Chapter 56
Rosie was taken aback. She couldn’t believe Jasper didn’t see through the cunning girl’s pathetic act. He was indeed a fool.
At this moment, Jasper picked up a black umbrella. His face was calm as he pushed the door open.
“Hey! Mr. Jasper!” Rosie anxiously called out.
Jasper continued to walk out with the umbrella. Rosie was so frustrated she stomped her foot.
Outside the door, Liana sat helplessly in the rain, unable to hold on any longer. But as soon as she saw Jasper walking toward her, she became overjoyed. She turned on her charm and pitifully wept as she collapsed forward.
Jasper’s eyebrows furrowed. He walked up to her. He held the umbrella over her while using the other hand to forcefully lift her from the ground. His demeanor was firm and adamant, so she could not break free even if she wanted to.
“Jasper …” Liana murmured, then threw herself into his embrace.
Just moments ago, she seemed frail. But now, she miraculously revived in his presence. She wrapped her arms tightly around his sturdy waist and leaned against his chest.
A sense of irritability surged in Jasper’s heart, and he spoke softly, “You have a weak body. Staying under the rain will make you sick.”
“You wouldn’t have met me if I didn’t do this. I just wanted to see you. Why won’t you meet me?” Liana raised her pale and miserable face, her gaze filled with panic and confusion. “Jasper … do you no longer love me? Lately, you’ve been cold toward me. Is it because of the incident with the suit? I know I was wrong. I’ll apologize to Alice and beg for her forgiveness. Is that enough?”
“There’s no need. I’m no longer angry,” Jasper said indifferently. “You’ve seen me now, so you can rest assured. Go home and stay with your family. I will find you once things settle down.”
“Jasper, please… save my brother, okay?” Liana realized he was becoming impatient, and her face flushed with anxiety. She put down her pride as a wealthy young lady and clung tightly to his muscular body.
“My brother is about to be sentenced! No lawyer in Solana City dared to defend him because of the Taylor family’s power and influence. They have gone too far and are pushing the Gardner family to the edge! Jasper, you must help us! My family is almost bankrupt. Everything will fall apart once my brother goes to prison! Please, I beg you.”
Jasper’s gaze remained cold and firm, his tall figure unwavering.
Some might call him heartless, but his love for Liana was persistent. He had kept his promise as a young man until he turned thirty, even if it meant hurting another woman who deeply loved him, and even if it meant bearing the title of an unfilial grandson, he was determined to marry her.
Some might call him compassionate, but he was impartial and resolute when it came to official matters. The Gardner family committed a crime, and he showed no mercy. He was as cold and decisive as a judge in the court of law.
“The Taylor family is innocent, and your brother is the one who brought this upon himself. I suggest he confess and seek a lighter sentence. That’s the right thing to do. As for the Gardner family, your family should reflect on their mistakes. One rotten apple spoils the bunch. Even if I were to give you another billion, there’s no hope if you don’t address the issues within your own family.”
But she was wrong this time. Jasper used to be lenient with her because she hadn’t crossed a line. But once she overstepped her
In the end, Jasper forced Liana, still crying, into the car, instructing the driver to lock the doors. He watched her leave with a tense
expression, and only then did he sigh a breath of relief.
He stood in the rain with the black umbrella for a long time, remembering the disappointed look in Alice’s eyes. There was a pang in his

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 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽...
