Can’t Win Me Back




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.

"I know my limits."

Justin swirled the wine in his glass, his voice turning soft. "Dr. Gillis will be released in two hours, correct?"

Eden answered, "That's right."

Justin tipped his chin slightly and instructed, "Take me to the police station."
