Can't Win Me Back



Alyssa looked into Justin's eyes once again. This time, she was confident, firm, and fearless. "If Jasper wakes up, we will fight alongside one another. If he never wakes up, I will fight on his behalf.

"I will watch over everything that belongs to him. No one can ever dream of getting their hands on his slice of the pie-no one.

This was what she wanted to say when she approached Justin to speak to him privately.

A startled look flashed across Justin's striking face. Then, he chuckled softly. In a slightly relaxed and amused tone, he remarked, "You're right, Ms. Alyssa. No one can take away that which belongs to Jasper."

Alyssa could sense that he was implying something else. The look in her eyes dimmed.

"You want me to take this report and find out the type of medication Jasper had ingested, am I right?"

Justin readily agreed, "Sure. I'll help you out."

Thank you, Justin." Without pausing, Alyssa stepped out of the car.

She watched coldly as Justin's car disappeared into the night, the dark windows reflecting nothing but blackness. Just then, words echoed in her mind-Mosgravia, RC, medication, Jameson Schmidt, and Sir.

To put it bluntly, Jameson was nothing more than Sir's puppet in Cyrris, discarded after serving his purpose. With him defeated, there was no way Sir would abandon the market. He'd find someone new to take the reins.

This wasn't the first time Jasper's life had been in danger, and Justin had never acted before.

Yet, this time, he rushed back after Jasper took the medication. Not only that, he returned to the Beckett family-different. Was this a coincidence, or was he closely related to Sir and RC? This was a point of breakthrough that gave much food for thought.

Alyssa kept having the subtle feeling that Justin would not be her ally regardless of whether Jasper regained consciousness or otherwise.

As for whether he meant serious trouble, this would be something she needed to verify further.

In the car, Sheryl couldn't help but feel worried. 'Sir, Ms. Alyssa had you look into the drug. She's obviously testing you. Who knows if she suspects something about you? Are you really going to tell her what that drug was?"

That's not necessary. My brother will be waking up soon."

Justin closed his eyes to rest for a bit. He scrunched the report in his hands into a ball. "That said, I've really underestimated Ms. Alyssa. I assumed that she would be so devastated and panicked by such a heavy blow that she would become distracted.

"I didn't think that she would be able to gather herself and get herself involved in the battle so quickly. I'm surprised that she even started suspecting me. I'm amazed by how rational and clear-headed she is.

"She really draws me in."

Sheryl, on the other hand, couldn't help but feel alarmed. "Alyssa suspects you? It's only been two days since your retum to Solana City. How could she suspect you so soon?Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

'That's because the timing wasn't right. It's normal to draw suspicion." Justin raised a brow nonchalantly. "We just have to conceal ourselves better next time."

At this time, their luxury car happened to drive into a dark tunnel.

When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back at you."

The alterating light and shadow flickered across Justin's profound-looking face. He stared at his reflection in the window, eyes cold and dangerous, as though seeing someone else. "But unfortunately, I am the abyss."
