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."

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🙄...
