The following day, Xavier hurriedly knocked on Jasper's office door at the Beckett Group, announcing, "Mr. Beckett, you wanted me to look into—Argh!"
Xavier trailed off with a scream. It was too late to stop Jasper, who was seated on the table and casually lifting a pastry out of the dirty box.
With a satisfied crunch, Jasper took a massive bite of the pastry and scrunched up his eyes in enjoyment.
"Oh god! How could you eat the food you picked from the trashcan?" Xavier warned him.
"Only the box is dirty. The pastries are fine," Jasper replied nonchalantly as he took another bite.
The pastries tasted delightful, but too bad they weren't for him.
Bitterness welled up inside him. He had once been dismissive of Alyssa's daily efforts in crafting these desserts. Now, he found himself rummaging through the trash can just to get a taste. How did he get to this point?
"Go ahead. How's the investigation?" Jasper put away the remaining pastries and questioned leisurely.
"Ahem. After using both carrots and sticks, the owner of the verified account offered up an important clue!"
"Don't beat around the bush."
"He said he received the photos of the wedding venue through an anonymous message. He claimed he was only a messenger who had no idea about the leaker."
"How did you spend your free time?" Jasper looked up coldly.
"Huh?" Xavier was taken aback.

The readers' comments on the novel: Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
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🙄...
Hello, more chapters please. It has been over 1 week since we have received 7 chapters. Thank you...
