Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2047

In the following days, Alyssa and Jasper split up to attend to their own tasks.

Although Jasper didn't openly defy Javier anymore, he continued to fan the flames behind the scenes. He was determined to use the spotlight of public attention to flush Jameson out of his dark hideout.

This day, as Jasper was preparing to attend a meeting, he received an unexpected call from Colene.

"Madam Colene." His voice was calm and polite.

Unlike her usual sharp-tongued self, Colene was surprisingly gentle in her treatment of Jasper. She even showed a hint of remorse.

"Jasper, I haven't properly thanked you for last time. If it weren't for you showing up on time, the Ivory would have been swindled by that dickhead Jameson.

"I still shudder at the thought. If we really lose the Ivory… I don't know how my dad could go on living. I'll be too embarrassed to face Winston."

"Don't say that, Madam Colene. Everything I did was only right," Jasper replied humbly. "The trust that you, Winston, and all the Taylors have placed in me, allowing me to reconcile with Lyse, is enough for me to spend my whole life repaying you."

Xavier, standing nearby, couldn't help but marvel inwardly.

Jasper used to stumble over sweet talk and flattery, but now, he was effortlessly smooth with it, as if it came naturally to him.

"Jasper, please don't say that. It'll only make me feel even more guilty."

After a deep breath, Colene said resolutely, "I called to thank you and to pass on a message from my dad. He's going to hold a press conference tonight and reveal everything about The Ivory's recent ordeal with the illegal drugs."

Jasper was taken aback. "This is a serious matter. You need to think it over carefully."

"My dad knew you would say that. Exposing The Ivory's secrets could attract police and prosecutorial investigations. But my dad is really tired.

"He's ready to face whatever comes, even if it means risking jail time, just to show how dangerous this drug really is. And with The Ivory in such a mess, we need to tear it down and start fresh for a brighter tomorrow."
