Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 52

Alyssa’s eyes widened in shock. Her heart skipped a beat.

Her gaze bore deeply into Jasper's.

Her captivating eyes seemed to blaze with fiery flames.

Her expression was almost overwhelming.

Even a man as commanding as Jasper

couldn't help but flicker his eyes as if trying to avoid her intense gaze.

After a moment, Alyssa smiled. There was a distant look in her eyes. It was as if she were emotionally “So, Mr. Beckett, you rushed here only to vent your anger on your dear wife? It seems like you've bee you don't release it now.”

Jasper had pushed himself to the limit. Alyssa had poured her heart into

her relationship with Jasper for the past three years. She didn’t expect him to cherish any memory of her was crossing the line! 1

Moreover, Alyssa had moved on and no longer belonged to Jasper. It seemed Jasper never allowed I harsher rejection.

Was Alyssa supposed to endure Jasper's heartless trampling? There was

no justification for such treatment!

“Jasper, it's unfortunate that despite your impressive connections and influence, you might not be al calamity. Dylan's wrongdoings against KS

“Shameless and unscrupulous!” Jasper felt his breath caught in his throat while saying the words. "Shameless and unscrupulous? Well, thanks for the half—

so cutting that it felt like a prick to his eyes. “But even if I were shameless and

unscrupulous, what did it matter to you? Who are you to judge and meddle in my business?”

As the conversation seemed futile, Alyssa decided to

turn and walk away. To her surprise, Jasper was unwilling

to let go. He gripped her arm with an alarming

amount of force right where she had recently recovered from an injury.

“Let go of me!” Alyssa winced, fearing any sudden movements might aggravate her old injury. “Alice, what am I to you? You know it perfectly well.” Jasper's voice was husky. His eyes were burning It was as if they were

two gamblers at a table, each trying to outwit the other. Each was desperately searching for the othe Alyssa retorted with anger, “What else could you be? A useless ex-husband!”

“Alice!” Jasper's eyes flushed red in an instant.

“Jasper! Let go of me!”

Sean forcefully shoved Jasper aside and shielded Alyssa in his embrace.

"He touched the arm you injured! You were complaining about feeling unwell the other night. It's all him, isn't it?!" Sean glared

Jasper felt a sharp pang inside as he clenched his fingers that had just brushed against Alyssa’s.
