"Ms. Altman, it's been a while. You still look as lovely as before," the man complimented Amber with a gentle smile.
Amber looked stoic and cold. She lowered her gaze and replied humbly, "Sir, thanks for the compliment."
"You're indeed a woman groomed by Mr. Schmidt. You're gentle, demure, and gracious. Sometimes, I feel that you're Alyssa Taylor herself. You're the best substitute I've ever seen."
Amber kept her silence, but she looked glum. By describing her as a substitute, all his prior compliments sounded sarcastic to her.
Jameson did not continue on that topic. Instead, he opened the box and revealed the antique vase to the man. "This is a Wiktorian-era pink frosted vase I got for you from a Yoarkley auction. It's nothing special. I hope you don't mind it."
Sheryl lifted a brow in amusement. She had been keeping an eye on the vase for her employer. In the end, an anonymous buyer won the bid with 50 million dollars. She had not expected the buyer to be Jameson.
She thought, "Mr. Schmidt is indeed a thoughtful lapdog."
The man nodded softly. "Mr. Schmidt, that's very thoughtful of you. I'll need your help on drug DAD0044."
Jameson nodded at him. "Don't worry. I'll give it my best."
After Jameson and Amber left, silence fell on the scented room.
"Sir, whose face do you think is prettier—my face that you sculpted or Amber's that resembles Alyssa Taylor?" Sheryl gently placed her hand on the man's shoulder and whispered into his ear.
He smiled and patted his thigh. She obediently walked over and kneeled in front of him. Then, she looked up at him with a tender gaze on her radiant face.
"Amber might be a carbon copy of Alyssa Taylor, but she'll never be her. She's a low-grade substitute that Jameson Schmidt created to satisfy his desire." The man leaned forward and placed a finger under her chin.

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🙄...
Hello, more chapters please. It has been over 1 week since we have received 7 chapters. Thank you...
Just wonder what happened to publish 7 chap/day...
