Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 31

Chapter 31

“I told Ms. Gardner not to touch the box on the headboard because it’s important to you.” Rosie looked at the angry Liana ambiguously.

Rosie intentionally mentioned how much Jasper cared about Alice’s gift to provoke Liana into revealing the truth.

“I threw it away,” Liana confessed angrily, just as Rosie had anticipated.

Fury filled Jasper’s eyes as he asked, “Where is it?”

“Jasper, why do you care about a gift from Alice? You’re divorced. I’m your fiancée. Have you considered my feelings when you cherish her

gifts?” Her eyes became teary. Her acting was so natural, thanks to Sophia’s teaching.

“I’m asking you. Where is it?” Jasper’s tone turned cold, and he ignored her tears.

Shocked, she forgot to keep up her act and stammered, “I-It’s in the trash bin in the backyard

Jasper ran to the backyard. He was drenched in the rain instantly. He rolled up his sleeves and searched through the trash bin for the box.

“Jasper! Stop! Look how filthy it is!” Liana yelled from the corridor.

Filthy? Perhaps, the Beckett family didn’t know how many trash bins he rummaged through when he was five.

As an illegitimate child, he and his mother had to survive those days by selling recyclable items.

Jasper grew up in the dump. He was so familiar with the environment that he found nothing wrong with it.

Finally, he found the box covered in dirt. He sighed in relief.

Rosie rushed over with an umbrella to shelter him from the rain. He couldn’t help the urge to open the box. Almost instantly, his eyes

turned red, and his expression darkened.

The once ironed and clean suit had been cut into rags!

He turned his gaze toward Liana, who retreated in fear. His sharp gaze was suffocating her.

Without a word, he walked past her with the box.

She mustered the courage to hug the man. “Jasper, have you fallen for Alice? Did you regret divorcing her?”
