Can't Win Me Back



"Mr. Jasper, why do you say so?" Sheryl lifted her head and looked into Jasper's reddened eyes. She furrowed her brows and laughed out loud. "White Dove is from Solana City. This is also something that I wasn't able to predict. If I had known, I wouldn't have gotten you to make a trip here in vain, would I?"

Sheryl was no longer that conniving bitch who used to act coy. Now, she had a powerful person backing her up. Jasper's violent rage did not scare her at all.

"Why the hell didn't you say anything earlier?"

Xavier marched forward furiously. He was even more inclined to serve her a slap.

"Did you know that Mr. Beckett had an important date with Madam today? He only rushed her because of your stupid lead! Right now, you're telling us that White Dove isn't in Skydon but Solana City? What the heck are you scheming? Were you trying to ruin Mr. Beckett and Madam's date intentionally?"

"Madam? Haven't Mr. Jasper and Ms. Alyssa broken up? Is it right for you to be referring to her as 'Madam'?"

Sheryl's gaze was frigid. All she could think of was how repulsive that word was. She continued, "Plus, how could I have known that they were supposed to meet? And even if they had a date, finding the person who saved Mr. Jasper's life must surely be more important to him, don't you think?"

Reality also proved that today, in Jasper's heart, White Dove was a hundred times more important than Alyssa. That bitch who caused her to almost die out on the streets was now probably standing in the chilling winds and experiencing the pain of being abandoned by her beloved.

At this thought, the blood in Sheryl's veins thrummed with excitement.

The expression on Jasper's face darkened while a look of annoyance surged within his eyes. His gaze was sharp and vicious, like a demon's.

He did not have any emotions.

But that did not mean that he would not become infuriated.

Sheryl fell backward, and she let out a cry.

In the next second, Jasper shoved her hard onto the couch, resulting in her hitting the back of her neck against the wooden frame of the couch's backing.

She inhaled sharply because of the pain.

"Ms. Gillis, you'd better pray that the woman who saved my life is actually in Solana City."Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

With a gloomy gaze, Jasper left Sheryl with this warning before he turned around and dashed out of the door.

With an evil look in her eyes, Sheryl glared at Jasper from behind as she reached back to massage her neck, which was hurting because of the impact.

Hah. Impotent rage.

So what if he let out his rage on her? She had completed the task that Justin assigned to her.

Moreover, why was he being mad?

Wasn't he the one who broke his promise and abandoned Alyssa?

Jasper's strides widened with every step, so much so that he eventually almost started sprinting.

It was an extremely cold day with a temperature of -4 degrees Fahrenheit. Even so, he was so rushed that he broke out in sweat, drenching his entire suit.

Just as he got to his car, his phone rang.

A drop of sweat trickled down Jasper's jaw as he panted. He pulled out his phone from his chest pocket.

It was Sean calling.

"Hello? Mr. Lynch,." Despite his uneasiness, Jasper pretended to be calm as he answered the phone. "Jasper, where's Ms. Alyssa?"

The sound of Sean's anxious voice traveled into Jasper's ear. "Why am I able to get through to you but not to Ms. Alyssa? Didn't the both of you go hiking together?"

Jasper stumbled. He could feel the throbbing in his veins on his temples. He pushed his hands against the car door.

"I came to Skydon City. I did not go hiking."

"You didn't go hiking? Why not?"

"Something came up at the last minute. I sent Ms. Alyssa a message earlier to inform her. She should have seen it."

Jasper was not trying to shirk from any responsibilities. He was simply stating the facts. "I was the one who wronged her by bailing on her. I will make it up to her when I get back to Solana City."

'Make it up to her? Jasper, do you even hear yourself?"

Sean flew into a rage. He rebuked, "When you divorced Ms. Alyssa back then, you rushed to court even after you met with a traffic accident and suffered a concussion.

"Having been together for such a long time, you have always put her first. Even if Beckett Group went bankrupt, or if the world crumbled, you would not leave Ms. Alyssa alone!

"What's going on now? Is she just a burden to you, something you can toss away because you don't love her anymore? How could you neglect her like this?"

Jasper's lips were quivering. He felt really short of breath, as if someone had their hands clamped around his neck.

"Where is she right now? I'll head back to see her."

'My calls aren't going through to her. I cannot reach her!"

Although Sean was usually Alyssa's reliable and calm subordinate, he was in a panic right now. "There's a snowstorm happening tonight. Being stubborn as a mule, Ms. Alyssa must have gone hiking on her own. I'm on my way to Crater Mountain as we speak!"

Jasper's head started buzzing, and a splitting pain spread through his head, making his body shiver.
