Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1762

Josh staggered backward as Cyrus appeared, fear gripping him to his core.

Then, four plainclothes policemen filed in behind Cyrus, forming a wall.

Jameson's heart sank at the sight of the policemen barging in. He glanced gloomily at Jasper, who remained as composed as a cat.

Jasper met his despondent gaze, his dark, cold eyes narrowing.

It felt as though two arrowheads, forged from opposing forces of ice and fire, collided explosively.

Clarissa, who had remained silent until now, wore a steely expression as she strode into the midst of the crowd. A palpable sense of hatred emanated from her moist, reddened eyes as she fearlessly locked gazes with Josh. "These videos were extracted from your computer in the study room.
