Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1696

Innumerable memories flooded Rose's mind like relentless nightmares, leaving her heart in turmoil. She made her way to the fridge, retrieved a chilled bottle of water, and drank it all, hoping to quell the unrest within her.

At this moment, a thud emanated from the fitting room, jolting Rose. Hastily, she approached and rapped on the door, concern evident in her voice. "Ms. Sparks, is everything alright? Ms. Sparks?"

No one responded. Rose felt something was off and barged into the fitting room.

Clarissa had fainted, her upper body exposed. Clarissa's back was covered with bruises and scabs formed by old injuries.

Rose was stunned for two seconds before she swiftly took off her coat to cover Clarissa's body. Then she carried her up.

"Ms. Sparks, wake up!"

As Clarissa gradually regained consciousness, Rose's relief was palpable, yet her concern lingered. "How did you get these injuries, Ms. Sparks?"

Avoiding Rose's probing gaze, Clarissa turned away, tears brimming in her eyes.

"Are you being abused? Did Josh do this to you?" Rose's eyes blazed with fury, their depths tinged with scarlet intensity.

"Ms. Emerson, this is a private matter. Please don't ask."

Clarissa struggled to get up. She frantically wore her clothes. "I will transfer the money to you shortly. I will ask my assistant to collect the gown from you. Sorry for the trouble!"
