Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1990

Jasper and Alyssa hastily bid farewell to Newton, then sped off to the police station with Sean at the wheel.

"Jasper, did you do something stupid?"

Alyssa, being extremely astute, hit the nail on the head. She glared at Jasper's darkened face. "I know Xavier. He wouldn't dare do anything against your wishes. How could he possibly touch that stuff? Did you ask him to buy it?"

Feeling anxious, Jasper gripped her delicate fingers tightly while gazing intensely at her. "Lyse, I did tell him to buy it, but I didn't expect him to do it himself."

"That fool!" Sean, who was driving, was both anxious and angry. He slammed the steering wheel hard.

"Even those unpopular celebrities who want drugs would have their managers handle it, going through layers of middlemen. One slip-up could tank their whole career, after all.

"But Xavier really is brave. He actually went to buy it himself so openly. Does he think Solana City's police force is useless? Doesn't he know that they have been cracking down on drugs recently?"

Alyssa's palms were sweaty, and her heartbeat quickened. "And that's not even the scariest part. The whole of Solana City knows that Xavier is your secretary.

"If this matter gets out, regardless of whether Xavier takes all the blame, people will think that you instructed him to buy drugs. They'll even suspect that you're a hypocritical drug addict."

Jasper frowned deeply. His eyes were red-rimmed.

He wasn't afraid of verbal attacks or malicious plots against him. He was only afraid that Xavier would really, as Alyssa said, take all the blame.

"This is such a big mess. Jamiper must be laughing in his dreams. He didn't even need to lift a finger to cause us trouble. Our own stupidity played right into his hands."

Alyssa was burning with anxiety. "Jasper, if you needed that stuff, you could have told me. I could have asked Colene. She has connections with the Ivory Gang, after all. Or you could have told Landon. He has connections on both sides of the law.

"You shouldn't have hidden it from me, and you definitely shouldn't have involved Xavier in this mess. If he makes a slight mistake, even you will take a big fall!"
