"Dad, I'm not letting you go! You'd better stay here!" Alyssa flared up and blocked her father's way.
"How dare you! I'm your father. You have no right to tell me what to do. You are in no place to make decisions for the Taylor family."
Winston and Alyssa found themselves at a stalemate, unable to find common ground.
Mandy panicked and froze where she was.
It was the first time Jasper had experienced a situation like this after getting together with Alyssa. He didn't know how to comfort and how to mediate this argument.
"Dad, you…" Alyssa felt a sense of suffocation. She clenched her fists so hard that they'd turned pale.
"Alyssa, if you want to be a good daughter, please don't anger me anymore. Please don't force me into this yelling match with you."
Winston had drenched his nightwear in sweat. Even panting took up a lot of his energy. The sight of his beloved daughter slowly turned blurry in his eyes. "Please just let me do what I want this one time. Is it that hard?"
…
It was 1:30 pm.
Winston arrived at the KS Group building in the company of Neil, Alyssa, and Jasper.
Winston had changed into a smart-looking suit as if he had donned his armor, ready to engage in war. His energy now was a far cry from the feeble patient who struggled to even leave his bed just hours ago.
The effects of the medication were potent.
Jasper and Alyssa were worried. They followed Winston all the way to the entrance of the meeting room like parents sending their children off to school.
"Hey, Winston!"
They were unlucky to see the undaunted Dominic walking toward them.
Dominic waved his hand and laughed. "However, the KS Group would always welcome you as a shareholder, Mr. Beckett. After all, everyone is saying things about you. You, as the illegitimate son of the Beckett family, had risen into position.
"To secure your position in the family, you can become the Taylor family's son-in-law, use the KS Group's power to cement your standing, and enjoy great benefits from the company. It is just as how everyone else was saying.
"If you become a shareholder, you could win brownie points with my brother and debunk the terrible rumor everyone is saying about you."
"Haha! Uncle Dominic, I thought you just had an outdated taste. I didn't realize how outdated the news you received was, too."
Alyssa felt like ripping Dominic to shreds, but she maintained her smile and stayed composed. "Even if you don't have working internet, it's not that hard to get more updated news from the television.
"Jasper is not an illegitimate child, but a pure blood of the Beckett family. After apprehending Sophia, Jasper had gotten the recognition he deserved.
"Various media platforms have been competing for this headline. If you continue to talk about this outdated piece of rumor, people might think you are on Sophia's side. They would assume you were just angry and didn't want to let Jasper off."
As Jasper locked eyes with Alyssa, a warmth blossomed within his heart, spreading like a gentle flame.

The readers' comments on the novel: Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
seems to have come to a halt useless...
Where are the chapters please ? Over a week no updates....
Just tell me where to purchase the book I definitely will buy it...
Need more chapters please...
It’s dwindled down to 1 page a day??...
7 chapters a day would be great...
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?...
