Xavier approached Cyrus hastily, his smile stretching from ear to ear when he saw someone from the Taylor family.
"Are you here to see Mr. Beckett? Come upstairs with us!" he invited in an especially friendly manner.
"No need for that," Cyrus replied, his expression stern. He continued formally, "We are here to see Mr. Beckett. We need him to come back to the station to cooperate with our investigation."
By this time, a crowd of Beckett Group's employees had gathered. They all heard Cyrus clearly. He had used the word "cooperate", not "assist". One word made all the difference.
Xavier's mind raced. He instantly lowered his voice and pleaded, "Chief Taylor, this doesn't look good with so many people watching. Can we continue our conversation upstairs?"
Cyrus knitted his brows tightly.
He was extremely well-versed in the procedures.
But this time, Jasper was the person he was taking away personally—the man who almost became his brother-in-law, the one who had risked his life repeatedly for Alyssa's sake.
He hesitated for the very first time.
"I'll go with you people." Jasper walked toward him, looking completely indifferent. He met Cyrus' eyes with a calm, steady gaze.
Cyrus' lips turned pale. An extremely conflicted look filled his eyes, and he couldn't explain the heavy weight pressing on his chest.
Just as two police officers moved toward Jasper, Javier stormed in with Rory and a group of the corporation's top executives.
"You officers are being too reckless! Don't you know where you are?" Javier erupted in rage upon seeing someone from the Taylor family causing trouble. He bellowed, "You've brought a team to take Jasper away for questioning in public.
"He is the president of Beckett Group! Have you considered how this will affect my son's reputation and our corporation? Are you going to be responsible for our losses?
"Mr. Odom, get Beckett Group's legal team here immediately! I will not let this go. You are not allowed to take Jasper away like this!"

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🙄...
