"You cannot allow the others to read your mind through your actions. It's a risky behavior," Javier cautioned Betty.
"Got it, Dad."
Then, Javier made a video call to Jasper. Jasper's stoic face appeared on the screen.
Seeing that, Betty clung tighter onto Javier's arm in an attempt to put on the act of a loving family.
Jasper ignored her and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Your sister has secured the partnership with Ada Kingsley. We just need you to formalize the agreement," Javier instructed him. "Meet her as soon as you can and close the deal."
"You won't need me at all if Ada is on board," Jasper answered with a smirk. "Congratulations in advance, Betty. You've won a project from Alyssa that will surely help your career.
"As you are a capable woman, I will leave the contract signing to you. I wouldn't want to steal your thunder."
Betty smoldered in anger, but without Jasper's help, she could not resolve the awkward situation with Ada.
"Jasper, Betty is your little sister. She's done her best to move the deal to this stage. Can't you lend her a helping hand?" Javier hissed, anger burning in his eyes.
"She is responsible for the outcome of this partnership. There is no free lunch in this world. How can you expect me to do the dirty work while she takes all the credit?"
Javier was nettled when Jasper talked back to him. He bellowed, "Jasper Beckett!"

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...
Just wonder what happened to publish 7 chap/day...
