Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1939

Justin abstained from alcohol, drinking only the finest tea as he chatted with Javier and Jasper. They discussed everything from Mosgravia's climate to its cultural customs.

Newton only occasionally interjected, maintaining a calm demeanor. He was neither overly affectionate nor distant toward Justin.

"Lauren is blessed. Once this ordeal is over, it will be smooth sailing from here on out."

Justin asked with concern, "Mr. Landon seems deeply attached to Lauren. From what I saw today, are they about to get married?"

"Once Lauren recovers, I plan to arrange their marriage," Javier replied. The thought of marrying off his daughter filled him with both relief and a hint of reluctance.

"That's wonderful. Lauren and Mr. Landon make a perfect couple. I'll be sure to prepare a generous gift for their wedding day."

"Justin, the gift you brought for Lauren this time is already quite valuable. It's more than enough as a dowry. There's no need to spend more." Javier chuckled.

"That's not enough." Justin smiled gently. "She's your only daughter and my only sister. We must cherish her twice as much.

"I've been living alone in Mosgravia these past years and haven't fulfilled my duties as a brother. Now that my physical condition has improved, I want to do everything I can for my siblings; that way, I can find some peace of mind."

Touched, Javier's eyes welled up. "I'm really happy for you to say that, Justin."

"Justin, the gifts you brought today truly opened my eyes," Newton chimed in with a smile, changing the subject. "It seems you've been living quite comfortably in Mosgravia. Just the gifts you brought today alone probably exceed your annual dividends from Beckett Group, right?"

Jasper secretly glanced at Newton and silently gave him a thumbs-up in his mind.

"I've put the annual dividends from Beckett Group into starting a few small businesses in Mosgravia and making some investments. I've had some lucky breaks and made a bit of money," Justin replied modestly.

"What small businesses could possibly earn you hundreds of millions of dollars? I'm genuinely curious, Justin. I'd like to learn some business tips from you," Newton half-jokingly asked.

Justin replied, "Pharmaceuticals."

Jasper pretended to be indifferent as he looked at him, but his gaze was intriguing.

"Oh! Pharmaceuticals can indeed be quite lucrative. Justin, you have a knack for business!" Javier praised.

He then continued on the topic, "Mr. Lovelace of Lovelace Group in Belbanks has abandoned medicine for business in recent years, relying on the biomedical industry to amass great wealth. His company is now one of the top pharmaceutical groups in the country."

"I'm finally here to reunite with all of you after being so long apart. Discussing business matters seems dull. It all boils down to making money anyway," Justin remarked casually.

He then suddenly focused his gaze on Jasper's face, his eyes calm and deep. "Jasper, I'm sincerely happy for you and Ms. Alyssa for reconciling."

Jasper smiled faintly. "Thank you, Justin."

"Last month, I came across an item that caught my eye at an auction in Mosgravia. I thought it would be perfect for Ms. Alyssa, so I bought it."

As Justin said that, he reached into his suit and pulled out an exquisite, slender satin-lined box. He then pushed toward the center of the table. "When you go back, please give it to Ms. Alyssa as a token of my congratulations to you both."

Jasper hesitated for a moment before rising to take the box.

The moment he opened it, his eyes widened, and his handsome face suddenly darkened.

Inside the box lay an exquisitely crafted crystal hair clip.
