That night, Sheryl was brought into an interrogation room adjacent to Jasper's for questioning.
Rio was Gabe's subordinate, but he wasn't privy to the full details of the situation. All he knew was that completing this task could give him an edge over his rival, Cyrus, and secure his standing within Gabe's ranks.
To Rio, Cyrus was nothing more than a privileged man from a prestigious family, competing unfairly with those less fortunate. Rio was determined to prove himself superior, showing Cyrus how he dealt with Jasper, his future brother-in-law, and forcing him to admit defeat.
Fearless in the face of wealth and authority, Rio boldly took on the president of Beckett Group, Jasper. He believed such audacity would earn him public admiration and a sterling reputation.
However, Rio never considered the possibility that Sheryl might have her own stakes in this matter. To him, she was just another suspect.
"Mr. Beckett claims you provided him with the drugs," Rio began, his tone stern. "What do you have to say about that?"
Sheryl acted as if she was hearing this for the first time. She blinked innocently. "I didn't! I have no idea why he would say that. I've never given him any drugs. Officer, could this be his attempt to deflect blame and drag me down with him? You shouldn't just take his word for it and accuse me unfairly. I'm innocent!"
Rio's voice hardened. "You are his private physician. You have unrestricted access to Seaview Manor and can come and go freely. You had both the opportunity and motive to plant narcotics in his office.
"Our investigation reveals that only you and his secretary, Xavier Hall, had regular access to his office. Furthermore, your specialization aligns with the origins of Crystal Ice, which began as a sedative and central nervous system medication. Do you really think you can escape suspicion?"
Sheryl's heart sank, but she kept her composure. "So, just because I'm a doctor, I'm automatically a suspect in drug dealing? That's absurd! The medication I prescribed was for headaches and stress relief. If you doubt me, search my home. Investigate my contacts. See if I'm linked to any drug dealers.

The readers' comments on the novel: Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
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...

Why are we literally only getting one chapter a day?!? I mean can we at least get 4 or something? Irritating🙄...
