Alyssa’s round eyes turned cold. She gave Landon a deadpan look.
Jasper noticed his indecent behavior, and his face turned dark!
“How did I do just now?” Landon returned to Jasper’s side with a grin, nudging his elbow.
“Great. I’ll kill you if you try that again,” Jasper replied with a chilling glint in his eyes.
Landon felt hopeless as he said, “Why are you always picking on me? You’re harder to deal with. than all the hundreds of girlfriends I’ve had combined!”
Soon, the first auction item was presented to the audience.
It was a landscape painting from the 20th century. It was a simple brushwork painting that captured the essence of the scenery, truly a masterpiece. But, the artist wasn’t famous, so the
starting price was only one million dollars.
Jasper’s interest in antique artworks was limited. However, he had his fair share of knowledge
since his grandfather and father were both avid collectors.
He immediately recognized the painting upon seeing it. There was an identical one in his
grandfather’s studio, an authentic piece. The one being auctioned was most likely a well–crafted
replica.
Replicas and fakes were quite different. High–quality replicas could fetch high prices, but it was
unlikely in the presence of authentic work.
“One million five hundred thousand!”
“Two million!”
“Three million!”
Just as the auctioneer was about to hammer down, a clear and gentle voice rang out
“Five million.” Alyssa casually raised her paddle. She surprised everyone with her bid.
Jasper glanced at Alyssa’s face and felt suspicious.
First, the painting wasn’t worth five million. The three million was already too much.
Second, Alice had spent so much time with his grandfather. She helped him manage his
treasures, antiques, and paintings. She must know his grandfather had the authentic piece.
So why would she spend her money on this replica?
It was just the first item. Shouldn’t they wait and view the others?

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...
