One minute later, Sean came back out of the room. His expression was conflicted as he looked at Jasper. "Ms. Alyssa doesn't want to see you. Please leave."
Jasper balled his hands into fists. "Why?"
Sean sniggered coldly. "Why? Maybe because she's finally woken up. She doesn't want to make the same mistake twice or lose her dignity by chasing after a man who gives her nothing but indifference."
Jasper's face paled, and he fell silent.
Sean's heart ached as he remembered all the suffering Alyssa had endured recently. His eyes welled with unshed tears.
Struggling to suppress his anger, Sean said, "Mr. Beckett, Ms. Alyssa is completely exhausted. Since she doesn't want to see you, please just leave. Don't bother her anymore."
…
In the study at Seaview Manor, Sheryl laid out all her findings for Justin without holding back.
"I have reason to believe that the woman named Clara Whitaker is actually Jameson's substitute for Alyssa—Amber Altman!"
Sheryl watched Justin, who was sitting behind the desk, working on a piece of calligraphy writing with his head down. He had a composed look in his eyes.
Through gritted teeth, she continued, "No wonder she was so hostile when she saw me today. If she's Amber, it all makes sense now."
"I'm not bothered by her rudeness," she added, "but I'm concerned that she might have caught on. Don't you think she seemed slightly panicked when she met you earlier?"
"She's finally freed herself from Jameson's control. After everything she's gone through, she's found a chance at a new beginning with Mr. Axel." Justin's pen moved smoothly across the paper as he wrote "Lyse" in elegant strokes. "Naturally, her first instinct would be to get rid of that face that had put her through so much pain. She doesn't want to live in someone else's shadow anymore.
Sheryl's eyes widened in surprise. "Are you saying that at one glance, you could already tell—"
"I merely had my suspicions. That was why I tasked you to confirm them."
Sheryl was utterly impressed.
At 5:00 am, on a cold winter morning in Solana City, everything remained silent and pitch-black.
Alyssa tossed and turned restlessly on the hospital bed, unable to find any peace in her sleep. After what felt like an eternity, she slowly sat up and climbed out of bed, sluggishly slipping her slippers on.
She was still struggling with her injured leg, so she leaned against the wall as she made her way toward the door.
But when she pushed the door open and looked up, she froze in shock. There, sitting on a cold bench just outside, was Jasper. His eyes were closed, his posture rigid and unmoving.
The dim lighting cast long shadows, highlighting his solitude.
Alyssa's heart skipped a beat, and her breathing became uneven.
Jasper's bloodshot eyes slowly opened when he heard the noise.
Their gazes met.

The readers' comments on the novel: Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
seems to have come to a halt useless...
Where are the chapters please ? Over a week no updates....
Just tell me where to purchase the book I definitely will buy it...
Need more chapters please...
It’s dwindled down to 1 page a day??...
7 chapters a day would be great...
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?...
