"Indeed, I am. Is there a problem with that?" Jasper's nonchalant reply nearly gave Javier and Sophia heart attacks.
Sophia stared resentfully at Jasper's indifferent look as she lurked behind Javier like a ghost. Her eyes held an ominous quality as if she were bestowing an evil curse upon Jasper.
Javier shook in rage as he growled, "Jasper Beckett, have you forgotten your roots?"
Jasper snickered. "Thanks for reminding me over and over again that I'm your son. Otherwise, I might have forgotten."
"You ungrateful brat!" With his eyes burning with anger and a dizzying sensation overwhelming him, Javier pointed at Jasper. He seethed, "I'll ask you one last time—are you dead set on attending the Taylor Family's event this weekend?"
"Oh, dear child, how can you be so wrong?" Sophia seized the right timing and put on the façade of a worried mother. "It's not my party that I care about. But you knew your dad and Winston don't get along well, and Alyssa has been giving us trouble repeatedly.
"Why would you side with them during such a crucial time? You, missing our event as the company president, will only be a disgrace to your father!"
Jasper retorted in a frosty tone and a glare, "Sophia, if you don't care about the party, why don't you call it off?
"You, your daughter, and your relatives have been abusing your power, causing scandals our company struggles to recover from.
"You have pushed the company to the forefront of public scrutiny and hurt our operations.
"Your reputation stinks in Solana City, so why would you choose to throw a high-profile event for your birthday? You should lie low instead. Do you take the netizens as fools? They remember."
"You—You—" Sophia balled her shaky fists in a fit of rage.
Initially, Javier was somewhat swayed by Jasper's argument, but his sentiments shifted when Jasper added, "While my father might be willing to make sacrifices for you out of love, don't expect the rest of the family to go along with your behavior."
Sophia nearly passed out from the provocation.

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...
