Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
Chapter 469

Chapter 469

In the three days Alyssa stayed at home, she did nothing except eat and sleep like a farmed animal.

Her three stepmothers took exceptional care of her. Lyla whipped up delectable dishes, leading to Alyssa gaining over three pounds in three days.

"I'm turning into a pig if I keep eating!" Alyssa groaned.

"Alright, just one last meal, dear," Lyla and Colene coaxed her toward the dining hall.

With Winston and Jonah away in another state for an important event, Alyssa found herself sharing lunch

with her stepmothers.

"Ms. Alyssa, good news!" Sean rushed in with a grin on his refreshing face.

"The police have arrested Betty Beckett for suspected business crime. Sophia Kirkman is worried dead for her daughter, and Javier Beckett is busy bailing his daughter out!"

"It took them three whole days to arrest Betty. The Solana City Police Department certainly isn't as efficient as our Belbanks police," Alyssa remarked without surprise and gracefully dabbed her mouth with a napkin.

"They would've been in hot water if they'd arrested her immediately, given her status as a Beckett," Mandy

chimed in, placing a piece of dessert on Alyssa's plate. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Mandy continued, "Come now, have one more. You won't get to enjoy Lyla's cooking when you're back in

Solana City."

"Mm... I really can't eat anymore! Burp!" Alyssa shook her head and burped softly with a hand over her mouth. The three stepmothers instantly burst out laughing.

Sean smiled at Alyssa's adorable demeanor. Then, he leaned over and gently patted her on the back to prevent her from choking on her food. He commented, "Take your time. Don't choke on your food." The observant Mandy noticed Sean's action and noted his affection for Alyssa. She furrowed her brows but kept her thoughts to herself for the moment.

"That Beckett girl is really something for picking trouble with Lyse a few times. She should be punished heavily.

"But, honestly, I believe Sophia Kirkman is the one who should be held accountable! She's just pure evil. I think Sophia is the mastermind behind Betty's attempts to undermine Lyse. She's even more wicked than the devil!"

Colene let go of her usual table manners when Winston wasn't around. She slammed her hand on the

table and spoke her mind, "What goes around, comes around! When will it be Sophia's turn to face divine justice? If it weren't for her, Lyla wouldn't have-"

"Colene, you've been talking non-stop. Here, have some dessert." Lyla's heart raced as she quickly shoved a piece of shortcake into Colene's mouth with a forced smile.

Upon hearing that, Alyssa's eyes dimmed. There seemed to be some history between Lyla and Sophia. After lunch, Alyssa went to Colene's bedroom to find out the details instead of confronting Lyla directly. Colene finally realized that she had blurted out Lyla's secret and gently slapped herself on the cheek as she exclaimed, "It's all because of my big mouth! I promised Lyla I'd never bring up the matter, especially

not in front of the children!"

"Lyla worked with Sophia at TS Network for quite a while before marrying Winston, didn't she? They were both signed under the network. While Lyla was one of the top actresses on the network, Sophia was only assigned villain roles in Lyla's TV shows," remarked Alyssa.

After a moment of reflection, Alyssa continued, "From what I know about Sophia, she's quite cunning and envious. She might have resorted to underhanded tactics because she was jealous of Lyla's popularity."

"Ain't that right! That's why-" Colene almost blurted out more details. She bit her lips and closed her eyes as she mumbled, "No, no, I promised not to betray Lyla. I won't say anything more."

Growing increasingly anxious, Alyssa pressed on, "Colene, it's clear that Sophia has deeply hurt Lyla in the past. You've always been known for your righteousness and courage. Don't you want to help Lyla seek justice?"
