Ben often heard Newton refer to Alyssa as a heroine, but he never truly believed it. Today, he finally witnessed it with his own eyes. She embodied the strength expected of Winston's daughter. Her commanding presence and intimidating demeanor would have many men humble themselves before her.
"Ms. Alyssa, w-what are you trying to do?" Ben stammered, his voice trembling.
With a stern look in her eyes, Alyssa answered, "Mr. Gorham, besides Grandpa Newton, I believe that you're the only one who knows about Justin's murder. Am I right? I want to know how Mildred actually died. How did you and Grandpa Newton dispose of her body?"
Ben clenched his teeth, remaining silent.
"Even if you refuse to speak, my family and I can find out. It's only a matter of time." Alyssa forced a slight smile. "Once I discover the truth, I can't guarantee what the consequences will be."
"Ms. Alyssa, this is a serious matter! This incident involves Mr. Newton and threatens the entire Beckett family's reputation. If word gets out, the corporation could be in grave danger.
"Mr. Newton's health has been declining. If anything were to happen to Beckett Group, he wouldn't be able to take it!" Ben was on the brink of tears.
With a fiery gaze, Alyssa said, "Grandpa Newton trusts me and dotes on me. To me, he is as important as my father. I know my limits, and I'll ensure that Grandpa Newton remains unharmed."
After a brief hesitation, Ben shut his eyes tightly. Finally, he spoke. "It was a stabbing."
"How many times? Once? Twice?"
"More than ten… I can't remember the exact count but there were stab wounds all over her neck, chest, and lower abdomen. I just remember that the carpet was soaked in her blood."
A wave of fury surged within Alyssa. She inhaled sharply.
Just by looking at Justin's appearance and gentlemanly demeanor, no one could associate him with such ruthless and psychotic behavior.
"Mr. Justin is Mr. Newton's oldest grandson, so he was important to him too. Mr. Newton had no choice but to do all he could to keep this incident a secret."
Ben leaned back weakly. "I cleaned up the crime scene and burned the bloody carpet. We staged it to look like she committed suicide by jumping off a building.
"Then, through connections, we had a death certificate issued before sending her body to a crematorium for immediate cremation."
The subsequent events were already made known.

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🙄...
