Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 866
“And who is she? Alyssa Taylor?” Renee demanded to know.
Her competitiveness reared its head. Sweating anxiously, she pressed, “But I thought they were divorced!
They wouldn’t have divorced if they still had feelings for each other.”
“Pfft. What do you know?” Landon chuckled and looked away. “They might be divorced, but they are still
interested in each other. You can never imagine the depth of Jasper’s feelings for Lyse.
“Even if they are divorced, and even if she marries another, no one can ever replace her in Jasper’s heart.”
Exhausted and unsteady, Renee watched them leave. After a while, she stomped indignantly and
bellowed to the air, “I don’t believe you! You liar! That’s nonsense!”
Landon took Jasper into his car as soon as he could. On their way, he figured that Jasper wasn’t drunk,
just drugged.
A question remained-when was he drugged?
Recalling the waiter carrying a tray with glasses of champagne, Landon noted how Renee had randomly
picked two glasses. How could she be sure to give Jasper the spiked drink?
Could she have spiked all the drinks? If so, she was a crazy one.
“Jasper, I’ll send you to your place. You can’t go home to Seaview Manor looking like this,” Landon
offered.
Jasper’s breathing grew heavy. He tugged on his shirt, causing two of his buttons to come undone and
exposing part of his chest with flushed skin. He looked sultry.
“Damn, you’re a slut, aren’t you? No wonder those ladies are all over you,” Landon teased and quickly

started the engine.
Just as he was about to help Jasper buckle the seatbelt, Jasper mumbled with hazy eyes, “Lyse... Lyse...”
Landon paused upon hearing the familiar name before letting out a chuckle. Jasper might find it hard to
express his feelings, but he had never forgotten about Lyse.
Landon buckled Jasper’s seat belt and stared witlessly at Jasper’s vulnerable look. “I got it, Jasper. As
your only friend, I will help you out!”
After Alyssa collected the intel she needed, she and Julien prepared to leave the hotel.
Her phone rang when she entered the car. Seeing it was a call from Landon, she wasn’t interested in
picking up.
However, the ringtone persisted, as annoying as Landon himself.
“What’s the matter?” Alyssa finally picked up and spoke flatly.
“Lyse, Jasper is in trouble!” Landon sounded anxious and urgent.
Her heart sank as she questioned sternly, “What happened to him?”
“I don’t know the details, but he’s not in a good state now. I’ve sent him back to his private villa. Aren’t you
a doctor? Please check on him!”
Various worst-case scenarios flashed across her mind. The long-term effects of Jasper’s head injury had
become a constant worry for her.
