Can't Win Me Back Chapter 1048
"Oh my goodness, I nearly forgot!" Cyrus suddenly smacked his forehead. His eyes were glowing excitedly. "You helped us solve two murder cases before! One was by pinpointing material evidence that gave us a breakthrough, and the other was identifying mistakes in a suspect's statement, which made the criminal come clean!"Jasper stared at Alyssa in sheer awe.How could Alyssa be so phenomenal? There was no way he could catch up to her at this rate.Jasper used to think he was pretty decent. But now, he felt like a piece of used tissue paper in front of Alyssa."Looks like you still remember my achievements, Cyrus," Alyssa teased. "If it weren't for Winston, Mandy, and everyone else holding me back, I would've become a gun-slinging police officer myself. You might even be calling me Madam right now.""That's only because everyone worried you would be in danger being out on the front lines every day. They all dote on you, after all. But they still couldn't stop you in the end, no? Yo

"Arrange for Mr. Beckett to meet the suspect right away, Cyrus!" Orion instructed.Everyone was shocked.Was it that easy?"Yes, captain." Cyrus was stunned by how smoothly it went."But Jeffrey is a dangerous man. It might not be safe to see him alone, Mr. Beckett. Let Cyrus go with you," Orion said."No need," Jasper replied calmly."It's alright, Captain Holt. Mr. Beckett is far more skilled than Cyrus and Jeffrey combined," Alyssa said with a smile. "You best send more officers to watch over Jeffrey if Mr. Beckett gets angry. I fear Jeffrey might end up losing his life in the station."Alyssa couldn't let Jeffrey die before everything came to an end—not yet.…Cyrus and two officers waited outside the detention center while Alyssa and Jasper went inside to speak to Jeffrey.Some time went past before Jeffrey was lugged before them. He was cuffed and clad in prisoner's garb behind the bars."Fancy seeing you here," Jeffrey snickered and sat on the metal chair. He leered a

Jeffrey sneered but said nothing."So why don't we work together? You can testify that Sophia was the one who instructed you to kill Nina. In return, we'll make sure you return to Tsulu within the year. You saw how close my sister was to the royal family. All that's needed to get you back home safe is a kind word from my sister to the queen."Alyssa then ended her words with, "How about it, Mr. Snyder? Why don't you consider our offer?"Shock rippled in Jasper's eyes.Alyssa's attitude, consideration, and mindset were just as keen as Jasper's and the other men in the business world. In fact, many of the big leagues couldn't even compare.Jasper was fortunate Alyssa was kind at heart and that she loved him. Who knows what kind of torment Jasper would suffer from her? It must be the devastating kind.Jeffrey chuckled. He said sarcastically, "If someone else offered this deal to me today, I might actually take it up. But since it's you who's suggesting it, Ms. Alyssa, then I do not

At this moment, Jasper's phone rang. It was Xavier calling in."Mr. Beckett, everything is ready. Tonight at 7:00 pm, prime time, all the news stations will report the news of Jeffrey's arrest. I guarantee Sophia will see it.""Good."Jasper smiled in satisfaction. "After that, keep an eye on Sophia and the situation in the prison. If there's any movement, contact me and Alyssa immediately.""Yes, Mr. Beckett."Xavier hesitated for a moment, then quickly added, "Congratulations, Mr. Beckett, on reconciling with Madam. I hope you won't make her angry again. Care for her with all you can. Make up for the three years you owe her.""You—"Before Jasper could respond, Xavier quickly hung up.Jasper raised an eyebrow. That brat Xavier had grown some guts. He actually dared to hang up on Jasper.Also, what was Xavier babbling about earlier? Was he lecturing Jasper on how to do things?Alyssa cleared her throat as she blushed in embarrassment. "I didn't intentionally eavesdrop. Your

That night at 7:00 pm, all the news channels reported the news of the shooting incident. If it wasn't the first piece of news, it was still the second.The footage of Jeffrey's arrest was exposed. In the video provided by Jasper to the media, Jeffrey's face was not even blurred. It was boldly presented to the public.Simultaneously, the news of the innocent girl who lost her life in the shooting spread like wildfire, causing a public outcry.Citizens flooded the comment sections on the TV station's official website and Twitter, condemning Jeffrey's heinous actions."Solana City is known as the safest city in the country, but a shooting incident actually happened! It's surreal!""This Jeffrey Snyder is heartless! Ruthless! Worse than an animal! I hope the law severely punishes this villain and brings justice to the innocent girl. Don't disappoint us.""Usually, in the news, the photos of victims are exposed, while the faces of criminals are often blurred. That's just weird! This t

