Jasper and Jonah went to get Sebastian and Xavier out of the car. The four of them then bolted toward the other end of the alley.
A clamor broke out behind them.
Jasper glanced back, his heart pounding.
Warmth surged through his hardened heart as he saw Axel holding his own in a brutal fight against over a dozen assassins, skillfully subduing them one by one.
"Jasper!"
All of a sudden, Jonah stopped in his tracks.
Jasper turned to see what had caught his attention, and his heart sank.
Standing at the alley's end, silhouetted against the light, was a tall figure radiating a presence that commanded fear. Though the man's face was obscured, his unyielding presence was unmistakable. It was Justin's right-hand man, Remy.
"Mr. Beckett, w-what should we do?" Xavier stammered.
With a fierce glint in his eyes, Jonah took a step forward. "I'll hold him back. The rest of you, keep going."
"Xavier, take Dr. Bender to the press conference immediately. Don't let anything stop you." Jasper swallowed hard. He added in a firm, commanding tone, "I'll stay and face Remy with this brother of mine."
Jonah's eyes widened in shock.
Brother? Had he heard Jasper correctly?
Xavier nodded firmly. With tears in his eyes, he said, "Alright, Mr. Beckett. Be extra careful, both of you!"
No matter how reluctant he was, he had no choice but to obey. After all, if a weak link like him stayed behind, he would just be holding everyone back.
Jonah, however, shook his head. "No. You all need to leave. Now."
"I have gone against him more than once. You might not be able to defeat him on your own."
Yet Remy remained eerily calm, his expression devoid of pain. He stared coldly at Jonah, whose face glistened with sweat.
Confusion clouded Remy's features, but one thing was certain—he no longer felt the searing hatred he once harbored for these people.
Jonah froze, his gaze fixed on the extremely familiar face before him. His grip on the dagger tightened.
Even if it meant sacrificing his life, Jonah would not let Remy have the upper hand. With grim determination, Jonah yanked the dagger from Remy's shoulder and raised it again—
"Jonah, wait!" Jasper's voice cut through the tension.
With his eyes fixed on Remy, Jasper saw that Remy had no intention of fighting. He took a breath, steadying his voice as he said, "He's your younger brother. Hold back for now!"

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?...
