Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 388

Xavier fell silent once more.

Jasper took a deep breath and lowered his gaze. "I'll make it up to her, little by little."

…

Jonah and Silas rushed to Alyssa's private villa that night when they heard of her business setback.

Silas was drenched in sweat as he sat in the study. His fingers typed furiously on the keyboard to track down the user information from the leaker's account that Alyssa gave her.

Meanwhile, Alyssa lounged on the couch and clinked glasses with Jonah, savoring the high-quality red wine he had brought along.

"Hey, that's too much!" Mouth dry, Silas protested, "Am I here at night to work for free? Look at you, drinking wine and enjoying life. Is this how you treat a prosecutor?"

Silas realized they showed no sympathy, so he added meekly, "Please save some for me."

"Silas, stay focused on your work. If you succeed, I'll reward you with everything from my wine cellar," Alyssa quipped.

"Hmph! I am a moral and principled civil servant. You'd better not attempt to bribe me!" He then returned to typing on the keyboard.

Jonah interjected, "Alyssa, Dad has heard about what happened."

"Winston's always the first to learn about all the bad news, huh? Is he laughing at me behind my back?" Alyssa's mood soured, and she lost interest in the good wine. She folded her legs and pouted gloomily.

"He did indeed have a good laugh at your expense," Jonah remarked with a scoff as he playfully pinched her puffed cheeks. "He said, word for word, 'What's the point of getting upset over nothing? Doesn't she have anyone else to care about?'"

Alyssa was allowed to do anything she wanted. If anything went awry, her brothers would take care of the fallout.

Just then, her phone vibrated on the coffee table. She widened her eyes when she saw Jasper's name on the screen out of the corner of her eye.

"Ah, a call from your ex-husband," Jonah teased with a grin.

"Yeah, it's like a scene out of 'The Ring,'" Alyssa replied, turning her phone screen down, determined to ignore Jasper.

Suddenly, Sean burst through the door with a frown and exclaimed, "Ms. Alyssa, Jasper Beckett is here! He's right outside!"

The doorbell echoed in the villa at the same time.
