Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 2407

While Alyssa spoke, Jasper remained expressionless next to her. Even so, he still couldn't help but peer at her from the corner of his eye.

Others might feel that she was being too assertive and aggressive with that fierce gaze in her eyes, but for Jasper, that evoked an inexplicable feeling within him.

To him, she looked even more attractive than she normally was. It was as if she gave off a captivating glow.

Sebastian slumped to his knees again. Alyssa's words struck him like a ton of bricks. Still, he had already chosen the wrong side-Sheryl's side. What could he do now? He had no choice but to see it through to the end.

After all, he had seen the news two days ago. Jasper was no longer the CEO of Beckett Group. He held no authority anymore. Aligning with Justin had seemed like the right decision.

If he betrayed Justin and switched sides, he would surely be doomed.

"Mr. Jasper... Ms. Alyssa," Sebastian stammered, desperation etched into his voice. "What's the point of coming here to make things difficult for me? Even if you kill me, Mr. Jasper won't regain his position as CEO!

"The data from the blood sample was real. Even if I hadn't provided it to the authorities, they would have discovered it sooner or later. The outcome would still be the same!"

"What the heck? Quit babbling!" Landon couldn't bear to listen to Sebastian. He glared at him and was about to strike him when Zayne leaped in front of Sebastian to shield him.

Putting on an act depicting their father-son relationship's closeness, he exclaimed, "Don't hit my father. Hit me instead!"

A gloomy expression came across Alyssa's face. Sebastian was right. He was bribed, but the blood sample was genuine too.

"Dr. Bender, I didn't come here intending to harm you," Jasper said after a tense silence, his voice icy. "If your son hadn't lashed out at Ms. Alyssa, I'd planned to have a civil conversation with you."

Alyssa's eyes glistened for a moment as she pressed her lips together.

A chill went down Sebastian's spine as he stared at the expressionless look on Jasper's charming face. He had wanted to have a civil conversation? What about now?

"But I see no need for that anymore."

At Jasper's signal, Landon grabbed a document from a bodyguard and threw it at Sebastian's face.

"Take a look at how your 'good son repaid you," Landon sneered.

With trembling hands, Sebastian picked up the document. His face paled as he read it-a deed showing his residence had been used as collateral, signed and sealed with Zayne's signature.

Zayne's reddened eyes widened in panic. He lunged to snatch the document, but Sebastian slapped him across the face.

"You bastard! You sold our house? Where will your mother and I live? Are you trying to drive us to our graves?" "H-How did you get your hands on this document?" Zayne stammered, his lips trembling as he stared at Landon. Landon smirked, his expression devilishly arrogant. "Because this house now belongs to me as collateral." Sebastian and Zayne widened their eyes in shock. "What?"

Even Alyssa looked surprised, her eyes darting toward Landon,

"To leave the gambling house in Mosgravia unscathed, your son handed over all your family's assets," Landon explained, his tone mocking. "But here's the twist-you didn't know the Harper family owns that gambling house."

"W-What...?" Zayne almost passed out.

"In other words, I am currently your creditor."

Landon's bodyguard brought a chair over to Landon respectfully. Landon lifted the tail of his coat and sat down with a flourish. "So, your repayment is long overdue. Mr. Zayne, when will you settle your remaining debt of five million dollars?"

Zayne hung his head down low in shame.

A youthful and gleeful smile came across Landon's face. Looking at Jasper, who was surrounded by an air of frigidity, he asked, "Jasper, didn't you say that you wanted to have a civil conversation with them?

"I have an idea. I'll settle this bastard's debt of five million dollars by chopping off both his arms. Each arm costs 2.5 million dollars, and I'll call it even."

Zayne was scared out of his wits. He fell onto his knees with a loud thud.

"Your son is a hopeless gambling addict," Landon said nonchalantly. "Without his arms, maybe he'll quit. Unless, of course, he starts gambling with his mouth."

At Landon's signal, two bodyguards moved toward Zayne.

After that, with a wave of his hand, two of his bodyguards looked like they were about to get to Zayne.

"Mr. Harper, don't! I'll give you however much it is that you want. Please spare Zaynie!" Sebastian pleaded repeatedly. "What is it that you people want me to do? I'll do as you say. Please don't hurt my son!"

Zayne was his final weak spot, and with that, Sebastian's final shred of resistance crumbled.

Breathing a sigh of relief, Alyssa smiled. Truth be told, she had planned to achieve a similar outcome, but Landon's method was far more effective.

"I want you to confess that Sheryl bribed you. Can you do that?" Jasper spoke up with a dim look in his eyes. Sebastian had no choice but to grit his teeth and nod.

Alyssa then added coldly, "Also, you have to prove to the public that the substances found in Mr. Jasper's blood sample might not necessarily be drugs but banned medications instead."

Jasper turned to Alyssa, who had a determined look on her face.

As he stared at her resolute expression, an inexplicable feeling surged within him, enveloping his pounding heart.
