In the street from across the police station, Alyssa had waited for a while in Jasper's arms.
Nestling against him softly, she sweated as she reported, "I received a text from Cyrus. He said he had asked a few close colleagues to keep tabs on the case. As of just now, apart from David Schmidt's attorney, no one from the Schmidt family has attempted to defend him. They did not make any moves at all."
It so happened that Alyssa was on her second day of the period, which was usually the worst. Jasper had advised her to stay home, but she was stubborn. Now, suffering from period cramps, she wiggled in his arms like an eel.
She silently thought, "Guess I need to listen to Jasper for once and take a good rest."
"Josh always plays long-term. All he wants right now is to hide away, I bet. There's no way he would defend a notorious and hopeless villain. He would only turn himself the next target of public wrath."
Holding her in his right arm, he placed a hand on her lower abdomen and caressed it in circles in a clockwise direction.
"Mm… Harder. Mm… Harder, please…"
Hearing that, he swallowed hard. A tingling sensation spread through his body from the fingertips in contact with her skin. He said hoarsely, "See? You're suffering from your stubbornness. I'll have Xavier buy something warm for you."
"It's fine. He's busy now with Maggie's matters. Don't bother him for everything. He's just your secretary, not your slave," Alyssa spoke up for Xavier, eliciting a bitter smile on Jasper's lips.
"Josh has not made a move, and the same goes for Victor. Seems like they're ready to give up on David," Alyssa said sweetly with a contradictory smirk. "That's their only choice right now."
"This scandal is the talk of the nation. As the Schmidt Group suffers from a PR crisis, it's only natural that they'll sacrifice David to calm the anger.

The readers' comments on the novel: Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
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?...
Why are we literally only getting one chapter a day?!? I mean can we at least get 4 or something? Irritating🙄...
