Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2604

A police officer stood guard at the entrance to Justin's hospital ward, a presence that made Alyssa feel a little more at ease. However, the moment she stepped inside, the door clicked shut behind her, making her heart leap again.

Step by step, she approached the hospital bed, her gaze cold and unyielding. She tried to mask her emotions, but the hatred she carried for Justin seeped through her every movement.

She despised him—utterly and completely. His very presence repulsed her.

This remained true even though the man sitting up in bed, leaning against the headboard, looked exceptionally handsome. His fair complexion and well-defined features exuded a refined elegance.

Most women would fall for him at first glance, utterly captivated by his flawless act. Little would they know that beneath it all, he was a monster in disguise—a wolf in sheep's clothing.

"It seems I was right about you." Justin narrowed his eyes at Alyssa, curling his lips into a gentle, relieved smile. "Now that I've ended up in this predicament—my reputation is in ruins, I've been expelled from Beckett Group, and everyone avoids me like the plague. Yet you, Lyse, are the only one who still comes to see me."

Suppressing her disgust, Alyssa replied evenly, "Don't say that. We're business partners. I wouldn't be here if I didn't have faith in you or trust your abilities. Don't you think so?"

Justin coughed lightly, his brows knitting. "Lyse, do you believe what they're saying? Do you think I murdered someone? Do you trust me?"

He looked entirely innocent, as if he had played no part in the tragic loss of those lives at his hands. He played the role so perfectly that he had actually convinced himself.

"But first, I want you to tell me—did you murder those people?" Rather than rushing to answer his question, Alyssa pressed him, her gaze intense. "Were you the one who built the laboratory base? Was it your idea to run the drug trials on live human subjects?

"Did you give the command to exterminate Jameson? Did you stab Mildred to death? And did you kill Liana?"

With every question, Justin's smile only grew wider.

Alyssa walked right up to him, staring down at him coldly. "Tell me—was it all your doing?"

"Are you recording this, Lyse?" Justin asked, lifting his face to lock eyes with her.

Alyssa scoffed. "It seems you still don't trust me, Mr. Beckett. Well, that's understandable. After all, I used to be Jasper's romantic partner. It's probably tough for you to truly accept and trust me."

There it was. The moment had finally come.

Alyssa's heart skipped a beat, but she nodded calmly. "I've heard of it. It is a secretive place with great opportunities and endless possibilities. My father knew about it back in the day, but he was a businessman without much real ambition. All he focused on was living a simple life with his wife and kids.

"If he had joined Kings' Club back then, I'm sure his achievements would have been far greater."

"Mr. Taylor is an extraordinary businessman. It wasn't that he lacked ambition; he just knew that great opportunities came with great risks."

A resolute look came across Justin's eyes. All of a sudden, he yanked Alyssa forward, locking his arms around her waist. He held the sweet-scented woman he had long desired in a tight embrace, burying his face in the crook of her neck as he inhaled deeply, breathing in her subtle elegant scent.

"Lyse, I am eligible to become part of the core of Kings' Club. Would you like to come with me to see what the world out there is like?

"Would you like to watch me rise again and crush Jasper beneath my feet once more?"
