to her and being so attentive. That man appeared to be a shameless flirt and a blind fool—they seemed like a perfect match.

Jasper frowned in confusion, but Alyssa suddenly spoke up coldly. “I recognize him. Freddy Hodgson, Orlander Hodgson’s only son.”

“You actually recognize him? Even I find him unfamiliar.” Jasper held Alyssa’s hand tightly, looking at her with admiration and adoration.

“It’s normal for you not to recognize him. He’s not part of the governmental circles. Since furthering his studies at Yoarkley, he’s been notably absent from the social scene in Solana City. I suspect he only made his return recently.”

Alyssa looked at Zoe and Freddy with deep eyes. “Back then, upon assuming responsibility for KS World Hotel from Winston, I held a steadfast belief in my future leadership of the entire KS Group. So, I quietly probed into the goings-on within Solana City’s governmental and corporate spheres.”

As she talked, she suddenly chuckled. “At that time, I was determined to crush the entire Beckett Group and compete with you, so I diligently gathered information. I wanted to make a big impact in Solana City. But, I never expected…”

“Never expected yourself to become the wife of Beckett Group’s president?”
