Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
Chapter 1992

Inside the interrogation room, Xavier sat silently beside Sean. He watched as Sean transformed into a cold and resolute fortress, shielding him from the officers' attack.

His eyes shone brightly. He was almost shedding tears.

If it weren't for his crush, he would fall for Sean.

While Sean appeared calm on the surface, he felt uneasy inside.

He felt that something about the whole situation was fishy. The attitude of the police seemed as if they were eager to pin the blame on Xavier immediately, fearing that he might turn the tables. Involvement in drug transactions as a buyer, even for small quantities, could result in a minimum six-month sentence.

Once convicted, even if the sentence weren't severe, it would still be a huge blow to Xavier as the head secretary of Beckett Group's president. His future would be ruined.

In another room, Harvey Palmer, the member of the Ivory Gang who sold drugs to Xavier, was having a private conversation with his attorney, Jabari Chapman.

"The Ivory Gang strictly prohibits its members from dealing drugs. You know that very well. Your actions have made Mr. Nathan extremely angry." Jabari stared at him with a dark expression. Thinking of the ruthless Nathan, Harvey paled, and his chair squeaked as he trembled.

"Mr. Nathan is giving you two options. One, you take all the blame and tell the police that you sold drugs to Xavier voluntarily. You got angry when Xavier didn't accept your offer, so you secretly planted the drugs in his suit pocket. Everything was your doing, and Xavier has nothing to do with this."

Harvey's eyes reddened with anger. He gritted his teeth but dared not speak out.

Jabari had already prepared the testimony for him. The Ivory Gang's lawyer was really something.

"If you don't agree, whether you come out of prison alive is a question. Don't forget about your 60-year-old mother and your younger brother who still hasn't married in the countryside.

"If you obey, Mr. Nathan will take care of your family. If you don't, he'll make sure your whole family joins you in hell." Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Upon hearing that, Harvey widened his eyes, and he immediately nodded vigorously. "I-I agree! I'll confess! Please ask Mr. Nathan to spare my mother and my brother! I'll admit to any crime!"

Satisfied, Jabari nodded and continued coldly, "Mr. Nathan also wants me to ask you if you were instigated by someone to frame Xavier. Who's behind this? If you confess, I can try to help you reduce your sentence."

"N-No one instigated me."

Harvey confessed, spilling everything. "That Xavier guy showed up at my place three days straight, but he wasn't interested in partying with girls. I figured he wanted to buy some meds, so I approached him. "At first, he was cautious, asking about the meds. I observed him for a while before finally agreeing to the deal. No one instigated me. It was just my bad luck that the cops showed up on the day of the deal!" Jabari frowned. "Meds? Is that the name of the drug?"

Harvey grabbed Jabari's hand as if grasping a lifeline. He pleaded, "Please help me explain to Mr. Nathan! I-I did use this stuff to make money privately. But it's just medicine! It's not a drug!"

The police handling the case never expected Harvey to completely overturn all his previous testimony in just half an hour. He insisted that the incident had nothing to do with Xavier and that it was all his doing. Even a fool could guess what his attorney had told him to make him take all the blame.

However, the police couldn't obtain the surveillance footage from the nightclub that night. With issues arising with witness testimony, Xavier was eventually successfully released on bail. However, for the next month, he couldn't leave Solana City and had to be available for police questioning at any time.
