Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 59

Sean grinned. “Miss, you're truly wise. I've been monitoring the Gardner

family these past few days, and I have indeed found some progress.

Alyssa smiled. “As expected, without Jaspers help, the

Gardner family can only find ways to raise money to cover their losses. But I thought they would sell "Hmm, it seems they can still afford it with their vast fortune. Burning their last bit of money slowly s dealing them one direct blow.”

Sean coldly snorted. “This is karma for the Gardner family!”

Alyssa didn't say anything more. She casually flipped through the pawnshop records.

Hardly anyone knew that the Taylor family owned two large, well-

established pawnshops in Cassadia and

Bellbanks. Since Winston liked collecting antiques, and rare treasures, he

secretly opened these pawnshops to acquire the unexpected and precious items that people sought He had made a fortune relying on the pawnshops in recent years, as very few people who entered th Suddenly, something caught her eyes, and her hands trembled. She came

across an item named “Crimson Heart” on the list. She tried to calm the surging emotions inside

as a mixture of irony and resentment flashed through her red eyes.

This was the token of love that Jasper painstakingly gave to Liana. When she first saw

him gazing at this pendant under the lamplight two years ago, she fell deeply in love with it.

At that time, she dreamt that the necklace belonged to her. She wanted Jasper to give her gifts, ever if they weren't as precious. Even a simple stone would have

made her happy. But those were merely wishful thinking.

Jasper only gave gifts to the one he loved. Since he didn't love her, she wasn't even worthy of a simg of love. The more Alyssa

looked at it, the more she found it laughable, but her teary eyes had a glint of bitterness.

“I really want to see how Jasper would react when he finds out,” she muttered.

"What did you say?” Sean didn't catch her murmured words.

“The Gardner family doesn't know its true worth. This necklace starts at eight

digits. They sold it for only seven million. We're the ones profiting,” Alyssa put on a sneering smile. H face was tinged with mischief.

At that moment, her phone rang. It was Jonah.

“Jonah!” Alyssa composed herself, her voice sweet like honey.

“Lyse, how have you been lately? Are you tired? Do you need

my help with anything?” Jonah asked, his voice full of concern.

I'm fine. You, on the other hand, shouldn't overwork

yourself. Take care of your health,” Alyssa replied.

After chatting for a while, Jonah said, “There's a charity auction this weekend. Can you

represent me and attend? Dad is adamant about getting the Antique Rosewood Chair. The budget is within one billion. But I have to go to

church to lecture this weekend, so could I trouble you to secure that antique for me?”

“Me? Who should I attend

it as? The girlfriend of the president of the KS Group?” Alyssa teased him, taking a bite of chocolate. “That works,” Jonah chuckled. “As

long as you go, you can be whoever you want. Or you can say you're related to the Taylor family.” Alyssa chewed on the chocolate and nodded. “Alright then, I'll go.

But with just one billion in the budget, what if I also find something I

like?”

“Just bid for it, and I'll reimburse you. However, remember the Taylor family’s rules. Once we join an , others any chance,” Jonah reminded her.

“I know. Dad taught

us to pave our own path and leave others with no way out!” Alyssa said, cracking her knuckles playf "Wishing you good luck, Lyse. Don't forget the

Antique Rosewood Chair,” Jonah said before hanging up.

auction? But isn't it a bit rushed to prepare everything now?”

"We will bring something, and I've already prepared everything.” Alyssa’s lips curved into a sly smile, eyes.
