Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1078

Tears welled up in Jameson's eyes. He bit his lip until it turned white.

He played a man who felt wronged and pitiful from being misunderstood by the love of his life so well. He was so immersed in playing this character that he had forgotten—he was the man who brought Alyssa these deadly troubles.

Alyssa stared at him. Inexplicable emotions swirled in her lifeless eyes.

"What happened? Can you tell me, Lyse? What did I do to have caused such a misunderstanding? Even if I were to die, I need to die with proper closure!" Jameson kept asking questions. His forehead was dripping with cold sweat.

The elegant and dignified Jameson Schmidt had never been so disheveled.

Alyssa knew she wouldn't be able to get anything out of him all along. Her statements were a calculated warning to Jameson, intending to apply pressure. She aimed to induce panic, hoping he might inadvertently reveal something.

She also wanted to use this cruel way to tell him to stop having fantasies of her. They would never be a couple and would no longer be friends.

"Okay, you're not admitting to knowing Inigo. Fine. How about Miley and Jeremy?"

Alyssa's shoulders trembled violently from her massive rage. "When you were in Kontina, you wanted them dead for your benefit. Are you planning to let this slip?"

"Lyse, some of the people in the Schmidt Group did do heinous things to your brother-in-law, Jeremy. But when I found out that Jeremy's wife was your sister, I immediately ordered them to stop all projects.

"You have to understand I'm not the only voice in the Schmidt Group. Several shareholders in the group have a say, too. When I stopped the projects, they were strongly against it and retaliated.

"I tried to deal with them but couldn't completely stop them, especially when they have more secret tricks hidden up their sleeves."

Jameson's voice was hoarse as he continued to explain, "Lyse, please believe me! I love you so much. I've loved you for 15 years. Why would I risk upsetting you and hurting your family?"

Alyssa only stared at him. A suffocating sense of loneliness sprouted between them.

After a long time, she parted her lips slightly. "Go home. If you don't, I will."

As she turned, Jameson suddenly hugged her from the back. He pleaded, "Lyse, don't leave me."
