Chapter 491
After offering some health advice to Newton, Alyssa left the room. Jasper wasted no time and quickly caught up to her. He said curtly, “I’ll send you home.”
Alyssa had held back from lashing out at Jasper in front of Newton. Now, she finally exploded and
jumped back while pointing a finger at his face.
She yelled, “Naw!”
Jasper was a little confused by the sound she made.
She pursed her lips awkwardly. It appeared she had accidentally uttered “no” with an accent, but the meaning was clear.
“I don’t need your help. I’m an adult who knows my way home!”
“It’s late at night. I’ll see you home,” insisted Jasper, who took a step forward.
Alyssa’s anger flared as she recalled how Jasper had pulled her into a hug earlier.
She seethed and dusted her shoulders, confronting him, “I didn’t lash out at you not because I condoned your behavior. I did it for Grandpa’s sake. Don’t take a mile when I give you an inch!
“I’m already pissed at Simon and Betty, and I’d take it out on anything that crosses my path. Come any closer, and I’ll give you a piece of my mind.”
She thought she sounded authoritative, but Jasper thought she was being hilarious.
“Let me know if Simon becomes a bother. I’ll handle him for you,” he whispered.
“No, thanks! That’s between the Taylors and Lynches. You should stay out of it and mind your own
business!”
Her words carried a tinge of bitterness. She was reminded of how Jasper had humiliated Simon in front
of the Becketts to defend her.
On second thought, Jasper’s actions were likely driven by his own interests. Alyssa had noticed that
Javier seemed keen on hiring Simon for a role within the Beckett Group.
With Simon as their legal counsel, he would become a valuable asset to Javier’s team, much to Jasper’s
disadvantage.
This realization prompted a smirk from her.
1/3
Just as Jasper was about to approach her, he was stopped by a stern voice coming from behind.
“Jasper!”
He knitted his brows and turned around to see Javier shuffling up to him. Javier ordered, “Come to the
study. i need to have a talk with you.”
“Later. I’ll send Ms. Alyssa home,” replied Jasper coolly without giving in.
“Hah, she doesn’t need your help. She’s already left!”
Jasper spun around, flabbergasted.
That slick woman was nowhere to be seen.
Alyssa wandered out of Seaview Manor with a flat expression.
“Ms. Alyssa.”
She stopped in her tracks and watched coldly as Simon approached her. He looked amused.
“I don’t care if you are happy with the outcome or not. I helped free Ms. Betty. It’s not embarrassing to lose to me, you know.”

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...
