Can't Win Me Back

“Useless!” Andrew coughed painfully, pointing at her and scolding. “Since you got close to Jasper, have you ever done anything useful for our family? We’ve been struggling for years. Yet, you haven’t gained any share of the family’s wealth or even gained the Beckett family favor! I don’t believe Jasper loves you. Having a daughter is just a waste of money! You’re utterly useless!”

Liana’s eyes turned bloodshot with intense resentment. Andrew had always favored sons over daughters. He’d even forced Rosaline to abort her when he learned she was carrying a girl.

The doctor said she would have issues conceiving again after the abortion. Liana only survived under Rosaline’s persistence.

Rosaline couldn’t conceive again after giving birth to her. That deepened Andrew’s disgust toward her. Liana grew up under the shadow of her older brother and tried to win Sophia’s favor to gain attention.

She lost her childlike innocence at a young age, learning manipulative tactics to secure a better future and gain her father’s approval, becoming a successful woman.

Jasper became her first experiment when she was eight years old. Initially, she despised him for being an illegitimate child. Her focus was on the legitimate son of the Beckett family instead.

But Sophia suggested she use Jasper as a stepping stone, even if she didn’t like him. Having a Beckett to be her lapdog and be at her beck and call would benefit her greatly.

Sophia allowed her to become Jasper’s savior and the light in his dark life. This led to his obsession with her.

Throughout this process, she greatly helped the Gardner family. But in the end, Andrew still treated her as a tool to gain favor with the powerful. The slightest mistake and he deemed her as worthless.

Liana felt a malicious idea form in her heart. She had no intention of helping Dylan. That good–for– nothing should rot in jail for the rest of his life. Then the Gardner family would be hers, even if it was just an empty shell. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

“That’s enough! What more can Liana do if Jasper doesn’t want to help?” Rosaline hurried over and hugged her daughter, glaring at Andrew in anger. “It’s all your fault! If you hadn’t spoiled Dylan so much, he wouldn’t have ended up like this! The men in the Gardner family are useless. All you know is to vent out your frustrations on women!”

Andrew was so angry his blood was boiling. But he remembered that Rosaline’s sister was Javier Beckett’s wife, so he couldn’t lose his temper quickly.

“Now, what’s important is to salvage our reputation and hasten Liana and Jasper’s marriage.” Rosaline’s eyes turned dark as she thought about how Jasper let her son suffer without help. “If necessary, we’ll find way to turn their relationship into a done deal. That way, the Beckett family would never be rid of Liana!”

“Mum! Did you forget…” Liana panicked and pointed at her belly.

Rosaline remembered the stretch marks on her daughter’s abdomen that hadn’t faded away. She sighed in annoyance and said, “Just get a tattoo to cover them if necessary. It’s the quickest solution.”

Liana was very repulsed by the idea. She didn’t want to get a tattoo on her belly. After all, she had always maintained the image of pure and innocent beauty. But the stretch marks remained even after several laser skin treatments. The tattoo would be her last resort if she couldn’t remove them before the wedding.

At that moment, the staff came down, carrying some things.

‘Madam, everything has been packed.”

‘These are all my jewelry boxes! Mum, what are you going to do with them?”

‘I’m selling them.”

What? You can’t do that! They are mine!”

.jana rushed over and grabbed the most valuable box in a panic. Inside were gifts Jasper had given her. There was a ruby pendant named Crimson Heart.”

been generous toward her.

“The company needs money for now. We can get by for a while if we sell these items along with my jewelry. Besides, there’s a charity

auction in two weeks. We must make an appearance to gain some positive press and improve the Gardner family’s negative image.

Moreover, Mr. Beckett Senior’s birthday is approaching. The things we buy at the auction can be used as a birthday gift for him, killing two birds with one stone.”

Rosaline looked at her begrudgingly. Still, she tried to console Liana, “Once you marry Jasper, he will shower you with wealth and riches. Don’t just focus on the present. Look into the future. You are going to be the wife of the President of Beckett Group. Your brother is useless, so I can only count on you.”

After hesitating, Liana gritted her teeth and reluctantly handed the box to Rosaline.
