Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1828

Jasper tightened the grip on his phone. "Lyse, I need to answer Landon's call."

"Go ahead," Alyssa gently said.

Jasper had always been transparent with his calls in front of her; there were no secrets between them. But Alyssa understood that this call was important for both Landon and Jasper.

Jasper rose and made his way to the living room. Standing by the window, he answered with concern, "Landon, how are you holding up? Are you okay?"

"Jasper." After a prolonged pause, Landon's voice came through, strained as if he hadn't had water in days. "I miss Lauren so much…"

Jasper felt a pang in his chest. "Don't worry. Lauren is with Grandpa. We're taking care of her. She's safe."

"Jasper, can I still be with Lauren? Can I still marry her?" Landon's question held a desperate tone.

Jasper's throat constricted; he was momentarily speechless. While he knew Landon was deeply in love with Lauren, he couldn't predict if Lauren would choose him.

"If I can resolve things with the Harper Group, will you let me be with Lauren?" Landon's tone turned grim. "Jasper, please help me."

A steely resolve settled in Jasper's eyes. "You're like a brother to me. Of course, I'll help you."

"In the coming days, let's work together to gather evidence against the Harper Group. We need everything we can get, especially anything incriminating about Cornelius."

Jasper's heart clenched. "Landon, Cornelius is your grandfather. And he's the one truly running the Harper Group. Don't do anything reckless!"

Before Jasper could respond, Landon abruptly ended the call.

Jasper sighed, lifting his gaze to the silver moon casting its cold light upon him, knowing sleep would evade him tonight.

…

With Lauren's condition stabilizing, Jasper and Alyssa felt a temporary sense of relief as they left Newton's place to return to work.

Jasper had no time to freshen himself up; he rushed straight to the Beckett Group.

In the morning, he chaired a company meeting. After attending to important guests in the afternoon, he finally found a moment to call Alyssa.
