Newton's eyes widened as he clenched his fists. "Alyssa… you—"
"I saw and heard everything that happened at the cemetery today."
Alyssa took a deep breath, her voice steady. "Grandpa Newton, was what Ms. Rollins said true? Did Justin really cause her daughter's death?"
Newton's pupils constricted. He closed his eyes, as if trying to avoid Alyssa's questions.
Alyssa's gaze sharpened. "Grandpa Newton, your reaction has already answered my question."
Newton remained silent.
"I know what's on your mind. Justin is Mr. Javier's eldest son, and he grew up right alongside you. Even though you might favor Jasper, you wouldn't want something from the past to tarnish Justin's reputation. After all, he was still a minor back then. No matter what he's done, as a Beckett, you'll do anything to protect him."
Alyssa's words hit the mark, each one piercing with precision. She continued, "But you also believe his actions were unforgivable. You've been angry but too afraid to expose him. Keeping this secret for so many years must have been agonizing.
"Yet, I know you still have a kind heart. You can't bear to hurt anyone. Otherwise, you wouldn't have braved the cold and snow to visit that woman's grave if you didn't care, even though you weren't feeling well."
Suddenly, it all clicked for Alyssa. No wonder Newton had always been so cautious around Justin. With such a terrible secret weighing on him, how could he not be tense and guarded?
Newton gritted his teeth, struggling for words.
Seeing his distress, Alyssa pressed on. "If you won't tell me the truth, the only option I have is to approach the victim's family for answers."

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...