Alyssa was good at manipulating public opinion to incite emotions among netizens. With just a little effort, it could have a significant impact."Sean, I'm really sorry. I know you're still in recovery, but I had to trouble you. You've been handling the PR side, so you understand the entire process the best. You work the fastest, so I can only—""Ms. Alyssa, please don't say that."Sean was very serious yet gentle. "No matter when or what happens, please remember, I have your back.""Sean ..." Alyssa choked up.It might be because she had recently been too deeply immersed in love, but she seemed to be getting softer as she aged. She found herself on the verge of tears at the slightest emotional trigger.Blame it on Jasper for turning her iron-heartedness into tender emotions."Besides, I'm bored to death in this sanatorium. Please find something for me to do. I'm afraid I'll get early-onset dementia.""I heard Taty goes to take care of you when she's free. Why are you still bor

At this moment, in Seaview Manor, all the servants of the Beckett family had learned about the ins and outs of the Jeffrey case through the television and their phones. They were all in a state of shock, and discussions were buzzing."Jeffrey Snyder? Madam Sophia's assistant, Jeffrey?""Yes, him! Whenever I saw that guy, I would get goosebumps. He looked sinister. It turns out he's really a villain.""Oh, my God. Nina ... Poor Nina! Such a good girl, gone just like that."The servants shed tears, and sobs echoed."Nina's death is partially Sophia's responsibility. How could she keep such a dangerous person at home? She's too selfish. Don't our lives matter?" someone said indignantly."Has the noble Madam Sophia ever considered us humans?"One maid who was close to Nina exclaimed, "She and Betty are simply evil capitalists! They always bullied Nina. Sometimes, she was forced to work late at night."Once, I saw bruises all over her arms when she changed clothes. I asked if she wa

A deep and authoritative voice echoed from behind, and the chaotic scene suddenly fell silent.Everyone froze for a moment, then quickly bowed. "Mr. Javier.""Dad?" Betty was momentarily flustered, standing there awkwardly.It was only then that she noticed that Javier and Rory had appeared behind her.She had thought Javier was away on a business trip. How did he suddenly return?"What were you doing just now? Did you hit someone?" Javier questioned sternly, his eyes showing a hint of anger."Dad ... Please listen to me. It's all these servants' fault!"Betty immediately changed her expression to a pitiful one. She then ran over to hug Javier's arm like an innocent bunny."They were talking behind my back and Mom's back. They're so disrespectful and out of line! We pay them, but they don't even have basic professional ethics! Please, just fire them.""Is that the reason why you resorted to violence?"Javier ignored her complaints and continued with a serious face. "Just beca

Alyssa followed Jasper into the study. The door closed behind her with a soft click. She didn't move to switch on the lights or sit down. Instead, she stood quietly in the dim room.They faced each other, eyes locked. In the darkness, their gazes seemed brighter, charged with emotions that neither could put into words. Whatever stirred within them was tangled and silent—kept at bay by something unspoken, as if a wall had formed between heart and mouth. After a pause, Alyssa offered a faint smile. Her voice was soft, almost courteous. "Go ahead, Mr. Beckett. I won't be staying long tonight—I've made other arrangements."It was clear she didn't want to be alone in a room with him.Jasper's chest tightened, overwhelmed by a surge of emotion he couldn't define. His voice was rough when he finally spoke. "You didn't vote against the motion at today's board meeting. I wanted to know… are we still on the same side?"Alyssa's gaze lowered, her voice steady and calm. "You didn't object

In the evening, Xavier drove Jasper to meet with Newton. Along the way, news broke out that Sheryl had been bailed out. Xavier slammed his fist against the steering wheel. "Damn it! Why is it so hard to get rid of that woman?" "She is Justin's right hand," Jasper said, eyes shut as he leaned back in his seat. His jaw tightened. "You could even say she knows more about his secrets than anyone. As long as she's useful, Justin won't discard her so easily. This is how he operates."Xavier shook his head, teeth gritted. "Where the hell did she even come from? When you had me investigate her, I found nothing. Her background was spotless. "What's in her past that Justin would go so far to keep it hidden? A man like him can have any woman he wants, yet he clings to her—some pretty-faced idiot who only seems to make things harder for him."Jasper's gaze turned glacial. Xavier's casual remark struck him.He was right. Justin wasn't short on capable subordinates. So why Sheryl?Was Sh

This time, the injection did not bring the excruciating pain that once made Amber wish for death. Her chapped lips trembled, and tears streamed down her face as she gazed deeply into Remy's eyes. He, too, looked at her, his expression unreadable yet intense. Between them, no words were needed."Damien… Thank you…" Though her voice was barely audible, the weight of her words sank deep into Remy's heart. For once, he did not object to being called Damien.The truth was, ever since Amber had been taken, an unbearable pressure had settled over him, making each breath feel like a punishment—every day since had been plagued by self-reproach and regret.If he hadn't stopped her that night and let her go sooner, could she have avoided Sheryl? Could she have been spared the torture and humiliation?"You should know that those who enter this place never leave. Most don't even make it out alive."Remy's gaze was unwavering. Taking advantage of the surveillance blind spot, he placed his

"Mr. Lexington," the doctor greeted respectfully, lowering his head slightly. Everyone at the base knew who Sheryl and Remy were. They were the ones in charge, the decision-makers. So, everyone obeyed their orders without question. To the staff unaware of the facility's true purpose, Sheryl and Remy stood at the pinnacle of the hierarchy. Unbeknownst to them, someone more powerful lurked in the shadows."How has she been these past few days?" Remy asked, his expression unreadable."She's had some adverse reactions, but there are no signs of organ failure yet. Honestly, I'm surprised. She looks frail, but her body is incredibly resilient—stronger than some men, even."The doctor scoffed. "But I'm not sure if she'll make it past her fourth injection today. Last month, four test subjects didn't survive beyond that point. Their bodies have already been sent to the incinerator." Remy's jaw tensed. His voice was husky as he said, "As I've instructed, this woman must be kept alive.

