Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
Chapter 556

Xavier swiftly closed his gaping mouth, only for his jaw to drop open again. He gave Jasper a thumbs-up and replied, "You look fantastic! So full of energy!" Jasper's expression instantly soured as he demanded, "Do I really look great?"

Xavier was momentarily stunned before finally getting it. If Jasper appeared healthy and energetic, it would alleviate Alyssa's guilt, as it meant he was recovering well. On the other hand, if Jasper showed up looking sickly, Alyssa would feel concerned about him.

So, that was Jasper's strategy. How clever!

The two men were stopped by an assistant when they stepped into the building. The assistant said, "Gentlemen, Ms. Emerson is seeing a VIP now and unavailable for meetings. I'm afraid you'll have to leave." Jasper put on a stern face and asked, "Is Ms. Emerson with her mentor right now?"

The assistant was taken aback by his knowledge and asked, "How did you know?"

"I'm here as Ms. Emerson's mentor's husband," Jasper responded with narrowed eyes. "You can't stop a husband from seeing his wife."

Xavier's jaw hung agape at Jasper's audacity.

The assistant frowned and scrutinized Jasper before remarking, "Mr. Beckett, do you think I wouldn't recognize you? If I recall correctly, your fiancée, Ms. Gardner, ordered a dress from us just a few months ago. She announced your upcoming wedding at her birthday party in quite a grand manner."

Jasper tensed at the mention of Liana's name.

The assistant continued, "It's been only a few months, and now you're here claiming that Ms. Emerson's mentor is your wife. Do you take us as fools?"

Jasper wanted to explain himself but was abruptly interrupted by a sharp scream from the second floor. Rose shouted, "Jasper Beckett, what did you just say? Repeat it. Who's your wife?"

She ran up to Jasper, eyes widened in shock.

"Your mentor, Alyssa Taylor, is my wife." He paused and added in a low voice to avoid any misunderstanding, "Well, she's my ex-wife."

"Oh my gosh!" Rose was baffled to learn the truth. Still, she was in disbelief. "I'm warning you now-you'd better not make up stories to take advantage of her fame! We'll sue you if you ruin her reputation!" "If you doubt my words, feel free to ask Alyssa herself. She'll tell you," Jasper replied calmly.

"Impossible! I don't get it! What on earth made her choose you?" Rose instinctively took a step back from Jasper. "Only someone shallow like Liana Gardner would fall for an audacious older man like you!" Jasper awkwardly pressed his lips. Right, what made Alyssa fall for him? While he had once saved her life, that had occurred 13 years ago when she was just 11. Could she have even considered marrying him at that age? It simply didn't make sense.

"Yes. He's my ex-husband," Alyssa's voice echoed from the second floor, drawing the attention of Rose, Jasper, and Xavier.

Dressed in a white silk blouse and black formal pants, she leaned against the railing with an amused expression. It was as though she was looking right through Jasper.

She continued, "Forgive me, Rose. Again, I'm not the first woman who has stumbled into a wrong marriage."
