Can’t Win Me Back

The reporter pressed on, "Recently, Ms. Gillis and Mr. Beckett have been frequently spotted together in public. Rumor has it she's his new lover! You and Mr. Beckett just broke up, and now he's with someone else. Were they involved before?"

Alyssa silently clenched her fingers into fists. Suddenly, a chill overcame her like a cold-blooded snake slithering up from her calf.

She forced herself to maintain her composure. With a sharp gaze, she stared at the reporter who threw those questions out.

Intimidated by that stare, that reporter shrunk back into the crowd.

"I will say this one last time. Mr. Beckett and I had an amicable breakup. It had nothing to do with anyone else. Jasper and I have been together for many years.

"Even though we have broken up, I will continue to defend his reputation as a friend. I am not going to allow anyone to slander or damage his reputation. Having been together for so many years, no one knows how good of a person he is better than I do...

As Alyssa spoke, her eyes turned red. She choked back on her tears as she broke into a bright smile. "So, from now on, I will sue all those who spread rumors about Mr. Beckett!"

The reporters shot looks at one another.
