Jameson had his back facing Alyssa, his face turning grim as he adjusted his glasses.
Jasper stood beside Alyssa, lightly pursing his lips. He wanted to stop her, but her words beat him to it. Moreover, intervening now would mean falling for Jameson's trap. He would then be his bitch, as Landon had disgustingly phrased it.
"Lyse, are you okay? Does your waist hurt?"
Winston wasn't bothered about Alyssa's sarcasm. He was more concerned about her injury. "You are so stubborn. You should have gone to the hospital the moment you fell from the horse. Jonah and Mr. Atkins could have taken care of Blaze. Why do you need to do it personally?
"You are just like your mother. Even ten horses wouldn't be able to pull you back when you are this stubborn. Jonah, get on the phone with Mr. Liverton now. Get Lyse to the hospital and gather a group of specialists to get her treated."
However, Jonah read the situation well and didn't comply. Jasper and Alyssa wanted time alone. It would be awkward if he forced his way between them.
"It's okay. I have Jasper to help."
Alyssa proudly laced her fingers with Jasper's, turning to gaze deeply into his eyes. Under that burning gaze, there was no room for anyone else. "Dad, let me remind you—a true man doesn't try to flaunt what he has done to gain favor.
"Who collected evidence, apprehended the culprit, and stood up for me, Blaze, and the Taylor family under great pressure? Who was the one who quietly did everything and never spoke to you about it, keeping his name and hard work under wraps?
"I hope you can be more discerning and not be swayed by an outsider's sweet talk. Don't place yourself in a bad place and become a laughingstock."
After Alyssa finished speaking, she walked past Winston and Jameson proudly with Jasper's hand in hers.
A chilling sense of abandonment grazed Jameson's shoulders. His heart was pricked painfully, and his face was downcast as he clenched his fingers tightly.
When Jasper walked past Winston, he didn't forget to nod at Winston politely. It was hilarious how stiff he was.
"That brat! I've lost control over her now."
Winston pondered for a moment. His eyes flickered as he said earnestly, "But you have to understand that love cannot be forced."
Jameson's eyes shrank; his heart stopped. He didn't understand what Winston meant.
Previously, Winston had sworn to help him and Alyssa get together. Now, he had changed his mind. Jameson wondered if Winston's impression of Jasper had shifted because the latter had helped the Taylor family find the culprit during the horseracing event.
Was it that easy for Winston to overlook Jasper's wrongdoings toward Alyssa over the years?
Or perhaps Winston had never hated Jasper as much as he claimed in the beginning.
Jameson had tried so hard to excel in front of Winston. Just when he believed he had the happiness he had dreamed of within reach, Winston casually said that to him.

The readers' comments on the novel: Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
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 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽...
More chapters please the 7 chapters/day would be nice, TY...
Where can i download the remaining chapters?...
