Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1602

Xavier gaped at Jasper, who threw his manners out of the window and gobbled up the food like a farm animal. For a moment, Jasper looked just like Landon.

"See, Mr. Beckett, Madam cares about you a lot. She prepared lunch for you because she knew you'd skip meals when you are busy." Xavier couldn't hold back from boasting and groveling. "You're lucky to have her as your wife!"

"Too bad she wasn't the one who delivered lunch to me." Jasper took a sip of water to help with his digestion after wolfing down lunch. He appeared really hungry.

If Alyssa delivered lunch to him, he thought he might have a chance to satisfy his other desires. The mere thought of it put a grin on his face.

"Madam had always delivered food to you in the past, including desserts. You were the one who banned her from coming in," Xavier taunted with a smirk.

Xavier's remark sent a stabbing pain through Jasper's chest—a lump formed in his throat.

At that time, Xavier's phone rang. Seeing that it was a call from Tsulu, he immediately answered it. He listened for a while, and his face fell.

Turning to Jasper, he gasped, "Mr. Beckett, there is some bad news from the hospital in Tsulu! Three of the residents, injured in the Schmidt Group's forced demolition, died in the hospital last night."

"They died?" Frowning, Jasper looked doubtful. "I thought they were out of critical condition. Why did three of them pass away without warning?"

"Since there are three deaths, the incident is now classified as a major public safety incident. Whoever is in charge of the demolition might have to serve jail time in Tsulu," Xavier analyzed.

"Don't forget how he got rid of David and Daisy. Remember how he claimed to love me but acted against Jonah and Miley? You can tell that Jameson is a selfish and insane man who'd do anything for his own gain." She let out a heavy sigh.

Then, in a trembling voice, she added, "Jasper, I'm afraid there will be a coup in the Schmidt Group. I cannot foresee what Jamiper would do to us once he's in power. We need to always be on our guard and ready to fight at any time."

Jasper's eyes sparkled passionately. He declared with affection, "Lyse, there's nothing to fear. I'll take on the challenges as they come and protect you at all costs. I will not let anyone lay a finger on you."

Xavier admired the love shared between the couple.
