Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2322

Ben often heard Newton refer to Alyssa as a heroine, but he never truly believed it. Today, he finally witnessed it with his own eyes. She embodied the strength expected of Winston's daughter. Her commanding presence and intimidating demeanor would have many men humble themselves before her.

"Ms. Alyssa, w-what are you trying to do?" Ben stammered, his voice trembling.

With a stern look in her eyes, Alyssa answered, "Mr. Gorham, besides Grandpa Newton, I believe that you're the only one who knows about Justin's murder. Am I right? I want to know how Mildred actually died. How did you and Grandpa Newton dispose of her body?"

Ben clenched his teeth, remaining silent.

"Even if you refuse to speak, my family and I can find out. It's only a matter of time." Alyssa forced a slight smile. "Once I discover the truth, I can't guarantee what the consequences will be."

"Ms. Alyssa, this is a serious matter! This incident involves Mr. Newton and threatens the entire Beckett family's reputation. If word gets out, the corporation could be in grave danger.

"Mr. Newton's health has been declining. If anything were to happen to Beckett Group, he wouldn't be able to take it!" Ben was on the brink of tears.

With a fiery gaze, Alyssa said, "Grandpa Newton trusts me and dotes on me. To me, he is as important as my father. I know my limits, and I'll ensure that Grandpa Newton remains unharmed."

After a brief hesitation, Ben shut his eyes tightly. Finally, he spoke. "It was a stabbing."

"How many times? Once? Twice?"

"More than ten… I can't remember the exact count but there were stab wounds all over her neck, chest, and lower abdomen. I just remember that the carpet was soaked in her blood."

A wave of fury surged within Alyssa. She inhaled sharply.

Just by looking at Justin's appearance and gentlemanly demeanor, no one could associate him with such ruthless and psychotic behavior.

"Mr. Justin is Mr. Newton's oldest grandson, so he was important to him too. Mr. Newton had no choice but to do all he could to keep this incident a secret."

Ben leaned back weakly. "I cleaned up the crime scene and burned the bloody carpet. We staged it to look like she committed suicide by jumping off a building.

"Then, through connections, we had a death certificate issued before sending her body to a crematorium for immediate cremation."

The subsequent events were already made known.

Alyssa went up to Cyrus. "I came to attend to some personal matters." Out of curiosity, she asked, "Cyrus, you're arresting…"

Cyrus kicked one of the car's tires in frustration. Through gritted teeth, he replied, "Drug dealers."

Upon hearing that, Sean stepped forward and shielded Alyssa behind him.

"Hey, why are you being so on edge? I'm right here. If anyone dares to hurt my younger sister, I will freaking take him down!" Cyrus declared, his arrogance bordering on intimidating.

The moment Alyssa heard that those suspects were drug dealers, she couldn't help but be reminded of Jasper. That made her chest tighten.

Cyrus sighed in frustration, his brows knitted tightly. "There's a new type of drug circulating in the underground world of Solana City. It's vaguely reminiscent of the previous one."

Alyssa asked, "What is it?"

Cyrus held up a bag of blue pills as he spoke. "It's called Crystal Ice."
