Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Alyssa remained astonishingly composed. She was the future heiress of the Taylor Group, and she should be handling the
humiliation with grace.
However, Jasper and Cyrus were visibly rattled, especially the former. As rage simmered in Jasper's chest, his hand began to
shake, and his expression hardened.
Noticing Jasper's change, Simon felt more emboldened, knowing that Jasper's hands were tied since they were at the police
station. "Mr. Beckett, you're a lucky man. Just send Ms. Alyssa on the mission if you have trouble negotiating your deals. She'll
charm the pants off any man, and you will secure any business deal you want. Ouch—"
Just as Simon was enjoying the moment, he saw stars and felt sore in his nose. Then, he collapsed onto the floor.
Alyssa widened her eyes and shouted, "Jasper?" She stared blankly at his towering and intimidating figure, her heart pounding
against his chest.
Even Cyrus was momentarily thrown off guard. Simon had fallen on the ground before Cyrus even noticed Jasper's attack. He
was amazed by Jasper's speed and decided to check the surveillance footage to learn from the latter.
"J-Jasper Beckett, how dare you assault me at a police station?" Simon pressed against his broken nose as tears and blood
trickled down his face. He threatened, "I'll sue you for assault! I will ... I will ..."
"But I'm beating up an animal, not a human." Jasper cracked his joints and stared icily at Simon. "Ah, I shouldn't have compared
you to an animal. To me, you're just a monster."
That sent Simon shaking in fear and anger. Still, this was the first time he encountered such injustice, having lived a smooth
sailing life as a renowned attorney and the son of the Lynch family.

He started yelling to attract the attention of the other police. "Jasper Beckett is abusing his power! He's verbally humiliating and
bullying a defenseless citizen in a police station, nonetheless!
"Jasper Beckett, you'd be gravely wrong to think you can do anything just because you're rich! Are you holding the law and the
justice system in contempt, assaulting me in a police station?"
"Listen well, Simon Lynch," Jasper growled, casting a penetrating gaze on Simon. "Feel free to come at me if you're displeased,
and I will deal with you. But speak ill of my woman again, and I'll make you pay, even if I break the law. If this happens again, I'll
rip that tongue out of your filthy mouth. Try me."
Simon stared at him in disbelief as he stiffened. Alyssa gently held Jasper's hand and blew on his knuckles while softly chiding
him, "How hard did you hit him? Your hand's swollen."
"It's fine." He beamed at her, looking unbothered.
She locked eyes with him before turning to Simon. "Jasper, if you end up in jail because of this guy, I'll give him a good beating,
too. Life without you will be boring, so I'd rather join you in jail."
Cyrus stared at their weird flirtation in shock. Simon was equally stunned, feeling like a mere tool in the couple's flirtatious
exchange.
At that moment, the sound of uneven footsteps drew near. A man's voice boomed, "Jasper, what exactly are you doing?"
Jasper looked up, his expression darkening.
