Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue
Chapter 1674

Alyssa held her breath. "Jonah, what do you mean by that?"

"Look at the condition of Dad's health right now. He is unable to continue managing KS Group. Ontop of that, this sort of public controversy happened to me. It is no longer appropriate for me tocontinue as president.”

Jasper's chest tightened. "You didn't commit any crimes nor harmed anyone. Why do you say thatit's no longer appropriate?”

"My presence will become a hazard to the corporation.”

Jonah's eyes were vacant, betraying no hint of emotion. "As long as I remain in this position, thepublic will be reminded of those photographs whenever they see me in the future. They will notthink of anything else. They will only be reminded of the fact that KS Group's president is ahomosexual.

"I don't mind putting my image aside and becoming a laughingstock. However, I cannot do that toKS Group."

"Are you resigning, Jonah? You're not going to remain president?" Alyssa asked with a tremor in hervoice. She was shocked and frantic.

Jonah smiled relaxedly. "Yeah. I've discussed this with Dad. I've already made my intentions veryclear to him.

"Lyse, do you remember the day when you went home to see Dad? What did I say then? I said thatyou are the most suitable candidate for president and the most perfect successor of KS Group. Idon't want you to feel like it's a regretful thing. Truth be told, I've been waiting a long time for thisday.

"It has never been my ambition to be the president. All these years, I have been under a lot ofpressure. I never had a chance to relax. Now that you're finally taking over, I can live a life I want.""Jonah, I was just kidding. I do have ambitions. I'm someone who hungers to have a position, but..."The tip of Alyssa’s nose turned red. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she started choking on hertears

Jasper read her mind, and his heart ached for her. He wrapped his arms around her and held her ina secure embrace.

"Oh, silly. You're tearing up again.”

Jonah comforted her immediately. “I am just tendering my resignation. Nothing is happening to me.You don't have to react like that.

"Moving forward, KS Group will be in your hands. Your wish to carry this responsibility is finallycoming true. I'm guessing that you'd even be smiling in your sleep, wouldn't you?

"The only thing is that you'd probably be very occupied in the days to come. In some ways, it willaffect the time that you and Jasper will get to spend together. That is something that I feel sorryabout.

"Don’t say that, Jonah.”

Jasper gave Alyssa a squeeze around her waist. His veins were throbbing, and his heart waspounding. "If spending time apart is a concern, I will marry Lyse as soon as possible.

"After that, I will spend as much time as I can with her. I will cling to her every day. I'm just afraidthat she'll become sick and bored of me by then."

Alyssa bit on her lip shyly. She leaned into his arms as she smiled sweetly.

With a smile on his face, Jonah teased Jasper, "My sister is a strong, independent woman. Whathappens if she wishes to go out to work and for you to be the househusband?"

"If you ask me, I'd rather cook for Lyse than work at the Beckett Group,” answered Jasper withoutany hesitation.

He looked at Alyssa with a fiery and sincere gaze. "Lyse just needs to be herself when we'retogether. As for myself, I am happy just being by her side.”

Alyssa's heart swelled with love. She buried her head in Jasper's chest.

"Lyse has garnered some experience at KS World Hotel in the past. Nevertheless, it still seems hastyfor her to assume this position overnight. I would appreciate it if you could provide some guidanceto her moving forward, Mr. Beckett," Jonah said in a serious tone.

"You're pulling my leg, Jonah, aren't you?"

Jasper couldn't help but laugh. "In the past, I have gone against Lyse multiple times in the businessworld. I lost to her every single time. I don't think I'm in any position to be guiding her.”

Alyssa chimed in, "That was because you let me win."

Jasper answered honestly, "I didn't, really.”

Alyssa jabbed him on his side playfully. It hurt, but it also made his entire body tingle.

"Anyway, I'm just relieved that Lyse has you by her side. Once Dad's condition has stabilized, Julienand I will bring Dad to Mosgravia to get treated. We will be there for a while. I will leave the familyand KS Group in your care."

Jonah smiled slightly. "Feel free to come by anytime if you miss Dad, myself, or Jul."

Alyssa and Jasper held each other's hands. They nodded enthusiastically.

Right at that moment, they heard the sound of footsteps approaching from behind them.

Jonah was able to recognize the sound of those footsteps. He knew who it was. His heart skipped abeat.

"Jul is here!"

Quick-wittedly, Alyssa pulled Jasper by the hand and dragged him away. "Have a good chat withJonah. We'll be taking our leave!"

The moon was shining brightly in the night sky.
