Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1346

"Sean? Why would he?" Alyssa's mind went blank. Had Jasper not held her right in time, she would have lost her balance.

"Is this true? Has Sean Lynch admitted to all the charges?" Gabe's eyes lit up. He repeatedly checked the document for confirmation.

"It's true, Chief. It's in black and white. Sean Lynch has admitted to assaulting David Schmidt, and he's willing to receive the punishment."

The turn of events was a welcomed change for the Schmidts. Despite sending in different policemen across shifts to continuously interrogate Sean, Sean did not budge at all. He'd rather be imprisoned indefinitely than admit to his guilt.

But why the change of mind? What exactly happened?

"Lyse, how are you feeling?" Jasper was concerned by Alyssa's pale face. He hugged her tight on her waist and sensed her body stiffening. He felt sorry for her.

"Sean did not do anything wrong. Why did he admit to his guilt?" Alyssa's eyes filled with hatred. She shook her head indignantly. "Is he an idiot? He can't just admit to guilt without care! Does he want to go to prison?"

"Right. How could he?" Simon squinted with a knowing smile. "I'm sure he was aware of the consequences as a former top student in law school. Ms. Alyssa, what's the point of poking your nose into his case?"

Feeling a stabbing pain in her heart, she suddenly connected the dots.

…

An hour ago, Gabe gave Simon special permission to visit Sean discreetly. There wasn't an ounce of affection between the siblings when they met, only tension and hatred.

"Tsk tsk. Look at you, Sean. What have you done to yourself?" Scrutinizing Sean, Simon shook his head and clicked his tongue. "If Dad and Mom know you're going to prison for Tatiana Taylor, they'll pass out from crying. You've given them so much trouble."

"Didn't your owner put you on a leash today? It's annoying, you barking in front of me." Sean closed his eyes, unwilling to look at his brother.

Simon merely scoffed. He did not seem provoked, merely saying, "We're brothers. Let's play nice."

"Simon, you're falsifying evidence! Aren't you scared of losing your license and being investigated by the Department of Justice?" Sean growled at his brother, his face turning white. His veins bulged.

"Falsification of evidence? Where?" Simon opened his arms and smiled cunningly. "My dear brother, you were at the scene that night. You knew who roughed up David Schmidt. It's obvious from the video that Alyssa and Jasper acted out, and Jonah helped them to clean up the mess. When did you even beat David? At least I didn't see it."

Sean felt a piercing pain in his chest. He bellowed, "Just come at me! Do not do anything to Ms. Alyssa!"

"Oh, I need to tell you this as well." Simon's fingers intertwined. Leaning forward, he stared coldly at Sean, "Ms. Alyssa is on her way to save you. If my guess is correct, she'd turn herself in and take all the blame to secure your release."

"Ms. Alyssa… No…" Sean repeatedly shook his head as he grappled with the heartache.

"Either you or the Taylors would have to take the responsibility. The video evidence and David's injuries won't lie. Sean, you're close to Ms. Alyssa. You wouldn't want her involved, would you?"
