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.

The readers' comments on the novel: Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
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?...
Why are we literally only getting one chapter a day?!? I mean can we at least get 4 or something? Irritating🙄...
