Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1398

Alyssa didn't question why Maggie was crying nor pressured her.

"I-I just never expected that you guys would be s-so nice to me…" Maggie choked out, her eyes swollen red. "I know… you guys are only doing this because I can… can testify against David Schmidt… But I'm… still so thankful to you all… for respecting me…"

Maggie's tear-stained faces and stuttering words broke both Alyssa and Jasper's hearts. Their breaths stuck in their throats as if caught in a vice.

Xavier's brows knitted together. He had to hold himself back from releasing his fury.

Alyssa embraced Maggie into her arms, her own eyes reddening. "Tragedy led us to one another, but please believe me when I say I will never allow this tragedy to repeat itself."

Maggie's sobs slowly quietened while Alyssa consoled her. She slowly recovered after sipping warm tea proffered to her by Jasper.

"Have you thought things through, Maggie?" Alyssa asked, an arm wrapped around Maggie's shoulder.

"Once you stand against David Schmidt, there's no turning back. You'll be going head-on against the Schmidt family until the very end. Mr. Jasper and I will do our best to protect you, but this will still affect you and your mother's life.

"So if you feel like this is too much for you or if you chose to do this on a whim, I'd advise you…"
