Jasper wanted to console Alyssa but found himself at a loss for words. So, he remained silent.
"Disappointed, aren't you?" Alyssa sniffled as she smiled bitterly.
"Not at all."
Perhaps he had been expecting too much.
As a woman, she was intelligent, capable, and a strategist for victory. Beyond that, she boldly stepped forward to fight against the dark forces. She was strong and perfect as she was—why should he expect her to be anything more?
Yet, seeing Alyssa's vulnerable side unsettled him. Something tugged at his heartstrings, a deep ache he couldn't ignore.
"I found it! I found Ms. Altman's cell phone!"
With more manpower and better visibility as the sun rose, it didn't take long to locate Amber's bloodied phone.
"Ambs…"
Alyssa's face drained of color as terror gripped her at the sight of the bloodstained device.
Jasper, on the other hand, remained composed. He tried powering on the phone, and to their surprise, it turned on.
"What's the password?" Jasper asked gently, his voice steady as his gaze met Alyssa's tear-filled eyes.
With trembling hands, Alyssa took the phone and entered Axel's birthdate. The screen unlocked instantly.
In the photo album, they found images of documents.
Amber, wary of unexpected events, had saved a copy of the documents on her phone.
Instinctively, Jasper leaned in, his head close to Alyssa's as they studied the contents together.
Both proficient in Grunslandish, they read through the document with ease.
Landon, curious, peeked over their shoulders. Unfortunately, his lack of Grunslandish skills rendered the text incomprehensible to him.
"RC Biotechnology Research Institute. That's the organization behind the human drug experiments. They're the ones who released that drug!"
Her fiery gaze locked with Jasper's.
"Yeah. These photos must be of the documents Amber found at The Millenium. Jameson probably didn't have time to take them with him and left them behind."
"You should head back home and rest. Take care of yourself." Alyssa's miserable appearance made Jasper's chest feel stuffy. "I'll get in touch with Axel. We were in the same military academy and share a good rapport. He might listen to me."
Landon shook his head in disbelief. Jasper had a sharp tongue and little tact—convincing Axel seemed like a stretch.
In the end, Jasper and Landon escorted a drained Alyssa into the car, leaving Xavier to drive her back to her place in Belbanks.
"Jasper, what do you think—"
Before Landon could even finish his sentence, a loud crash startled him.
Jasper, his eyes blazing, had slammed his fist into the car window, shattering it.
After suppressing his fury for so long, he finally let it explode in front of Landon after Alyssa had left.
"I won't spare him," Jasper growled, his voice trembling with rage.
"Who?"
"Justin and that bitch working under him."

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 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽...
