Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2024

"Ms. Alyssa, I've got the information you requested," Sean said, casting a quick glance at the attorney.

The attorney understood and stood up instantly. "Mr. Beckett, Ms. Alyssa, since Mr. Marc appointed me, I will do my absolute best for Mr. Nathan's case. I'll have to take my leave now; my apologies."

Sean sent off the attorney while Alyssa and Jasper quickly flipped through the documents.

Alyssa said, "This is the information that I asked Sean to investigate and gather on Nicholas."

Jasper arched his eyebrows in surprise. "Lyse, we're thinking the same thing. I was thinking after investigating The Ivory Gang, I'd continue the investigation on this Novak guy. You're so smart."

After he finished, he couldn't help but peck her lips. It wasn't enough for him, so he kissed her again.

"Hah! How could I follow in your footsteps if I weren't smart enough?"

Alyssa pouted with some arrogance, then nuzzled against Jasper's cheek. "This is a difficult battle, so I can't let you handle everything. I want to shoulder as much of the burden as I can."

Instantly, Jasper's eyes became watery as he felt a rush of emotions.

He would rather his lover be innocent and live a leisurely life. It would be enough for him to pamper and indulge her.

Alyssa was driven by righteousness and would strive to bring justice. He felt guilty about not being able to provide a peaceful life for her.

Alyssa studied the documents and suddenly squinted her eyes. "Mrs. Novak has Alzheimer's?"

Sean nodded solemnly. "Yes. After I got to know this, I secretly paid a visit to her nursing home and I even found out more information.

"The caretakers at the nursing home say that Chief Novak and his wife have a very strong relationship. Although she was ill for many years and couldn't even take care of herself, he remained steadfast and loyal. No matter how dirty or tiring it can be to take care of her, he will do it himself. They are moved by his love, yet they also feel pity for the couple."

This piece of information was a surprise to Jasper and Alyssa.

Nicholas was a man of great stature, and his looks were stunning. As a man in his 40s, he was in the prime of his life and had great potential. Publicly and privately, he had countless women throwing themselves at him, wanting to raise their status by gaining the revered title of being the chief's wife.

Who could have expected that he was such a devoted romantic? He was dedicated to his wife. He had neither private scandals nor traces of wrongdoing in his political life.

No matter how they looked at it, Nicholas was a blameless and upstanding man and husband.

"How is Mrs. Novak doing?" As Alyssa read the document, she asked.

"Not good." Sean's brows were knitted tightly. "Her Alzheimer's is in the late stages. Chief Novak spent almost his entire fortune treating her and visited every famous physician in the world. Alas, his efforts were for nothing.
