Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1156

The jaws of all three dropped in astonishment.

"Jasper, it was 20 years ago. Where did you get the physical evidence from?" Alyssa grabbed Jasper's hand.

Jasper turned his hand around and laced his fingers with hers. His voice was low and hoarse. "Do you remember when I mentioned I was investigating the maid who used to serve my mother?"

Alyssa nodded.

"She might have had a premonition before disaster struck. Before something happened to Sophia, she had intentions to escape. Xavier sent men over and managed to capture her. That's when I employed some of my tricks."

Jasper took a deep breath and continued, "Out of massive fear and to protect her son, she said some things that Sophia had never mentioned in the recording—the truth."

Alyssa believed that even if the maid's lips were sealed, Jasper wouldn't have done anything to her son.

Xavier's body swayed as if he had been struck hard by someone.

Alyssa's nose stung. She felt the air around her thinning. Her heart felt as if a huge rock was on top of it.

If it were someone else, they would have gone ballistic. However, Jasper kept his cool. The calmer he was, the more her heart ached.

"Jasper, what's going on?" Cyrus anxiously asked.

"The maid mentioned that she followed Sophia's orders to swap my mother's medication for depression. However, she swapped the medication with supplements, so it wasn't lethal.
