It was as if something was stuck in Javier's throat as he pointed at his son's face. His high and mighty demeanor was slowly compromised. "Jasper, you ungrateful bastard!
"If I was putting on a show, I wouldn't have gone against the majority and suffered the pressure to bring you and your mother back to the Beckett Group from the slums.
"If it weren't for me, both of you wouldn't have died on the smelly and nasty streets. Have you forgotten how sick your mother was? She didn't have a single dime on her to go to the hospital for treatment.
"She had no way to support you. If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have recovered from her sickness. How on Earth would you have lived the cushy life you have now?"
Alyssa watched as Jasper, feeling wronged, received a baseless accusation. As a bystander, her heart burned with fire. She felt her blood boiling in her as her fists clenched.
Until now, Javier wasn't speaking to Jasper as a husband or a father. He was still on his high horse, thinking he offered charity to Jasper and his mother, a holier-than-thou capitalist.
Everything he said sounded like it made sense. However, everything was hinted toward one thing—Jasper and his mother were not from the world as he was.
He was the one who had been kind and gracious enough to help them escape from the cheap, dirty, and smelly slum. With a move of his finger, they could enter his world.
That ingrained sense of arrogance and superiority was more humiliating and angering than profanities and insults.
"No matter what, I have raised you to who you are today. You wouldn't be where you are today without me. Would you even have the privilege to be so rude and rebellious to me?" Javier ran his mouth like a machine gun, firing at Jasper with bloodshot eyes.
"If I was a girl and not a boy, would you have found ways to bring me back to the Beckett family? If it weren't for this, would you ever remember a pitiful woman who was carrying your baby wandering with no power or status to her name? Would you even remember she who didn't have a roof over her head or food on the table?"
Jasper's lips curled into a sharp smile. He was terrifyingly cold as he continued to mock Javier, "I have to thank Grandpa for his nurture and care and my mother's strong body for who I am today."
"You rebellious bastard! You have crossed the line!"
Javier's noble demeanor had utterly crumbled. Outraged, he raised his hand and was about to slap Jasper across his face.
Jasper was unfazed. His terrifyingly glistening eyes carried an intimidating sense of hatred.

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🙄...
