Jameson choked back bitterness. His voice, strained to the point of hoarseness, threatened to give out. With unparalleled seriousness, he uttered, "Do you have any idea how much effort I've poured into this day just to witness justice finally served upon Josh?
"Even if you're avenging Jonah, couldn't you have waited until after tonight? Why expose everything at the party?"
Alyssa met his accusation with a cold, indifferent stare.
"My mother... endured immense humiliation. I remained silent for 15 years, all to ensure she received the justice she deserved. I wanted Josh to grovel at her feet and apologize to her!"
Jameson's pale lips quivered. "Lyse… I was on the verge of success. Why deny me that chance? Why?"
"Mr. Schmidt, your mother's situation is heartbreaking, but I won't halt my revenge for you." Alyssa's gaze was glacial. "Perhaps you had a personal motive for keeping that bastard alive—to handle him later and protect the Schmidt Group's interests.
"However, I refuse to wait any longer. I want to ensure Josh never sees the light of day. Besides, wasn't this the outcome you desired? To use us and get rid of Josh? You can't always get the best of both worlds, Mr. Schmidt."
Jameson's eyes widened. "Lyse, what are you talking about? I don't understand. When did I ever…"
"Figure it out," Alyssa interrupted, weary of his charade. Any further conversation with him would just be disrespecting herself. She turned and climbed into the car.
"Lyse…" Jameson's voice caught in his throat, the pain piercing his heart.
"Jasper, I'm hungry. Let's grab something to eat." From the car, Alyssa's voice held a hint of flirtation, another dagger twisting in Jameson's gut.
Jameson gritted his teeth, fists clenched in fury. "How is this possible? How did they obtain such accurate information?
"Josh may be a despicable criminal, but how did they uncover his human trafficking network, using the Schmidt Group to peddle influence and exploit young girls? It's what we uncovered!"
"I'm struggling to comprehend it myself," Carl admitted, bewildered. "If Ms. Alyssa and Jasper had truly wanted revenge for Mr. Jonah and Dr. Lovelace's exposed relationship, they would have gone after Josh and exposed his crimes much earlier. Why wait all this time to act?
"The timeline seemed implausibly short, yet the evidence they possessed was remarkably detailed—unless it was a stroke of luck. Otherwise, how else could they obtain it?"
Jameson mulled over Carl's words. They had uncovered what he had uncovered. It seemed too coincidental to be true.

The readers' comments on the novel: Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
Can u post more chapters as promised for 7 chapters a day. Enjoyed the story very much. Hope all is well and thank you in advance....
HI. I am stuck on 2454 for over 3 months now. Will there be any more chapters or we just have to stop waiting for it and forget about this book....
seems to have come to a halt useless...
Where are the chapters please ? Over a week no updates....
Just tell me where to purchase the book I definitely will buy it...
Need more chapters please...
It’s dwindled down to 1 page a day??...
7 chapters a day would be great...
I am trying to figure out why an author writes one page and it is suppose to be a chapter and then the author gets the audience hooked on the story and just drags it on. Follow the rules please, and at least give the 7 chapters daily. Two chapters every other day is a waste of time. Or just release the book and give us the option to buy it....
Ughhh…can we get more pleeeease! I’m so into this book and literally check daily for updates but it’s only two pages at most. Can you at least do 4 pages a night 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽...
