Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1893

"Yet, here you are, barging in, knowing full well I'm occupied. What a party pooper," Freddy grumbled, slowly re-fastening his belt, his displeasure evident on his face.

The man in the blue suit flicked the cigarette butt to the ground. "You can indulge later. Zoe wants us to bring Lauren to her."

Lauren's eyes darkened at the mention of Zoe's name, plunging her further into a pit of despair.

…

Jasper and Alyssa led Sean, Xavier, and the others to the western suburbs.

Despite severe injuries, Cyrus insisted on leading a police team to the abandoned factory where both parties were expected to converge.

They made efforts to keep Lauren's kidnapping under wraps, fearing it could negatively impact both the Beckett Group and the Harper Group, especially Newton. They knew he wouldn't take it well, and the risk of angering the kidnappers and endangering Lauren was too great.

During the journey, Jasper learned from Landon that Cornelius might have come to harm, prompting him to call the police.

Alyssa, on the verge of hysteria, fought back tears. Her mind raced, trying to comprehend how a seemingly innocent date had turned into a nightmare. Who dared to kidnap Lauren right under Cyrus' watch?

"Landon said Sylvia went to Primrose Manor to discuss her divorce with Preston, only to stumble upon Preston and his secretary handling Mr. Harper Senior's body," Jasper explained, holding Alyssa's hand. His gaze was grave.

"I can't fathom how someone could murder their own father for money. Preston doesn't even deserve a place in hell!" Alyssa seethed with anger.
