Can't Win Me Back



Caroline was deranged, and Justin tortured and killed animals. To make matters worse, Zachary, the Dutton family's heir and Justin's uncle, had brutally murdered his own lovers. A horrifying thought struck Alyssa-Was everyone in the Dutton family mentally disturbed? Did Justin inherit Caroline's insanity, which explained his wild behavior?

"Is it true that Justin isn't sane?" Sean shook his head in disbelief. "But he looks completely normal! His emotions are absolutely stable!

'That's what scares me the most. I'm afraid he has been disguising himself all these years, suppressing his true nature just to get closer to Madam. I'm worried he might harm you! Rosie exclaimed, her eyes brimming with tears.

"Justin's torture and killing of animals suggest he has violent tendencies and a cold-blooded nature. This behavior indicates antisocial personality traits, but it doesn't provide sufficient evidence of a mental illness."

Alyssa took a deep breath to calm herself. She continued with a contemplative gaze and a slight tremor in her eyes, "However, mental conditions can indeed be hereditary. I suspect Mrs. Beckett and her eldest brother had some form of abnormality."

"Ms. Alyssa, I've just remembered something!" Sean's eyes widened. "I recall my father mentioning that it was his colleague who handled the murder case involving Zachary Dutton.

"During his first trial, he was sentenced to death. But in the second trial, he appealed, and his lawyer submitted a diagnosis report stating he had a mental condition. That's why he was sentenced to life in prison.

The justice system in Solana City is very strict about examining and diagnosing whether a criminal has any mental issues. The fact that Zachary managed to navigate through all the layers of supervision and checks shows he is absolutely insanel

Alyssa lowered her eyes, agreeing with Sean's assessment.

"Overall, Madam, you must stay away from Mr. Justin-preferably as far away as possible. As the saying goes, a leopard doesn't change its spots. After 20 years away, how could he become an honest person overnight? He likely returned with a scheme in mind..."

Suddenly, Rosie slapped her forehead. "Oh no! Is he going to fight Mr. Jasper for the position as heir? That lunatic... He wouldn't do anything to harm Mr. Jasper, would he?"

Even though this was merely speculation, Alyssa felt as though she were being strangled. She could hardly breathe. After a moment, her eyes sparkled with determination. She looked at Rosie and said, "If that's the case, I shouldn't hide from him."

Rosie and Sean were both taken aback. "Why is that?"

"If he's not back to cause trouble, I won't do anything. But if he intends to harm Jasper, I won't let him succeed."

Alyssa lifted her chin slightly. Her dark eyes were as still as a midnight lake, yet they contained an unpredictable strength. She continued, "When he returns to the Beckett Group,

he'll certainly keep his plans secret from Jasper and the rest of the Becketts

"But if he tries to approach me, and I lure him in, he might reveal his true intentions to show his sincerity. If he has anything to hide, I won't leam about it as long as I avoid him. Therefore, I can't back away, no matter what."

"But, Madam, that's far too dangerous!" Rosie had heard from Xavier about Alyssa and Jasper's breakup. Her heart ached for Alyssa, so much so that she was on the verge of tears. "With Mr. Jasper's condition.. he can't be by your side to protect you. How can you face this alone? You can't put yourself in danger again!"

Alyssa forced a reassuring smile, suppressing the sorrow inside her. "I've never relied on Jasper in my life. Besides, there's no one we can rely on forever. The only one we can truly depend on is ourselves."This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Just then, her phone rang. It was Cyrus calling.

Alyssa's heart raced. She sensed that something was about to happen.

"Hey, Cyrus,' she answered.

"Lyse, the DNA test results are in."

The emotions that surged within Cyrus made his voice tremble uncontrollably. "Remy... Is Darrien!
