Jasper and Alyssa looked at one another in shock.
Alyssa probed, "What did that man look like? Do you still remember his face?"
"Of course I do."
Angelina frowned. "He's… very good-looking."
Jasper and Alyssa were speechless. They never expected Angelina to utter those words.
"I'm not kidding. He's genuinely quite good-looking. His face is the type that leaves a lasting impression with just one glance."
"Were there any other attributes he had?" Alyssa pressed on as she was unsatisfied with the answer.
"He looked a bit familiar. I keep getting the nagging feeling that I've seen him somewhere…"
Angelina knocked on her head with her fist, attempting to jog her memory.
Immediately, Alyssa rushed forward and grabbed Angelina by her wrist. She said to her soothingly, "It's alright. It's okay. It's alright if you can't recall the details. Don't hurt yourself."
Angelina locked eyes with Alyssa. Suddenly, her face lit up. "I remember now. He looked… somewhat like Mr. Cyrus!"
Alyssa was slightly taken aback. "Oh? He must be quite handsome then," she commented.
Jasper was at a loss for words.
Was this the right time to mention that?
Angelina placed her trembling hand on her injured left leg, still reeling from the shock of the incident.
"I'm certain that the assassin has undergone rigorous combat training. His skills rival those of foreign mercenaries.
"I doubt Preston has the resources to hire such an expert. But if he wasn't the mastermind, how did the assailant smuggle Madam Lauren into Harper Group's highly secure building? Moreover, he locked her in the safe room known only to Mr. Harper Senior."
"That's likely because he colluded with someone from Harper Group." Jasper's eyes were dim. "Preston has got to be one of them. And perhaps Mr. Harper Senior had a hand in it too."
Tears welled up in Alyssa's eyes, and a chill ran down her spine.
With Landon as the exception, everyone else in Harper Group seemed intent on destroying Lauren. They were all Lauren's enemies!
Alyssa couldn't discern whether their animosity toward Lauren stemmed from her neuroatypical condition or if they simply didn't want Landon to be happy.
"Mr. Beckett, Ms. Alyssa… I have only one request to ask from you." Angelina's badly beaten body trembled as she spoke, choking back tears. "Please help Mr. Landon and Madam Lauren.
"Please don't separate them no matter what… Mr. Landon cannot be without Madam Lauren. He won't be able to live without her."
Alyssa reached out to steady Angelina, fearing she might collapse.
In truth, Alyssa had never thought of separating them. To her, Lauren was as dear as her own sister, Tatiana. Moreover, she was Lauren's sister-in-law. She had lashed out at Landon only because her heart went out to Lauren.
If she hadn't been so harsh with her words, would Landon even come to realize the gravity of the situation?

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...
