Dripping in sweat, Xavier went up and stood behind Jasper right away. He stared fixedly at the screen of the computer.
After inserting the memory card, Jasper fast-forwarded to check the surveillance recording and listen to the recorded sounds.
"Mr. Beckett, the dashcam can only record scenes outside the car and not anything from within the car. All we can listen to are the sounds.
"If anyone had actually pried the doors open and snuck into the car to install anything, we wouldn't be able to see anything, " Xavier said, feeling quite troubled.
Seconds and minutes passed.
Just as Xavier was about to nod off from watching all the footage, Jasper exclaimed, "The video has been edited."
Xavier jolted awake. He licked his lips to stop himself from drooling. "Oh? But it doesn't look like there are any differences between the earlier and later images."
With a cold look in his eyes, Jasper lowered his earphones. "It's subtle, but the airflow sounds don't match up between the earlier and later parts."
Jasper's visual and hearing acuity was top-notch, so much so that he could actually qualify as a master of martial arts.
"You're awesome, Mr. Beckett!"
Wide-eyed and mouth agape, Xavier gave Jasper the thumbs-up. At the same time, he was terrified. "Who could be so daring to do such a thing right under your nose when the car was being parked at Seaview Manor?"
There was a beep.
Jasper's gaze was firm as his fingers tapped the keyboard speedily. Rows and rows of data appeared on the black screen.
Xavier held his breath and focused on watching Jasper display his hacking skills. His heart started to race just by watching him.
"Mr. Beckett, you're amazing. If only Madam was here to watch, I'm certain she would fall head over heels for you!"
"That's rubbish. Her computer skills can knock people's socks off. I am just a nobody compared to her."
Jasper's fingers paused.
The image of Alyssa showing off her hacking skills before him for the first time came to mind. He thought of that speed of her fingers and her bright and confident smile that took his breath away.
That was the stunning Alyssa Taylor, who was one-of-a-kind, and even now, the memory of her brilliance stirred emotions deep within him.
Xavier blinked. He pursed his lips together and giggled silently.
The trauma to Jasper's brain destroyed the emotional center of his brain. Yet, it could not wipe out his undying love for Alyssa deep in his heart.
"I knew it. Mr. Justin was harboring evil intentions. He returned to steal your power. He's just a big bad wolf sitting in a wheelchair!"
Xavier was burning in anger. "Not only does he want to steal your power, but he also wants to steal Madam from you. He wants to take all that belongs to you!"
Jasper staggered, his breath growing uneven. Was it the realization of Justin's manipulative schemes or the idea that Justin might be trying to take Alyssa from him that left him shaken?
"I was the one who wanted to break up." Jasper lowered his eyes, his jaw tight as if holding on to that single truth.
"But he played tricks behind your back and plotted against you. These are facts that you cannot deny!"
Xavier was about to fly off the handle. "If he dared to tamper with your car, what's stopping him from hiding a camera in your study the next time?
"This time, he messed up your date with Madam. What will he do next time? Would he mess up your project and then take the opportunity to drag you down so that, as the oldest sibling, he can take advantage of the situation to become the person in charge of Beckett Group? Doesn't that make you nervous?"
Every question was stirring something up in Jasper's heart.
If the purpose of Justin's return this time was to take away that which belonged to him, why did he give his all to save him from the kidnappers back then?
Had Justin always been like this? Or had his heart hardened over the years, changing him from the kind brother he once was?

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?...
