Jameson choked back bitterness. His voice, strained to the point of hoarseness, threatened to give out. With unparalleled seriousness, he uttered, "Do you have any idea how much effort I've poured into this day just to witness justice finally served upon Josh?
"Even if you're avenging Jonah, couldn't you have waited until after tonight? Why expose everything at the party?"
Alyssa met his accusation with a cold, indifferent stare.
"My mother... endured immense humiliation. I remained silent for 15 years, all to ensure she received the justice she deserved. I wanted Josh to grovel at her feet and apologize to her!"
Jameson's pale lips quivered. "Lyse… I was on the verge of success. Why deny me that chance? Why?"
"Mr. Schmidt, your mother's situation is heartbreaking, but I won't halt my revenge for you." Alyssa's gaze was glacial. "Perhaps you had a personal motive for keeping that bastard alive—to handle him later and protect the Schmidt Group's interests.
"However, I refuse to wait any longer. I want to ensure Josh never sees the light of day. Besides, wasn't this the outcome you desired? To use us and get rid of Josh? You can't always get the best of both worlds, Mr. Schmidt."
Jameson's eyes widened. "Lyse, what are you talking about? I don't understand. When did I ever…"
"Figure it out," Alyssa interrupted, weary of his charade. Any further conversation with him would just be disrespecting herself. She turned and climbed into the car.
"Lyse…" Jameson's voice caught in his throat, the pain piercing his heart.
"Jasper, I'm hungry. Let's grab something to eat." From the car, Alyssa's voice held a hint of flirtation, another dagger twisting in Jameson's gut.

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...
