Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2572

Javier's eyes widened in shock. Though the spacious study was well-heated, a chilling cold spread through his entire body.

"Justin… w-what do you mean by that? Did you actually take someone's life? Did you really kill that young woman?"

"Shh—"

Justin lifted a finger to his lips, a cruel glint flashing in his dark eyes. "She was just an insignificant helper. Nothing worth making a fuss over, is it?"

Eden, standing behind him, remained silent. Meanwhile, Rory's face had turned deathly pale. Cold sweat beaded on his forehead, soaking through his sleeves and collar. Just how twisted did a person have to be to speak of murder with such indifference?

"An insignificant helper? That was a human life!"

Javier glared at the man before him, his eyes bloodshot. A massive wave of terror crashed over him. "Why did you kill her? Why?"

"Because it was fun." Justin tilted his head and gave a careless shrug. "Of course, I was a little nervous the first time I stabbed her. But by the second strike, all I felt was excitement. The sound of the blade tearing through flesh… It was like music to my ears. I couldn't stop."

Javier staggered back a few steps. The sheer terror drained the warmth from his blood, leaving him trembling in fear and disbelief that this monster was the son he had raised.

"You bastard… You're a monster! How did I end up with a son like you?"

"That's a good question. How did I end up like this?"

Justin shifted his weight and leaned lazily against the armrest of the couch. Resting his cheek on his fist, he narrowed his eyes into a gleeful smile as he watched Javier teeter on the verge of collapse.

"Maybe you should ask yourself that. If you hadn't been so heartless… if you hadn't betrayed my mother, she wouldn't have died that horrible death by the pond in the back garden. If she were still alive, I wouldn't have become this—a walking corpse.
