Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2350

Tension rose within the empty underground parking lot.

An incandescent bulb cast a harsh white light from the ceiling, drawing an invisible line between Justin and Jasper, separating their worlds—one of harsh light, the other of oppressive darkness.

Sheryl's chest tightened. Instinctively, she lowered her gaze to Justin.

Nonetheless, Justin remained relaxed. He glanced at Jasper with a grim face and said calmly, "As long as it's something I wish to find out, I will have countless ways to do so. Not only did I find out about the promise between you two, but I am also privy to even more of Ms. Alyssa's secrets."

His declaration was a clear display of his ambition and more subtly, a challenge to Jasper.

Jasper's breath hitched, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white and veins bulged.

"Even though you both were once a pair of lovers, I know her way more than you do," Justin uttered with a smile on his face.

Upon saying that, he turned his face away and signaled to Sheryl to wheel him into the car.

"Justin, do you actually have feelings for Alyssa, or are you only hoping to have control over the people and matters that benefit you?" Jasper questioned in a steady voice as a gleam flickered in his eyes.

Justin simply smiled but did not answer. A mocking look flashed across his eyes.

As Jasper watched Sheryl and Justin get into the car, he finally lost it. He said in a firm and cold voice that reverberated throughout the entire parking lot, "I went head-to-head against Remy on Rose Island.

"At the time, he worked with Jameson to stand in my way and to target the people around me. This had happened more than once.

"When I was on the way to Crater Mountain last night, he showed up once again to stop me from meeting with Alyssa. After that, you showed up in such a timely manner today.

"So, shouldn't I have reason to believe that Jameson and Remy were both under your control and that you were the mastermind behind them?"

Jasper's voice echoed through the icy air.

As Sheryl sat in the car, her heart pounded like mad. She was too afraid to even take a peek in Jasper's direction.

"Jasper, I really admire you for having such an extraordinary imagination."

The dim lighting concealed Justin's pale face. All Jasper could hear was the sound of him stifling a laugh. "But it makes me really disappointed to hear a question like this from you."

Jasper frowned.

"Justin, I won't say anything if you're pursuing Alyssa through honest means. But if you're using manipulation, coercion, or harm to get to her, I won't allow it. The last man who did whatever it took to win her was Jameson, and we all know how that ended."

Upon hearing that, Justin's smile froze on his face. His eyes turned red as he asked, "Jasper, are you regretting your decision? Are you still in love with her?"

"It doesn't matter whether or not I am still in love with her. I cannot allow anyone to hurt her no matter what, even indirectly."

As Jasper said those words, a stiff smile came across his emotionless face. Even so, he still looked charming and graceful. "But if the attacks are directed toward me, I will not shrink back. I will face them head-on."

Justin wound up his car window slowly as he sped away on his luxurious ride.

Right after they got out of the parking lot, Justin raised his well-defined hand and slapped Sheryl hard across her face.

Sheryl was in so much pain that she started seeing stars. Her cheeks became swollen, and blood oozed from the corner of her lips.

Having been a follower of Justin's for such a long time, this was his first time hitting her. Not only that, he had hit her so hard!

"I have reminded you multiple times to keep your mouth shut when it comes to things that you shouldn't speak of. However, it seems like your memory is failing you."