Xavier seethed as he took in the insincere smile on Justin's face. Deep down, he was cursing him with every profanity imaginable. "Whatever makes you happy."Ignoring Justin's dark gaze, Jasper kept his eyes fixed ahead as he strode past him.Out of nowhere, Justin chuckled and asked, "Did you really think you had people on your side during the board meeting?"Jasper halted, his eyes narrowing. "Grandpa tried his best to shield you, but his health is failing by the day. How much longer do you think an old man can protect you?"Lowering his gaze, Justin idly adjusted the ruby cufflinks on his sleeves. His voice was casual yet cutting. "And Lyse—after how ruthlessly you discarded her, do you still believe she'll stand by you no matter what? That she'll fight alongside you like before?"The intense midday sun accentuated the sharp, aloof, and pallid features of Jasper's face as he stood, unyielding, in its glare. His pulse quickened. Finally, he answered, his voice a low rasp. "R

As the board meeting concluded, the crowd gradually dispersed.News of Justin securing his position as president and Alyssa joining the board quickly spread through Beckett Group.After the meeting, Alyssa escorted Newton back to Crescent Bay while Jasper remained at the corporation to handle some matters.With Xavier accompanying him, Jasper strode toward the chairman's office, his expression cold and unreadable.Nearby, a few employees huddled together, whispering."Psst! Do you think Alyssa joining the board means she's teaming up with Jasper to take down our new president?""People have been saying they broke up since they haven't been seen together for a while," another speculated."But at the press conference, Alyssa openly condemned Mr. Justin. That looked like she was siding with Jasper. So, are they still together or not?""Come on, to people like them, personal feelings don't matter—only their own interests do. Even if they broke up, they can still work together if it

When Jonah reached the bedside, he leaned in slowly, giving Julien an unobstructed view of his tanned skin, well-defined abs, and that devastatingly captivating face. Reclining against the headboard, Julien found himself lost in Jonah's eyes. His breath hitched, and his mind momentarily blanked as Jonah's mesmerizing gaze locked onto him. What could he do? His heart still betrayed him, a frantic drumbeat against his ribs. He was a fool—a pathetic fool. Jonah braced his arms on either side of Julien's head, his dark eyes overflowing with a raw, possessive affection. It was as if he sought to consume Julien—just as he had last night."Julien, does it still hurt—" "Fuck you!" Julien's bloodshot eyes blazed as he swung his hand, landing a sharp slap across Jonah's face. The illusion of his frailty shattered. A crimson handprint bloomed on Jonah's cheek in a split second, the flesh puffing up visibly. But the sting barely registered. Not when the ache in Jonah's chest was alr

Justin frowned as a hint of surprise flashed across his dark eyes. He had assumed Newton's unannounced appearance at the board meeting—along with Alyssa's involvement—was a coordinated effort with Jasper to overthrow him as president. After mentally running through hundreds of countermeasures, the one possibility he hadn't considered was that everything would proceed smoothly in his favor. Javier was equally stunned, though this outcome aligned with his desires. Today, Justin wasn't merely his son but a constant shadow looming over him, a silent predator watching his every move and reminding him that his past actions weren't completely buried. Instead, this secret loomed like a ticking time bomb that could detonate at any moment, obliterating everything he'd built. And the person holding the detonator was Justin—his eldest son whom he had trusted above all others. With a dim gaze, Javier watched Justin rise to his feet amid the applause. Suddenly, Justin's voice seemed distant,

Justin curled his lips into a smirk, scoffing in silence. Newton had gone to great lengths to bring Alyssa into Beckett Group. This was his way of decentralizing power and keeping it in check, and he wanted to prevent Justin from having complete control. Unlike others, Javier couldn't hold himself back. He blew his top instantly, his face turning red like a tomato. "Dad, have you lost your mind? Don't you know who she is? She is KS Group's president—our direct competitor!"KS Group is also bidding for Project A5. No matter how much you favor her, you should at least recognize the limits. If you promote her, it's a blatant conflict of interest—outright cronyism!" Newton sneered. "I might understand your concern if I were promoting someone other than Alyssa."His gaze hardened. "Cronyism? A conflict of interest? I wonder who you're really talking about."With those words, he cast a knowing, enigmatic glance at Justin's blank expression. Just then, a board member from Javier's
