Marc paused. He looked up and toward the door in shock.
That strong, dissuasive voice was familiar. It was like a sharp knife that stabbed through Jameson's heart. He gritted his teeth and narrowed his eyes. Slowly, he turned around.
Jasper's cold gaze glanced over him. He stormed into the ward, with Xavier following behind him gallantly.
"Mr. B-Beckett!" In a flash, Marc's defeated eyes lit up.
Even though he had never met this exceptional man, oddly enough, Jasper gave him a sense of peace. After all, everyone knew that Jasper was Winston's future son-in-law.
Winston wouldn't misjudge a person. He was willing to hand his beloved daughter, Alyssa, into Jasper's hands. Clearly, Jasper was an outstanding young man and a hidden gem.
He was unlike the son of a bitch before him, who only looked kind on the outside, but was a cunning viper on the inside.
"What are you doing here, Jasper?" Jameson questioned with a horrified look on his face.
"I'm here for the same purpose as you." Jasper's tone was neutral. He did not sound like he was showing off his power or challenging him.
Even so, he had an air of nobility around him, which inevitably intimidated the people around him.
In comparison, Jameson's sly smile looked overly forced. It was repulsive to look at.
Carl had his fists clenched as he glared at Jasper. Xavier tightened his fists too. He readied himself to have a go at him.
"I heard most of your conversation with Mr. Waters when I was outside earlier."
Jasper lifted the corners of his lips into a smile. A tender and loving gaze flashed across his eyes. "I'm sorry. I was influenced by my wife to eavesdrop. Hope you don't mind, Mr. Waters."
Jameson was enraged. Anger thrummed to his veins, and he became suffocated with rage.
"Of course not! It is my privilege to meet you, Mr. Beckett!" Marc was old enough to be Jasper's father. Yet, he maintained a humble attitude before him.
"Mr. Waters, The Ivory is what you've worked hard your entire life for. You cannot sell it."
Jasper gave Jameson a quick, cold glance. "Even if you wanted to put it up for sale, you can never sell it to someone like Mr. Schmidt. Moreover, not a single word of his can be trusted."
Jameson shot to his feet, and his chair toppled behind him.
"He claims that he will help you with rescuing Mr. Nathan. You will suffer a double whammy if he changes his mind and goes back on his word after you've signed the contract.
"He has used this strategy multiple times. If you do not believe me, you can very well pay a visit to Mr. Josh Schmidt and Ms. Daisy Schmidt in prison. Then, you will get to learn about Jameson's ways."
Marc widened his eyes. He had a sudden revelation. His desperation to save Nathan earlier almost made him fall into Jameson's trap.
He could very well have spoken empty words to deceive him. The probability of him going back on his words was high.
"Please leave, Mr. Schmidt."
Jasper's appearance made his fear of Jameson vanish completely. The sharpness in his eyes returned. "Even if I had to burn Ivory Group to the ground, I will never let you get your hands on it!
"As for Nathan, I believe there is justice in this world. No one can ever be above the law!"
Jameson's plan was so close to success. Thanks to Jasper's interference, he fell at the last hurdle.

The readers' comments on the novel: Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
I am trying to figure out why an author writes one page and it is suppose to be a chapter and then the author gets the audience hooked on the story and just drags it on. Follow the rules please, and at least give the 7 chapters daily. Two chapters every other day is a waste of time. Or just release the book and give us the option to buy it....
Ughhh…can we get more pleeeease! I’m so into this book and literally check daily for updates but it’s only two pages at most. Can you at least do 4 pages a night 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽...
More chapters please the 7 chapters/day would be nice, TY...
Where can i download the remaining chapters?...
Why are we literally only getting one chapter a day?!? I mean can we at least get 4 or something? Irritating🙄...
Hello, more chapters please. It has been over 1 week since we have received 7 chapters. Thank you...
