Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1991

Cyrus sat at the edge of his desk with his arms crossed while looking at Jasper and Alyssa with a grave expression.

"Firstly, we found drugs on him, and the member of the Ivory Gang named Harvey Palmer, who sold him the drugs, is also stubbornly accusing Xavier. The evidence against him is solid.

"Secondly, with the recent crackdown on drugs, Xavier happened to fall right into the crosshairs. Chief Novak specifically instructed not to let any black sheep off the hook, regardless of their background or identity."

"Xavier's case must be completely sealed off from the public." Alyssa's gaze was sharp.

Cyrus shook his head in frustration. "Before you two arrived, several reporters came to snoop around, but I had my people chase them away. But I think the news got out somehow. How else would those reporters know to come poking around?

"What's even trickier is that higher-ups found out Xavier is connected to Jasper. Considering my relationship with Jasper, I'm not allowed to intervene in this case. Even the officers questioning him in the interrogation room are not under my command. If I want to intervene, I don't know where to start."

At this, both Jasper's and Alyssa's expressions darkened. Both of them felt that there was a hint of conspiracy in this whole affair.

"We must find a way to clear Xavier's name now. At the very least, we must get him released on bail. Otherwise, Jasper will soon get dragged into it." Cyrus truly regarded Jasper as family, so he was filled with worry.

"Sean's appearance as Xavier's attorney can only buy us time. It won't solve the fundamental problem."

The usually omnipotent daughter of the Taylor family frowned in distress.

Actually, this matter was quite simple.

If Xavier confessed and denied any connection with Jasper, the matter would end there. But Xavier wasn't just any ordinary secretary. He was an extremely important person to Jasper, a comrade-in-arms akin to family.

Jasper would rather take all the blame himself and give up his position as the president of Beckett Group than sacrifice Xavier and let him go to jail.

"Xavier can be released on bail if someone provides false testimony or if the evidence is incomplete, right?" Jasper, who had remained silent, suddenly spoke in a chilling tone.

Cyrus nodded. "In theory, yes."

"Then let's start with the Ivory Gang member." Jasper's face turned terrifyingly grim. "I'll have someone intercept his attorney and find a way to communicate with him."
