The atmosphere in the room was oppressive, the air seemingly turning ice cold.
The tension was so thick that it felt as if it could be cut with a knife.
"What do you think?" The smile on Justin's face widened as his roguish gaze fixed on Jasper from behind.
Instead of answering him directly, Jasper delivered a more cutting response. He scoffed. "I get it now."
Tilting his sculpted chin upward, a vicious gleam flashed in his eyes. "Someday in the future, you'll regret the decision you made 20 years ago."
Justin's brows furrowed deeply at the remark.
"That was your one and only chance to get rid of me. Too bad you missed it."
With that, Jasper turned on his heel and strode off, exuding the confidence of a lone ranger.
As the door swung shut, Justin tightened his grip on the pen, the veins on the back of his hand pulsating with tension.
…
After finishing work that morning, Alyssa learned about Jasper's bail through the trending topics on Twitter. At the same time, a shocking announcement from Beckett Group sent the internet into a frenzy.
The announcement read, "Due to issues related to Mr. Jasper Beckett's personal conduct, Beckett Group's board of directors has voted to dismiss him as CEO of the corporation. Further, through another vote, the board has appointed Mr. Justin Beckett as the new CEO of Beckett Group."
The appointment was decisive and final.

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...
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🙄...
