Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue novel Chapter 2299

Even though Justin was fully capable of operating his wheelchair, two young and adorable boys still helped with pushing him toward Alyssa.

"Mr. Justin, I didn't expect to see you here."

Although Alyssa responded politely with a smile, an observant person could tell that her smile was forced. "I didn't think you would attend an event like today's."

Justin lifted his elegant and bright face. He chuckled and asked, "Were you disappointed to see me?"

Alyssa's heart trembled. She posed an obvious question. "What is there to be disappointed about?"

"Logically speaking, Jasper should be the one to attend the charity events. I am not Beckett Group's president. So, in order to avoid having too many speculations going around out there, I won't be attending tonight's charity dinner. I will simply give them my best wishes."

With an understanding smile on his face, Justin explained in a tender voice, "Even though you didn't get to meet Jasper here, you will be able to see him when you attend the charity dinner tonight, Ms. Alyssa."

Alyssa pursed her lips. She studied Justin with a slightly discerning gaze. In a cold voice, she clarified, "I won't be attending the dinner. You're overthinking it, Mr. Justin."

Right then, Andie interrupted, "Ms. Alyssa, you might not know this, but Mr. Beckett has always been one of the greatest financial supporters of the charity foundation that supports us.

"He has been dedicating himself to charity these past few years. His support behind the scenes was one of the reasons our orphanage was able to expand to its current state."

Alyssa furrowed her brows subtly.

"Don't mention it, Ms. Campbell. It's the least I can do."

Justin smiled slightly. "Ms. Alyssa, I will build snowmen with the children in a bit. If you don't mind, would you like to come for a tour around the place for now?"

Alyssa didn't want to give outsiders the impression that she was pretentious, so she agreed in a soft voice, "Sure."

She looked back and glanced at Sean, whose face was filled with concern. Then, she and Justin walked into the orphanage.

…

Meanwhile, Amber, who had reverted to her original appearance, arrived at the orphanage. A teacher quickly approached her at the entrance. "Excuse me, miss. May I know who you are?"

Amber was stunned. Thereafter, a joyous smile came across her face.

She was once a volunteer at this orphanage for three years. The teacher before her eyes actually knew her, but Amber couldn't believe that the teacher didn't recognize her at all. It seemed like she had indeed bid her dark past goodbye.

"I'm a new volunteer here. I'm… Clara Whitaker."

Amber came up with an alias for herself recently, fearing that she would draw unwanted attention.

Whitaker was her lover's last name, while Clara represented her anticipation of a bright future.

She pulled out an ID with a photograph of her new face on it. "This is my ID. Please, have a look."

"Ah, Ms. Whitaker. Please come with me."

Just as Amber was about to follow the teacher, she heard footsteps behind her. She turned and saw Jasper, bathed in sunlight, walking toward the orphanage.

Walking with him was a woman whose face held a gentle smile. It was none other than Sheryl.

Amber's pupils constricted. Other than feeling alerted, her heart ached deeply for Alyssa.
