Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

The only way they could make a breakthrough now was to catch Jeffrey's superior, Inigo Montoye. Jameson's crimes would
finally be revealed once they had Inigo to testify!
But Alyssa couldn't tell Winston this due to the risk of alerting unwanted parties and disturbing Jasper's plan and hers. Hence,
she could only stop her explanation here.
"Then I'll wait for your evidence to change my mind." Winston no longer had the energy to argue with Alyssa. Sweat had beaded
on his brows.
He then walked right out the door.
Neil hurriedly followed along, seeing how ill Winston suddenly seemed.
"You heartless, selfish, obsolete old man!" Alyssa roared at her father. "I hate you! I hate you so fucking much!"
It felt like a dagger had penetrated Winston's heart. The pain was so great he flinched.
The last time Alyssa yelled at him like this and told him she hated him was when Jennifer, the love of Winston's life, died.
Winston didn't understand it. He had given all the best to Alyssa since she was a child. He could sacrifice every single member
of their family just to pave a safe, protected, and worry-free path for Alyssa's future.
But why did Winston end up being repaid with Alyssa's hatred?
"Didn't you want to be with Jasper?" Winston said solemnly, back still toward his daughter. "This true love you seek isn't
something wished well on by countless others. They're bound to cause trouble.

"What I'm doing now can let you have the relationship you want, stabilize KS Group, and ensure Tatiana marries well. What's
wrong with that?"
Alyssa's shoulders quivered. Disappointment filled her throat, making her breathing shallow.
"I'm not just your father. I'm also the head of the family business. I can't ignore the business' problems for you and your siblings'
sake. What's more, I've already given you a freedom no one else has received.
I can't please everyone at the same time. You should know when enough is enough, Alyssa," Winston said.
Alyssa took a shaky step back. This was the first time she found her father to be so terrifying.
Alyssa's sweat had soaked through her shirt when she walked back to her room. She felt as if she were about to pass out.
Pain filled her chest, making her feel unbearably bitter and depressed.
She couldn't allow Tatiana to marry into the Schmidt family. Whether it was David Schmidt or Jameson Schmidt, her sister would
still be treated horribly!
Winston didn't know how terrifying Jameson could be, but Alyssa did. That was why she had to do everything in her might to stop
this marriage!
Just as Alyssa was about to seek Tatiana out and console her, her phone rang.
Jasper's phone call was like the ray of sunshine dispelling the dark clouds overhead. A faint smile surfaced on Alyssa's lips.
Yet, when she recalled her argument with her father and realized that her relationship with Jasper had prompted Winston to
arrange Tatiana's marriage to the Schmidt family, a crushing sense of guilt settled in her chest.
After a moment, Alyssa answered the call. "Jasper ... "

"What is it? You seem upset. Are you missing me?" Jasper's silky, magnetic voice echoed, filled with tender adoration.
Alyssa rubbed her eyes, feeling even more upset now. "Don't ask if you know the answer already."
Jasper chuckled, the sound very attractive even over the call. "Then stop missing me and come outside to see me."
